Résumé:
Cities such as New York, Almere and Melbourne where once created behind a drawing table and delivered in a new condition, according to the master-plan. Yet from the moment that people started to occupy these places, the design has changed with substantial additions and alterations. Can architects and city-planners anticipate unplanned activities, contributions from citizens, along with changing political, economic and cultural conditions? The International New Town Institute (INTI) situated in the young Dutch town of Almere, conducts research into the development of new towns. In this book the institute searches for the relationships between planned and un-planned cities.

Qu’est-ce qu’un grand projet urbain ? Quelles sont ses conditions d’implantation et ses répercussions sur la ville ? Comment en mesurer les retombées économiques, ou comprendre les relations complexes qui s’établissent entre les entrepreneurs immobiliers et les collectivités qui les accueillent ? Avec plusieurs exemples de grands projets immobiliers et patrimoniaux à Montréal et dans le monde – et à travers un large spectre disciplinaire incluant l’architecture et l’urbanisme, bien sûr, mais aussi la géographie, l’histoire, la politique et l’économie –, cet ouvrage aborde trois grands thèmes : les acteurs, leur discours et leurs représentations ; le design et l’attractivité ; le développement urbain.

Résumé:
Un-volumetric architecture expresses a new condition acquired in dealing with and designing open and public space from the nineties to today. This volume is therefore intended to offer a theoretical reflection conducted through 100 construction projects worldwide that have faced the difficult challenge of delineating and building a new identity for that transient and continually metamorphosing category that is the contemporary open space. The considerable creative freedom, the low budget, the sophisticated relationship with the landscape and geography, the dialogue with new metropolitan realities, the possibility of offering temporary solutions, all make these projects among the richest, freest and most stimulating collections currently available, through the work of major protagonists and many emerging authors on the international scene. The volume is divided into 10 sections: Surfaces, Vertical, Enclosures, Design, Shelters, Environment, Earthworks, Figures, Technique and Events, which attempt to accompany the reader around a complex world of solutions and projects ranging from the traditional public space to the landscape, from the rock concert to the provisional space for cultural and artistic events, from the design of infrastructures to the most sophisticated garden. Each section is introduced by a small essay, written by such important authors on the contemporary scene as Denise Scott Brown, James Wines, Pippo Ciorra, Wes Jones, Enrico Morteo, Alberto Ferlenga, Ilhyun Kim, Kengo Kuma, Arie Graafland, Juan Purcell and Bernardo Secchi, who attempt to tackle the theme of the contemporary open space, offering stimuli for theoretical reflection.

Résumé:
Envisioned as a new urban model for sculpture parks, the Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park is located on the city’s last undeveloped waterfront property—a nine-acre industrial site sliced by train tracks and an arterial road. New York–based architecture, landscape, and urban design firm Weiss/Manfredi has created a continuous constructed landscape for art that rises over the existing infrastructure to reconnect Seattle’s urban core to the revitalized waterfront. The park not only brings art outside the museum walls but also brings the park itself into the landscape of the city. This study offers an opportunity to take a fresh look at the city and explore some hypotheses about the wider meaning of an urban design project.

Résumé:
Current policies in planning emphasise the importance of rejuvenating neighbourhoods. This guide seeks to bridge the gap between rhetoric and reality, promoting an interprofessional and collaborative approach to making localities work. The objective is to design neighbourhoods that are healthy, safe, friendly and attractive for residents and users, whilst being more self-sustaining in terms of water, energy, local services and work. Social inclusion, accessibility and the quality of the public realm will be central tenets. The guide is distinctive in showing not only what should be done but also how it could be done. The book provides a practical guide with illustrations and case studies.

Résumé:
As the global economy has changed over the past decades, it has left an architectural legacy of abandoned factories, warehouses and docks in its wake. But these spaces need not remain empty; the history of post-industrial society is still being written. All over the world, abandoned industrial infrastructure is being creatively repurposed. RE–USA provides a toolkit for adaptive reuse grounded in practical examples. Cities and cases are selected to illustrate the power of innovative processes and projects based on private-public partnerships, bottom-up initiatives, community involvement and smart design despite difficult conditions, from declining demography to weak real estate values and scarce investment.

Michael Sorkin is one of the most forthright and engaging architectural writers in the world. In « What Goes Up » he takes to task the public officials, developers, “civic” organizations, and other heroes of big money, who have made of Sorkin’s beloved New York a city of glittering towers and increasing inequality. He unpacks not simply the forms and practices—from zoning and political deals to the finer points of architectural design—that shape cities today but also offers spirited advocacy for another kind of city, reimagined from the street up on a human scale, a home to sustainable, just, and fulfilling neighborhoods and public spaces.

Résumé:
Infrastructural Monument presents the proceedings of the first of two conferences organized by MIT's new Center for Advanced Urbanism around the biennial theme of infrastructure. Held in the spring of 2013, the "Infrastructural Monument" conference gathered designers, developers, policy experts, and scholars to address the potential to leverage infrastructure design beyond the realm of transportation of goods and labor into the realm of culture, public space, architecture, and landscape form. In other words, can infrastructure transcend mere practicality and fulfill a role that is profoundly cultural? Can targeted infrastructure projects transform a city from a collection of fragments to one with a common and cohesive regional identity?

Il essaie de transmettre ce combat tant par son oeuvre que par son activité d'enseignant, se fondant sur un credo généreux: «Aucun territoire n'est désespéré». Le livre est également consacré à quatre figures majeures de l'urbanisme en France: les architectes urbanistes François Grether, David Mangin et Nicolas Michelin et l'aménageur Laurent Théry.
