From the seventeenth century until today, the "modern" has served as a key category by which to understand an ever-changing present. Art and architecture have played a key role in this pursuit, as the means by which "the modern" was to manifest itself.

Résumé:
From the seventeenth century until today, the "modern" has served as a key category by which to understand an ever-changing present. Art and architecture have played a key role in this pursuit, as the means by which "the modern" was to manifest itself. The essays in this new anthology trace the modern project through its multifarious manifestation in order to understand contemporary culture in a deeper sense than discussions of "modernism" and "post modernism" usually offer. Drawing on architectural and urban history as well as philosophy and sociology, the book outlines the complex and conflicting roots of modernity by tracing its manifestations in architecture and the city.

Résumé:
Catastrophes, bombed-out cities, large-scale political transformations: “Image complexes” of humanitarian and ecological upheaval document the world as a sequence of catastrophes. But who decides how events are presented, determines the resolution of our visual worlds, and controls the circulation or censorship of images? Eyal and Ines Weizman trace the history of the before-and-after image from nineteenth-century photography to contemporary satellite images and discover a gap that not only conceals the devastating event: it is the human subject itself that is in danger of disappearing from the images. Does humanitarian work, the documentation and reconstruction of war crimes, in which people’s fates and rights should be at the center of attention, paradoxically enter a post-human phase? How can the gap between images become a site of critical counter-reading rather than a symbol of erasure? In the context of their current research, Eyal and Ines Weizman discuss the history, present, and future of the paradigm of the before-and-after image in an exclusive conversation with Marie Glassl.

Résumé:
Au Japon, la grande gare ferroviaire cristallise de multiples enjeux de la fabrique et du renouvellement des métropoles. Cet ouvrage se concentre sur la généalogie de cet équipement, du point de vue de ses mutations architecturales et urbaines dans le contexte d’une modernité désirée ou éprouvée. À l’appui de nombreux exemples illustrés, il vise à donner des clés de compréhension d’une forme de centralité singulière, qui allie activité et mouvement et constitue un repère structurant du paysage urbain nippon. L’originalité de ce modèle provient de la persistance, réelle ou mentale, de schémas traditionnels de pensée et pratique de la ville, au sein d’un processus de réinvention et de reconstruction permanent. Matérialisation spatiale du thème de la connexion, la grande gare japonaise marque aussi réflexions et opérations à grande échelle. La relecture d’un ensemble de projets d’architectes japonais pour Tokyo, laboratoire des années de forte croissance, décrypte cette même approche conjuguée de l’architecture des déplacements.

Résumé:
In ''On Bramante,'' architect Pier Paolo Tamburelli considers the work of the celebrated Italian Renaissance architect Donato Bramante and through this reappraisal suggests a possible agenda for current architectural practice. Bramante, Tamburelli argues, offers an excellent starting point to imagine a contemporary theory of space, to reflect on the relationship between architecture and politics, and to look back—with neither nostalgia nor contempt—at the tradition of Western classicism. Starting from a discussion of the difference in the work of Bramante in Milan (1481–1499) and Rome (1499–1514), Tamburelli highlights the peculiarities of Bramante’s architecture, especially in comparison to that of his predecessor Leon Battista Alberti and successor Andrea Palladio. This in turn opens up new possibilities for appreciating his spatial experiments, and to derive from Bramante’s abstraction and disassociation of form from function a revised theory of space for contemporary architecture. Such a theory might even advance a newfound political understanding of classicism, and a model—perhaps more valid now than ever before—for a public architecture.

Résumé:
This text forms a critical appraisal of the place and direction of architecture and urban design in a new world order at the start of the 21st century. It defines architectural and environmental goals for the New Age by analysing recent contemporary work for its responsiveness to important social and environmental issues and comparing it to successful precedents in architecture. It argues that this new sustainable approach to architecture should be recognised as a new development of mainstream architectural history. Environmental economics is presented as a potential bridge over the divide between the expectations of the business sector and the concerns of environmental lobbies. Through examples and case studies, an accessible analysis of carefully researched data, drawn from primary sources over four continents, allows the author to outline the current urgency for architects and urban designers to respond with real commitment to current and future changing contexts. International case studies from Europe, North America, the developing world including South Africa, South America and Central Asia are included.
