Résumé:
Avec la mondialisation, nous voilà projetés dans l'" après-ville ", dans le " post-urbain ". En Europe, nous étions habitués à voir la ville comme un espace circonscrit dans lequel se déroule une vie culturelle, sociale et politique rendant possible une intégration civique des individus...

Avec la mondialisation, nous voilà projetés dans l'" après-ville ", dans le " post-urbain ". En Europe, nous étions habitués à voir la ville comme un espace circonscrit dans lequel se déroule une vie culturelle, sociale et politique rendant possible une intégration civique des individus... Nous voici maintenant confrontés d'un côté à des métropoles gigantesques et sans limites, et de l'autre au surgissement d'entités globales, en réseau, coupées de leur environnement. La reconfiguration en cours suscite l'inquiétude : allons-nous assister au déclin irrémédiable des valeurs urbaines qui ont accompagné l'histoire européenne ? La fragmentation et l'étalement chaotique vont-ils inéluctablement l'emporter ? Sommes-nous condamnés à regretter la palis grecque, la ville de la Renaissance, le Paris des Lumières, les grandes villes industrielles du XIX° siècle ? En rappelant les éléments distinctifs qui composent l'expérience urbaine, Olivier Mongin pose les fondements d'urne réflexion d'aujourd'hui sur la condition urbaine. Nous vivons à une époque où l'information s'échange immatériellement selon des flux plutôt que dans des lieux : comment, dans ces conditions, refonder des lieux urbains accordés à notre temps ?

Résumé:
This urban research project examines the often overlooked areas known as "barrios," "shantytowns," or "slums" and assesses their validity as an architectural phenomenon in their own right. The hills outside Caracas are dotted with transient, dilapidated structures which are home to thousands of people who create their own socio-economic environment, one which has a unique place in the city's infrastructure. This publication can be understood as a handbook of informal urban and cultural practice. Its validity extends far beyond Caracas and encompasses nearly all Latin American metropolises. Its essays question the value of traditional Western-style socio-economic and socio-political structures, present a new form of urbanism as a subject for discussion, and show the need for a profound change in our understanding of urban culture, especially in today's era, which is characterized by increasing insecurity and uncertainty. This project was jointly initiated by the "Federal Cultural Foundation" of Germany and the "Urban Think Tank" in Caracas, Venezuela.

"Downtown America" was once the vibrant urban center romanticized in the Petula Clark song-a place where the lights were brighter, where people went to spend their money and forget their worries.

Résumé:
"Downtown America" was once the vibrant urban center romanticized in the Petula Clark song-a place where the lights were brighter, where people went to spend their money and forget their worries. But in the second half of the twentieth century, "downtown" became a shadow of its former self, succumbing to economic competition and commercial decline. And the death of Main Streets across the country came to be seen as sadly inexorable, like the passing of an aged loved one. "Downtown America" cuts beneath the archetypal story of downtown's rise and fall and offers a new story of urban development in the United States. Moving beyond conventional narratives, Alison Isenberg shows that downtown's trajectory was not dictated by inevitable free market forces or natural life-and-death cycles. Instead, it was the product of human actors-the contested creation of retailers, developers, government leaders, architects, and planners, as well as political activists, consumers, civic clubs, real estate appraisers, even postcard artists. Throughout the twentieth century, conflicts over downtown's mundane conditions-what it should look like and who should walk its streets-pointed to fundamental disagreements over American values. Isenberg reveals how the innovative efforts of these participants infused Main Street with its resonant symbolism, while still accounting for pervasive uncertainty and fears of decline. Readers of this work will find anything but a story of inevitability. Even some of the downtown's darkest moments-the Great Depression's collapse in land values, the rioting and looting of the 1960s, or abandonment and vacancy during the 1970s-illuminate how core cultural values have animated and intertwined with economic investment to reinvent the physical form and social experiences of urban commerce. "Downtown America"-its empty stores, revitalized marketplaces, and romanticized past-will never look quite the same again.

Résumé:
"Two minds" is a major volume exploring and critiquing the subject of collaboration between artists and architects. Interest and activity in this field is growing rapidly, making this book a timely consideration of an important phenomenon. The book documents 18 projects funded through the RSA Art for Architecture scheme and focuses on work by internationally renowned figures such as Mark Dion, Chris Ofili, David Adjaye and Herzog & de Meuron, alongside that of emerging practitioners. As well as containing in depth case studies, "Two minds" features commissioned essays by Philip Ursprung and Cara Mullio which explore key issues surrounding collaborative practice. A range of topics are discussed, including the high level of support for art and architecture schemes in German speaking areas of Europe, the recent move of many so-called ‘gallery’ artists into the public domain and new ways of working that are opened up through collaboration.

Nobel gathers the huge cast of players at war with one another: real estate developers; grieving families; ambitious politicians; and most of all the architects, in the national spotlight as never before, charged with satisfying impossible demands and reconciling a sacred zone with daily life. By turns tragic and comic, "Sixteen acres" is a riveting story of high culture and low dealings, confronting the essential questions: Can buildings provide meaning? Are modern architects up to the job? What are the limits of architecture?

C'est l'événement du 11 Septembre qui ouvre ce dialogue sur cette interrogation béante face à laquelle cela nous a laissé : à quelle destruction avons nous assisté ce jour-là ? Est-ce la fin d'un monde, et de quel monde ? L'un propose, l'autre répond, le premier reprend, le second argumente. Peut-on penser sans le langage ? Pourquoi, comment a-t-on inventé la rue ? le café ? la place ? Comment Apollinaire et Picasso se sont-ils rencontrés ? Qu'est-ce qu'un rêve prémonitoire pour un écrivain ? pour un architecte ? La musique est-elle de même essence que l'architecture ? C'est Hélène Bleskine qui a pensé, originellement, à cette rencontre, et son introduction permet aussi de comprendre pourquoi ces deux-là devaient nécessairement se rencontrer, et pourquoi Philippe Sollers et Christian de Portzamparc, qu'ils évoquent la Chine ou les tours de New York ont en commun plus qu'une langue... un espace poétique.

Working collaboratively for the past ten years, Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber focus on the field of architecture and urbanism, exploring the conditions of urban life in relation to the distribution of power. They investigate the possibility of visually interpreting and critically commenting on urban and architectural structures in terms of their potential for extensive social change. In "Caracas, Hecho en Venezuela" Bitter and Weber question the way in which the modernist promise of shaping the city and social space has been transformed due to shifts in urban, national, and global economies and politics. They examine how architecture, urban structures and entire territories in Caracas have been appropriated, "reterritorialized", and transformed by the people who live in them.
