En rassemblant textes scientifiques, artistiques, et critiques autour de la migration des plantes, cet ouvrage rejoint la discussion contemporaine entre arts et sciences : écrivains, penseurs et artistes y croisent et confrontent leurs regards en abordant des sujets tels que le brassage, le voyage, ou la migration. Quels mots, quels récits et quelles images pour parler des plantes qui prolifèrent, provoquant parfois des peurs de dépaysement et de perte de biodiversité? Les manières que nous avons d’appréhender ces mouvements végétaux font éclater au grand jour des enjeux esthétiques, éthiques et politiques, articulés autour de quatre axes : modalités, indisciplines végétales, ambiguïtés coloniales et postcoloniales et enfin sympoïèses*. L’adresse du livre est plurielle : lecteurs et lectrices sensibles aux mondes académiques, artistiques et du jardin pourront prendre la mesure de ce que peuvent nous dire et nous apprendre les plantes, entre enquêtes photographiques, textes, poèmes, illustrations et entretiens. Avec un préface par Gilles Clément.

Résumé:
Les frontières font débat en Europe : frontières extérieures de l'Union, frontières entre pays, parfois même frontières à l'intérieur de certains pays. Aussi, les discours sur les frontières abondent, pour en décrier l'archaïsme général ou en demander de plus efficaces, ou sur les frontières pertinentes à instaurer ; voire sur les liens entre travail de couture réalisé par les coopérations transfrontalières et besoin de barrières à renforcer sur les bordures externes... Pour les auteurs de ce livre, plutôt que de vivre l'après des frontières politiques, nous sommes face à un gigantesque chantier territorial. Des dynamiques fines et complexes se mettent en place à différents niveaux, retravaillant les échelles territoriales, bousculant des espaces frontaliers, questionnant les identités locales et nationales. Cet ouvrage examine ces processus de recomposition frontalière. Les diverses contributions analysent la morphologie, les acteurs de ces espaces, les définitions identitaires ainsi que les mobilités qui les fondent. Elles révèlent que les frontières internes de l'Europe sont aujourd'hui des laboratoires où s'inventent de nouvelles territorialités. Territorialités hybrides, mobiles et complexes, où se redéfinissent les fondements de l'unité, les identités et les différences. Des territorialités européennes actuelles qui font - aussi et nécessairement - avec les frontières.

Résumé:
This illustrated book looks at why the world's most interesting buildings are becoming the hottest destinations for today's travelers. In the last few decades architecture has become a major focus for travelers, rather than merely a part of a larger itinerary. Illustrated with nearly one hundred color photographs, this series of essays and contributions by scholars, critics, architects, and artists explores the role of architecture in the contemporary tourist imagination. From Mont Saint Michel and the Taj Mahal to Bilbao's Guggenheim museum and the Blur building in Switzerland's lake Neuchâtel, the authors focus on how certain iconic buildings have found their way into the cultural consciousness. At the same time they offer insights as to why other buildings, such as Minnesota's Mall of America and the faux architecture of Las Vegas, have become integral to their regions' tourist economy-and postulate how this success will influence architecture of the future.

Résumé:
In this book the cultural critic Marita Sturken argues that over the past two decades, Americans have responded to national trauma through consumerism, kitsch sentiment, and tourist practices in ways that reveal a tenacious investment in the idea of America’s innocence. Sturken investigates the consumerism that followed from the September 11th attacks; the contentious, ongoing debates about memorials and celebrity-architect designed buildings at Ground Zero; and two outcomes of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City: the Oklahoma City National Memorial and the execution of Timothy McVeigh. Sturken contends that a consumer culture of comfort objects such as World Trade Center snow globes, FDNY teddy bears, and Oklahoma City Memorial t-shirts and branded water, as well as reenactments of traumatic events in memorial and architectural designs, enables a national tendency to see U.S. culture as distant from both history and world politics. A kitsch comfort culture contributes to a “tourist” relationship to history: Americans can feel good about visiting and buying souvenirs at sites of national mourning without having to engage with the economic, social, and political causes of the violent events. While arguing for the importance of remembering tragic losses of life, Sturken is urging attention to a dangerous confluence—of memory, tourism, consumerism, paranoia, security, and kitsch—that promulgates fear to sell safety, offers prepackaged emotion at the expense of critical thought, contains alternative politics, and facilitates public acquiescence in the federal government’s repressive measures at home and its aggressive political and military policies abroad.

Résumé:
Since the invention of the car, the buildings that house them have been a source of inspiration and consternation to architects. Although many dreary car parks and garages do exist, the challenge of efficiently housing a maximum number of cars in a well-designed space has attracted a stellar array of contemporary architects. From the classic circular Marina City tower in Chicago to the Parcheggio Nuovo Salario under construction in Rome, from Frank Gehry to Rem Koolhaas to Zaha Hadid, the form and function of the parking garage have been hugely influential not only on contemporary architects but also on popular culture. This book is at once a survey of the finest examples of parking garages and a presentation of exciting and innovative design. An introduction covers the history and architectural significance of these buildings and their relevance today, and is followed by chapters that define the most influential aspects of parking design: elevations, materials, the use of light, and innovation and experimentation. Featuring detailed plans plus case studies of iconic buildings, this is an indispensable and inspirational resource for professional architects, engineers, urban planners, and developers. 300 illustrations and photographs, 150 in color.
