Résumé:
Anthony Fontenot’s book uncovers the surprisingly libertarian heart of the most influential British and American architectural and urbanist discourses of the postwar period, expressed as a critique of central design and a support of spontaneous order. "Non-design" illuminates the unexpected philosophical common ground between enemies of state support, most prominently the economist Friedrich Hayek, and numerous notable postwar architects and urbanists like Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, Reyner Banham, and Jane Jacobs. These thinkers espoused a distinctive concept of 'non-design,' characterized by a rejection of conscious design and an embrace of various phenomenon that emerge without intention or deliberate human guidance. This diffuse and complex body of theories discarded many of the cultural presuppositions of the time, shunning the traditions of modern design in favor of the wisdom, freedom, and self-organizing capacity of the market. Fontenot reveals the little-known commonalities between the aesthetic deregulation sought by ostensibly liberal thinkers and Hayek’s more controversial conception of state power, detailing what this unexplored affinity means for our conceptions of political liberalism. "Non-design" thoroughly recasts conventional views of postwar architecture and urbanism, as well as liberal and libertarian philosophies.

Résumé:
What is the actual difference between architectural and interior design? To answer the question, this book looks into the actions of interior disciplines, to understand what they do, not only what they are. In doing so, it studies them through intersection, to identify the essential principles that characterise this kind of design. From typology to topology, from context(...)

What is the actual difference between architectural and interior design? To answer the question, this book looks into the actions of interior disciplines, to understand what they do, not only what they are. In doing so, it studies them through intersection, to identify the essential principles that characterise this kind of design. From typology to topology, from context to palimpsest, from space to place, the result is a story – particularly focused on the Italian tradition – of the ideas and projects that defined a particular design sensibility that knows no limits of context or scale.

Résumé:
En un demi-siècle, la société paysanne a connu une mue stupéfiante, dont les effets se sont lus rapidement et violemment dans les paysages. Tandis que les remembrements remodelaient les territoires au gré des nouvelles pratiques agricoles, la standardisation gagnait les édifices désormais bien éloignés de la diversité des constructions traditionnelles. Si cet aboutissement est bien connu, les raisons et les modalités qui l’ont produit demeurent opaques. À travers l’évolution des édifices, cet ouvrage révèle les ressorts politiques, économiques et réglementaires de la transformation du monde rural durant la seconde partie du XXe siècle. Portés par des acteurs divers aux motivations multiples, de l’État aux dépositaires d’intérêts privés, en passant par les territoires, ces nouveaux modes d’organisation des campagnes modifient en profondeur et à un rythme soutenu les paysages, mais également la sociologie et l’organisation du monde paysan.

On sait peu de choses sur le rôle de la musique dans le travail de Le Corbusier. On en sait également peu sur le travail architectural de Iannis Xenakis.

Résumé:
On sait peu de choses sur le rôle de la musique dans le travail de Le Corbusier. On en sait également peu sur le travail architectural de Iannis Xenakis. Pourtant, cela fait soixante ans que Xenakis élabora la conception du Pavillon Philips de l'Exposition universelle de 1958 à Bruxelles : un pavillon éphémère aux formes organiques réalisé alors qu'il travaillait chez Le Corbusier, en même temps qu'il produisait ses premières compositions musicales. Objet multimédia avant l'heure, ce Pavillon intrigue toujours autant par les courbures de ses formes dans l'espace, que par les oeuvres électroniques dont il fut l'écrin. Plus encore, la rencontre des individualités collaborant au projet interpelle : faire un projet à plusieurs, c'est accepter les contradictions, les silences, les tensions. À travers l'analyse de documents originaux, certains inédits, cet ouvrage revient sur la place de la musique chez Le Corbusier, de l'architecture chez Iannis Xenakis, et nous aide à comprendre leur travail de collaboration en revenant sur la genèse du Pavillon Philips : appréhender les rapports entre architecture et musique chez Le Corbusier et Xenakis, c'est ainsi constater le choc entre le sens ancestral de la synthèse des arts dont hérite le XXe siècle et la modernité d'un projet réalisé au cours des années 1950.

Résumé:
Building Happiness discusses the nature of happiness within our built environment. In association with Building Futures, the book includes ideas and debates informed by architects such as Herman Hertzberger and Aldo van Eyck, with these brought up to date through the work of contemporary architects and commentators. The nature of our environment and how we use it and how we are conditioned by it is considered in detail, particularly the ways this affects our sense of wellbeing or happiness. Is this a personal feeling or is it how space is used in our community that constructs happiness? Is it green eco-houses, traditional cottages or 1970s modernism that makes you happy? Building Happiness comprises both short commentaries and longer essays concerned with the impact of our built environment. The book also provides a visual representation of the themes addressed through evocative illustrations, sketches and photography. With an introduction by Jane Wernick, and contributions by architectural and social critics such as Jeremy Till, Shami Chakrabarti, and Kirsty Wark, as well as commentaries from Glenda Jackson and prestigious architects and artists such as Richard Rogers and Richard Wentworth, amongst others.

Résumé:
In this fresh and authoritative account John Macarthur presents the eighteenth century idea of the picturesque – when it was a risky term concerned with a refined taste for everyday things, such as the hovels of the labouring poor in the light of its reception and effects in modern culture. In a series of linked essays Macarthur shows: what the concept of picture does in the picturesque and how this relates to modern theories of the image how the distaste that might be felt today at the sentimentality of the picturesque was already at play in the eighteenth century how visual values such as ‘irregularity’ become the basis of modern architectural planning; how the concept of appropriating a view moves from landscape design into urban design why movement is fundamental to picturing the stillness of buildings, cities and landscapes. Drawing on examples from architecture, art and broader culture, John Macarthur's account of this key topic in cultural history, makes engaging reading for all those studying architecture, art history, cultural history or visual studies.
