C’est au contact de cette génération talentueuse, dont il fait partie, que Vittorio Gregotti écrira son livre le plus connu : Le territoire de l’architecture. Un texte important, savant, mais aussi difficile, fragmenté, et rendu presque inaccessible au lecteur français par l’insuffisance de sa seule traduction. Jacques Boulet, transposant en architecture un statut du texte que l’historien de l’art Julius von Schlosser définissait par Kunstlitteratur, nous en livre ici, en hommage à Vittorio Gregotti, une lecture utile en “opera aperta”, écrite en 2000 et non publiée, qui pose l’hypothèse, chez l’architecte italien, d’une écriture analogue à la projetation.

"Translating: Architecture / Traduire : Architecture" explores the diversity of contemporary notions of architecture through the tool of translation. As a mediator between cultural differences and an instrument of resistance to dominant narratives, translation invites us to renew architectural discourse by opening up to multiple frames of reference. To this end, twenty-five architects from around the world were invited to write, in their own language, a short essay on their view of architecture. Translated into French and English, these contributions are accompanied by commentaries from the translators, together revealing frictions, gaps, and discoveries inherent to the act of translation.

Géomorphologue, ethno-géographe, auteur des Derniers rois de Thulé et fondateur de la collection « Terre humaine », il a fait de l'Arctique bien plus qu'un terrain d'étude : un lieu de révélation, de pensée et de création.Inua - terme qui désigne, chez les Inuit, l'esprit qui réside en chaque être et la part humaine de l'âme animale - invite à entrer dans l'univers de Malaurie. À travers ses textes, ses carnets, ses pastels, les objets qu'il a rassemblés et les témoignages de celles et ceux qui l'ont accompagné, se dessine une oeuvre totale, traversée par le sacré, le visible et l'invisible, la matière minérale et la présence des esprits.Réunissant des écrits majeurs, des pages inédites, des témoignages, des photographies et des pièces provenant des collections confiées par Malaurie à l'institut océanographique / Fondation Albert Ier, Prince de Monaco, ce livre révèle la dimension profondément créatrice d'une pensée qui, pendant plus de soixante-dix ans, n'a cessé d'interroger le lien connaturel entre les humains, les animaux, les peuples du Grand Nord et les mondes qu'ils habitent.

Historian Max Page argues that New York City, at the early part of the 20th century, was dominated by the politics of destruction and rebuilding. He examines the dichotomies inherent in the label "creative destruction", itself an oxymoron of sorts. The book is well illustrated with vintage photographs, drawings, and paintings.

Résumé:
"Suspensions of Perception" is a major historical study of human attention and its volatile role in modern Western culture. It argues that the ways in which we intently look at or listen to anything result from crucial changes in the nature of perception that can be traced back to the second half of the nineteenth century. Focusing on the period from about 1880 to 1905, Jonathan Crary examines the connections between the modernization of subjectivity and the dramatic expansion and industrialization of visual/auditory culture. At the core of his project is the paradoxical nature of modern attention, which was both a fundamental condition of individual freedom, creativity, and experience and a central element in the efficient functioning of economic and disciplinary institutions as well as the emerging spaces of mass consumption and spectacle. Crary approaches these issues through multiple analyses of single works by three key modernist painters--Manet, Seurat, and Cézanne--who each engaged in a singular confrontation with the disruptions, vacancies, and rifts within a perceptual field. Each in his own way discovered that sustained attentiveness, rather than fixing or securing the world, led to perceptual disintegration and loss of presence, and each used this discovery as the basis for a reinvention of representational practices. Suspensions of Perception decisively relocates the problem of aesthetic contemplation within a broader collective encounter with the unstable nature of perception--in psychology, philosophy, neurology, early cinema, and photography. In doing so, it provides a historical framework for understanding the current social crisis of attention amid the accelerating metamorphoses of our contemporary technological culture.

Résumé:
The dominant architectures in our culture of development consist of generic protocols for building offices, airports, houses, and highways. For Keller Easterling these organizational formats are not merely the context of design efforts. They are the design. Bridging the gap between architecture and infrastructure, Easterling views architecture as part of an ecology of interrelationships and linkages, and she treats the expression of organizational character as part of the architectural endeavor. Easterling also makes the case that these organizational formats are improvisational and responsive to circumstantial change, to mistakes, anomalies, and seemingly illogical market forces. By treating these irregularities opportunistically, she offers architects working within the customary development protocols new sites for making and altering space. By showing the reciprocal relations between systems of thinking and modes of designing, Easterling establishes unexpected congruencies between natural and built environments, virtual and physical systems, highway and communication networks, and corporate and spatial organizations. She frames her unconventional notion of site not in terms of singular entities, but in terms of relationships between multiple sites that are both individually and collectively adjustable.

Résumé:
Picking up where his best-selling City of Bits left off, Mitchell argues that we must extend the definitions of architecture and urban design to encompass virtual places as well as physical ones, and interconnection by means of telecommunication links as well as by pedestrian circulation and mechanized transportation systems. He proposes strategies for the creation of cities that not only will be sustainable but will make economic, social, and cultural sense in an electronically interconnected and global world. The new settlement patterns of the twenty-first century will be characterized by live/work dwellings, 24-hour pedestrian-scale neighborhoods rich in social relationships, and vigorous local community life, complemented by far-flung configurations of electronic meeting places and decentralized production, marketing, and distribution systems. Neither digiphile nor digiphobe, Mitchell advocates the creation of e-topias--cities that work smarter, not harder.
