Résumé:
The Autopoiesis of Architecture , which presents the topic as a discipline with its own unique logic. Architecture's conception of itself is addressed as well as its development within wider contemporary society.The first of two volumes that together present a comprehensive account of architecture's autopoiesis, this book elaborates the theory of architecture's autopoeisis in 8 parts, 50 sections and 200 chapters. Each of the 50 sections poses a thesis drawing a central message from the insights articulated within the respective section. The 200 chapters are gathering and sorting the accumulated intelligence of the discipline according to the new conceptual framework adopted, in order to catalyze and elaborate the new formulations and insights that are then encapsulated in the theses.

This is the second part of a major theoretical work by Patrik Schumacher, which outlines how the discipline of architecture should be understood as its own distinct "system of communication." "Autopoeisis" comes from the Greek and means literally self-production; it was first adopted in biology in the 1970s to describe the essential characteristics of life as a circular(...)

Résumé:
This is the second part of a major theoretical work by Patrik Schumacher, which outlines how the discipline of architecture should be understood as its own distinct "system of communication." "Autopoeisis" comes from the Greek and means literally self-production; it was first adopted in biology in the 1970s to describe the essential characteristics of life as a circular self-organizing system and has since been transposed into a theory of social systems. This new approach offers architecture an arsenal of general comparative concepts. It allows architecture to be understood as a distinct discipline, which can be analyzed in elaborate detail while at the same time offering insightful comparisons with other subject areas, such as art, science and political discourse

Résumé:
This volume considers existing contexts as an opportunity to use the potential of place, as well as the creativity of inhabitants and users and the power of the social and urban fabric, to respond to needs and urgent topics. It outlines eleven actions, compelling examples from different places and design practices worldwide, which in turn are related to an array of architects, design professionals, and other specialists working in art, biology, ecology, fashion, pop culture, and philosophy. As such, it generates a broader framework of thought in order to demonstrate how makers with diverse design attitudes are responding to today’s spatial, social, environmental, and aesthetic challenges.

Résumé:
L'urbanisation des territoires de transition entre la ville et la campagne ceux de la suburbia, est oublieuse de l'épaisseur du passé, des transformations complexes des sites, aussi bien que des représentations que l'on s'en fait. La notion de sub-urbanisme, définie par l'auteur comme une " subversion de l'urbanisme ", remet profondément en question un telle attitude. Cet essai plaide pour une démarche qui appréhenderait le site comme la matrice d'un projet explorant les multiples strates spatio-temporelles du territoire : l'architecture comme instrument de la mémoire et la mémoire comme matière de l'architecture. Quatre sources alimentent la démarche : les travaux de Frances Yates sur L'Art de la mémoire, consacrés aux pratiques mnémotechniques des anciens ; la "métaphore romaine" proposée par Sigmund Freud pour évoquer le mode de conservation du passé dans la structuration de la psyché ; la démarche de l'artiste américain Robert Smithson avec son concept de non-site ; et enfin le parc de Lancy réalisé dans la banlieue de Genève par l'architecte Georges Descombes. A l'instar du sub-urbanisme qu'elle entreprend d'illustrer, cette démon tration s'aventure dans l'épaisseur narrative des lieux, et invite le lecteur-visiteur à frayer son chemin à travers de nombreuses couches de mémoire et de culture. Le mot d'ordre est extrapolation.

Résumé:
Based on a 2009 symposium at the Delft University of Technology, the fifteen essays in Architecture as a Craft present architecture as a self-contained craft discipline. Social demands upon architects are increasing, for instance that of sustainability, with strict requirements imposed before designs are even considered. The book's contributors argue that the structure and integrity of designs – their craft – must underlie projects before external influences play a role. The architect's craft is approached from three perspectives: the outlook and position of the architect, the composition of designs, and the choice of building materials, emphasising how architects can communicate and justify their craft-based choices.

Résumé:
Studying the relation of architecture to society, this book explains the manner in which the discipline of architecture adjusted itself in order to satisfy new pressures by society. Consequently, it offers an understanding of contemporary conditions and phenomena, ranging from the ubiquity of landmark buildings to the celebrity status of architects. It concerns the period spanning from 1966 to the first years of the current century – a period which saw radical change in economy, politics, and culture and a period in which architecture radically transformed, substituting the alleged dreariness of modernism with spectacle.

Résumé:
Hal Foster argues that a fusion of architecture and art is a defining feature of contemporary culture. While architects such as Zaha Hadid and Herzog and de Meuron draw on art to reanimate design, architecture has inspired fundamental transformations in painting, sculpture and film, which are also explored here. The book includes an extensive conversation with Richard Serra. At the same time Foster points to a “global style” of architecture, as practiced by Norman Foster, Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano, that is analogous to the “international style” of Le Corbusier, Gropius and Mies—a global style that, more than any art, conveys the look of modernity today, both its dreams and its delusions. In these ways Foster demonstrates that “the art-architecture complex” is a key indicator of broader social and economic trajectories and in urgent need of analysis and debate.
