Résumé:
Ever since anthropology has existed as a discipline, anthropologists have thought about architectural forms. This book provides the first overview of how anthropologists have studied architecture and the extraordinarily rich thought and data this has produced. With a focus on domestic space - that intimate context in which anthropologists traditionally work - the book explains how anthropologists think about public and private boundaries, gender, sex and the body, the materiality of architectural forms and materials, building technologies and architectural representations. Each chapter uses a broad range of case studies from around the world to examine from within anthropology what architecture 'does' - how it makes people and shapes, sustains and unravels social relations.

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.

Typical of her work is a variation in scale, programme and location, and she has completed projects in different Dutch cities, Belgium, the United Kingdom and Japan. Featured here are a church conversion in Groningen, a cemetery pavilion in Apeldoorn, housing in IJburg, a weekend house in Hakone, and several other projects. Besides the detailed essays by Kira that accompany each of these, Jo Toda also analyses her work and approach in a short text.

Résumé:
Moyen d’accessibilité inéluctable au train, la marche est inhérente à la pratique de la gare. Cet espace-seuil entre la ville et le moyen de transport est donc censé la faciliter, voire la considérer comme mode de référence. Pourtant il n’en est rien et s’y joue encore quotidiennement pour les concepteurs, les gestionnaires, et pour les usagers les mêmes enjeux qu’au XIXe siècle : compter ses pas à travers la gare, guidés par la conception experte d’un parcours que l’on sait défini par un nombre incalculable de contraintes techniques, et les traduire en temps passé, en effort engagé, en expérience sensible dont il est attendu une certaine qualité. Le piéton en tant qu’individu n’est que très peu présent dans les réflexions sur les gares ferroviaires : on parle de marche en ville et de flux en gare, mais la question de la marche en gare demeure une réalité aussi plurielle qu’inexploitée. Cet ouvrage propose alors un pas de côté. Il s’attache à comprendre, au fil de l’Histoire, quels sont les enjeux de la marche pour les Compagnies Ferroviaires et quelles sont les réponses spatiales apportées par les concepteurs. À travers l’analyse d’un certain nombre de dispositifs spatiotemporels (salles d’attente, salle des pas perdus, signalétique, escalator, atriums, dispositifs de captation, nudge...), l’ouvrage montre que l’espace-gare que nous connaissons est un lieu de sédimentation des enjeux liés à l’individu en mouvement.

Résumé:
Author Alain de Botton considers how our private homes and public edifices influence how we feel, and how we could build dwellings in which we would stand a better chance of happiness. In this look at how we shape, and are shaped by, our surroundings, Alain de Botton applies Stendhal’s motto that “Beauty is the promise of happiness” to the spaces we inhabit daily. Why should we pay attention to what architecture has to say to us? de Botton asks. de Botton traces how human needs and desires have been served by styles of architecture, from stately Classical to minimalist Modern, arguing that the stylistic choices of a society can represent both its cherished ideals and the qualities it desperately lacks. On an individual level, de Botton has deep sympathy for our need to see our selves reflected in our surroundings; he demonstrates how buildings — just like friends — can serve as guardians of our identity. Worrying about the shape of our sofa or the colour of our walls might seem self-indulgent, but de Botton considers the hopes and fears we have for our homes at a new level of depth and insight. When shopping for furniture or remodelling the kitchen, we don’t just consider functionality but also the major questions of aesthetics and the philosophy of art: What is beauty? Can beautiful surroundings make us good? Can beauty bring happiness? The buildings we find beautiful, de Botton concludes, are those that represent our ideas of a meaningful life.
