Résumé:
The design of imaginary, conceptual, or radical buildings is as old as the practice of architecture itself. For centuries, architects such as Piranesi, Ledoux, and Sant'Elia have drawn on their creative abilities to produce breathtaking works of imagination. Since World War II, technology has caught up with our imagination: there are few buildings that can be envisioned but not built. For the past six decades, architects have created an astonishing range of constructs and urban utopias that have influenced generations of practitioners. Architects such as Libeskind, Koolhaas, Eisenman, Hadid, and many others, whose works were once considered too experimental or controversial to construct, are creating cultural icons the world over. This definitive history of experimental architecture since 1945 provides a thematic overview of the most important and far-reaching work produced in the last sixty years; a survey of contemporary experimental practices, shown through case studies; and an illustrated glossary of ideas, movements, people, and terms. 450+ illustrations, 250 in color.

Résumé:
In his thoughtful collection of essays on the relationship of architecture and the arts, Giuliana Bruno addresses the crucial role that architecture plays in the production of art and the making of public intimacy. As art melts into spatial construction and architecture mobilizes artistic vision, Bruno argues, a new moving space--a screen of vital cultural memory--has come to shape our visual culture. Taking on the central topic of museum culture, Bruno leads the reader on a series of architectural promenades from modernity to our times. Through these "museum walks," she demonstrates how artistic collection has become a culture of recollection, and examines the public space of the pavilion as reinvented in the moving-image art installation of Turner Prize nominees Jane and Louise Wilson. Investigating the intersection of science and art, Bruno looks at our cultural obsession with techniques of imaging and its effect on the privacy of bodies and space. She finds in the work of artist Rebecca Horn a notable combination of the artistic and the scientific that creates an architecture of public intimacy. Considering the role of architecture in contemporary art that refashions our "lived space"--and the work of contemporary artists including Rachel Whiteread, Mona Hatoum, and Guillermo Kuitca--Bruno argues that architecture is used to define the frame of memory, the border of public and private space, and the permeability of exterior and interior space. Architecture, Bruno contends, is not merely a matter of space, but an art of time.

Résumé:
Implanté au cœur du Palais-Royal depuis 1875, le Conseil d'État, institution en charge d'une double mission de conseil du gouvernement pour la rédaction des lois et règlements et de juge suprême en matière administrative, incarne la plus haute instance du pouvoir administratif. Si son rôle au sein de l'Etat n'est plus à découvrir, en revanche, la qualité architecturale de ses bâtiments et ses riches décors intérieurs demeurent souvent méconnus. De grands travaux de restauration entrepris de 1997 à 2005 sous l'impulsion du vice-président Renaud Denoix de Saint Marc et sous la direction d'Alain-Charles Perrot, architecte en chef des monuments historiques, à l'occasion du 200e anniversaire de la création du Conseil d'Etat moderne en 1799, ont révélé l'écrin dévolu à cette institution et ont restitué l'ensemble des salles dans leur disposition connue à la fin du XIXe siècle. Au-delà d'une étude historique savante et rigoureuse, " Le Conseil d'Etat au Palais-Royal " éclaire ces lieux d'une connaissance nouvelle et convie à leur découverte à travers le temps, depuis la fondation du palais par le cardinal Richelieu et la présence constante de la famille d'Orléans à l'installation du Conseil au cœur du Palais-Royal. Proues, figures ailées, trophées militaires, foudres et armes, allégories - sculptés par Augustin Pajou, Jean-Baptiste Defernex, Antonin Gérard - ornent les façades du Conseil d'État et témoignent de ce prestigieux passé. L'escalier d'honneur construit par Contant d'Ivry, les douze allégories des deux principaux ministères ou secrétariats d'Etat au début de la IIIe République réalisées par jules Élie Delaunay pour la salle d'assemblée générale tout comme les peintures d'Henri Martin illustrant " La France laborieuse se présentant devant le Conseil d'Etat ", mais aussi les œuvres d'Auburtin, Caffiéri, Chabrol, Couder, Denuelle, Klagmann sont autant de richesses insoupçonnées minutieusement dévoilées pour révéler le caractère majestueux des lieux.

Résumé:
To confront the Anthropocene, designers must increasingly move between scales and across disciplines to develop new structures of knowledge and tools of representation: from the embodied to the technical, the investigative to the projective. Ultimately, this volume asks: What stakes are embedded in contemporary architectural environmental media, and how are designers re-imagining this media landscape today? Chapters in the book explore counter-cartographies of migration and materials, forest ecologies and theories of abundance, hyperreal visualization and environmental simulation, architecture’s extractive and colonial systems, and pedagogies and practices for environmental futures. This book organizes these efforts into three threads of media practice: rendering visible, rendering sensible, and rendering actionable. While these categories are inextricably intertwined, they represent distinct tactical approaches to media production, each exploring possible methods to develop new knowledge systems, shift aesthetic regimes, and transform collective politics.
