Résumé:
Focusing on Los Angeles, this book looks at urban transformation through the architecture and land development of large-scale residential projects. The author demonstrates the inherent instability of very large sites. Cuff explores five cases that span the period from the 1930s, when federal support for slum clearance and public housing caused convulsions near downtown, to a huge 1990s mixed-use development on one of Los Angeles' last remaining wetlands. The story takes us from the refined modernist architecture of Richard Neutra to the self-conscious populism of the New Urbanism. The cases illuminate the relationship of housing architecture to issues of race, class, urban design, geography, and political ideology.

Résumé:
The house of stone is the kind of project that happens only rarely : a house built to the highest standards of craftsmanship with the full support of the client, who acted as a patron of architecture in almost a Renaissance sense. This publication documents in full its making. It covers the initial phase of the project, the invited competition between Meili + Peter and Peter Zumthor, and contains a detailed description of the concepts underlying the design. A particular focus is the relation between the structural and the technical aspects of the project, which is described through engineering and working drawings as well as photographs of the house under construction.

It describes the technologies that keep the city functioning, as well as the people who support them-the pilots that bring the ships in over the Narrows sandbar, the sandhogs who are currently digging the third water tunnel under Manhattan, the television engineer who scales the Empire State Building's antenna for routine maintenance, the electrical wizards who maintain the century-old system that delivers power to subways.

Résumé:
Morgan intersperses her observations with excerpts from interviews and transcripts of freestyle lyrics. Providing a thorough linguistic interpretation of the music, she teases out the cultural antecedents and ideologies embedded in the language, emphases, and wordplay. She discusses the artistic skills and cultural knowledge MCs must acquire to rock the mic, the socialization of hiphop culture’s core and long-term members, and the persistent focus on skills, competition, and evaluation. She brings attention to adults who provided material and moral support to sustain underground hiphop, identifies the ways that women choose to participate in Project Blowed, and vividly renders the dynamics of the workshop’s famous lyrical battles.

"City of Segregation" documents one hundred years of struggle against the enforced separation of racial groups through property markets, constructions of community, and the growth of neoliberalism. This movement history covers the decades of work to end legal support for segregation in 1948; the 1960s Civil Rights movement and CORE’s efforts to integrate LA’s white suburbs; and the 2006 victory preserving 10,000 downtown residential hotel units from gentrification enfolded within ongoing resistance to the criminalization and displacement of the homeless.

Résumé:
L'exposition d'œuvres d'art est caractérisée par son aspect éphémère, elle finit toujours par disparaître pour ne rester dans la mémoire qu'à travers les traces que sont les catalogues et les archives. Parmi ces archives les vues d'expositions jouent un rôle à la fois singulier, transparent et déterminant. Photographie et Exposition sont étroitement liées, toutes deux consistent à « montrer » et surtout à « mettre en lumière». Cet ouvrage fait le point sur le nouveau statut des photographies de vues d’exposition : fonction documentaire complexe, entre archive et support de représentation, elles n’ont pas qu’une valeur testimoniale, mais s’inscrivent aussi dans le contexte postmoderne comme des outils artistiques et curatoriaux.

Résumé:
Dans les années précédant la Première Guerre mondiale, les conflits sociaux se multiplient dans toute la France, et dans la plupart des secteurs d’activité. À une époque où les photographies de presse sont rares et de qualité médiocre, c’est sur ce support, média à part entière, qu’ont été fixés les moments forts de ces révoltes urbaines ou rurales : cortèges, barricades, charges de dragons, machines sabotées, demeures patronales incendiées, mais aussi soupes communistes, fêtes et meetings. Mettant en regard récits et images, ce livre nous plonge au cœur de ces événements et nous fait découvrir le métier et la vie des femmes et des hommes qui en furent les valeureux protagonistes.

Résumé:
This authoritative book offers contributions from leading practitioners and scholars presenting an assessment of the current state of conservation in the UK. In addition to tracing the developments in conservation over the past fifty years it raises concerns about the ambivalence within government towards heritage protection. It considers the need for a clear understanding of the value of architectural heritage; the importance of training; adequate funding for maintenance, and support at a local and community level. It also discusses the role of the amenity societies and provides a useful comparison of the national and regulation driven process operating in the UK with the US local and incentive driven approach.
