Résumé:
In the mid-1960s, New York City Mayor Robert Wagner assembled a team of the best and brightest urban designers and architects to decide the future of downtown Manhattan. After six months of drawing and discussion, they produced "The Lower Manhattan Plan", a 368-page document that was hand-typed, hand-bound, and photocopied. Only one hundred copies were made. But in spite of the limited number, this became the most influential document in determining the physical appearance of lower Manhattan. Now, as the future of downtown Manhattan is being reconsidered, "The Lower Manhattan Plan" takes on new relevance, offers new parallels for transforming Manhattan, and provides a thoughtful and careful consideration of many issues that are as pressing today as they were when the World Trade Center were just beginning construction. This complete reprint of the original document has an introduction by Skyscraper Museum Director Carol Willis and an essay by urban historian Ann Buttenwieser.

Résumé:
Chow offers an alternate vision to the conventional suburban housing that characterizes much of our domestic landscape. Her integrated, original approach to design sees the residential setting as a fabric of interrelated spaces that supports cultural diversity and change, promotes sharing in a setting, and sustains a more intense use of land. With its concise, informative text and illustrations--including photographs and Chow's drawings--"Suburban space" challenges architects, landscape architects, developers, and planners to reconceptualize suburban housing. Chow has made comparative studies of neighborhoods in Boston, Charleston, San Francisco, Levittown, Radburn, and housing by Rudolf Schindler and Irving Gill, as well as other residential settings. Her argument for a fabric of dwelling is founded not on generalizations about how people live but on documented observations of the particular ways in which people organize their daily lives. This book demonstrates how one of the most disparaged yet common types of housing in the United States can become more environmentally and culturally viable.

À l'issue de ce travail, et comme en prolongement, les auteurs confrontent ses résultats aux exigences de l'économie globalisée. Redonnant au mot "ville" la plénitude de son sens commun, ce livre explore le contexte de cette nouvelle place des villes dans la République. Il propose un aperçu global et transversal de problématiques trop souvent traitées de façon séparée et autonome : le développement économique de la ville, la pertinence et la cohésion des territoires, la démocratie locale, la gestion du développement durable, la cohésion sociale et les solidarités, la place des villes dans l'Union européenne. Il analyse enfin le triptyque fondamental, projet, contrat et évaluation, comme clé de la gouvernance. On y voit la décentralisation continue d'avancer, à petits pas. Pour les auteurs, le temps est venu de passer de la République des cantons à la République des villes et de parachever ainsi la décentralisation. Ils démontrent que c'est à ce prix que la France trouvera toute sa place dans l'Europe élargie et qu'elle conservera ses vertus essentielles, telle la démocratie.

Résumé:
" Parties communes " rend compte de tous les projets réalisés en tandem par Mustapha Sanaoui et Nathalie Dubois, respectivement architecte et artiste. Ce livre va bien au-delà de l’ouvrage monographique ou du bilan d’activité. Les deux créateurs travaillent ensemble sur des projets qui lient l’architecture, l’art, le social et l’urbanisme. Leur objectif est d’analyser la ville contemporaine, ses mécanismes, son évolution, ses habitants et ses " micro territoires " pour intervenir auprès des usagers en tenant compte du contexte dans lequel ils évoluent (environnement, histoire, culture et modes de vie). "Parties communes" est avant tout un " document " dont le titre traduit le regard que portent cette artiste et cet architecte sur la ville : c’est un regard transversal qui cherche à comprendre l’humain et la singularité de son environnement urbain. Pour mener à bien leurs projets, ils ont créé un dispositif d’observation et d’intervention comprenant deux outils complémentaires : l’atelier art en thèse, laboratoire de recherche urbain, culturel, artistique et social, et l’agence architecture sanaoui. " Parties communes " raconte six années de projets artistiques et architecturaux menés dans l’ensemble du tissu urbain grâce à la mise en place de cette base de travail double. On y voit de quelle manière les créateurs ont pénétré dans différents espaces (d’habitation, de circulation, d’échange) afin d’en saisir la spécificité et d’y introduire une démarche créative. Cet ouvrage illustre un mode d’intervention qui apporte des réponses aux interrogations qu’engendre la ville contemporaine. Les actions artistiques et architecturales sont présentées à travers plusieurs récits qui résument chaque projet suivant un même déroulement : un rappel du contexte avant l’intervention, une présentation du type d’action envisagé et enfin la réalisation du projet avec, à cette occasion, l’implication des habitants. Les projets sont réalisés sur des sites dont l’identité et le rôle diffèrent parfois du tout au tout (quartiers, musées, Frac, centres d’art, métro parisien, établissements scolaires…). Plusieurs villes en France et à l’étranger ont ainsi été le champ d’action de SANAOUI et DUBOIS : Montpellier, Marseille, Paris, Bilbao, Nîmes… Ils ont confié la conception graphique de leur ouvrage à Vanina Gallo.

