Pre´sentant 170 se´quences, issues de huit films re´alise´s au tournant du sie`cle (1999-2017), il met en exergue la singularite´ du langage cine´matographique de Bing et l’ampleur colossale et ine´dite de son projet anthropologique a` l’e´chelle d’un pays-continent ayant connu une transformation radicale de sa socie´te´. Au fil des pages se pre´cise l’attente, le doute et la concentration au travers d’un certain nombre de motifs temporels. Loin des grands re´cits magistraux ou des films de de´nonciation, le livre traduit par l’accumulation des images, des de´tails, des gestes la manie`re dont Wang Bing enregistre, lentement, patiemment, la pre´carite´ de ces vies dans l’intimite´ de leur corps-a`-corps quotidien avec la re´alite´.

''Inventing Greenland'' is a critical and timely assemblage of stories highlighting a shifting landscape – one born from the imagination, projections, and ambitions of a wide range of actors. Geared towards a design audience, this book combines spatial sensibilities with Greenland's local cultural, social, and environmental realities. ''Inventing Greenland'' is a critical and timely assemblage of stories highlighting a shifting landscape – one born from the imagination, projections, and ambitions of a wide range of actors. Today, especially within the design discipline, there is a lack of understanding of Greenland as a complex constellation of perspectives, histories, and forces. This book aims to fill that knowledge vacuum. Geared towards architects, landscape architects, and urban planners, this book combines spatial sensibilities with local cultural, social, and environmental realities. More specifically, spatial sensibility is a way of responding to and reading beyond a diverse array of relationships in the built environment. Furthermore, ''Inventing Greenland'' provides a broad understanding of a unique island undergoing intense transformation while drawing attention to its historical and current challenges and emerging opportunities.

Résumé:
In this publication, Marcus Boon explores music as a material practice of vibration. Focusing on the work of three contemporary musicians—Hindustani classical vocalist Pandit Pran Nath, Swedish drone composer and philosopher Catherine Christer Hennix, and Houston-based hip-hop musician DJ Screw—Boon outlines how music constructs a vibrational space of individual and collective transformation. Contributing to a new interdisciplinary field of vibration studies, he understands vibration as a mathematical and a physical concept, as a religious or ontological force, and as a psychological determinant of subjectivity. Boon contends that music, as a shaping of vibration, needs to be recognized as a cosmopolitical practice—in the sense introduced by Isabelle Stengers—in which what music is within a society depends on what kinds of access to vibration are permitted, and to whom. This politics of vibration constitutes the hidden ontology of contemporary music because the organization of vibration shapes individual music scenes as well as the ethical choices that participants in these scenes make about how they want to live in the world.

Le changement climatique est une réalité vécue maintenant quotidiennement au travers des événements météorologiques extrêmes qui se multiplient. Les villes sont en première ligne de ces bouleversements, à la fois responsables et victimes. Sont-elles condamnées ? Non. En prenant l'exemple de Paris, cet essai montre que les solutions existent et que les villes peuvent s'adapter pour se préparer à ce futur et devenir des métropoles écologiques et bioclimatiques. En 2050, Paris aura le climat de Marseille aujourd'hui. Il y a donc urgence à adapter Paris à ce nouveau climat, en s'inspirant de l'architecture traditionnelle méditerranéenne et en intégrant toutes les nouvelles approches bioclimatiques. C'est ce à quoi nous exhorte Franck Lirzin, s'appuyant sur les dernières découvertes scientifiques et innovations technologiques afin de montrer les voies de l'adaptation climatique de Paris, et de créer une véritable capitale écologique, une « écotopie ». Quelles décisions devons-nous prendre aujourd'hui pour nous assurer une qualité de vie acceptable demain ? Franck Lirzin est polytechnicien et ingénieur des mines, diplômé de l'EHESS. Haut fonctionnaire, il a été dirigeant d'une entreprise engagée dans la transformation de la ville.

