Résumé:
In this publication, Andrew Witt examines the visual, methodological, and cultural intersections between architecture and mathematics. The linkages Witt explores involve not the mystic transcendence of numbers invoked throughout architectural history, but rather architecture’s encounters with a range of calculational systems—techniques that architects inventively retooled for design. Witt offers a catalog of mid-twentieth-century practices of mathematical drawing and calculation in design that preceded and anticipated digitization as well as an account of the formal compendia that became a cultural currency shared between modern mathematicians and modern architects.

Résumé:
Plus que jamais, l'architecture a besoin de provocation, d'une nouvelle voie au-delà de la notion traditionnelle selon laquelle les bâtiments doivent servir de vaisseaux ou de symboles de quelque chose d'extérieur à eux-mêmes. 'Architecture Non-Référentielle' n'est rien de moins qu'un manifeste pour une nouvelle architecture. Il réunit deux penseurs de premier plan, l'architecte Valerio Olgiati et le théoricien Markus Breitschmid, qui se sont penchés sur ce problème depuis leur première rencontre en 2005. Dans un monde qui rejette de plus en plus les idéologies, quelles qu'elles soient, Olgiati et Breitschmid proposent une approche radicale et nouvelle, libérée des idéologies rigides. Les bâtiments non référentiels, soutiennent-ils, sont des entités qui ont elles-mêmes un sens en dehors d'un vocabulaire de symboles et d'images fixes et de leurs connotations historiques. Depuis plus d'une décennie, la réflexion d'Olgiati et Breitschmid les a placés à l'avant-garde de la théorie architecturale.

Résumé:
This volume addresses the varied perceptions of Canada’s natural terrain, framing the discussion in the context of landscapes designed by Canadian landscape architects. This edited collection draws on contemporary works to theorize a distinct approach practiced by Canadian landscape architects from across the country. The essays – authored by Canadian scholars and practitioners, some of whom are Indigenous or have worked closely with Indigenous communities – are united by the argument that Canadian landscape architecture is intrinsically linked to the innate qualities of the surrounding terrain. Beautifully illustrated, this publication aims to capture distinct regional qualities that are rooted in the broader context of the Canadian landscape.

Résumé:
This is the first book devoted to the Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum and her multifaceted architectural oeuvre. Tabassum’s exploratory approach makes her architectural practice one of the outstanding contemporary positions internationally. Her diverse oeuvre spans from governmental projects to housing and has brought her numerous honors and accolades in the international field of architecture. The selection of her architecture in this book ranges from early projects in the city of Dhaka shortly after completing her studies at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) to recent mobile modular structures called Khudi Bari. Tabassum is establishing the latter for the people affected by displacement in various geographically and climatically challenged locations—both in the Ganges Delta and in the Rohingya refugee camp at Cox’s Bazar on the border to Myanmar, which is currently the largest refugee camp in the world.

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.

Résumé:
Un an avant le Summer of Love, la revue Progressive Architecture publie un dossier brûlant : le « LSD : un outil de conception ? » Mais comment le LSD pourrait-il le devenir, et surtout : pourquoi ? Auteure de Architecture or Techno-Utopia : Politics after Modernism (MIT Press, 2007), Felicity Scott y répond d'abord à travers la figure tutélaire de Buckminster Fuller, de sa « découverte » de l'acide lysergique et de l'adaptation de ses dômes géodésiques en zomes psychédéliques. Or, comme Drop City, les road trips des Merry Pranksters et d'USCO ajoutent à la prairie et à la forêt cybernétiques chères à Richard Brautigan une « vision acide », intermédia et stroboscopiquement amplifiée. Mais, s'agissait-il vraiment d'un Grand Pas pour le Village Global ou le Vaisseau spatial Terre ? Felicity D. Scott est professeure-adjointe à la Graduate School of Architecture de Columbia University.

Résumé:
This book argues, boredom shares an intimate relationship with architecture-one that has been seldom explored in architectural history and theory. Christian Parreno investigates that relationship, showing how an understanding of boredom affords us a new way of looking at and understanding the modern experience. The author reconstructs a series of episodes in architectural history, from the 19th century to the present, to survey how boredom became a normalized component of the everyday, how it infiltrated into the production and reception of architecture, and how it serves to diagnose moments of crisis in the continuous transformations of the built environment. Erudite and innovative, the work moves deftly from architectural theory and philosophy to literature and psychology to make its case.