Résumé:
Victorian cities evoke images of crowded tenements where social unrest and epidemic disease were rampant. Conditions in nineteenth-century London, in particular, sparked efforts to find alternative plans for urban development. The most influential alternative to the Victorian city was Ebenezer Howard's Garden City, an idea he sketched in his modest book «To-morrow : a peaceful path to real reform». First published in 1898, To-Morrow attempted to improve the material condition of working-class families through a vision of new communities which would provide a better quality of life. Howard's legacy grew throughout the twentieth century in garden cities, suburbs, and green towns; a century later, architects and planners are still motivated by his ideas. Published on the one hundredth anniversary of Garden Cities of To-Morrow (1902), the more familiar version of Howard's pathbreaking book, the ten essays in this new volume place Howard's legacy in its historic context and show its continuing relevance for urban, regional, and environmental planners. Following a biographical essay, three articles trace the influence of Howard's ideas on the development of the modern metropolis, while another four address his concepts regarding the arrangement of housing and community life and show how they have influenced subsequent development. Two closing essays assess critical aspects of Howard's legacy for the twenty-first century. The contributors focus on the timeless significance of Howard's ideas about limits to growth, the effectiveness of agricultural greenbelts in growth management, and the use of physical space to promote human interaction, as well as the relevance of Howard's work to the new urbanism and sustainability movements.

Résumé:
The squares of Venice as a source of inspiration for modern architects and urban planners. Is it possible to interpret the urban spaces in ancient Venice as we would analyse those in Los Angeles or Rotterdam? This book is the attempt to analyse Venice's Campi in the same way we would consider public space today. It focuses on those places so essential to public life and which offer an endless number of variations in our urban surroundings. We are actors on the stages of the city. The continual fascination with Venice's campi shows that this feature of urban architecture still has a significant role to play in modern life and they have a great creative potential to offer today's architects and planners. This publication documents Venice's squares in detail, analysing them precisely. Extensive visual material including plans, photographs of models, and photo sequences of the actual squares complement the texts to provide a comprehensive reference on this topic. Alban Janson and Thorsten Bürklin led this research project from the University of Karlsruhe in Venice.

Résumé:
**OUT OF PRINT / EPUISÉ** Urban places can only be considered a success if they are being used. Here an overview of thriving squares and urban spaces in European architecture. What would a town be without squares? It is precisely these open spaces which give the built areas their meaning, function and character. Squares provide a breathing space within the structure of the city, separating and joining. They are the stage for urban actors, the heart of the political and social life of an urban community, and as such designing new squares or redesigning existing ones is one of the most delightful tasks for architects, urban planners and landscape architects. Open-air and multi-functional, squares are always unique and more strongly defined by their surroundings than buildings. This book presents the best and most attractive squares which have been presented in individual Topos magazines since 1993. It contains successful examples from Barcelona, Lyon, Reykjavik, Verona, Dublin and Vienna. Some of the examples, for instance, the Schouwerburgplein in Rotterdam, the Place des Terraux in Lyon or the Gustav-Adolf-Torg in Malmö were much discussed even criticized. Yet they bear the confident signature of their designer and a distinctive interplay of material and form, art and commerce, work and fun.
