Résumé:
Avec le temps, la colonne est devenue l'élément emblématique de l'architecture. Souvent perçue comme le symbole révolu d'une culture académique, elle continue pourtant à exister dans l'architecture contemporaine, essentiellement sous la forme du segment vertical d'une structure complexe visant à libérer le plan. Ce recueil d'essais propose une vision de cet élément à travers les siècles sous un angle qui privilégie l'analyse, la construction, le matériau, la technique. Il plaide pour une histoire de l'architecture réintégrant les contributions décisives des savants et des mathématiciens. Il veut être aussi le point de départ d'une collection d'ouvrages qui vise à décomposer l'architecture en éléments, pour parvenir à constituer une nouvelle histoire de la construction, à la fois technique et théorique, intéressant étudiants, architectes et ingénieurs.

N'aspirant pas à avoir empire sur elles, ils assumeraient, l'un et l'autre à leur manière, de gouverner les formes, au sens d'un ménagement (das Schonen), pour que(...)

Résumé:
L'architecture et le design partagent un même souci des formes, tous deux les considérant moins pour ce qu'elles sont que pour ce qu'elles peuvent, pour ce qu'elles engagent et ouvrent comme possibilités. N'aspirant pas à avoir empire sur elles, ils assumeraient, l'un et l'autre à leur manière, de gouverner les formes, au sens d'un ménagement (das Schonen), pour que dérivent d'elles tant l'apparence que l'utilité de bâtiments, d'objets nouveaux entre autres choses. Au sein de cet essai, David Bihanic s'attelle à clarifier la contribution commune de l'architecture et du design au dessein des formes, précisant en quoi celle-ci s'avèrerait tout entière retenue à un accomplissement.

Résumé:
"Architecture and retrenchment" explores the "neoliberal turn" in architecture, through the rise and fall of the Swedish welfare state. There are few better case studies of architecture's role in the retrenchment and dismantling of the welfare state than Sweden, the birthplace of the world-famous "Swedish Model" and now home to Europe's fastest-growing inequality. Through eight in-depth architectural case studies, Helena Mattsson analyzes how neoliberalism has created conditions for a new built environment which was once closely integral to the welfare system, examining how new architectural strategies and techniques were developed in order to protect the agency of architecture in a newly re-organised society, and revealing the role of architecture in creating new types of segregation, discrimination, and social stratification.

Résumé:
A publication based on "Pandemic objects", an editorial project that compiles and reflects on objects that have taken on new meaning and purpose during the Covid-19 pandemic. During times of pandemic, a host of everyday often-overlooked "objects" are suddenly charged with new urgency. Toilet paper becomes a symbol of public panic, a forehead thermometer a tool for social control, convention centres become hospitals, while parks become contested public commodities. By compiling these objects and reflecting on their changing purpose and meaning, the project aims to paint a unique picture of the pandemic and the pivotal role objects play within it.

Résumé:
Formerly the Louis I. Kahn Visiting Assistant Professor at Yale University, architect Fernanda Canales (born 1974), together with her studio, was named one of the world's "100+ Best Architecture Firms" by Domus magazine, and was cited by the New York Times as one of 10 women changing the face of international leadership. Canales' practice almost exclusively focuses on residential buildings. Her solutions address the environmental challenges of a given area or of a changing climate at large: whether rebuilding a family home damaged by an earthquake or designing a new house around the existing trees and vegetation. In this collection of essays published by 2G, Canales analyzes the evolution of the house by dismantling three critical assumptions: the house as a place of rest separate from work, the house as an object of private property and the house as a sanctuary for the nuclear family.

Longtemps insolite et singulière, la réhabilitation de l'existant est en passe d'être systématiquement envisagée dans les grands projets architecturaux et urbains. En cause ? La priorité donnée aux vertus écologiques du réemploi, qui s'est récemment greffée sur le souci fondateur de la préservation du patrimoine. Ancienne abbatiale, piscine municipale, gare désaffectée, entrepôts industriels à l'abandon, usines, moulins et ateliers à l'arrêt : la destruction est la solution d'une époque révolue ; paradoxalement rétrograde. L'auteur de cet ouvrage, acteur de la transformation de la gare d'Orsay en musée, et concepteur entre autres de La Piscine à Roubaix et du musée de Valence, a été l'un des pionniers en France de la métamorphose architecturale.

Résumé:
This book provides an intellectual history of the modernist "minimum dwelling", exploring how early modernism saw mass housing as a primary vehicle for achieving the utopian transformation of society. It reappraises the often-overlooked 2nd and 3rd CIAM conferences (1929-31), addressing their engagement with the "minimum dwelling" and revealing them both as milestones in the organisation's annals and as seminal moments in the history of interwar modernism. Split into two parts, ''The Minimum Dwelling'' Revisited first takes a genealogical approach to explore the provenance of the concept of "minimum dwelling" prior to the 2nd and 3rd CIAM conferences, it then traces the proceedings of the two conferences themselves. Addressing the origins of the "minimum dwelling" concept but also its legacies, and serving as a corrective to the overemphasis on 4th CIAM conference and the Athens Charter, the book is essential reading for scholars researching urban design during the Interwar period.

Résumé:
Charleroi, the denigrated capital of the Belgian hinterland, is the unlikely new paradigm for a contemporary city. What seems an incoherent jumble of manmade exuberance—a byproduct of modernity, really—transcends the infamous architectural dichotomy between the centre and the periphery. This is the Large City; dispersed and decentralised, it embraces its post-industrial condition. An artificial nature where zero-kilometre food production, electric bikes and trail running enable everyone to live large. Without nostalgia for its industrial ruins, nor contempt for modernity, the city was the subject of a year-long studio led by Kersten Geers at the Academy of Architecture USI in Mendrisio. As a form of “applied theory”, the book presents students’ projects—an imaginary city—coupled with some real projects: Megafactory by OFFICE and Palais des Expositions by Architecten Jan de Vylder Inge Vinck & AgwA. The book features photographs of Charleroi by Stefano Graziani.
