Résumé:
En 2021, la commissaire de la 18e édition de la Biennale d'architecture de Venise Lesley Lokko créait l’African Futures Institute à Accra, capitale du Ghana, pour proposer un enseignement d’envergure internationale sur le continent africain mais surtout, dit-elle, « pour se saisir de l’espace expérimental, plus radical qu’offre l’Afrique, afin d’envisager autrement les études d’architecture dans le monde entier ». Dans une Afrique où la moyenne d’âge avoisine 20 ans, il y a « une énergie incroyable » qui représente l’occasion d’enrichir considérablement l’enseignement ainsi que la discipline et le métier en général. Ce numéro 455 propose un état des lieux de la scène architecturale contemporaine du continent africain, architectures plurielles par définition, et pose, dans un mouvement de décentrement, la question suivante : Qu’est-ce que l’Afrique apporte à l’architecture d’aujourd'hui ?

Résumé:
This title was first published in 2003: Modernist architecture claimed to be the 'international style' but the relationship between modernism and the new dispositions of nations and nationalities which have succeeded the old European empires remains obscure. In this, the first book to examine the interactions between modern architecture, imperialism and post-imperialism, Mark Crinson looks at the architecture of the last years of the British Empire, and during its prolonged dissolution and aftermath. Taking a number of case studies from Britain, Ghana, Hong Kong, Iran, India and Malaysia, he investigates the ambitions of the people who commissioned the buildings, the training and role of architects, and the interaction of the architecture and its changing social and cultural contexts. This book raises questions about the nature of modernism and its roles that look far beyond empire and towards the post-imperial.

Résumé:
"Museum frictions" is the third volume in a series on culture, society, and museums. "Museum frictions" is an illustrated examination of the significant and varied effects of the increasingly globalized world on contemporary museum, heritage, and exhibition practice. The contributors — scholars, artists, and curators —present case studies drawn from Africa, Australia, North and South America, Europe, and Asia. Together they offer a multifaceted analysis of the complex roles that national and community museums, museums of art and history, monuments, heritage sites, and theme parks play in creating public cultures. Whether contrasting the transformation of Africa’s oldest museum, the South Africa Museum, with one of its newest, the Lwandle Migrant Labor Museum; offering an interpretation of the audio guide at the Guggenheim Bilbao; reflecting on the relative paucity of art museums in Peru and Cambodia; considering representations of slavery in the United States and Ghana; or meditating on the ramifications of an exhibition of Australian aboriginal art at the Asia Society in New York City, the contributors highlight the frictions, contradictions, and collaborations emerging in museums and heritage sites around the world. The volume opens with an extensive introductory essay by Ivan Karp and Corinne A. Kratz, leading scholars in museum and heritage studies.
