Résumé:
There is no life without water. Burtynsky’s book Water tells us the story of where water comes from, how we use it, distribute and waste it. Often using a bird’s-eye perspective, the photographer shows us its remote sources, remarkable ancient step-wells and mass bathing rituals, the transformation of desert into cities with waterfronts on each doorstep, the compromised landscapes of the American Southwest. The colour photographs in this book are poetic and at the same time highly relevant.

Résumé:
Until around 1990, Shanghai was China’s premier but sluggish industrial center. Now at the beginning of the twenty-first century, the joint impact of global forces and state power has turned Shanghai into a dynamic megacity. Shanghai’s remarkable growth in economy, infrastructure, and global presence has prompted questions about the Shanghai “miracle.” This collection places the city’s unprecedented rise in a rare comparative examination of U.S. cities, as well as with Asian megacities Singapore and Hong Kong, providing a nuanced account of how Shanghai’s politics, economy, society, and space have been transformed by macro- and micro-level forces.

Résumé:
What does it mean to examine post-communist politics through the prism of the material and semiotic transformations and modifications of surfaces? A rethinking of surfaces as dynamic and complex sites opens a path for a detailed study of their crucial role in the governing of post-communist urban space—but also of the forms of subversion that can be discerned through interventions on and with surfaces. The book explores a set of surfaces—Wall, Monument, Electricity Boxes, Memes, and Paving Brick—to investigate the kind of political engagement they enable and foreclose in post-communist Sofia, Bulgaria. The examination of each of these sites draws on an array of interconnected theoretical propositions, pertaining to surfaces’ conceptualization as temporal, fictitious and relational objects engaged in the production of political meaning.

Résumé:
Aménager, c'est rendre possible un projet de ville, en assemblant des opérations et des fragments qui prennent sens grâce à une vision d'avenir. Dans la démarche de mutation engagée à Saint-Etienne, le pari est celui de la transformation urbaine comme levier de la nécessaire reconquête économique. Une transformation dont les processus de mise en œuvre relèvent d'un va-et-vient permanent entre actions et réflexions sur les méthodes. Selon ce principe, un workshop, organisé en juin 2005 par la Ville de Saint-Etienne avec la contribution du futur aménageur - la mission de préfiguration d'un établissement public -, a permis un dialogue ouvert et courageux entre les équipes stéphanoises et les experts invités. Le procédé, en dégageant des pistes de refondation du projet urbain, nourrit une grande opération menée conjointement par les collectivités locales et l'Etat. Au-delà du cas particulier, l'aventure stéphanoise permet de dégager des lignes de force pour alimenter la réflexion et guider les acteurs qui ont en charge la ville, où qu'elle soit et quelle qu'elle soit. Ce livre a donc une valeur didactique, tant sur les principes qui fondent l'action urbaine que sur les outils opérationnels et les méthodes dont a besoin une politique d'aménagement inventive.

Résumé:
This book, conceived as a project at the Architectural Association in London, leads a narrative through a series of architectural drawings, texts and images. At its core lies an urban proposal for the transformation of one of London's biggest and most congested traffic intersections, Vauxhall Cross, into a giant cross-Thames roundabout. In this book episodes of urban life, political measures and financial strategies contrast with the architectural and urban proposals that are weaved into its form. An allegorical reading of the rhythm of the junction's traffic control system structures the book: green, yellow and red episodes alternate with one another in a repetitive succession and use Levebre's analytical system of 'Rhythmanalysis' to interpret contemporary London as a force-field of rhythms with different scales and durations. Those rhythms, by which the social, political and economic powers manifest themselves, are shown to act upon the site and the individuals within it. If the rhythm of the traffic lights stands for a system of successive incidents, the transformation of the site into a roundabout suggests continuous flow capable of liberating and utilizing these urban forces. The book ends therefore by suggesting a strategic proposal in which the inner area of the roundabout becomes a laboratory, a speculative arena for the testing of alternative urban futures.

Résumé:
Trafic routier, nuisances sonores, pollution de l'air, globalisation de l'offre commerciale, cloisonnement des espaces et des usages, 'la plus belle avenue du monde' est contrariée. Ses places et ses jardins, désertés par les Parisiens, doivent aujourd'hui engager leur mutation et permettre à chacun de se réapproprier ce patrimoine exceptionnel. Au-delà des questions urbaines, les enjeux du nouveau régime climatique doivent présider à cette transformation. Les défis sont nombreux : diminuer le nombre et l'intensité des îlots de chaleur, rendre les sols plus perméables ; libérer, unifier et augmenter les espaces verts ; favoriser les mobilités douces ; valoriser le patrimoine existant ; construire sans consommer davantage ; continuer à croître sans aggraver la dette environnementale, inventer de nouveaux types de financements et de partenariats... L'étude ''Champs-Elysées, histoire & perspectives'', menée par l'agence PCA-STREAM à l'initiative du Comité Champs-Elysées, engage la relecture de la construction urbaine et symbolique de ce territoire. Elle en fait le diagnostic au regard des problématiques locales et des enjeux contemporains pour offrir une vision nouvelle, qui s'appuie sur le travail collaboratif d'une large équipe d'experts internationaux - chercheurs, historiens, acteurs économiques et culturels, scientifiques, artistes... Les attendus et calculs démontrent la faisabilité de cette transformation et, par anticipation, la possible évolution des espaces publics et touristiques dans les métropoles de demain.
