Résumé:
Fiscal crises have cascaded across much of the developing world with devastating results, from Mexico to Indonesia, Russia and Argentina. The extreme volatility in contemporary political economic fortunes seems to mock our best efforts to understand the forces that drive development in the world economy. David Harvey is the single most important geographer writing today and a leading social theorist of our age, offering a comprehensive critique of contemporary capitalism. In this book, he shows the way forward for just such an understanding, enlarging upon the key themes in his recent work: the development of neoliberalism, the spread of inequalities across the globe, and ‘space’ as a key theoretical concept.

Résumé:
"Il y a toujours cette impression de ne pas être bien formé et que l'école ne sert à rien. Pourtant en entrant dans la vie c'est la découverte de ce qui a été appris et ce que l'on aurait aimé apprendre. C'est aussi le regret de ne pas avoir assez profité de l'école, de cette chance d'avoir été jeune et que tout était possible. Le premier projet que j'aurais aimé faire c'est l'école que je n'ai pas eue... Je reste sur cette frustration d'un enseignement centré sur l'acquisition des savoirs et non de la compréhension des choses. J'ai tenté d'apprendre à vivre dans le monde en construisant des situations pour mettre à l'épreuve le réel, faire apparaître ce que les choses ont à nous dire, révéler ce qui est caché en nous, c'est la seule chose qui m'intéresse. Faire de l'architecture sans à priori, laisser venir l'inattendu, faire de toutes petites choses, en totale liberté. Elle pourrait être le résultat d'un acte non prévu, l'expression chargée de sens et non une forme préétablie, produire une architecture inconnue, reflet d'une imagination sociale perdue. Elle pourrait d'ailleurs ne jamais venir. Elle devrait être l'architecture du désaccord, de la solidarité, de l'hospitalité, de la liberté de penser et de faire. Il n'y aurait pas de projet défini mais un travail commun de construction d'une situation concrète. Participer à une construction avec un idéal de composer ensemble le monde dans lequel nous vivons. Construire en habitant, habiter en construisant, c'est le principe de la vie. On ne sait pas bien pourquoi on est là, tout a déjà été fait, il n'y a plus rien à faire si ce n'est VIVRE ENSEMBLE, tout est là."

In ''Ugliness and Judgment,'' Timothy Hyde considers the role of aesthetic judgment and its concern for uglines in architectural debates and their resulting social effects across three centuries of British architectural history. From eighteenth-century ideas about Stonehenge to Prince Charles' opinions about the National Gallery, Hyde uncovers a new story of aesthetic judgment, where arguments about architectural ugliness do not pertain solely to buildings or assessments of style, but intrude into other spheres of civil society.

Architecture has a strong pragmatic strand, not least as we think of building users, architecture as a practice, the practical demands of building, and utility. Peirce's commitment to logic led(...)

Résumé:
Ideas gain legitimacy as they are put to some practical use. A study of Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) supports this pragmatism as a way of thinking about truth and meaning. Architecture has a strong pragmatic strand, not least as we think of building users, architecture as a practice, the practical demands of building, and utility. Peirce's commitment to logic led him to investigate the basic elements of logical statements, notably the element of the sign. His best-known contribution to design revolves around his intricate theory of semiotics, the science of signs. The study of semiotics divided around the 1980s between advocates of Peirce's semiotics, and the broader, more politically charged field of structuralism. The latter has held sway in architectural discourse since the 1980s. Why this happened and what we gain by reviving a Peircean semiotics is the task of this book.

Résumé:

From ailing families seeking a miracle climate cure to iconoclasts and dropouts pursuing a remedy to societal corruption, the abundance of sunshine and untamed nature around the small but growing Los Angeles area offered them refuge and inspiration. In the wild west of medical practice, eclectic nature-cure treatments gained popularity. The source for this trend can be traced to the mountains and cold-water springs of Europe, where early sanatoriums were built to offer the natural cures of sun, air, water and diet; this sanatorium architecture was exported to the West Coast from Central Europe, and began to impact other types of building.

How can we decode statues and their languages, their objecthood and materiality, their role as media icons and their voice in political debates? The book responds to urgent concerns about the representation of our heritage by not only asking us to examine what history gets put on a pedestal, but also to consider the visual rhetoric of the statue itself.
