Les vingt-quatre textes de recherche réunis dans cet ouvrage couvrent tous ces thèmes de recherche depuis la fin des années cinquante et retracent l'évolution de sa pensée. Pour la plupart devenus introuvables, ils sont ici sélectionnés, présentés par l'auteur et font l'objet d'une lecture réactualisée. Ils rendent compte d'un intérêt constant pour la ville en ses mutations qu'on peut approcher dans des formes et dans ses temps. Car, s'il n'y a pas qu'une lectures de la ville, il y a en revanche permanence des processus qui mettent en jeu acteurs et structures physiques à travers des temps différents : ceux de la fabrication, des usages et des pratiques. Ce recueil s'adresse d'abord aux acteurs - architectes, urbanistes, géographes ou sociologues - mais également à l'usager ou à l'observateur en évoquant l'importance et la légitimité de chacun des regards et en donnant toute sa dimension, profondément humaine donc évolutive et complexe, à la ville.

Résumé:
This book addresses the status of the periphery and of the peripheric -the state of being around something- as an antiquated space, a space fallen into disuse or discredit, where all defunct fashions are absorbed, and takes it as a starting point for revising the idea in which a recently acquired historical perspective plays an essential role. That as a common place, the periphery belongs to the past is an advantage which, along with the interventions making up this book, we intend to make good use of. The first part of this book, "Prepositions: A Journey to the Periphery", attempts to juxtapose examples of architectural and photographic interventions that have contributed, and contribute, to turning the periphery into an easily identifiable spatial signifier, and likewise to propose a rereading of these spaces which permits us to decipher their more or less diverse yearnings, utopias and social spaces. In all these interventions the periphery is always comparable to a concrete geographical reality to which one directs oneself, towards which one travels, with the aim of appropriating it, of defining it. This always involves the same preposition: around. The second part, "Propositions: The Journey of the Periphery", will be taken up with the rehabilitation or reutilization of the concept of the periphery. Once the concept of the periphery is considered as being obsolete, it is possible -and this is the chief theoretical contribution of this project- to recycle it, to convert the preposition "around" into a theoretical proposition that gives a number of new twists to the concept and explores its possibilities. The projects and photos included in this second part reflect a fundamental change in the perception of the periphery. The periphery escapes its geographical location and occupies the city's historic center, rural/natural surroundings, technological fantasies, the social utopias of postmodernity, etc. The periphery ceases to mean "around" as a physical location and becomes an invitation to reflection "around" the periphery as both concept and possibility. This doesn't so much mean a colonizing journey to the periphery, as in the first part, as a journey of the periphery to places where it was proscribed until quite recently. The periphery turns out to mean a mobile discourse that uses the common places of the classical periphery in order to dislodge and deterritorialize these.

Résumé:
The dominant architectures in our culture of development consist of generic protocols for building offices, airports, houses, and highways. For Keller Easterling these organizational formats are not merely the context of design efforts. They are the design. Bridging the gap between architecture and infrastructure, Easterling views architecture as part of an ecology of interrelationships and linkages, and she treats the expression of organizational character as part of the architectural endeavor. Easterling also makes the case that these organizational formats are improvisational and responsive to circumstantial change, to mistakes, anomalies, and seemingly illogical market forces. By treating these irregularities opportunistically, she offers architects working within the customary development protocols new sites for making and altering space. By showing the reciprocal relations between systems of thinking and modes of designing, Easterling establishes unexpected congruencies between natural and built environments, virtual and physical systems, highway and communication networks, and corporate and spatial organizations. She frames her unconventional notion of site not in terms of singular entities, but in terms of relationships between multiple sites that are both individually and collectively adjustable.

Résumé:
The city's reign over our senses, our moods, our very ways of being is outmoded. The suburban metropolis has superseded the city. The new building materials are non-material: electricity, telephony, weather, time, and so forth. Consequently, according to Lars Lerup, architecture and architects must be rethought. Until now, architects have been trained to serve the elite few, as reflected in a belief in customization and the uniqueness of each project. Instead, Lerup holds, architectural educators should promote teamwork and the design of authorless objects, combined with an integration of design and practice. Before we can rethink the architectural curriculum, however, we must rethink the metropolis. And rethink the metropolis is just what Lerup does. In an intellectually far-ranging yet intensely personal manner, he moves from contemplation of the form and philosophical implications of the Pantheon to a discussion of how Levittown residents seek and create community. The result is an exhilarating work with profound practical implications. Unlike the many who view suburbia with paranoid dismay, Lerup takes an optimistic view of the new, open metropolis--for him not the site of unavoidable uniformity and mediocrity, but an exciting new frontier.

Résumé:
The spectacularly successful transformation of Times Square has become a model for other cities. From its beginning as Longacre Square, Times Square’s commercialism, signage, cultural diversity, and social tolerance have been deeply embedded in New York City’s psyche. Its symbolic role guaranteed that any plan for its renewal would push the hot buttons of public controversy: free speech, property-taking through eminent domain, development density, tax subsidy, and historic preservation. In "Times Square Roulette", Lynne Sagalyn debunks the myth of an overnight urban miracle performed by Disney and Mayor Giuliani, to tell the far more complex and commanding tale of a twenty-year process of public controversy, nonstop litigation, and interminable delay. She tells how the troubled execution of the original redevelopment plan provided a rare opportunity to rescript it. And timing was all: the mid-1990s saw rising international corporate interest in the city as a mecca for mass-market entertainment and synergistic merchandising. Sagalyn details the complex relationship between planning and politics and the role of market forces in shaping Times Square’s redevelopment opportunities. She shows how policy was wedded to deal making and how persistent individuals and groups forged both.
