Résumé:
What comes after the Anthropocene? Can we depart from our human-centered perspective to build a future for the benefit of all species? What tools and techniques might help us get there? These are the questions investigated by the long-term interdisciplinary project "Interspecies future", which brings together perspectives from art, science, and technology to explore what(...)

Résumé:
What comes after the Anthropocene? Can we depart from our human-centered perspective to build a future for the benefit of all species? What tools and techniques might help us get there? These are the questions investigated by the long-term interdisciplinary project "Interspecies future", which brings together perspectives from art, science, and technology to explore what this future might look like. First initiated in 2022 by LAS Art Foundation, this project explores new pathways for planetary thinking and collective intelligence. With more than 60 contributions, this interactive reader is the first book to provide an extensive foundation of key concepts, debates, and case studies that propose ways to re-frame, repair, and re-imagine interspecies relations. "Interspecies future: A primer" draws on recent advancements in planetary computation and machine learning, new discoveries in non-human intelligence, as well as post-human theory and Indigenous knowledge.

Résumé:
Throughout his creative career, Turner Prize-winning sculptor Anish Kapoor has worked extensively with architects and engineers, and built a large body of public works that merge sculpture and architecture. Now, in a world designed using CAD programs, Kapoor argues that the next logical step in integrating design with production is to move from virtual models to 3D-printed buildings. In Unconformity and Entropy, a number of finished architectural works are fleshed out with preparatory studies and extracts from the artist's extensive technical research, illustrating his investigation of the fluid and plastic qualities of cement. Central to the project is the conceit of the use of a purpose-built machine to generate forms through which Kapoor would explore the intersection of idea and event. Extensively illustrated with original drawings, sketches and color photographs, and superbly designed, Unconformity and Entropy also includes several illuminating introductory essays.

Une maison est davantage qu’une « machine à habiter » ! Ce « davantage » de l’habiter humain – sa poétique – il s’est agi d’en saisir la dynamique première dans certains de ses motifs privilégiés, la spatialité, la temporalité, la corporéité, la musique, la poésie…, à partir de ce qui la fonde : la Terre, comme à la fois planète et sol phénoménologique. Cette poétique, c’est effectivement ce qui a peu à peu entraîné les participants et leurs spécialités diverses – architecture, anthropologie, chorégraphie, géographie, musique, informatique, peinture, littérature, cinema – dans la synergie que favorisait le lieu.

Résumé:
Online privacy is under constant attack by social media and big data technologies. But we cannot rely on individual actions to remedy this—it is a matter of social justice. Alice E. Marwick offers a new way of understanding how privacy is jeopardized, particularly for marginalized and disadvantaged communities—including immigrants, the poor, people of color, LGBTQ+ populations, and victims of online harassment. Marwick shows that few resources or regulations for preventing personal information from spreading on the internet. Through a new theory of ''networked privacy,'' she reveals how current legal and technological frameworks are woefully inadequate in addressing issues of privacy—often by design. Drawing from interviews and focus groups encompassing a diverse group of Americans, Marwick shows that even heavy social media users care deeply about privacy and engage in extensive ''privacy work'' to protect it. But people are up against the violation machine of the modern internet. Safeguarding privacy must happen at the collective level.

Il relate l'enchaînement des étapes, le jeu de rôles qui s'est mis en place dès le concours, la succession des obstacles franchis grâce à sa ténacité et au travail acharné de son équipe. Il explique comment, avec un budget restreint, il a glissé tel "un bateau dans une bouteille", un programme très dense - 13 amphithéâtres, 60 salles de cours, un resto U - dans cette halle industrielle pour en faire une véritable "machine à enseigner". Inhabituel par son ton sans concession et son caractère précis, ce récit révèle tous les aspects de la pratique d'un architecte, de la première intuition à la stratégie parfois guerrière qu'il lui faut développer pour mener à bien un projet architectural.

Résumé:
Amid the cultural and political ferment of 1960s France, a group of avant-garde architects, artists, writers, theorists, and critics known as "spatial urbanists" envisioned a series of urban utopias, phantom cities of a possible future. The utopian "spatial" city most often took the form of a massive grid or mesh suspended above the ground, all of its parts (and inhabitants) circulating in a smooth, synchronous rhythm, its streets and buildings constituting a gigantic work of plastic art or interactive machine. In this new urban world, technology and automation were positive forces, providing for material needs as well as time and space for leisure. In this first study of the French avant-garde tendency known as spatial urbanism, Larry Busbea analyzes projects by artists and architects (including the most famous spatial practitioner, Yona Friedman) and explores texts (many of which have never before been translated from the French) by Michel Ragon, the influential founder of the Groupe International d'Architecture Prospective (GIAP), Victor Vasarely, and others.

Résumé:
The early twentieth century was a time of extraordinary change in Europe. War and revolution shattered the traditional cohesion of European civilisation, while the machine age brought mass production and distribution and a new sense of internationalism. This ‘heroic’ period of modernity found particularly forceful expression in graphic design and photomontage throughout Europe, where new techniques allowed a fusion of typography, painting and photography, evoking the dynamism and fragmentation of cinema. "Avant-garde Graphics: 1918 – 34" showcases the work of many of the leading practitioners of the Modern movement, from Italian Futurists, the Dutch members of De Stijl and the German Bauhaus, to the Constructivists of Russia and central Europe. Drawn from the collection of Merrill C. Berman, one of the greatest collections of twentieth-century graphic art in the world, this book features colour reproductions of original posters, prints, book designs and political and commercial ephemera, together with original designers’ layouts and photomontages.

Résumé:
Upon completing the eponymous Le Corbusier Building in Berlin in 1958, the pioneering Modernist architect Le Corbusier described the building as rising up to, a monumental size without taking from any of its parts their respect for the individual, physical and subjective dimension. Le Corbusier had confronted Berliners, in their divided city, with his concept of communal living--a 17-story reinforced-concrete building containing 557 apartments, with only nine corridors to provide access to all of them. Le Corbusier's "machine for living" still influences the inhabitants of the building, yet no matter the architect's intention, it is ultimately the building's residents that give a house its life. Ethnologist and photographer Bärbel Högner was well aware of this when she moved into the Le Corbusier building as artist-in-residence in 2007. Her findings are published in this stunning volume, which features images of the interplay between residents and Le Corbusier's architectural masterwork.
