Résumé:
L'appel à contributions pour le colloque "Inside Density" organisé par NeTHCA en novembre 1999, mentionnait les questions relatives à la densité, la congestion et la mise en réseaux. L'objectif du colloque était d'explorer les enjeux théoriques du concept de densité et de critiquer l'usage naïf des indices de densité comme critères d'efficacité de la planification. Le colloque a réuni un large éventail de chercheurs renommés ou émergeants ainsi que d'architectes professionnels. Ce volume, publié sous la direction de Hilde Heynen et de David Vanderburgh, rassemble les plus intéressantes contributions de ce colloque, dans leur langue originelle française ou anglaise. Il comporte aussi bien les propos des conférenciers Pascal Amphoux et Mark Wigley, que des essais de Tom Avermaete, Dieter De Clercq, Alexander D'Hooghe, Marc Glaudemans, Leslie Jaye Kavanaugh, Bernard Kormoss, Hubert Lionnez/Roberto Zancan, Olivier Mathieu/Li Mei Tsien, Anne Mie Depuydt/Erik Van Daele, Kai Vöckler, Sarah Whiting, Paola Yacoub/Michel Lasserre . . . / The call for the "Inside Density" colloquium, organized by neTHCA in november 1999, evoked papers addressing issues of density, congestion and networking. The aim of the colloquium was to explore the theoretical underpinnings of the concept of density and to criticize the naïve use of density indexes as markers of good planning. The colloquium brought together an international range of renowned scholars, promising young researchers, and practising architects. This volume, co-edited by Hilde Heynen and David Vanderburgh, presents the best texts, some in English and some in French, that resulted from the colloquium. It contains contributions by key-note speakers Pascal Amphoux and Mark Wigley, as well as papers by Tom Avermaete, Dieter De Clercq, Alexander D'Hooghe, Marc Glaudemans, Leslie Jaye Kavanaugh, Bernard Kormoss, Hubert Lionnez/Roberto Zancan, Olivier Mathieu/Li Mei Tsien, Anne Mie Depuydt/Erik Van Daele, Kai Vöckler, Sarah Whiting, Paola Yacoub/Michel Lasserre . . .

Résumé:
November 2009 marks the 100th anniversary of the Grand Boulevard and Concourse, the Bronx’s crown jewel of urban planning, which stretches over four miles from 138th Street to the Mosholu Parkway. This famous roadway represents Art Deco and Art Moderne architecture at its grandest, including a cornucopia of apartment complexes, the Concourse Plaza Hotel, the Loews Paradise Theater, the Bronx County Courthouse, and, of course, Yankee Stadium. Modeled on the Champs Élysées in Paris and described in the 1939 WPA Guide to New York as “the Park Avenue of the middle-class,” it offered residents amenities not seen before in the city, such as private bathrooms and central heating. This publication examines the rich history of the Bronx’s most famous thoroughfare through a collection of pieces — written by historians and contemporary museum curators, and accompanied by two original texts by Alsatian-born engineer Louis Risse, who designed and oversaw the construction of the Grand Concourse — on the context that informed its planning and construction, along with a vast collection of photographs that bring this period back to life. The book also features six art projects especially commissioned for the occasion : a series of large-scale color photographs by Jeff Liao; a time line by Skowmon Hastanan; The Tree Museum, a project by Katie Holten on the green spaces along the Concourse; a documentary film by Pablo Helguera on three buildings along the Concourse, namely, Poe’s cottage, the Paradise Theater, and the Freedman Home; a project by Kabir Carter about capturing sounds from different areas along the Concourse; and a special lobby installation by Acconci Studio. Traveling the Concourse today offers a lesson in architecture, history, and sociology as you see the faces and places that call it home. It is truly New York, but more important, authentically the Bronx. You can’t experience the Bronx until you travel the Grand Boulevard and Concourse. Foreword by Daniel Libeskind.
