Résumé:
Cell phones and E-mail, home shopping and the Internet - "old" industrial societies have been turning into globally connected information societies on the sly. At the same time, the population is tending to retreat into its own four walls. Yet - or maybe for this reason - public urban spaces are becoming more and more important, having lost none of their significance as interfaces of human communication. This catalogue is published in conjunction with the thirtieth anniversary of the Bremen program for public art. It features over thirty artists who have confronted urban and social aspects of the city and developed their own personal visions, utopias and fantasies of a life in and with the city. Artists featured: Kim Adams, Louise Bourgeois, Stephen Craig, Bogomir Ecker, Olafur Eliasson, Ayse Erkmen, Isa Genzken, Dorothee Golz, Wiebke Grösch/Frank Metzger, Hans Haacke, Rudolf Herz, Stephan Huber, Rolf Julius, Emilia und Ilya Kabakov, Andree Korpys/Markus Löffler, Mischa Kuball, Atelier Van Lieshout, M+M, Joachim Manz, Olaf Nicolai, Julian Opie, Panamarenko, Hermann Pitz, Marjetica Potrc, Tobias Rehberger, Thomas Ruff/Florian Baudrexel/Jens Ullrich, Roman Signer, Bert Theis, herman de vries, Wolfgang Winter/Berthold Hörbelt

Résumé:
Désormais omniprésent, l'étalement urbain combiné à la recomposition des villes remodèle la géographie fabriquant des territoires hybrides, ni urbains, ni ruraux. A partir de l'analyse du cas français, mais considérant aussi l'Amérique, l'Asie et l'Afrique, l'ouvrage étudie les effets conjoints des infrastructures routières, des lotissements pavillonnaires et des centres commerciaux. Attentif aux conséquences morphologiques, économiques et sociales, l'auteur révèle les convergences planétaires autour d'un urbanisme de secteurs et d'une ville franchisée. Ce qualificatif doit s'entendre dans le sens commercial des villes saisies par les logiques du marketing mais aussi dans l'acceptation domaniale du terme, à savoir la privatisation progressive d'espaces toujours plus vastes. Dénonçant ces environnements sécurisés, de moins en moins publics et gratuits, David Mangin s'emploie à défendre le principe de la " ville passante " fondé sur l'idée d'une moindre dépendance automobile, d'une forte hétérogénéité des architectures et d'une véritable diversité d'usages.

Résumé:
"Open: New Designs for Public Space" puts forth the simple proposition that new public spaces need not be the banal leftovers of design neglect. "Open" showcases the best recent public projects from some of the world's most talented designers, including Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio, Craig Dykers, Peter Eisenman, Zaha Hadid, Walter Hood, UN Studio, Norman Foster, Weiss/Manfredi, and Will Alsop. More than 300 images illustrate a range of projects from memorials to new types of urban plazas and parks. Essays by Raymond Gastil, Linda Pollak, and Zoë Ryan, argue that the most successful urban spaces are those that combine large-scale operations and small-scale experiences, major infrastructure with recreation and culture, and grand civic events with intimate daily interaction.

Les savoirs sur les infrastructures modernes de transport, routes, voies férrées, ports... et sur l'aménagement territorial de grande dimension, sont aujourd'hui peu nombreux et mal diffusés. Cet ouvrage se propose donc d'éclairer un terrain et des questionnements qui, faute du concours de la science, resteraient peu compréhensibles, et de ce fait facilement vilipendés au nom de nostalgies passéistes de divers types. Il interroge les conditions théoriques et pratiques de la production des infrastructures et de l'aménagement du territoire au travers de multiples approches qui mettent en jeu le concept d'échelle et la notion de dimension.

Current policies in planning emphasise the importance of rejuvenating neighbourhoods. This guide seeks to bridge the gap between rhetoric and reality, promoting an interprofessional and collaborative approach to making localities work. The objective is to design neighbourhoods that are healthy, safe, friendly and attractive for residents and users, whilst being more self-sustaining in terms of water, energy, local services and work. Social inclusion, accessibility and the quality of the public realm will be central tenets. The guide is distinctive in showing not only what should be done but also how it could be done. The book provides a practical guide with illustrations and case studies.

Dans ce livre, les auteurs (artistes, architectes, philosophes, historiens, urbanistes) observent les façons dont l’« espace », le « temps » et les « formes d’expressions » sont plus ou moins solidaires des évolutions sociales et techniques qui assaillent les sociétés contemporaines. Ces évolutions s’affrontent, se combinent ou se parasitent, mais nul ne peut les ignorer, tant elles interfèrent dans le devenir urbain. L’art dans sa relation complexe au territoire y parvient-il ? À l’heure de l’éparpillement géographique des villes et de l’émiettement du temps de la quotidienneté, l’art peut-il manifester la « signification insignifiable »
