Since Osaka World Expo ’70 highlighted contemporary forms, Japan has been a key player in global architecture. Tadao Ando's geometry put Japanese building on the map, bridging East and West.

Résumé:
Since Osaka World Expo ’70 highlighted contemporary forms, Japan has been a key player in global architecture. Tadao Ando's geometry put Japanese building on the map, bridging East and West. After his concrete buildings, figures like Kengo Kuma, Shigeru Ban, and Kazuyo Sejima pioneered a more sustainable approach. Younger generations have taken new directions, in harmony with nature, traditional building, and an endless search for forms. Presenting the latest in Japanese building, this book links this unique creativity to Japan's high population density, modern economy, long history, and continual disasters in the form of earthquakes. Accepting ambiguity, constant change, and catastrophe is a key to understanding how Japanese architecture differs from that of Europe or America.

Résumé:
Carlos Moreno, chercheur et expert en urbanisme, est le créateur du concept de la « ville du quart d'heure », reconnu mondialement. Il propose une ville polycentrique où les six fonctions sociales essentielles - habiter, travailler, s'approvisionner, se soigner, s'éduquer, s'épanouir - sont accessibles en courte distance. En initiant un débat global, il analyse la ville comme un laboratoire complexe et dynamique, concentrant la majorité de la population mondiale et les grands enjeux de développement - environnementaux, culturels, technologiques, et économiques. Pris en tenaille par les défis du siècle, les territoires urbains doivent changer de paradigme de toute urgence.. Carlos Moreno explore les stratégies pour un bien-vivre urbain, définissant les enjeux des mutations accélérées par l'urbanisation.

Résumé:
Photographer and master printer Brian Young first arrived in New York City in 1984. He witnessed all the well-known ills of ‘70s and early ‘80s New York, finding the city slowly, haltingly recovering from an economic depression. Industry and manufacturing jobs had left the city, and the population continued to drain out to the suburbs. The “crack epidemic” was on the front pages and on the streets. Abandoned shells of burnt-out cars littered the roads and muggings were simply a fact of daily life. Young found his camera increasingly drawn to the subway system--one of the great social levelers of life in New York City and, increasingly, the canvas for an explosive profusion of graffiti.

Résumé:
In less than 250 years Sydney has evolved from fledgling colonial outpost to thriving global city. But behind the perfect postcard images, it is a city that struggles with its own success. This is the point of departure for renowned Sydney architect Ed Lippmann, a first-hand witness to the problems that have emerged from the city’s lack of planning who offers perspectives on how such issues might be avoided in the future. ‘Sydney XXXL’ digs deeply into the city’s history, charting the financial and political interests that shaped its development and identifying the key decisions that need to be made to accommodate future population growth in a more liveable, sustainable city.

Parmi les sujets dont peuvent naître quelques graves préoccupations, il en est un qui figure doute tout en haut de la liste : la mort.

Résumé:
Parmi les sujets dont peuvent naître quelques graves préoccupations, il en est un qui figure doute tout en haut de la liste : la mort. Depuis l'antiquité et ce qu'il nous en est parvenu (pyramides égyptiennes, fresques et tombeaux ornés), le rite funéraire a permis la construction d'édifices, d'écritures et d'objets rituels, qui ont transcendé la mémoire des disparus. Aujourd'hui en Occident, la mort semble revêtir une allure plus... discrète. Au Mexique, en revanche, elle est fêtée chaque année, propice à des défilés et à des représentations fantaisistes. Avec l'accroissement de la population, l'urbanisation galopante, la vie sur les réseaux sociaux, les rituels funéraires ont, eux aussi, évolué. Le design, l'illustration et la typographie nous en livrent un témoignage troublant.

Résumé:
Africa’s population and economic growth make it the world’s fastest urbanizing continent. While some might still associate Africa with rural development, the future of Africa is, in fact, very urban. This urbanization is a huge challenge in areas with fragile institutional frameworks and chronic poverty. Many migrants moving to the city end up in self-organized settlements without basic services. ''Urban Africa'' brings together authors from various academic, political, and design backgrounds: as well as case studies on new towns in Ghana, Egypt, South Africa, Angola, Morocco, Kenya etc. In this way, the book provides a critical narrative about contemporary ''Urban Africa'' and the western world’s role – if any – in the radical transformations happening today.

Résumé:
Written with an international perspective that encourages cross-cultural comparisons, leading architectural and urban historian Eric Mumford presents a comprehensive survey of urbanism and urban design since the industrial revolution. Beginning in the second half of the 19th century, technical, social, and economic developments set cities and the world’s population on a course of massive expansion. Mumford recounts how key figures in design responded to these changing circumstances with both practicable proposals and theoretical frameworks, ultimately creating what are now mainstream ideas about how urban environments should be designed, as well as creating the field called “urbanism.” He then traces the complex outcomes of approaches that emerged in European, American, and Asian cities.

Résumé:
Rethinking strategies for rural development is a global pressing challenge. To stimulate the international discussion Aedes Architecture Forum Berlin is presenting a remarkable example from rural China. Dynamic urbanization processes shape large parts of the world and China in particular. The young population migrates to the cities, whereas many elderly people and children remain in the rural areas. While in the German hinterland railway lines are shut down and the digital infrastructure is more than inadequate, the rural exodus in China is countered with new high-speed train lines and even the most remote mountain villages are being connected by broadband coverage. But also small-scale architecture creates positive future prospects for cultural, social and economic development.

Dans les décombres laissés par les tempêtes meurtrières de 2017, les habitants de Porto Rico rebâtissent leur monde et se mesurent à de puissants adversaires dans une lutte pour l’avenir : pour qui reconstruira-t-on l’île ? Pour ceux qui y vivent ou pour ceux qui veulent y faire fortune ? Après un désastre écologique comme ceux qui promettent de frapper partout et de plus en plus souvent, deux visions du monde s’affrontent : celle d’ultrariches libertariens, déterminés à transformer l’île en un paradis où ils pourraient vivre à l’abri des tumultes d’un monde dont ils ont su tirer profit, et celle d’une population déterminée à reconstruire ses communautés autrement, pour mieux vivre ensemble, et mieux vivre dans le monde.

Résumé:
Coincides with four solo exhibitions in New York, San Francisco, Minneapolis, and Berlin. Taking its name from a line in the Wallace Stevens' poem ''The Gray Room,'' Alec Soth's latest book is a lyrical exploration of the limitations of photographic representation. While these large-format color photographs are made all over the world, they aren't about any particular place or population. By a process of intimate and often extended engagement, Soth's portraits and images of his subject's surroundings involve an enquiry into the extent to which a photographic likeness can depict more than the outer surface of an individual, and perhaps even plumb the depths of something unknowable about both the sitter and the photographer.
