Résumé:
Founded by Eyal Weizman at Goldsmiths College in London in 2010, the research agency Forensic Architecture has investigated dozens of incidents of state violence—military intervention, environmental destruction, border violence and police murder. Working at the intersection of architecture, law, journalism, human rights and ecology, Forensic Architecture researches conflicts and crimes around the world, using architectural tools and methods to conduct spatial and architectural analyses of particular incidents. They do not design new buildings, but like other architects, they examine and model spaces, with the aim of shedding light on events. This catalog focuses on the witnesses at the core of Forensic Architecture’s work. Featuring texts by Weizman, Christina Varvia and a roundtable discussion between members of the current team, this richly illustrated book opens a window into Forensic Architecture’s working methods and projects.

Résumé:
La désobéissance inventive, ou la nécessité de faire autrement. C'est ce que recommande Nicolas Michelin, architecte urbaniste, dans ces nouveaux textes. C'est-à-dire sortir de la routine, contourner les objectifs réglementaires incertains ou absurdes, éviter les alibis environnementaux douteux, pour échapper au carcan qui uniformise la production architecturale actuelle. Mais, Nicolas Michelin fait soudain un pas de côté. De manière inattendue, il livre quatre courtes fictions qui entraînent le lecteur dans d'étranges univers, incursions dans des mondes parallèles où l'architecture apparaît toujours en filigrane. À partir de constructions ou de paysages réels, il glisse vers des hallucinations dans des temporalités et des spatialités étrangement subverties. Puis, il mène trois conversations avec des interlocuteurs proches de son mode de pensée. Il échange avec ses deux associés sur la pratique de l'agence sur la double échelle, de l'urbanisme et de l'architecture. Il partage sa parole avec un artiste, à propos de la Renaissance, et s'interroge avec deux architectes plus jeunes sur la notion d'engagement. Au fil de ces textes, il explicite sa position d'architecte et sa vision de ce métier politique.

Résumé:
This publication is a monography on Alvar Aalto, one of the key exponents of Modernism and the International Style. He began his career in the 1920s with buildings in the Nordic Classical style, but was drawn to International Modernism by the end of the decade. Aalto's Paimio Sanatorium (1929-1933) can be counted as a masterwork of the period in the global context. In the mid-1930s, Aalto broke away from the Modernist group known as CIAM to develop his own vocabulary of form in a more complex direction and he created the free-form approach to design for which his architecture became world famous.

Résumé:
A skateboarding school in Kabul; a children's community center in south-west Chicago; project row houses in Houston; an open-air library in Salbke-Magdeburg, Germany; colorful murals in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro: what difference do civic architectural projects like these make to the daily lives of the people who use them? In Testify! The Consequences of Architecture, editor Lukas Feireiss gathers 30 examples of community-centered architectural projects from all five continents, to demonstrate as explicitly as possible how architecture can transform the quality of our lives. This is architecture that reveals unexpected possibilities for growing food in urban environments, for creating healthy and sustainable environments, nourishing social networks and establishing real estate value based on new revenue models. Each project is presented with full-color illustrations, texts that concisely analyze the project in terms of context, mission and realization, and an interview with a community member who makes regular use of, or occupies, the relevant building.

Résumé:
Londres, Dresde, Hiroshima… Avec la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la démonstration est faite dans la plus grande cruauté : l’édification urbaine, superposant siècles et générations, peut-être réduite en cendres en quelques minutes seulement. L’architecture pouvait-elle rester indifférente au choc qui affectait son objet même ? L’hypothèse cathartique avancée dans cet ouvrage fait apparaître, au contraire, comment la catastrophe aura été gérée par l’expression figurée, réduite, maîtrisable de la tragédie. Depuis la guerre froide jusqu’à l’attentat du 11 septembre, depuis le brutalisme jusqu’au déconstructivisme, s’ébauche ainsi la contre-histoire d’une architecture traumatisante à force d’être traumatisée, et jouant par là un rôle essentiel dans la société de notre temps.
