Résumé:
"The World: Who Wants It?" proposes a concrete plan, albeit satirical, for re-establishing world peace. Set in the near present, the $100 billion that has been pledged by the United States to address the world's wrongs is used to advocate consumptive restraint and to seek new American Values, thus lessening the fury of the Third World against America's apparent wastage, misuse of resources, vice, and militaristic bombast. In this vision of a new world order, International policy largely focuses on the rebuilding of the city of Jerusalem so as to accommodate all the hope and aspirations of the three Abrahamic faiths, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. The starting point for Ben Nicholson's restructuring of the world is that what was remarkable about the World Trade Center is that its given name purported to suggest that the building was the center of world trade. When the towers were removed they took along with them a myriad of links and responsibilities that course throughout the globe, touching every aspect of life. It is ultimately immaterial what the shape and size of the rebuilt World Trade Center will be, unless the whole world is simultaneously rethought and restructured along with the reconstruction. What would the new world order be?

Résumé:
The all-out war in Ukraine, started by the Russian Federation in 2022 has disproportionally affected housing and residential infrastructure. The destruction is so targeted, and the damage so significant that it has disfigured entire neighborhoods and erased entire cities. With the scale of damage and loss in mind, and the future wide-ranging reconstruction that will inevitably take place after the war, this study examines the history and typologies of mass housing in Ukraine. It does so in order to evaluate what is lost, explain the diversity of modes of urban living that exist in Ukrainian cities, and finally, reconsider the narrative of how Ukrainian housing came about. The study covers the period of the last 100 years: the time of the most dramatic expansion and change in character of Ukrainian cities. It begins with the experimental buildings constructed in the Soviet Central and Eastern Ukraine and Polish Western Ukraine in the 1920s and 1930s, continues by looking at type projects from the Stalin era, as well as the serial apartment blocks built during the reigns of Khrushchev and Brezhnev and in the late USSR. Finally, it showcases individually designed, yet also typical residential buildings from the turbo-capitalist period of the 1990s and 2000s.

Had they been photographers, they would have been compelled to compose with reality. Receptive to the variations of Time, Serge has not drawn on a memory of Beirut, – no pictures of 'old stones' – but homed in on the realities of a changing city. [...] There was the Beirut of childhood dreams inside bomb shelters, then the city he fled due to the fighting, then finally the building sites of reconstruction. The discovery of his city would go on to establish his need to write with the light and to triumph over darkness. In his animated images, a fraction of a second signifies timelessness, and the image can no longer be conceived of without its author, a fleeting shadow or incarnate presence. Serge calls on us to follow him in these architectures of light, and to pass through the mirror of appearances. The history of Beirut calls for constant resurrection. The Beirut of Serge Najjar is the book of time dreamt, reinvented and then accomplished, the book of a captured time.'' - Ferrante Ferranti

Résumé:
The city of Homs, like so many places in Syria, has suffered mass destruction since the war began in 2011. So far, the architectural response to the crisis has focused on ''cultural heritage'', ancient architecture, and the external displacement of refugees, often neglecting the everyday lives of Syrians and the buildings that make up their homes and communities. In ''Domicide'', Ammar Azzouz uses the notion of the 'home' to address the destruction in cities like Homs, the displacement of Syrian people both externally and internally, and to explore how cities can be rebuilt without causing further damage to the communities that live there. Drawing on interviews with those working in the built environment professions, both inside and outside of Syria, but also Syrians from other backgrounds who have become architects in their own way as they were forced to repair and rebuild their homes by themselves, Domicide offers fresh insight into the role of the architect during time of war, and explores how the future reconstruction of cities should mirror the wants and needs, the traditions and ways of living, of local communities. Focusing on Homs but offering a blueprint for other urban areas of conflict across Syria and the wider world, the book is essential reading for researchers in architecture, urban planning, heritage studies and conflict studies.

A la "Cité radieuse" des années 1930 succède, au milieu du siècle, une nouvelle utopie la "Mégastructure". Hybride colossal traversant des territoires sans frontières, elle règle du même élan, et l’architecture, et l’urbanisme, et les infrastructures. Mais l’engouement pour ces grandes machines sensées résoudre les problèmes à l’échelle planétaire s’émousse durant les sixties. La "Mégastructure" cède le pas à l’"Architecture radicale", ce faisant on assiste au basculement d’une approche de l’architecture dont les références sont le besoin et la construction à une autre dont les références sont l’immédiateté et la consommation, les objets mobiles et le plaisir du corps. Cette transformation correspond au passage d’une architecture conçue en terme de progrès social et de bonheur humain, à une architecture de la révélation du monde existant. Première monographie exhaustive sur la période, Superarchitecture est abondamment illustrée à l’aide d’une iconographie originale issue des archives des Smithson, d’Hollein, de Fuller, Friedman, Archigram, Price, Archizoom, Superstudio, etc. De l’utopie critique qui se dégage des projets de ces acteurs et de la puissance évocatrice de leurs dessins, les architectes contemporains comme Koolhaas, Tschumi ou MRDV se sont fortement inspirés pour construire leur univers conceptuel.

