Résumé:
Archigram, the magazine published irregularly between 1961 and 1970, and the name of the group that created it, is among the most significant phenomena to emerge in post-war architectural culture. The wired environments first advertised in the magazine's pages formulated an architectural vocabulary of metamorphosis and obsolescence. This vocabulary cross-pollinated industrial and digital technology at the same time as complex systems were becoming commercially available and more widely used.

Résumé:
In Re-collection, Richard Rinehart and JonIppolito argue that the vulnerability of new media art illustrates a larger crisis for social memory. They describe a variable media approach to rescuing new media,distributed across producers and consumers who can choose appropriate strategies for each endangered work. New media art poses novel preservation and conservation dilemmas. Given the ephemerality of their mediums, software art, installation art, and interactive games may be heading to obsolescence and oblivion.

Résumé:
Designers today are striving to transform our relationship with the natural world. Although humans are intrinsically linked to nature, our actions have frayed this relationship, forcing designers to think more intentionally and to consider the impact of every design decision, from an artifact's manufacture and use to its obsolescence. As a result, designers are aligning with biologists, engineers, agriculturists, environmentalists and many other specialists to design a more harmonious and regenerative future. Based on these new partnerships, designers are asking different questions and anticipating future challenges, which not only change the design process, but also what design means.

Résumé:
ette paraphrase du fameux Ceci n’est pas une pipe de Magritte (1928) pose la question du rapport entre un objet – en l’occurence, une bouteille –, son statut et sa représentation. Le récipient vu par le mudac et celui de la collection du MVVV semblent de natures différentes. Pourtant, les deux sont le résultat de procédures culturelles légitimes, qui leur assurent un statut à part en tant qu’objets de collection. Leurs formes communiquent aussi sur d’autres plans : matériaux (qualités de verre, bois), aspect pratique (utilité, obsolescence, détournement), usage (traces, poussières, brillance). L’ouvrage met en valeur une soixantaine de pièces rassemblées par les deux institutions.

A profound social change can be observed in the areas of mobility, work, and trade, as well as in the practice of faith, especially in cities. As a result, certain building typologies such as petrol stations, offices, shopping centers, cinemas, and churches are being used less, thus becoming increasingly obsolete and contributing to the obsolescence of the city.

Résumé:
A profound social change can be observed in the areas of mobility, work, and trade, as well as in the practice of faith, especially in cities. As a result, certain building typologies such as petrol stations, offices, shopping centers, cinemas, and churches are being used less, thus becoming increasingly obsolete and contributing to the obsolescence of the city. Three strategies must be considered for the efficient transformation of these structures: the conversion of existing architecture and the preservation of the gray energy they embody; the maximization of land use; and the strengthening of ecological functions to improve the urban microclimate and the quality of living space.

Résumé:
The high-tech architecture of the 1970s–1990s is typically characterized by the use and exhibition of advanced technologies. In terms of appearance, these buildings often have innovative façades, supporting structures accentuated in color, and expressively displayed technology systems. Unfortunately, however, the rapid obsolescence of technology has often led to the complete replacement of the very systems that defined the architectural form. In 2023, an international conference at ETH Zurich in collaboration with Bauhaus-Universität Weimar explored the question of how best to deal with the structural legacy of technologically innovative architecture. This book summarizes the results and provides an overview of the current state of research.

Résumé:
Le paradoxe est frappant : alors que le pouvoir d’achat culmine en tête des préoccupations de nos contemporains, nous consommons beaucoup trop au regard de nos besoins réels et des limites planétaires. Samuel Sauvage décrypte les rouages de cette addiction généralisée et de son corollaire, la production de masse. Une spirale implacable qu’il analyse à travers les mécanismes du « Bémol » : Besoins artificiels, Extension des marchés, Marchandisation de la société, Obsolescence programmée et "Low cost." Pour sortir de cette spirale, la voie de l’action individuelle – la fameuse « consommation responsable » – doit être repensée et surtout intégrée à une démarche collective et systémique pour mettre un terme à la surconsommation. Face au Bémol, l’auteur appelle à un « Dièse » résolument politique : Désarmer la publicité, Impulser un nouvel imaginaire, Encadrer la production, Soutenir les alternatives, Embarquer les acteurs.

Résumé:
In 1906, America commenced a major railroad modernization project, driven by massive industrial era investment and development. A lasting symbol of this time in history remains today: the imposing coaling towers that pepper the country and which once held the coal that powered steam locomotives. Over the course of five years and 20,000 miles, photographer Jeff Brouws documented these towers. "Silent Monoliths" tells their story. The towers, built of concrete, a modern material with historical roots traceable to the Roman aqueducts, were constructed to replace aging (and less fire-retardant and less efficient) wooden coaling wharves and chutes. As the railroads transitioned from steam to diesel in the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s, most of these coaling towers slipped into obsolescence—some demolished, others "retired-in-place" and left standing.

Résumé:
In a world propelled by swift technological progress and perpetual obsolescence, women frequently find themselves adapting and altering their daily experiences in order to remain functional. In the 21st century, as technology purports to comprehensively assess and address women’s conditions and physical discomfort, ''Cycles, the Sacred and the Doomed'' delves deeply into the realm of female health technologies, revealing a space where science, holistic methods and mythology converge. This book challenges the idea of combining ancient wisdom with modern innovation and takes readers on a multidisciplinary journey to explore the intricacies of women’s health. What roles can digital tools and devices play in promoting female health? How can the use of digital tools and devices be beneficial for the promotion of female well-being? How might digital tools and devices be used to support and improve these systems?
