Résumé:

His architecture photographs - inspired in particular by the aesthetics of Le Corbusier - and his cityscapes are the result of a special image construction that uses the media properties and possibilities of photography and film to create transitory states between documentation and fiction. Couturier asks engrossing questions about the nature of modernity. Images selected from series including Brasilia, Barcelone, Couvent La Tourette and La Havane.

Résumé:
As traces left behind by the last 200 years of profound historical change, architecture and photography contribute both to the contemporary skyline and to our image of the past. Their common history provides an indispensable background to discussions of what has been called the contemporary past modernity considered as an open problem rather than a closed historical period. In both cases, an irregular border can be traced between the discursive and its opposite, the material. The intersection offers an interesting confrontation between traditional academic historiography and the artistic application of historical perspectives, an exploration of the contemporary past.

Résumé:
From participatory architecture to interaction design, the question of how design accommodates use is driving inquiry in many creative fields. Expanding utility to embrace people’s everyday experience brings new promises for the social role of design. But this is nothing new. As the essays assembled in this publication show, interest in the elusive realm of the user was an essential part of architecture and design throughout the twentieth century. It argues that the user is not a universal but a historically constructed category of twentieth-century modernity that continues to inform architectural practice and thinking in often unacknowledged ways.

Among the revolutionaries, artists, and thinkers drawn to Naples were numerous scholars at a formative stage in their journeys: Walter Benjamin, Siegfried Kracauer, Alfred Sohn-Rethel, Asja Lacis, Theodor W. Adorno, and many others. While all were indelibly shaped by the volcanic Neapolitan landscape, it was Benjamin who first probed the relationship between the porous landscape and the local culture. But Adorno went further, transforming his surroundings into a radical new philosophy—one that became a turning point in the modern history of the discipline.