Résumé:
Surrealism in its late phase often abandoned neutral exhibition spaces in favor of environments that embodied subjective ideologies. These exhibitions offered startled viewers an early version of installation art before the form existed as such. In Displaying the Marvelous, Lewis Kachur explores this development by analyzing three elaborate Surrealist installations created between 1938 and 1942. The first two, the "Exposition Internationale du Surréalisme" (1938) and the "Dream of Venus" at the New York World's Fair (1939), dealt with the fetishization of the female body. The third, "First Papers of Surrealism" (1942), focused not on the figure but on the entire expanse of the exhibition space, thus contributing to the development of nonfigurative art in New York. Kachur presents a full visual and verbal reconstruction of each of the exhibitions, evoking the sequence that the contemporary viewer would have encountered. The book considers Marcel Duchamp and Salvador Dalí, two artists who are not usually compared, within a common framework. Duchamp specialized in frustrating the spectator, using his ironic wit to call into question the definition of the work of art. Dalí was a master at disorienting the senses by establishing and then undermining everyday spatial and object properties. The Surrealist challenge, as voiced by André Breton, was to evoke the marvelous. Duchamp and Dalí extended that challenge to the physical and commercial realm of the exhibition installation.

Résumé:
After the success of the recent touring exhibition "My Complement, My Enemy, My Oppressor, My Love", Kara Walker's silhouetted cut-out figures are a now-familiar but still pungent presence in contemporary art, reenacting uncomfortable, often violent episodes in American race relations and reprising, in their formal simplicity, the ways in which marginalized identities are reduced and distorted into readily legible, caricatured forms. Walker's art continues, in other words, to pose awkward questions straightforwardly. Her imagery derives from the visual language of the antebellum South and the tradition of the minstrel show, which she directs to more disquieting ends. Where her source material parodied African-American culture with a terrifyingly casual jocularity - permitting white Americans to vicariously transgress their own taboos by depicting social chaos and unbridled sexuality - Walker applies that jocularity to her depictions of violence against African-Americans, lending them a hollow, almost slapstick character that is very much at odds with their original function. This latest book features work from a new series that addresses, among other themes, the atrocities committed against former slaves after the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 and the Reconstruction program implemented by Congress between 1866 and 1877. These narratives are elaborated into or against geometric scenarios more abstract and compacted than previous sequences by Walker, and with a more extensive use of color.

Résumé:
15 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and six years after the end of the war in Kosovo, Eastern Europeans still have astoundingly little understanding of the everyday life of their neighbors. Leap into the City counters this sad reality with intelligence from artists, theoreticians, journalists and other cultural actors, all of whom start from the conviction that art and culture form the vital center of a society. In essays and reportage, in literary texts and artistic contributions, they take positions on current issues, pose new questions, and so portray a subjective tableau of their cities, the cultural scenes, and the public realms.~Seven cities are presented in as many chapters. Each begins with a specific artistic work, and each concludes with an essay whose theme points beyond the local context. How are the new elites facing up to the wars of the recent past and their consequences? Who is bringing the Communist era to the museum? How is the European Union securing its external borders, and who is the Protectorate in the former Yugoslavia actually protecting? The publication provides insights into a European present that is determined by numerous factors and yet has at least three things in common: a Socialist past, the experience of radical social reconstruction and the task of establishing a democratic political culture.

The book itself is the result of a year-long investigation on the nature of sacred space and its manifestation developed in the AA’s Diploma Unit 14. It consists of design proposals that range from a multi-faith school in Strasbourg to the reconstruction of a festival hall in the city of Xian, China; from a Jesuit monastery in Detroit to a women’s Islamic centre in Paris. Each proposal is introduced by critical texts that analyse the political and ideological meaning of religious architecture. The book is complemented by essays by Pier Vittorio Aureli, Maria Sheherazade Giudici and Hamed Khosravi that focus on the relationship between forms of worship and architecture, and argue that within sacred space form must follow function – in other words, architectural space must adhere to the rituals through which the sacred is enacted, and that the meaning of sacred space goes far beyond the stereotypes of contemplation and spirituality, and instead aligns with the political and social ethos of the city.
