Résumé:
De la critique théorique à l'analyse des tendances, de la théorie des objets à la scénographie ou à l'aménagement du territoire, l'architecture est toujours un projet. Elle interroge par le projet, invente formes et concepts ; participe davantage à la transformation des sujets, des manières d'être et de percevoir qu'elle ne construit des bâtiments. L'objet qu'elle partage avec tous les producteurs de sens ou de forme est"l'invention de nous-mêmes". Le "dispositif architecture" décrit la transmutation des habitudes de faire, la disparition de notions obsolètes et la formation d'une nouvelle réalité. Cet assemblage constitue une stratégie de projet et un label, Architecture Action. Cette activité est la création de concepts, dans une signification qui rend compte aussi bien du travail de l'agence de communication que du travail de la philosophie et de la construction de nos manières de vivre. Les textes sont ainsi rassemblés, sans distinction entre les documents critiques et ceux plus directement entrelacés à des démarches de projet. La brièveté de la valeur accordée aux produits - les bâtiments et les villes se déclassent comme les objets - s'est accompagnée du déplacement de l'intérêt des architectes vers les procédures de conception : l'objet compte moins que l'appareil de sa conception.

Does the recent explosion of the architectural manifesto signal a new urgency of the form, or does it represent a hopeless effort to resuscitate something that has outlived its useful lifespan? 'After the Manifesto' brings together architects and scholars to revisit the past, present and future of the manifesto. In what ways have manifestos transformed the field over the last 50 years, and in what ways has the manifesto itself been transformed by new modes of communication?

Résumé:
The first in a series by the Sikkens Foundation, this pocket-sized publication of the Mondrian Lecture given by Charles Jencks reprints his talk in full, along with various images. Jencks discusses the possibility that architecture and well-being can have a direct correlation, exploring how architecture can influence society, business productivity, profits and hospitals. He elaborates with examples of architectural determinism from both ancient and modern history, with a special focus on his experience with the Maggie’s Centres – cancer care centres set up throughout Britain by Jencks and designed by famous architects – whose purpose is to experiment with these ideas.

Résumé:
Charles Jencks and Nathan Silver's book was a manifesto for a generation that took pleasure in doing things ad hoc, using materials at hand to solve real-world problems. The implications were subversive. Turned-off citizens of the 1970s immediately adopted the book as a DIY guide. The word "adhocism" entered the vocabulary, the concept of adhocism became part of the designer's toolkit, and "Adhocism" became a cult classic. Now "Adhocism" is available again, with new texts by Jencks and Silver reflecting on the past forty years of adhocism and new illustrations demonstrating adhocism's continuing relevance.

Résumé:
Architecture depends - on what? On people, time, politics, ethics, mess: the real world. Architecture, Jeremy Till argues with conviction in this engaging, sometimes pugnacious book, cannot help itself; it is dependent for its very existence on things outside itself. Despite the claims of autonomy, purity, and control that architects like to make about their practice, architecture is buffeted by uncertainty and contingency. Circumstances invariably intervene to upset the architect's best-laid plans - at every stage in the process, from design through construction to occupancy. Architects, however, tend to deny this, fearing contingency and preferring to pursue perfection. With Architecture Depends, architect and critic Jeremy Till offers a proposal for rescuing architects from themselves: a way to bridge the gap between what architecture actually is and what architects want it to be. Mixing anecdote, design, social theory, and personal experience, Till's writing is always accessible, moving freely between high and low registers, much like his suggestions for architecture itself.

Résumé:
In Contagious Architecture, Luciana Parisi offers a philosophical inquiry into the status of the algorithm in architectural and interaction design. Her thesis is that algorithmic computation is not simply an abstract mathematical tool but constitutes a mode of thought in its own right, in that its operation extends into forms of abstraction that lie beyond direct human cognition and control. These include modes of infinity, contingency, and indeterminacy, as well as incomputable quantities underlying the iterative process of algorithmic processing.
