Résumé:
While the potential of agency is most frequently taken to be the power and freedom to act for oneself, for the architectural community this also involves the power and responsibility to act as intermediaries on behalf of others. Presenting current thinking from practitioners and scholars from around the world, this book asks for a more active relationship between the humanities, the architectural profession, and society. Considering issues of architectural research as an agency of transformation, this book explores how humanities research can better contribute towards understanding current architectural needs.

Résumé:
Looking at recent social struggles including the university strikes in Europe, the Spanish ¡Democracia real YA! organization, the Arab revolts, and the Occupy movement, Raunig argues for a reassessment of the importance of cultural and knowledge production. The central role of the university, he asserts, is not as a factory of knowledge but as a place of creative disobedience. Drawing on Gilles Deleuze's concept of "modulation" as the market-driven imperative for the constant transformation and reinvention of subjectivity, in Factories of Knowledge, Industries of Creativity, Raunig charts alternative horizons for resistance.

Cet ouvrage propose un examen des pratiques relatives aux projets architecturaux et urbains. Face aux mutations et aux défis actuels, comment les architectes, urbanistes et concepteurs peuvent-ils préserver leur mission, leur place, leur légitimité et leur pouvoir ? En développant les savoirs et savoir-faire pertinents et efficients pour réussir l’articulation entre la demande sociale et l’espace architectural et urbain. À cette fin ils sont requis de développer une culture de projet qui soit une culture de la transformation et non de l’opérationnalisation, une culture de l’invention et non de l’application. L’urbanité est en jeu.

Résumé:

Ce recueil de textes brefs, accompagnés de croquis et d’illustrations, présente les diverses spécialisations du design : design visuel, design industriel, design graphique et design de recherche. Avec sa plume caustique, l’auteur se livre à des critiques impitoyables de la création de son époque, trop statique et trop complexe. Il appelle de ses vœux des formes en mouvement, en transformation et prône la simplicité et l’équilibre, se réclamant ainsi de l’esthétique asiatique.
