Résumé:
A une époque où l'esthétique française affine son statut de discipline scientifique. les architectes convoquent à leur tour un ensemble aux frontières mouvantes, articulant physiologie sensorielle, psychologie ou sociologie, et perméable à des courants plus ésotériques. Jusqu'où ces savoirs guident-ils le projet d'une rationalisation des états affectifs engendrés par l'environnement bâti ? Comment s'ajustent-ils aux débats doctrinaux qui traversent le champ architectural ? De César Daly à André Lurçat, cet ouvrage propose d'explorer ces tentatives visant à fonder une science de l'esthétique architecturale. De l'éclectisme stylistique au purisme géométrique, l'hypothèse d'un vocabulaire émotif de l'architecture se décline à partir de modélisations variées des processus de perception : associationnisme, théories de l'empathie ou conceptions mécanistes. Se construisent autant de méthodes d'analyse formelle, qui tendent à réduire l'architecture à des composantes géométriques. L'ouvrage révèle des continuités inattendues, entre culture beaux-arts et mouvement moderne ; il met également en évidence les porosités des théories architecturales aux imaginaires scientifiques de leur temps.

Résumé:
Byung-Chul Han, a star of German philosophy, continues his passionate critique of neoliberalism, trenchantly describing a regime of technological domination that, in contrast to Foucault’s biopower, has discovered the productive force of the psyche. In the course of discussing all the facets of neoliberal psychopolitics fueling our contemporary crisis of freedom, Han elaborates an analytical framework that provides an original theory of Big Data and a lucid phenomenology of emotion. But this provocative essay proposes counter models too, presenting a wealth of ideas and surprising alternatives at every turn.

Résumé:
This publication is a collection of “favorite” designs as selected by 80 graphic designers, typographers, teachers, scholars, writers and design impresarios. Designers have preferences, like modern over postmodern, serif over sans serif, decorative over minimal, but designers could not be engaged in design practice if they did not love design. The reasons for such a charged emotion varies from individual to individual, but there are certain commonalities regarding form, function, outcome, and more. Design triggers something in all of us that may be solely aesthetic or decidedly content-driven, but in the final analysis, we are drawn to it through the heart.

Résumé:
Isaac Cordal is a sculpture artist from London whose sculptures take the form of "little people" sculpted from concrete and placed in "real" situations. Cordal manages to capture much emotion in his vignettes, in spite of the little people's lack of detail or color. He is sympathetic toward his little people and we empathize with their situations, their leisure time, their waiting for buses and their more tragic moments such as accidental death, suicide or family funerals. His sculptures can be found in gutters, on top of buildings, on top of bus shelters - and in many other unusual and unlikely places.

Résumé:
Published in 1872, ''The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals'' was a book at the very heart of Darwin's research interests - a central pillar of his 'human' series. This book engaged some of the hardest questions in the evolution debate, and it showed the ever-cautious Darwin at his boldest. If Darwin had one goal with ''Expression,'' it was to demonstrate the power of his theories for explaining the origin of our most cherished human qualities: morality and intellect. As Darwin explained, "He who admits, on general grounds, that the structure and habits of all animals have been gradually evolved, will look at the whole subject of 'Expression' in a new and interesting light."

Résumé:
The exhibition ''The Architect is Present'' shows the work of five influential international studios who have turned austerity into their ethic and aesthetic motto. With offices located in five continents, these young architects work in underprivileged contexts, proving that scarcity of means can stimulate technical inventiveness and community participation, and become the basis for a responsible architecture where the vocation of service does not exclude beauty and emotion. From Norway and Germany to Burkina Faso, and from Paraguay to Australia passing through India or Thailand, these studios have built housing, rural schools or social centers with an extraordinary economy of means, admirable adaptation to collective needs and exemplary material execution.

Résumé:
In 1962, Place Ville Marie, Montreal’s cross-shaped office tower and underground shopping mall—named after the French Catholic settlement of unceded Mohawk territory that became the colonial city—opened to the public as the Commonwealth’s tallest ''nerve centre'' and ''breathing machine.'' The same year, Silvan Tomkins, the father of affect theory, published Volume I of ''Affect imagery consciousness'', which exuberantly draws on the then-sensational cybernetic brain-computer metaphor. 1962 also saw the publication of ''Story sequence analysis'' by Magda Arnold, a luddistic and devoutly Catholic psychologist who mothered the monumental cognitive appraisal theory of emotion. ''Modernist affect grid’s'' essay-poems triangulate these events as they emerge amidst the Cold War tech race’s paranoid and projective ambition.
