Résumé:
In this issue of Architectural Design the guest editors are drawn, like the content, from contrasting tastes and generations. Charles Jencks, the definer of Post-Modernism for thirty years, discusses some issues that have re-emerged today, while the young group of British architects, FAT, argues for a particular version of RPM. An interview between Rem Koohaas and Charles Jencks discusses the influence of Post-Modernism while investigations of street art, graffiti and the 1980 Venice Biennale show that communication is at the heart of this radical strain of architecture.

Plus qu’une histoire du rap à proprement parler, Can’t Stop Won’t Stop (d’après la devise du fameux gang des Crips) est avant tout celle d’une génération et de ses combats pour être reconnue dans un contexte politico-social qui aurait voulu la réduire au silence et à l’invisibilité.

Résumé:
Plus qu’une histoire du rap à proprement parler, Can’t Stop Won’t Stop (d’après la devise du fameux gang des Crips) est avant tout celle d’une génération et de ses combats pour être reconnue dans un contexte politico-social qui aurait voulu la réduire au silence et à l’invisibilité. Jeff Chang examine à la loupe, fort de centaines d’entretiens et de recherches minutieuses, les quatre phénomènes principaux qui fondent son expression : les MC’s (Masters of Ceremony), les DJ’s, la breakdance et l’art du graffiti. Traduit de l'anglais par Héloïse Esquié.

His portrait of the citys back streets and dilapidated spaces is rough, full of refuse and graffiti, and almost completely devoid of human presence.

Résumé:
Photographer Gerry Badger only brought out his camera on overcast days in Berlin between 2007 and 2011. His portrait of the citys back streets and dilapidated spaces is rough, full of refuse and graffiti, and almost completely devoid of human presence. This series of images depicts the forgotten corners of a living city, full of history; a fact that has seemingly been banished outside the fringes of the frame. What is left is emptiness, broken architecture, neglected parks, vacant lots, discarded things all fading under a metallic, unfeeling sky.

Résumé:
Danish artist Tal R creates thickly layered paintings in which solid forms and bright colours evoke associations with the world of child's play. Tal R has been described as a "painter's painter" due to the ease and exuberance of his approach to the medium. In his work the artist establishes vivid, expressive settings within a pictorial framework. The format refers to the layout of the screen of early 80s video games. Tal R's paintings suggest a cross between comic books, graffiti and wild children's doodles. His images subtly transform a picture book naiveté into a menacingly archaic and seemingly violent world.

Lorsque Reala publie la LL Biff en 2000, le specimen utilise la culture graffiti et ses modes de mise en circulation, proposant une double référence : « Medium is the message », « Style is the message ». La citation chez Lineto est une forme qui permet de diffuser le catalogue typographique en empruntant à divers champs culturels : « Ignorance of your own culture is not considered cool ! ».

Résumé:
This special issue empowers and encourages the reader to choose paths, as if walking through the city, an intellectual dérive. Rather than presenting a book of pictures, its strategy provides a basic, research-driven bibliography to assist the further exploration of ideas. Opening with an introduction by Darko Radovic, it goes on to closely examine the multifaceted Tokyo metropolis from an array of perspectives and themes. These include shared housing, public bathhouses, pseudo-public space, urban spectacle, infills and alleyways, graffiti and street art, stacking historical times, hidden poverty, and more. Radovic, Kengo Kuma, and Hidenobu Jinnai discuss the city’s urban DNA.

Résumé:
Ari Marcopoulos is an Amsterdam-born photographer and filmmaker who often situates himself in the lives of people living on the edge. He shot this series during one February afternoon in Exarcheia, a neighbourhood in central Athens which is famously known as home to Greek anarchists. Through 352 colourful pictures of graffiti and crumbling concrete walls, a coherent urban portrait comes to light, as if Marcopoulos was scanning the area through his camera lens. The entire series remains unedited in the layout of the book, presenting an accurate reflection of a district that still preserves the memory of decades of resistance to state repression.

Résumé:
Fifty years ago, in 1968, barricades were erected in the streets of Paris for the first time since the Paris Commune of nearly one hundred years before. The events of May 1968 began with student protests against the Vietnam War and American imperialism, expanded to rebellion over student living conditions and resistance to capitalist consumerism. An uprising at the Sorbonne was followed by wildcat strikes across France, uniting students and workers and bringing the country's economy to a halt. There have been many accounts of these events. This book tells the story in a different way, through the graffiti inscribed by protestors as they protested.

Résumé:
Over the last ten years, the ancient city of Hangzhou, China, has tripled in size and added over a million people to its population. Learning from Hangzhou is an extended photoessay that situates Hangzhou within the physically and culturally transformative pressures of China's unbridled economic expansion. Between 2003 and 2008, more than 3,000 images of Hangzhou were taken, and then sorted for recurrent subject matter. This resulting condensed portrait catalogues such themes as the ubiquity of demolition and construction in Hangzhou, its architectural eclecticism, graffiti, advertising and the tenuous relationship between architecture and signage. This photo essay is accompanied by texts that explicate Hangzhou's emblematic role in China's larger transformations.

Résumé:
A part of the early 1990s art and graffiti boom associated with San Francisco's Mission School ) and with the Beautiful Loser generation, McGee synthesizes a wide range of resources, including the Mexican muralists, anonymous street art and San Francisco Beat poetry, all of which are notably characterized by a sense of public address that McGee never neglects to convey in his own work. His paintings, drawings and installations spill over with graphic energy and political anger, and direct exhortations to his audience to respond to the life around them. This hardcover artist's book takes the form of a visual collage, incorporating photographs, drawings, paintings and documentation of past and present installations.
