Parce qu'il n'y a aucune raison que la seule bonne architecture soit celle d'hier. Parce qu'il n'y a aucune raison que la qualité, le rêve, et l'audace courbent l'échine devant les seuls impératifs de rentabilité. Parce qu'il n'y a pas de raison que notre architecture témoigne moins de notre identité que nos joueuses de tennis, nos chorégraphes ou notre enrobé drainant. (...)

Résumé:
Alexander examines the kinds of process that are capable of generating living structure. The unfolding of living structure in natural systems is first compared to the unfolding of buildings and town plans in traditional society, and then contrasted with present day processes. The comparison reveals deep and shocking problems which pervade the present day planning and construction of buildings. He describes the detailed character of living process needed to generate, design, plan, and build buildings with living structure. The character of living process is contrasted, repeatedly, with the character of present-day professional process, which departs, again and again, from present process, in order to meet the necessities inherent in any truly life-creating process. Pervasive changes needed to create a world in which living process – and hence living structure – are attainable only through a transformation of society. The dynamic methods of Book 2, focusing on process, give an entirely different picture of the facts and concepts presented in Book 1.

Résumé:
Alexander addresses the cosmological implications of the theory he has constructed and presented. The book begins with a critique of current cosmological thinking, and its separation from personal feeling and value. The outline of a theory in which matter itself is more spirit-like, more personal in character, is sketched. The cosmological modifications presented in Book 4, are needed, to supplement the definition of the personal nature of matter, design, and form, and acts as a substrate for an attempt to implement living process. The book contains a long chapter, nearly one hundred pages long — almost a book in itself — in which Alexander presents his theory of color, as one ingredient of the new cosmological picture which he puts forward. This volume draws attention to new ways of looking at consciousness, and modifies physical theory so that the human person – what we know as self, and what Alexander calls the “I” — enters in as a fundamental and necessary ingredient of all matter.

Résumé:
From the earliest scratches on stone and bone to the languages of computers and the internet, "A History of Writing" offers a fascinating investigation into the origin and development of writing throughout the world. Commencing with the first stages of information storage, Fischer focuses on the emergence of complete writing systems in Mesopotamia in the fourth millennium BC. He documents the rise of Phoenician and its effect on the Greek alphabet, generating the many alphabetic scripts of the West. Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese writing systems are dealt with in depth, as is writing in pre-Columbian America. Also explored are Western Europe's medieval manuscripts and the history of printing, leading to the innovations in technology and spelling rules of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Résumé:
Architects, artists and designers are on a quest for legitimacy for their work and for socially relevant activities. Professional journals are calling for reflection and reconsideration of how one carries out one's craft. In other words, a debate is clearly underway about a new form of engagement by the design and visual disciplines toward the current problems of society. As a contribution to this debate, this book offers a collection of articles by leading authors who hold this 'new commitment' up to the light.

Résumé:
Sur le modèle des Documents relatifs à la fondation de l’Internationale situationniste, ce volume rassemble tous les écrits, tracts, documents, monographies publiés entre 1957 et 1960 par les membres de l’Internationale situationniste et qui ne figurent pas dans la revue du même nom. On y trouve plusieurs textes de Debord restés jusqu’à présent inaccessibles comme les Remarques sur le concept d’art expérimental ou Préliminaires pour une définition de l’unité de programme révolutionnaire, ainsi que les tracts dont la violence est une des marques de l’IS (Aux producteurs de l’art moderne, Défendez la liberté partout). Mais surtout, ce volume permettra de découvrir quelques aspects ignorés de la production situationniste comme la revue de la section allemande de l’IS Spur, dont le graphisme révolutionnaire annonce tous les fanzines underground et les réalisations artistiques situationnistes, particulièrement importantes au cours de ces trois années, en particulier l’étonnante tapisserie d’Asger Jorn intitulée Le Long Voyage.

Cet essai révèle enfin la pleine charge de sens, de provocation et d’émotion de ce qui est rien moins que le livre des origines profondes et intimes de l’aventure situationniste.
