Résumé:
In 1971, at the height of the Vietnam War and at a time of great political and social instability, two of the world’s leading intellectuals, Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault, were invited by Dutch philosopher Fons Elders to debate an age-old question: is there such a thing as "innate" human nature independent of our experiences and external influences? The resulting dialogue is one of the most original, provocative, and spontaneous exchanges to have occurred between contemporary philosophers, and above all serves as a concise introduction to their basic theories. What begins as a philosophical argument rooted in linguistics (Chomsky) and the theory of knowledge (Foucault), soon evolves into a broader discussion encompassing a wide range of topics, from science, history, and behaviorism to creativity, freedom, and the struggle for justice in the realm of politics. In addition to the debate itself, this volume features a newly written introduction by Foucault scholar John Rajchman and includes substantial additional texts by Chomsky and Foucault.

Résumé:
Wind, water, fire and molten rock constantly tear apart and resculpt the natural world we live in, and people have always struggled to create structures that will permanently establish their existence on the land. For more than four decades, Frank Gohlke has committed his camera lens to documenting that fraught relationship between people and place, and this retrospective collection of his work by curator John Rohrbach reveals how people carve out their spaces, accommodating nature.

Résumé:
L’architecture de Maurice Sauzet s’est construite en dehors, si ce n’est à rebours de la pensée moderniste. Son vocabulaire, en harmonie avec l’homme et le paysage, puise au contraire dans le registre évanescent des émotions et des perceptions ; une orientation fondatrice qu’il doit à sa découverte, très tôt dans sa carrière, de l’architecture traditionnelle japonaise et de l’esprit du bouddhisme zen. Destiné à nourrir l’inspiration des architectes d’aujourd’hui, et propre à aider de futurs habitants à clarifier leurs désirs, cet ouvrage a été pensé comme un manuel, un outil concret au service d’une conception au diapason du monde. S’appuyant sur deux réalisations, une création et une rénovation de maisons, l’auteur y livre pas à pas les principes de sa pensée et sa méthode de travail. Au centre : la prise en compte des attentes de ceux qui y vivront, l’ajustement subtil au site de construction et, par-dessus tout, la recherche directrice de « prises sensibles ».

Résumé:
Recent years have seen the creation of many new parks, gardens, forests, and valleys where modern sculpture and nature form a special bond. Designed nature serves as an inspiring setting for artworks that in turn enliven and animate the vibrant tension between the artificial and natural aspects of the grounds. This guidebook presents some eighty parks from eighteen different European countries. Each park and the artworks in it are presented with photographs, plans, and texts. The parks include both classics like the Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul de Vence, which attracts more than two hundred thousand visitors a year, and the Louisiana Museum in Humlebaek as well as new parks like the Europos Parkas in Vilnius, Sculpture at Schoenthal in Switzerland, and the Österreichische Skulpturenpark in Graz.
