Résumé:
"Perspecta", the oldest and most respected student-edited architectural journal in the United States, marks its fiftieth anniversary with this selection of influential and provocative pieces published in its pages from the 1950s through the 1990s. The essays and portfolios in "[Re]Reading Perspecta" trace the development of architectural culture and discourse over the past fifty years and bear witness to the influential role played by "Perspecta" in a time of crucial debate about the function and future of architecture. This collection (with over 800 pages and 900 images) presents engaging and stimulating essays published in "Perspecta", written by such well-known historians, theorists, and architects as Vincent Scully, Colin Rowe, Roland Barthes, Karsten Harries, K. Michael Hays, Allan Greenberg, Sibyl Moholy-Nagy, John Hejduk, Francesco Dal Co, Bernard Tschumi, and Mark Wigley. "[Re]Reading Perspecta" also assembles the best examples of the richly-illustrated portfolios of projects published over the years, including work by Paul Rudolph, Louis Kahn, Robert Venturi, Eero Saarinen, Charles Moore, Philip Johnson, Peter Eisenman, John Hejduk, Steven Holl, Thomas Leeser, Hani Rashid, and others. The editors introduce each section with essays that offer historical context and critical commentary. "[Re]Reading Perspecta" also includes essays by Kenneth Frampton, K. Michael Hays, Joan Ockman, and Sandy Isenstadt on the history of "Perspecta" and its role in architectural discourse. This selection of the best of "Perspecta" covers a broad and lively spectrum of American architectural design, history, theory, and criticism.

De nombreuses disciplines ont contribué au développement d'une nouvelle forme de pensée apparue récemment qui conteste, critique, cherche à dépasser un rationalisme hérité du XVIIe siècle et jugé par trop simplificateur, inapte à rendre compte de la complexité du réel sur lequel on doit travailler aujourd'hui.

Résumé:
De nombreuses disciplines ont contribué au développement d'une nouvelle forme de pensée apparue récemment qui conteste, critique, cherche à dépasser un rationalisme hérité du XVIIe siècle et jugé par trop simplificateur, inapte à rendre compte de la complexité du réel sur lequel on doit travailler aujourd'hui. Qu'en est-il de l'architecture?. Peut-elle rester à l'écart de ce mouvement des idées? La mythique cabane des origines, le temple, le palais, la villa, l'immeuble de rapport, le grand ensemble marquent une évolution, parallèle à celle des sociétés, caractérisée par l'accroissement de la complexité des facteurs intervenant dans la conception. La critique du rationalisme en architecture développée dans la première partie du livre contribue à dépasser toutes les pensées simplificatrices à propos de l'architecture et de la ville. L'architecture ne peut pas se penser aujourd'hui sans la ville, ni la ville sans ses habitants. L'architecture doit donc convoquer à son chevet non seulement la technique et le design, mais également l'urbanisme, la sociologie, la psychologie, l'histoire voire la mythologie, la culture, la démographie, l'économie, l'écologie. La seconde partie (parcourant l'œuvre de Louis Kahn, Luis Barragàn, Henri Gaudin, Vittorio Gregotti, John Hejduk, Peter Eisenman, Bernard Tschumi, Christian de Portzamparc, Renzo Piano) vise à faire prendre conscience de la pertinence et de la puissance des outils conceptuels qui ont été forgés par des penseurs issus de domaines très divers, aussi bien en sciences exactes qu'en sciences humaines, et que l'on peut regrouper sous le label "pensée de la complexité"

Résumé:
What would it mean today to think or to imagine, to design or to construct, in relation not to "things made" but to "things in the making"? This question, first posed by the philosopher William James, was the point of departure for "The Pragmatist Imagination". The volume brings together position statements, theoretical speculations, and critical commentary by 33 leading thinkers and makers from over a dozen disciplines. Based on the proceedings of an international workshop held at Columbia University under the auspices of the Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture in spring 2000, a preamble to the much-ballyhooed conference at the Museum of Modern Art in November, 2000, the contributions traverse a set of burning questions about the future, ranging from the relationship between art and experience to the impact of new technologies on human consciousness, from transformations in everyday life to problems of public space, and from the destiny of the nation-state to emergent forms of transnationalism. The authors include Stanley Aronowitz, Marshall Berman, Casey Nelson Blake, Sandra Buckley, Teresa Caldeira, Jean-Louis Cohen, Jonathan Crary, Rosalyn Deutsche, Kenneth Frampton, Gerald E. Frug, Peter Galison, Elizabeth Grosz, Andreas Huyssen, Isaac Joseph, David Lapoujade, Reinhold Martin, Brian Massumi, Mary McLeod, Paul Miller a.k.a. DJ Spooky, Chantal Mouffe, Joan Ockman, John Rajchman, Martha Rosler, Hashim Sarkis, Saskia Sassen, Sandhya Shukla, Richard Shusterman, Abdoumaliq Simone, Anders Stephanson, Bernard Tschumi, Nadia Urbinati, Mabel Wilson, and Gwendolyn Wright. The book includes an introduction by John Rajchman and an afterword by Casey Nelson Blake.

Résumé:
The fine line between art and architecture is rapidly becoming harder to perceive. With the aid of sophisticated computer programs, today's most innovative architects are working on designs so conceptual they could not be realized in the physical world. Nevertheless, these sorts of forward-thinking projects are an important influence on the architectural climate. At the dawn of the 21st century, architecture is entering a paradigm shift; no longer can it be completely distinguished from art. Be they built from bytes or bricks, the projects in this book represent the imagination of the planet's most talented and creative architects. For all the latest and most important architectural projects and trends, look no further than this volume, the follow-up to our popular and groundbreaking book Architecture Now!
