Résumé:
Le processus de conception d'espaces infantiles doit prendre en compte deux aspects importants : la sécurité et l'amusement. Les enfants sont par nature des explorateurs et ont besoin d'une stimulation visuelle et tactile au sein d'une ambiance qui minimise les potentielles chutes, les écorchures et les bleus. Cet ouvrage expose quelques-uns des espaces infantiles les plus innovateurs et amusants construits dans le monde entier, proposant des exemples de crèches, de parcs pour enfants ou de zones d'expositions dans des musées. Tous ces projets promeuvent l'intérêt des plus petits envers l'art. Les enfants, leurs nécessités et leur développement sont les éléments clés pour la conception des projets sélectionnés, illustrés avec de grandes photographies, des plans et décrits par des textes qui expliquent le processus de conception et les inspirations des architectes.

Résumé:
As populations steadily increase in cities, the world's natural resources are consumed at ever-faster rates. The majority of the world's populations live in countries where clean water supplies are dwindling, and these water shortages are also quickly translating into food shortages. What can designers do to avert looming water-related realities? UrbanLab: Bowling views potential water crises as opportunities to speculate on future urban design possibilities, especially in cities. Several projects are presented that take an ecological approach to re-thinking received urban design methodologies of addressing the design of water-related infrastructures in existing and new cities.

Résumé:
À quoi tient aujourd’hui la légitimité de la prison ? Au tournant sécuritaire commandé par la réaction néolibérale, assurément. Mais aussi à la croyance que la prison est perfectible, envers et contre tout. Régulièrement, des « prisons modèles » s’évertuent à raviver une utopie pénitentiaire moribonde. Les discours qui les accompagnent font miroiter la possibilité d’un enfermement enfin avantageux sinon salutaire, comme si jusqu’ici, par manque d’imagination, de volonté et de moyens, l’on n’avait pas vraiment essayé. C’est oublier une histoire jalonnée de diverses tentatives, parfois grandioses, qui donne toutes les raisons d’en douter. Pour nous la remémorer, ce livre effectue une vaste mise en perspective dans le temps et l’espace. De Genève à Pékin en passant par Londres ou Saint-Pétersbourg, du début du XIXe siècle à nos jours, il rappelle des cas célèbres ou méconnus de « prisons modèles » qui, d’abord encensées, ont tourné au fiasco.

Résumé:
Although new technologies appear poised to alter it, the library remains a powerful site for discovery, and its form is still determined by the geometry of the book and the architectural spaces devised to store and display it. American Libraries provides a history and panorama of these much-loved structures, inside and out, encompassing the small personal collection, the vast university library, and everything in between. Through 500 photographs and plans selected from the encyclopedic collections of the Library of Congress, Kenneth Breisch traces the development of libraries in the United States, from roots in such iconic examples as the British Library and Paris’s Bibliothèque-Ste.-Geneviève to institutions imbued with their own, American mythology. Starting with the private collections of wealthy merchants and landowners during the eighteenth century, the book looks at the Library of Congress, large and small public libraries, and the Carnegie libraries, and it ends with a glimpse of modern masterworks.

Résumé:
Through exquisite drawings and storytelling, Julia Jacquette's graphic memoir provides a distinctive account of her childhood in Manhattan in the 1960s and 1970s. Inspired by the adventure playgrounds from her youth growing up in New York City, the painter Julia Jacquette explores the brightly colored structures of the play spaces and the surrounding landscape of the city in Playground of My Mind. With compelling illustrations and personal narrative, this book features adventure playgrounds created by architects Richard Dattner, M. Paul Friedberg, the partnership Ross Ryan Jacquette in New York City, and Aldo van Eyck in Amsterdam. These structures encouraged constructive, imaginative play and gave renewed life to utopian notions of American and European modernist architecture.

Résumé:
The Murrays have been capturing impeccable photographs from the streets of New York City since the 1990s. With Store Front II they’ve continued their documentation of an important cross-section of New York’s “Mom and Pop” economy. The Murray’s penetrating photographs are only half the story though. Their copious background texts, gleaned largely from interviews with the stores’ owners and employees, bring wonderful color and nuance to the importance of these unique one-off establishments. The Murrays have rendered the out of the way bodegas, candy shops and record stores just as faithfully as the historically important institutions and well known restaurants, bars and cafes. From the Stonewall Inn to the Brownsville Bike Shop and The Pink Pussycat to Smith and Wolensky, the Murrays reveal how New York’s long-standing businesses stand in sharp contrast to the city’s rapidly evolving corporate facade.

Résumé:
Until sometime in the 1980s, playgrounds were places for social experiments, risky projects and spectacular sculptures. Architects, urban planners, artists, parents and children were invited to leave their comfort zones and to venture something new in the design and use of playgrounds. The Playground Project explores these exemplary initiatives, pioneering acts and adventures in designing modern childhood. Examples from Europe, the US, Japan and India are discussed in depth and illustrated with numerous images. Truly a comprehensive overview, this volume includes works by artists, architects and landscape architects such as Marjory Allen, Joseph Brown, Riccardo Dalisi, Richard Dattner, Aldo van Eyck, M. Paul Friedberg, Group Ludic (Xavier de la Salle, Simon Koszel, David Roditi), Alfred Ledermann and Alfred Trachsel, Palle Nielsen, Egon Møller-Nielsen, Isamu Noguchi, Joseph Schagerl, Mitsuru Senda and Carl Theodor Sørensen. Swiss political scientist and urban planner Gabriela Burkhalter contributes an introduction, and essays by Xavier de la Salle, Sreejata Roy and Vincent Romagny investigate the stakes of the architectural and artistic experiments surveyed. The first comprehensive overview of this kind, The Playground Project addresses laymen as well as experts who want to do more on the playground than just seesaw and swing.
