City planning is a concept which usually covers the wide range of events, processes and developments taking place in our cities, but individual plans and designs cannot do justice to the complex realities of the city.

Résumé:
City planning is a concept which usually covers the wide range of events, processes and developments taking place in our cities, but individual plans and designs cannot do justice to the complex realities of the city. In "Induction Cities" the author aims to take the reader beyond our traditional understanding of city design to redefine our perception of design in this context. With the assistance of computers, a dynamic mechanism will be created which generates a result corresponding to the specific conditions and requirements stipulated. By this form of "meta-design" a greater degree of freedom is obtained than the conventional design methods provide. In this publication, this new theory and process is analysed, looking at the first computer-generated architecture in the world, the underground station "lidabashi" in Tokyo.

Résumé:
Breaking with the idea that gardens are places of indulgence and escapism, these studies of ritualized practices reveal that gardens in Europe, Asia, the United States, and the Caribbean have in fact made significant contributions to cultural change. This book demonstrates methods and the striking results of garden reception studies. The first section explores how cultural changes occur, and devotes chapters to public landscapes in the Netherlands, seventeenth-century Parisian gardens, Freemason gardens in Tuscany, nineteenth-century Scottish kitchen gardens, and the public parks of Edo and modern Tokyo. The second part provides striking examples of construction of self in vernacular gardens in Guadeloupe and American Japanese-style gardens in California. Finally, the third section analyzes struggles for political change in gardens of Yuan China and modern Britain.

Résumé:
Architecte du stade olympique ou du musée Hiroshige de Tokyo et en France, de la cité des arts de Besançon, du FRAC de Marseille ou de l’étonnant conservatoire d’Aix-en-Provence, mais aussi de nombreuses maisons audacieuses en bambous ou en bois, Kengo Kuma décline le principe fondamental de l’architecture japonaise, qui unit l’homme et la nature. Il n’y a pas d’opposition entre le dedans et le dehors. Tout est affaire de gradation, de superpositions, de syntonie. À l’opposé de l’architecture occidentale pour qui la monumentalité est l’aboutissement. En huit chapitres, huit matériaux, huit réalisations emblématiques, cet architecte radical nous entraîne dans de nouvelles voies de respect de la nature. Ce livre est à la fois, un livre d’histoire subjective de l’architecture, un manuel d’application pratique et le portrait d’un architecte épris de nature.

Résumé:
"Unwired" combines two concurrent projects by Dutch photographer Jacqueline Hassink (born 1966), both of which address our increasingly digitally connected world. In "Unwired Landscapes", she seeks out those few remaining places where it is still impossible to broadcast a network: remote areas like the Japanese island of Yakushima, the Norwegian group of islands Svalbard known as Spitsbergen or the uninhabitable volcanic desert of Iceland, or artificially created dead zones in urban spaces, such as a Digital Detox Hotel in Baden Baden. Her second project, "iPortrait", seems to be the exact opposite of her first: it portrays people immersed in their smartphones in the subways of big cities such as New York, Paris, London, Moscow, Shanghai, Seoul and Tokyo. Here, she reveals the other side of digital networking, showing how it intensifies alienation between people.

Résumé:
With "Bloom", Thomas Flechtner continues to go his own way as an artist. In his internationally acclaimed debut publication "Snow", he took viewers by surprise with a compelling visual metaphysics of snow as the exploration of a psychological state. After exhibitions in London, New York, Bilbao, and Tokyo, Flechtner is now free to pursue a new passion, the unbridled color and movement of organic nature, which he examines with lyrical lightness and tremendous precision in these densely atmospheric studies of plants. As a photographer, Flechtner goes in search of the essence of nature, abandoning the ostensible safety of distance and allowing proximity and for the first time also movement. In "Bloom", the viewer is invited to take in a feast of light and color and to enter a space beyond nature’s supposed laws.

La Maison Folie de Mons, à l’instar du Palais de Tokyo, de l’Espace Lu à Nantes ou encore de la Condition publique à Roubaix, n’a pas le souci de paraître, mais seulement celui d’être au plus près de ceux qui l’habitent, comme le dit Yves Vasseur, le directeur du Théâtre du Manège. Invité à redéfinir simplement les zones d’accueil et d’accès de la salle de théâtre des Arbalestriers dans l’esprit des Maisons Folie qui venaient de voir le jour à Lille en 2004, Matador est parvenu à réaffecter l’ensemble du domaine exploitable. Si la salle de théâtre est restée dans son état initial, Matador, pratiquant une architecture de friche, revendique pleinement l’originalité des concepts d’Espace des possibles et de Margin’halle – ces deux lieux formant, avec la cour centrale, la Maison Folie de Mons

Résumé:
The first exhibition catalog for emerging photographer/filmmaker Sebastian Stumpf explores the gaps in public space and the accessibility of pictorial space in various media. The video project documented in this catalog is part of a group called Leaving White Spaces, which are produced in different art institutions and then projected at the site of their production. There are also 28 photographs of Stumpf literally standing on doors and walls between the gaps of buildings in Tokyo. While there are clear signs of life, the only figure inhabiting these architectural spaces is Stumpf's. The Leipzig-based artist, a student of renowned photographer Timm Rautert, is included in the upcoming 2010 Berlin Biennale. His photographs flash us back and forth between our lived experiences of cities and the possibilities available in the gaps.

Résumé:
L'architecture du XXe siècle aura révolutionné les milieux urbains. A travers le monde, des villes se sont transformées en mégapoles dépassant toutes les dimensions connues, alors que d'autres se réduisent et se vident. Que ce soit dans le foisonnement sauvage de Tokyo ou dans la rigueur haussmannienne de Paris, chaque rue, chaque bâtiment, chaque espace vert n'existe que comme partie d'un ensemble. Urbanisme & architecture le XXe siècle visite les métropoles du monde et retrace leur évolution dans une histoire ponctuée de soubresauts parfois dramatiques. Depuis Gropius, Le Corbusier et Wright jusqu'à Piano, Ando et Coop HimmelB(I)au, les architectes et urbanistes les plus marquants de l'époque sont présentés avec leurs travaux. Cet ouvrage met en évidence la manière avec laquelle l'urbanisme et l'architecture participent à une redéfinition constante de la ville.

Résumé:
Britain and the USA carried out a massive bombing offensive against the cities of Germany and Japan in the course of the Second World War, which ended with the destruction of Hamburg, Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Was the bombing of civilian targets justified by the necessities of war? Or was it, in fact, a crime against humanity? How should the descendants of the Allies who won the victory in that war, reply to the moral challenge of the descendants of those whose cities were targeted? The author looks at the stands people took, both for and against, and asks what the lessons are that we can learn for today about how people should behave in a world of tension and moral confusion, of terrorism and fragile democracies.
