Résumé:
Thomas Demand is known for his large-format photographic work. As the head designer of Dior Homme, Hedi Slimane revolutionized men’s fashion. He is also known for his work as an artist. Peter Saville wrote design history with his album covers for British bands such as Joy Division, New Order and Pulp, and with his work for fashion designers. Demand, Slimane, and Saville have all gone beyond the limitations of a single type of media to realize their ideas and visions. They discuss their work and motivation in a conversation in Berlin with the curator Hans Ulrich Obrist and the editor Cristina Bechtler, and also share their views on new forms of creativity, cross-border endeavors, fashion, architecture, photography, political art and many more subjects.

Résumé:
In moving freely among the public and private spheres, design forces us to ask whether the distinction we still draw between them adequately describes our world today. The authors assembled in this volume - including, among others, Bazon Brock, Gesche Joost, Uta Brandes, and Luigi Blau -reflect on this question and provide a wide array of insights into its answer.

Résumé:
The conditions in which present-day architecture is produced are partly local and singular and partly global and universal. Understanding contemporary architecture means understanding all of these aspects. What are the pivotal themes? Gert Wingårdh and Rasmus Wærn, Swedens most active architect and its best-known architecture critic, asked themselves this question and made a selection of approximately fifty terms and concepts, including Branding, Collaborators, Corporate, Desire, Future, Everyday, Ornament, and Wheelchair. The result is a very special dictionary with humorous illustrations and original articles by interesting protagonists such as Denise Scott Brown, Kenneth Frampton, Massimiliano Fuksas, Hans Ibelings, Peter Blundell Jones, Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Juhani Pallasmaa, Joseph Rykwert, Jaime Salazar, Axel Sowa, and Wilfried Wang. A special highlight is the text by Nobel laureate Ohran Pamuk.

Résumé:
En tant que thème significatif de l'urbanisme contemporain, le lieu de passage nécessite une étude détaillée des exemples les plus brillants. Un lieu où les gens affluent pour voir et être vus, le passage est le point de rencontre par lequel l'identité d'une société doit se réaffirmer de manière quotidienne. L'oubli de cet ingrédient n'a fait que mettre en évidence le besoin social d'espaces publics éloignés de l'image de la station service. Ainsi se produit l'engrenage des tendances plus actuelles de l'urbanisme contemporain avec une tradition urbaine enracinée, dans le contexte vibrant d'un nouveau terrain conceptuel. Riche en projets documentés en détails avec des photographies en couleurs grand format, des esquisses, des plans et des textes explicatifs apportés par les architectes des projets sélectionnés, ce livre répond aux besoins de l'architecte professionnel comme du passionné, leur permettant d'acquérir la dernière mise à jour de l'information sur la gestion des espaces publics aussi bien en milieu urbain qu'en milieu rural.

Résumé:
"Spaces of Uncertainty" is a publication on issues of contemporary urban space, from the particular view of two young architects, Kenny Cupers and Markus Miessen. Their photographic and theoretic research constitutes a double movement, which opens up the traditional architectural gaze towards the social spectrum of urban spaces, while simultaneously offering an original theory of contemporary cultural practice. The issue of public space is one that crosses interdisciplinary boundaries and attracts high interest in the fields of architecture, urbanism, sociology and cultural studies. With Berlin as a case study for a globalised urban condition, the publication aims at a wide international public by providing a broadly conceived theory that approaches the city at the same time as a material phenomenon and as a social and philosophical idea. Public space in its traditional interpretations is unable to follow the heartbeat of today's rapidly changing city. Instead of adding force to an ongoing rhetorical discourse of loss, this publication acknowledges the existence of places beyond traditional definition. With a photographic essay on Berlin, it opens an unexpectedly contemporary view upon this agitated debate. Left with enormous amounts of infill and fallow land, Berlin is a city in which residual space and public space lose their definitions. As playgrounds for micro-political activities, permanent hiding-places or areas for temporary occupation, its residual spaces prove their necessity. Shy and unassuming, these very spaces of uncertainty show their value for public life in the contemporary city. With contributions by Margaret Crawford, Hilde Heynen, Paul Davies, Paul Halliday and Jürgen Mayer H.

Résumé:
Best defined as the art of shaping the built environment, urban design seeks to understand and analyze the variety of forces—social, economic, cultural, legal, ecological, and aesthetic—that affect how we live. The complex challenges facing cities today—scarcity of resources, growing economic divisions, and rampant sprawl, among others—are forcing a reconsideration of urban design. New Urbanism, a leading movement within urban design, advocates a return to small-town urban forms: human-scale, pedestrian-friendly streets, a reinvigoration of cities, and a stop to suburban sprawl. This new volume, drawing on a conference and debates at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, comprehensively examines New Urbanism today and speculates about it’s future. With contributions from Christopher Alexander, Leon Krier, Peter Hall, Andrés Duany, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, Jeff Speck, William McDonough, Peter Calthorpe, Jan Gehl, Lars Lerup, Edward Soja, and Saskia Sassen, among others, New Urbanism and Beyond is both a comprehensive primer on urban design and a provocation for practitioners, historians, and citizens everywhere.

Résumé:
"Racaille !" : un mot du ministre de l'Intérieur, que pourtant les jeunes des banlieues s'appliquent par dérision à eux-mêmes, a suffi pour provoquer trois semaines d'émeutes en novembre 2005. Jacques Donzelot tente de comprendre comment on en est arrivés là. Il rappelle comment les banlieues ont été conçues, dans les années 1950, lorsqu'on a voulu moderniser la société par l'urbain en construisant des grands ensembles offrant à tous les mêmes conditions d'hygiène et de confort. Comment ce rêve s'est effondré dans les années 1970, quand ces "cités" sont devenues synonymes de relégation pour les plus pauvres. Comment la politique de la ville a ensuite échoué dans sa prétention à transformer cette situation. Parce qu'elle s'est plus préoccupée de transformer les lieux que d'accroître la "capacité de pouvoir" des individus dans leur vie. Parce qu'elle s'emploie vainement à imposer une mixité sur place plutôt qu'à faciliter la mobilité sociale de tous dans la ville. Parce qu'elle prend appui sur le pouvoir des élus locaux plutôt que de travailler à créer une démocratie à l'échelle de l'agglomération.

De plus, l'engouement, que caractérise les jardins, les forêts, les rivières, le littoral, la montagne, les animaux sauvages et domestiques, est un véritable phénomème de la société. Le colloque sur les paysages à l'époque moderne, qui a eu lieu les 16 et 17 janvier 2004, s'inscrit dans ce courant et s'interroge sur la réalité de ce qu'ils pouvaient représenter dans les périodes anciennes.
