There has been a groundswell of interest in modernist architecture in recent years, particularly buildings from the second half of the twentieth century. Individuals and groups are engaging with modernist environments in the form of popular histories, documentaries and community projects, and digital and social media. Alongside this growing popularity however, many of these buildings are under threat from demolition and regeneration. "Modern futures" explores these trends, their connections, and how more popular and creative engagements might be used to inform the uncertain future of modernist architecture.

Résumé:
Déconstruction ? Le mot est à la mode mais n’est pas dépourvu d’ambiguïtés. Habillage euphémique d’une pratique ancienne, la démolition, dont la brutalité s’abat plus souvent qu’à leur tour sur les maisons du peuple, il sert aussi à désigner un ensemble de processus, a priori vertueux, de sauvegarde, tri et recyclage des matériaux. Derrière l’ambiguïté et les glissements de sens, il y a la réalité d’un outil de communication destiné à faire accepter des choix d’aménagement dont la finalité ultime reste la création ou la restauration de valeur foncière ou immobilière. Au rebours de cet exercice d’illusionniste, le présent ouvrage entend prendre le mot de déconstruction au sérieux. Les enjeux contemporains nous y invitent. Si l’horizon du présent et de l’avenir des villes reste indexé sur le récit enchanté (ou angoissant…) du devenir métropolitain, une autre réalité s’impose à bas bruit, celle de la décroissance démographique que la scénarisation parfois racoleuse du déclin des villes de la « Rust Belt » américaine contribue paradoxalement à occulter. Loin de constituer une exception spectaculaire, le rétrécissement urbain tend à discrètement se banaliser et à devenir l’ordinaire de nombre de villes de taille et de nature diverses. Dans ce contexte, la déconstruction entendue comme la réduction raisonnée du volume bâti, peut ouvrir sur l’opportunité de reconfigurer positivement des espaces urbains souvent hâtivement et négligemment construits, au bénéfice des habitants encore là. La déconstruction s’affirme alors comme une autre manière de faire la ville, soucieuse de la qualité de vie de ceux et celles qui l’habitent et la pratiquent quels qu’ils ou elles soient. Ce sont les perspectives de cette forme de réactualisation du droit à la ville que se propose d’explorer l’ouvrage en croisant les contributions des chercheuses et chercheurs avec les témoignages des acteurs/actrices et praticiennes et praticiens. Revisitant les démolitions de « tours et de barres HLM » au prisme de l’expérience des bailleurs sociaux en contexte détendu, explorant les choix et les logiques de quelques opérations pionnières dans l’urbain décroissant, portant un regard critique sur les limites et contraintes des pratiques de déconstruction raisonnée pour déboucher enfin sur la relation d’une expérience de mise en application de la réflexion sur la ville décroissante dans l’enseignement du projet, l’ouvrage entend entrainer ses lectrices et lecteurs sur les chemins incertains d’une manière inédite de penser et faire la ville, susceptible de répondre avec justice et justesse aux défis du monde qui vient.

Résumé:
In the popular imagination, the controversial 1963 demolition of Pennsylvania Station gave birth to New York City’s historic preservation movement. As the author reveals, however, historic preservation has been a persistent force in the development of New York since the 1890s, when the city’s leading politicians, planners, and architects first recognized the need to preserve the rapidly evolving city’s past. Rich with archival research, this book documents the emergence of historic preservation in New York at the turn of the twentieth century. Between 1890 and 1920, preservationists saved and restored buildings, parks, and monuments throughout the city’s five boroughs that represented continuity with the past.

In 1992 the Hotel Petra was set aside for later restoration, and from that moment essentially cut off from any human intervention.

Against all odds, the former World Trade Centre in Brussels is being repurposed in a previously unimaginable way.

And although the adaptive reuse of this building is unique, the underlying concepts and processes are not – a lesson on how not to demolish a building.

Learning from Hangzhou is an extended photoessay that situates Hangzhou within the physically and culturally transformative pressures of China's unbridled economic expansion. Between 2003 and 2008, more than 3,000 images of Hangzhou were taken, and then sorted for recurrent subject matter. This resulting condensed portrait catalogues such themes as the ubiquity of demolition and construction in Hangzhou, its architectural eclecticism, graffiti, advertising and the tenuous relationship between architecture and signage. This photo essay is accompanied by texts that explicate Hangzhou's emblematic role in China's larger transformations.
