Résumé:
20 ans, la belle âge ? Europan ne cesse d'aller de l'avant. Ce concours d'architecture et d'urbanisme d'un genre unique marie de multiples dimensions. Européen, il s'est ouvert à de plus en plus de pays (19 en 2006); en attirant 45000 concepteurs et en présentant 15000 projets, il est devenu un espace de débat à grande échelle ; à la fois concours d'idées et de projets, il incite à l'innovation tout en cherchant la réalisation; réservé aux jeunes professionnels, il valorise l'imagination et l'enthousiasme autant que le talent ; d'abord focalisé sur le logement et l'architecture, il a étendu son champ d'étude de l'habitat à l'urbain, explorateur de thèmes inscrits dans les modes de vie contemporains, partenaire de villes en mutation. Grâce à cette richesse, Europan interroge l'urbanité européenne et sa modernité. Destiné à conter les tenants de cette aventure à un large public, en particulier les partenaires d'Europan - villes, maîtres d'ouvrages, concepteurs - cet ouvrage, coordonné par Frédérique de Gravelaine, regroupe les contributions de spécialistes : Frédéric Bonnet, Jean-Pierre Chupin, Nicole Eleb-Harlé, Amélie Flamand, François Magendie, Rafaël Magrou, Béatrice Mariolle, Frédéric Mialet, Alain Pélissier, Juliette Pommier, Didier Rebois, Jean-Louis Violeau, Henri Wacrenier, Chris Younès.

Résumé:
How might nanotechnology—the manipulation of matter at the level of atoms and molecules—change buildings and cities in the future? The authors of Barba have imagined one possible future, shaped by a miraculous nanomaterial of the same name, which can be steered and altered in real time, changing its shape and size at will. With Barba, the authors speculate, the built environment can be adapted almost immediately to every desire and every need. This volume, the latest in The Why Factory’s Future Cities series, envisions the dramatic potential of nanomaterial to change cities and architecture in the not-so-distant future, further explored in a series of interactive experiments and installations. Part speculative architecture, part science fiction, Barba follows an inhabitant of this flexible future world for a day, daring the reader to imagine life in a fully adaptable environment.

Résumé:
The election, in 1979, of a Conservative administration led by Margaret Thatcher effectively marked the end of Britain’s heroic era of social housing provision. Over the next four decades, successive governments put faith in the private sector’s capacity to build homes in the numbers Britain needs. Consistently, that faith proved unfounded. The resultant housing shortfall has sent property prices rocketing beyond the reach of younger people, and led to record levels of homelessness and rough sleeping. At a moment when Britain is finally beginning to confront the enormity of its housing crisis, ''Project Interrupted'' asks what we can learn from the experiences of a previous generation and hears from some of the most ambitious architects working in the field of housing today about the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Résumé:
"Make City" collects contributions from architects, planners, landscape designers and municipal policymakers on the crises facing contemporary cities, presenting a variety of strategies to reconfigure and reimagine urban life. The intertwined problems of continuous development and rising real estate prices are rendering cities increasingly uninhabitable for many, a situation that will continue to be exacerbated by the mounting pressure of climate change on metropolitan infrastructures. This volume proposes models of localized food production, community-centered planning and sustainable architecture design that renew and optimize existing structures in alternative models of urban economy. Developed in tandem with Berlin’s Make City festival, design proposals are displayed across over 350 colour illustrations and writings from contributors including AFF Architects, Anupama Kundoo, Michel Bouwens/P2P Foundation, Francesca Bria SESC, Tessy Britton, Bureau SLA, Marco Casagrande, Eva de Klerk, De Urbanisten, FAR frohn and Kraftwerk 1.

Résumé:
Cornelia Hahn Oberlander (1921-2021) ws among the most eminent landscape architects in the world, known for many projects in Canada and abroad. ''Genius Loci,'' meaning the protective spirit of a place, is embodied in the seven decade span of her work. Her landscape designs demonstrate her desire to create terrains that are less an interruption and more an amplification of what already exists on a site. Her training in modernist design and a desire to connect people with nature is immediately apparent in her landscapes. At a time when our relationship to the earth is of paramount importance, Oberlander’s projects reveal consistent and significant stewardship of the natural environment. Many of her designs—even those from 50 years ago—remain largely unchanged, testaments to her technical skill, research techniques, and judicious selection of flora. This bilingual book derives from an exhibition at the West Vancouver Art Museum, introduing projects by Oberlander, and presented in four sections devoted to playgrounds, social housing, public projects, and residential projects, showing photography of the places alongside her sketches, plans, and research proposals. The book includes contributions by Oberlander and the exhibition curators, Susan Herrington and Eva Matsuzaki.
