Résumé:
Le XIXe siècle finissant, en Grande-Bretagne, l’urgence se fait sentir d’une alternative à la ville industrielle, qui suffoque et se paupérise. Prend forme alors, dans l’esprit de l’urbaniste Ebenezer Howard, le concept de cité-jardin : une ville hors la ville qui renoue avec la nature et procure à ses habitants les conditions d’un bien-être individuel et collectif. Qu’en est-il aujourd’hui de ces ensembles de logements, hier fiertés nationales ? Adoptant tour à tour le point de vue de l’histoire, de l’expérience et de la prospective, une soixantaine de contributeurs internationaux dressent ici un état des lieux contrasté. S’il dénote une inquiétude manifeste quant au devenir des réalisations historiques, il témoigne aussi d’un véritable espoir : celui de voir renaître l’esprit des cités-jardins au sein d’un urbanisme contraint de se repenser face aux enjeux d’un monde en mutation.

Résumé:
Guided by three interviews with this master Japanese architect which allow for a substantially better understanding of his architectural approach and method, this survey examines a total of 38 different recent works, projects and competition entries, many of which are yet to be realised. Chronologically presented, the survey begins in 2003 with Kuma’s competition entry for the Nam June Paik Museum, South Korea and subsequently features such projects as: the Museum of Kanayama Castle Ruin and Kumonoueno Gallery, Japan; the Spiritual Centre of Chengdu and Sanlitun Soho, China; the Besançon City Arts and Cultural Center and the Marseille Regional Foundation of Contemporary Art, France and his competition entry for the Munch Museum and Sternersen Museum Collections in Norway.

Résumé:
Magnago Lampugani’s slender Fabrikstrasse 12 construction gleams in the rays of sunlight without any glare. The white Carrara marble, blue awnings and delicate window parapets radiate lightness and joie de vivre – a style which also infuses the Dodici – the restaurant included in the project, whose colour scheme, furnishings and wall’s hanging with old photographs, greet its guests. The architect’s refined design for the Novartis Campus which also includes office spaces is thoroughly examined here. Colour photographs are presented alongside detailed plans, elevations, and essays written by specialists on specific aspects of the building, including signage, building services and work places.

Résumé:
An A–Z glossary of utopian structures, zones and acts in art and beyond, Utopics is a guide to artistically “living otherwise”—whether through imaginative design solutions (Andrea Zittel, Lang & Baumann), artist republics (Ian Hamilton Finlay's Little Sparta, Robert Filliou's République Géniale), temporary utopias (Atelier Van Lieshout's AVL-Ville) or extraordinary spaces (James Turrell's Roden Crater) and situations (Rirkrit Tiravanija). Also itemized here are potentially utopian entities such as bees, islands and squats, plus more theoretical forays such as Rudolf Steiner's educational philosophy and Buckminster Fuller's utopian proposals. Sporting a wraparound poster dustjacket and bound in a glittering night-sky cloth, Utopics shows that by acts of creativity both intimate and epic, and by locating the nooks at the perimeters of society, the strictures of contemporary living can be fruitfully sabotaged.
