'Footprint 17' addresses the architectural production of those in inconspicuous offices and unexciting departments who contribute their insights and experience to the making of architecture, the formulation of architectural history, and the politics of architectural design and theory. Footprint 17 explores the intellectual frameworks, didactic practices, research methods and analytical instruments that develop the disciplinary focus beyond the work of the “prime mover,” and the relevance of salaried architects and institutional agencies in shaping the spatial and social practices of the everyday.

Résumé:
L’histoire de l’architecture ne cesse de conjuguer deux regards : celui, panoramique, portant sur les ensembles urbains, révélant les politiques sociales ou techniques, et celui sur les édifices et leurs intérieurs, vus en gros plan, qui reflète les idéaux et l’engagement de leurs auteurs et de leurs habitants. Faisant dialoguer théoriciens, philosophes et écrivains avec les architectes du xxe siècle (Mies van der Rohe, Wright ou Le Corbusier), Jean-Louis Cohen suggère une approche renouvelée, ancrée dans l’histoire culturelle et dans l’humain, de l’architecture comme questionnement et comme pratique.

Quand Jean Prouvé, président du jury du concours d'idée international, proclame, le 15 juillet 1971, le nom des lauréats du Centre Beaubourg, il en sait aussi peu sur eux que ce que nous avons oublié depuis leurs incroyables carrières. Car que savons-nous des circonstances de la toute première association entre Richard Rogers (1933-, Pritzker 2007) et Renzo Piano (1937-, Pritzker 1998) ? Que ce serait-il passé si Rogers n'avait pas mis fin au Team 4 (1963-1967) formé avec Norman Foster (1935-, Pritzker 1999) ? Si son enseignement à l'Architectural Association (1969-1971) avec Renzo Piano n'avait abouti à la création d'une agence commune ? Si le bureau d'ingénieurs Ove Arup ne leur avait indiqué fin 1970 l'existence de la compétition ?

N'est-il pas né des souhaits d'André Malraux d'un Musée du XXe siècle et de la mort du Corbusier ? Le rayonnement de la France n'imposait-il pas de restructurer l'Ile-de-France et le centre de Paris ? Les remous autour du "quartier des Halles" ne participaient-ils pas à l'idée d'une vaste machinerie urbaine ? Que ce serait-il passé si Georges Pompidou, président entre 1969 et 1974, n'avait pas d'abord été Premier ministre (1962-1968) et grand amateur d'art actuel avec son épouse Claude ? Le chantier de Beaubourg ne fut-il pas avant tout celui de la France ?

Résumé:
"Inhabitable infrastructures: science fiction or urban future?", the follow up to "Food city and smartcities and eco-warriors", from one of the world’s leading urban design and architectural thinkers, explores the potential of climate change-related multi-use infrastructures that address the fundamental human requirements to protect, to provide and to participate. The stimulus for the infrastructures derives from postulated scenarios and processes gleaned from science fiction and futurology as well as the current body of scientific knowledge regarding changing environmental impacts on cities. Science fiction is interdisciplinary by nature, aggregates the past and present, and evaluates both lay opinions and professional strategies in an attempt to develop foresight and to map possible futures. The research culminates in the creation of innovative multi-use infrastructures and integrated self-sustaining support systems that meet the challenges posed through climate change and overpopulation, and the reciprocal benefits of simultaneously addressing the threat and the shaping of cities. J. G. Ballard has written that the psychological realm of science fiction is most valuable in its predictive function, and in projecting emotions into the future. The knowledge from the book is widely transferable, constituting both solutions and speculative visions of future urban environments. The book is indispensable reading for professionals and students in the fields of urban design, architecture, engineering and environmental socio-politics.

Résumé:
In a positive departure from modernism, the work of the art critic and urbanist Ludwig Hilberseimer offers schemata towards the design for the city itself: its mereological composition. The resonance of parts unfolds to an alternative of a purely contrasting equation of form and content. It reminds us, that when the ground (logos) of the city is defined by its parts (meros), its architecture, the city in turn always also is part of the architecture as its desire. The Mereological City introduces a mereological methodology and contributes to an ongoing discussion about an ecological form of urban design.

We don't just look at buildings: their facades, beautiful or ugly, conceal the spaces we inhabit. We are born, work, love, and die in architecture. We buy and sell it, rent it and squat in it, create and destroy it.

Résumé:
We don't just look at buildings: their facades, beautiful or ugly, conceal the spaces we inhabit. We are born, work, love, and die in architecture. We buy and sell it, rent it and squat in it, create and destroy it. These aspects of buildings-economic, erotic, political, and psychological-are crucial if we are to understand architecture properly. And because architecture molds us just as much as we mold it, understanding architecture helps us to understand our lives and our world. Through ten great buildings across the world, Tom Wilkinson reveals the powerful and intimate relationship between society and architecture and asks: Can architecture change our lives for the better?

Résumé:
Buildings are more like us than we realize. They can be born into wealth or poverty, enjoying every privilege or struggling to make ends meet. They have parents - gods, kings and emperors, governments, visionaries and madmen - as well as friends and enemies. They have duties and responsibilities. They can endure crises of faith and purpose. They can succeed or fail. They can live. And, sooner or later, they die. In "Fallen glory", James Crawford uncovers the biographies of some of the world's most fascinating lost and ruined buildings, from the dawn of civilization to the cyber era. The lives of these iconic structures are packed with drama and intrigue. Soap operas on the grandest scale, they feature war and religion, politics and art, love and betrayal, catastrophe and hope. Frequently their afterlives have been no less dramatic - their memories used and abused down the millennia for purposes both sacred and profane. They provide the stage for a startling array of characters, including Gilgamesh, the Cretan Minotaur, Agamemnon, Nefertiti, Genghis Khan, Henry VIII, Catherine the Great, Adolf Hitler, and even Bruce Springsteen. The twenty-one structures Crawford focuses on include The Tower of Babel, The Temple of Jerusalem, The Library of Alexandria, The Bastille, Kowloon Walled City, the Berlin Wall, and the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. Ranging from the deserts of Iraq, the banks of the Nile and the cloud forests of Peru, to the great cities of Jerusalem, Istanbul, Paris, Rome, London and New York, Fallen Glory is a unique guide to a world of vanished architecture. And, by picking through the fragments of our past, it asks what history's scattered ruins can tell us about our own future.
