Résumé:
How does the world’s fifth largest population express itself in terms of architecture? Is there any common language when it comes to planning and construction? For the past seven decades, both Indonesian and international architects have developed new ideas in order to fulfill the demands of the country’s 250 million inhabitants, in line with economic progress. Imelda Akmal’s Architectural Guide Indonesia presents over one hundred must-visit buildings which date from the post-independence era, starting in 1945, to the present day. This book explores buildings that still embrace traditional Indonesian architectural heritage as well as those whose design is based on practical considerations, thus offering a valuable insight into the works of emerging and established architects. In total the guide features carefully selected buildings with all salient information as to their dates of construction, architects and locality by way of QR codes.

Résumé:
Never before have so many people lived in an urban environment: More than half the world's current population does, and that number is expected to rise to two-thirds by 2050. The contemporary city is the arena where all of the diverse forms of power and the far-reaching impacts of globalization must interact. This situation confronts us with issues that are more urgent than ever before: What is the contemporary city? Who and what "produces" it? Which forces steer its development? What is the potential role of the architect?This volume draws together research about the foundations of the contemporary city; discusses forces that have a bearing on its development; formulates the challenges for today's architects and urban planners; and presents strategies with which they can operate in the midst of this interplay of forces, on the basis of topical, coherent visions for the twenty-first century city.

Alors que le monde entre dans une polycrise sans précédent, l'urgence climatique doit être abordée de front. 11 brefs essais pour la justice climatique démontre que la crise du climat est celle de l'immigration, du capitalisme sauvage, des génocides. La révolution sera intersectionnelle ou ne sera pas. Des forêts sacrées aux ruelles de Montréal, en passant par l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue et par tous les champs de boue et de sable empoisonnés du pays, des voix s'élèvent et des mains se nouent. Les savoirs de différents groupes sont mis en communs, un réseau se tisse pour permettre à l'idée d'un nouveau monde de naître. Les auteurices de ce collectif se retrouvent pour parler de justice, pour haranguer la population, pour l'inviter, ardemment, à les rejoindre. Fortes d'amour et de révolte, les activistes qui signent ce livre refusent d'abandonner le monde aux mains de ceux qui le détruisent.

Résumé:
Vancouver is heralded around the world as a model for sustainable development. In "Planning on the edge," nationally and internationally renowned planning scholars, activists, and Indigenous leaders assess whether that reputation is warranted. While recognizing the many successes of the "Vancouverism" model, the contributors acknowledge that the forces of globalization and speculative property development have increased social inequality and housing insecurity since the 1980s in the city and the region. To determine the city’s prospects for overcoming these problems, they look at city planning from all angles, including planning for the Indigenous population, environmental and disaster planning, housing and migration, and transportation and water management. By looking at policies at the local, provincial, and federal levels and taking reconciliation with Indigenous peoples into account, "Planning on the edge" highlights the kinds of policies and practices needed to reorient Vancouver’s development trajectory along a more environmentally sound and equitable path.

Résumé:
Le tourisme est la première industrie mondiale, même s’il est pratiqué par seulement 3,5 % de la population…Un luxe réservé aux occidentaux qui, depuis l’avènement des congés payés, ont intégré « un devoir d’ailleurs et de loisirs ». Mais qui n’a pas senti ce malaise, dans une boutique de souvenirs ou sur une plage des Caraïbes couvertes de baigneurs blancs ? Qui n’a jamais ramené de vacances le sentiment de l’absurde ? Aujourd’hui, même les mieux intentionnés des voyageurs contribuent malgré eux à la mondophagie touristique. Et rien ne semble pouvoir arrêter cette conquête démesurée des quatre coins du monde : ni la pollution qu’elle impose, ni la disparition des spécificités culturelles qu’elle vient niveler et encore moins la conscience de l’Autre qu’elle réduit à une relation marchande. Pouvons-nous nous évader du tourisme ? Rodolphe Christin nous invite à retrouver l’essence du voyage : préférer le chemin à la destination, et « disparaître » plutôt qu’apparaître partout.

