Résumé:
L’environnementalisme qui entend adapter la nature aux exigences de la société capitaliste, comme l’écologie autoritaire qui prétend imposer la sobriété au monde échoueront parce qu’elles continuent d’opposer la nature et la société. En restant prisonniers de cette dualité, nous ignorons que les mauvais traitements infligés à la nature sont le résultat des dominations internes à la société humaine. Il ne saurait donc y avoir d’écologie sans transformation de la société par elle-même. Tel est le dépassement qu’opère Murray Bookchin ouvrier syndicaliste, activiste libertaire et intellectuel autodidacte – en théorisant l’écologie sociale. Ce livre présente et approfondit cette révolution intellectuelle pour en tirer toutes les conséquences pratiques et politiques : décentralisation des métropoles, écologisation de l’économie, démocratie directe, etc.

Il convient de repenser en profondeur les modes de construction, de transformation et d'habitation des sols qui nous accueillent pour cesser de les malmener voire les ignorer et apprendre à mieux les partager. Milieu(x), ressource(s) et mémoire(s) sont ici convoqués à travers plusieurs contributions mêlant points de vue de chercheurs et praticiens, présentant des temporalités et des terrains volontairement différenciés pour éclairer un plus juste partage des sols.

Résumé:
Over the last decade, Copenhagen has undergone a major transformation – not just in its appearance, but in the way the city functions and is experienced by its residents. COBE’s projects are spread out over Copenhagen, but they aren’t cookie-cutter buildings that are placed without meaning or context. Each structure is highly aware of what the local markers mean in a globalised world. What unites them is the architects’ desire to achieve a more sustainable, socially inviting urban environment for city residents. This monograph speaks to all those who live and work in cities, with contributions ranging from established architects and architecture critics to the those in municipal and urban planning roles and the residents themselves.

Résumé:
This book highlights sound's invisible, disruptive, and affective qualities and asks whether the unseen nature of sound can support a political transformation. In ''Sonic agency'', Brandon LaBelle sets out to engage contemporary social and political crises by way of sonic thought and imagination. He divides sound's functions into four figures of resistance -- the invisible, the overheard, the itinerant, and the weak -- and argues for their role in creating alternative "unlikely publics" in which to foster mutuality and dissent. He considers issues of disappearance and hidden culture, nonviolence and noise, creole poetics, and networked life, aiming to unsettle traditional notions of the "space of appearance" as the condition for political action and survival.

Résumé:
Drained by a half-dozen major watersheds, cut by a network of deep ravines and fronting on a Great Lake, Toronto is dominated by water. Like most cities, though, Toronto has mismanaged its water, from the decades-long transformation of the citys creeks into sewersheds to the alteration of Torontos waterfront. Recently, the trend of fettering Torontos water and putting it underground has been countered by persistent citizen-led efforts to recall and restore the citys surface water. In HTO: Torontos Water From Lake Iroquois to Taddle Creek and Beyond, 30 contributors examine the ever-changing interplay between nature and culture, and call into question the citys past, present and future engagement with water.

Résumé:
An explosion of little architectural magazines in the 1960s and 1970s instigated a radical transformation in architectural culture, as the magazines acted as a site of innovation and debate. Clip, Stamp, Fold takes stock of seventy little magazines from this period that were published in over a dozen cities. Coined in the early twentieth century to designate progressive literary journals, the term little magazine was remobilized during the 1960s to grapple with the contemporary proliferation of independent architectural periodicals. In addition to short-lived radical magazines, this book includes pamphlets and building instruction manuals along with professional magazines that experienced moments of littleness, influenced by the graphics and intellectual concerns of their self-published contemporaries.

Résumé:
Once known as a “drug capital” and associated with kidnappings, violence, and excess, Bogotá, Colombia, has undergone a transformation that some have termed “the miracle of Bogotá.” Beginning in the late 1980s, the city emerged from a long period of political and social instability to become an unexpected model of urban development through the redesign and revitalization of the public realm—parks, transportation, and derelict spaces—under the leadership of two “public space mayors,” Antanas Mockus and Enrique Peñalosa (the latter reelected in 2015). In Learning from Bogotá, Rachel Berney analyzes how these mayors worked to reconfigure the troubled city into a pedagogical one whose public spaces and urban policy have helped shape a more tolerant and aware citizenry.

Résumé:
This latest issue takes us to Shenzhen to check out some of the latest projects to be completed in the Chinese city nearby Hong Kong. With the Sea World Culture and Arts Center, Maki and Associates adds an important cultural space to Shenzhen’s waterfront. Elsewhere, the architects of the Shenzhen-based firm Urbanus added a new typology to Chinese urban landscapes: an urban village on the roof of a conventional mall. Heatherwick Studio shows us the art of reinvention with the conversion of a decommissioned grain silo in Cape Town. The imposing silo has been turned into an art gallery with a hotel. Mark asks how works of art can compete with the building’s compelling transformation.

Résumé:
''Constructing Imperial Berlin'' is the first book to critically assess, contextualize, and frame urban and architectural photographs of the Imperial years in Berlin between 1871 and 1918. Berlin, as it was pronounced Germany's capital in 1871, was fraught with questions that had previously beset Paris and London. How was urban expansion and transformation to be absorbed? What was the city's understanding of its comparably short history? Given this short history, how did it embody the idea of a capital? A key theme of this book is the close interrelation of the city's rapid physical metamorphosis with repercussions on promotional and critical narratives, the emergence of groundbreaking photographic technologies, and novel forms of mass distribution.

Résumé:
'Marginalia' draws our attention towards the territory of the overseen elements coexisting in the realm of the book itself. Text and image content of several art books designed by Anja Lutz withdraw to let appear the non-descript details: the margins, the edges, the backgrounds, the spaces between the lines … Each book is unique in its choice of format, material, layout, and rhythm. The selected pages underwent a process of transformation in which with surgical precision Lutz dissects them, layer by layer, removing the vital parts and revealing their skeleton. The results are filigrane grids, fragments of images and traces of the layout that form intricately layered compositions of voids, exposing the hidden relations between the pages.
