Résumé:
Conceptions of modernity in architecture are often expressed in the idea of the zeitgeist, or “spirit of the age,” an attitude toward architectural form that is embedded in a belief in progressive time. 'Lateness' explores how architecture can work against these linear currents in startling and compelling ways. In this incisive book, internationally renowned architect Peter Eisenman, with Elisa Iturbe, proposes a different perspective on form and time in architecture, one that circumvents the temporal constraints on style that require it to be “of the times”—lateness. He focuses on three twentieth-century architects who exhibited the qualities of lateness in their designs: Adolf Loos, Aldo Rossi, and John Hejduk. Drawing on the critical theory of Theodor Adorno and his study of Beethoven’s final works, Eisenman shows how the architecture of these canonical figures was temporally out of sync with conventions and expectations, and how lateness can serve as a form of release from the restraints of the moment.

Résumé:
The internationally acclaimed architect Rafael Moneo is known to be a courageous architect. His major works include the Houston Museum of Fine Art, Davis Art Museum at Wellesley College, the Stockholm Museum of Modern Art and Architecture, and the Potzdammer Platz Hotel in Berlin. Now Moneo will be known as a daring critic as well. In this book he looks at eight of his contemporaries -- all architects of international stature -- and discusses the theoretical positions, technical innovations, and design contributions of each. Moneo's discussion of these eight architects -- James Stirling, Robert Venturi, Aldo Rossi, Peter Eisenman, Alvaro Siza, Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, and the partnership of Jacques Herzog and Pierre De Meuron -- has the colloquial, engaging tone of a series of lectures on modern architecture by a master architect; the reader hears not the dispassionate theorizing of an academic, but Moneo's own deeply held convictions as he considers the work of his contemporaries. Discussing each of the eight architects in turn, Moneo first gives an introductory profile, emphasizing intentions, theoretical concerns, and construction procedures. He then turns to the work, offering detailed critical analyses of the works he considers to be crucial for an informed understanding of this architect's work. The many images he uses to illustrate his points resemble the rapid-fire flash of slides in a lecture, but Moneo's perspective is unique among lecturers. These profiles are not what Moneo calls the "tacit treatises" that can be found on the shelves of a university library, but lively encounters of architectural equals. More than 500 illustrations accompany the text.

Résumé:
Robots designed to care for people and neglected landscapes of digital trash. The promise of synthetic biology and the panic of living on a dying planet. Wonderful feats of intelligence and systemic acts of violence. Exhilaration and exhaustion. Rosi Braidotti argues that we must think about these apparent contradictions all together in order to make differences that actually matter. "Posthuman knowledge and the critical posthumanities" oscillates between evocations and transections of contemporary conditions, for which Braidotti offers what she calls the "posthuman convergence" as a new paradigm for situating and navigating their problems and possibilities. Reflecting on the knotted situation of the academic humanities, cognitive capitalism, and advanced climate change, she delivers an intersectional critique of humanism and anthropocentrism, and targets their exclusions and aporias to address subjectivity, knowledge production, and academic structures within that posthuman convergence. Braidotti's convergence demands imagination, endurance, connectivity, and perspectives multiplied, embodied, and grounded in the only world we have.

Résumé:
Claude Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806), l'un des architectes les plus actifs de la fin de l'Ancien Régime, s'affirma par la puissance monumentale de ses oeuvres, qui privilégient les agencements de volumes simplifiés conjugués à de subtils raffinements ornementaux. L'originalité de cet artiste visionnaire, auteur de la saline royale d'Arc-et-Senans et des barrières de Paris, repose sur l'entrelacement de l'architecture et de la poésie. La France napoléonienne a ignoré Ledoux et rejeté son art et ses idées. Au XIXe siècle, les trois quarts de ses édifices ont été détruits. Pourtant, cette figure majeure de " l'expansion de l'art français ", selon l'expression de l'historien Louis Réau, a exercé une influence considérable en Europe et tout particulièrement en Russie. Alexandre Ier, qui accède au trône en 1801, désirait faire de Saint-Pétersbourg, en chantier depuis ses prédécesseurs, de Pierre le Grand à Catherine II et Paul Ier, la plus belle capitale européenne. Le mouvement de réforme opéré par l'architecture française, reflet de l'esprit des Lumières et des idées progressistes, trouva dans l'Empire russe un terrain fertile et se manifesta avant même l'installation d'Alexandre au pouvoir. Cette époque de gestation et de formation du classicisme russe fut celle de personnalités telles que Vallin de La Mothe, arrivé en 1759 dans la ville impériale, Kazakov, Starov et Bajenov. Avec Alexandre Ier, on assiste à l'Age d'or du classicisme, dont les principaux protagonistes sont Zakharov, Voronikhine, Lvov, les architectes français Thomon et Montferrand, l'Écossais Cameron, les Italiens Quarenghi, Gilardi, Rossi et la famille Adamini, qui partageaient une même inspiration ledolcienne, dont on constate la prédominance, jusqu'au XXe siècle, à Saint-Pétersbourg, Moscou, Kiev ou Iekaterinbourg. L'ouvrage d'Oxana Makhneva-Barabanova analyse les raisons du succès de Ledoux en Russie, en mettant en avant la pensée franc-maçonne et l'héritage littéraire des Lumières dans le fameux texte de l'architecte écrivain : L'Architecture considérée sous le rapport de l'art, des moeurs et de la législation (1804), livre dédié au tsar Alexandre Ier.