Résumé:
In twelve essays, this book examines the spatial typologies and global phenomena that have defined the office in the last half century. Topics include the return of the work club, the rise of the corporate festival, the way of the charismatic guru, the shattering of the time clock, and the design of playgrounds for work. Photographic essays by Iwan Baan provide a visual post-occupancy report on a range of canonical office projects, such as Marcel Breuer’s IBM campus in Florida and the Ford Foundation’s urban garden in Manhattan. Four intervening catalogs offer collections of experimental workplace products, augural advertisements for office building components, digital office components, and renderings of speculative workplaces; each catalog bridges the reality of the office and how we imagine its alternatives. This book is a theoretical backdrop for architects as much as it is for businesspeople and employees. With curiosity and skepticism, it looks at the spaces and solutions that have been designed for human work, tracing the transformation from work to occupation, from punch cards to “playbor,” from today’s lived experience to tomorrow’s unpredictable, imagined futures.

Résumé:
Berlin's history of conflict, violence, and transformation has created an arena of particular urban surfaces, from which the present-day city and its layered, wounded past are projected simultaneously. In this publication, cultural historian Stephen Barber explores the intimate connections between those surfaces and the works of art and film that have both incised Berlin's urban screens and been inspired by them. Drawing on a vast range of material - from the first films of Berlin in the 1890s to the city's place in contemporary digital art - this book takes the form of a series of image-propelled journeys across the face of Berlin and through its urban histories, excavating the ricochets among the city, art, and film. In Barber's hands, Berlin's walls become apertures that mediate the city's preoccupations and manias, damage and scars, strata and outgrowths, sexual obsessions, and urban vanishings. The Walls of Berlin is a cultural history of the city's memories-as well as its acts of forgetting-that illuminates overlooked spaces and the sensory presences that inhabit them.

Résumé:
Maisel’s work has always been concerned with processes of memory, excavation, and transformation. These themes are given new form in his latest work, History’s Shadow. In this series, Maisel re-photographs x-rays from museum archives that depict artifacts from antiquity, scanning and digitally manipulating the selected source material. X-rays have historically been used by art conservators for structural examination of art and artifacts much as physicians examine bones and internal organs; they reveal losses, replacements, construction methods, and internal trauma invisible to the naked eye. By transcribing both the inner and outer surfaces of their subjects simultaneously, they form spectral images of indeterminate space, depth, and scale. The resulting photographs seem like transmissions from the distant past, both spanning and collapsing time. They express – through feeling and art, as well as science and reason – the shape-shifting nature of time itself, and the continuous presence of the past contained within us. The book contains an original short story by Jonathan Lethem that was inspired by Maisel’s images.

Trois aspects caractérisent cet ouvrage et éclairent son importance : ses qualités purement littéraires, la progressive transformation de la personnalité de l'auteur au fil du parcours, le rôle de ces leçons dans son processus de conception tout au long de sa vie. Ce voyage éclaire le rapport de l'auteur entre inspiration et création. Hormis le récit qu'il tire de ses découvertes, Le Corbusier remplit plusieurs carnets de dessins, croquis et annotations (certaines pages sont reproduites dans l'ouvrage). Sa vie durant, il retournera à ces études de l'année 1911 pour ressourcer sa créativité et y puiser la matrice de ses formes nouvelles. Le récit est accompagné d'une postface analysant le rôle des voyages dans le travail de Le Corbusier et d'une introduction présentant le contexte de ce déplacement.

Résumé:
Fang’s novel tells the story of a man in the process of designing a theme park, called Garden of Mirrored Flowers, and is an adaptation and transformation of the classical Chinese novel Jin Hua Yuan, or Flowers in the Mirror, from the Qing Dynasty. Beginning as a pictorial journey through myriad advertisements and the way they allow for many different entries into reality, Fang depicts parallels between the park’s actual construction and how it has been imagined, or how it has evolved out of history. For Garden of Mirrored Flowers is less the vision of one author (Fang) and more the result of reality writing itself through this author; that is, a script, or documentary, of life. “It’s a book,” Fang states, “written by a ghost writer. Me? Just a traveler floating within the wave of globalization.” Culminating with the park’s opening ceremony, Fang creates a space where history seems to have been completely consumed and absorbed by contemporary social movements. It is both a labyrinth to get lost in and a pavilion made of reflective glass.