This book brings together the surviving texts of the 113 talks on art and architecture that we know of, given by the art historian Sir Nikolaus Pevsner on radio and television between 1945--1977. It includes the seven texts of the 1955 Reith Lectures in their original broadcast form, as well as lectures that Pevsner gave in German (for the BBC in London and RIAS in Berlin) and on the radio in New Zealand. These talks are important as an example of the attempt by the BBC in particular to provide intellectual programming for the mass population. The talks are important for what they reveal about changing tastes in the treatment of the arts as a broadcast topic, as well as offering a case study of the development of one particular historian's approach to a subject that was gaining ground in universities as a direct result of his popularisation of it.

Résumé:
On February 29, 1960, a catastrophic earthquake devastated the Moroccan coastal city of Agadir, erasing it almost entirely and killing a third of its population. The world was shocked, and very quickly large amounts of international aid arrived. Following an emotional speech by King Mohammed V, the reconstruction of Agadir also turned into an undertaking of national and international solidarity. A new and unprecedented process of urban construction was developed that allowed many architects—national and international—to simultaneously design the new city. The result of this joint effort was astounding. In a very short time, the new Agadir rose from the ashes. The best Moroccan and international architects experimented with novel housing typologies, which mediated between ultramodern and vernacular ways of dwelling, complemented by innovative public structures, such as schools, dispensaries, and cinemas. All of these combined into an original urban reality: a modern Afropolis.

Résumé:
The construction and design of school buildings in Germany faces major challenges. Particularly in metropolitan areas, student numbers are continuously rising and, according to all forecasts, population growth is set to continue in the coming years. This is why new school buildings, including extensions and renovations of existing school buildings, are one of the central topics of investment policy throughout Germany today. Approximately 5.5 billion euros will be spent from 2017 to 2026 on the refurbishment and/or expansion of existing schools; about 40 new school buildings will be erected. Against this backdrop, the exhibition initiated and curated by Beate Engelhorn at Aedes Architecture Forum presents 12 contemporary school buildings in Europe that are exemplary for the implementation of current educational and urban planning models. The exhibition will be introduced by a two-day conference with numerous contributions from experts from Germany and abroad.

Résumé:
What began as an academic initiative to improve the quality of life of the poor strata of the population has now become a professional “do tank” offering services that cover the entire spectrum of urban development. The celebrated Chilean architect, winner of the 2016 Pritzker Prize and Director of the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale, Alejandro Aravena (born 1967) founded Elemental in 2001 in his hometown with the goal of alleviating social deprivation directly instead of hoping for a balance of income relations. Besides building public facilities and public housing, Elemental also develops new approaches for the reorganization of resources and the potential of cities by means of projects devoted to infrastructure and transportation. This volume, first published in 2013 and now back in print, documents the social activity and history of the international architectural team and sheds light on its financing strategies, for example through participatory building.

Résumé:
Si les Gaulois et leurs prédécesseurs avaient établi des axes de communication à travers l'Europe, les Romains furent célèbres pour l'implantation systématique de réseaux routiers dont héritera le Moyen Age. Une route s'avère souvent un monument important aux yeux de la population, plus que les temples ou les théâtres. Elles traversent des territoires, sont utilisées pour la vie de tous les jours, comme elles marquent le paysage. Des constructions humaines, ce sont elles qui ont laissé le plus de mots dans la mémoire du sol et dans le souvenir des hommes. Des milliers de noms dans les campagnes se rattachent aux voies, aux auberges, aux ponts, aux gués. Suivre une voie ancienne ne correspond pas seulement à faire des kilomètres ; c'est aussi une remontée dans le temps. Les noms de lieux appartiennent à l'histoire et nous guident dans différents paysages, de l'époque gauloise à la fin du Moyen Age.
