Résumé:
''Transect urbanism: readings in human ecology'' is the definitive reference on the Rural-to-Urban Transect, a compilation of the most important essays, diagrams, and images on the subject. It provides historical, practical, and theoretical insights into one of the most effective urban planning methodologies developed in the 20th Century. The Transect is a unifying theory, serving as a framework for the various fields of urban design. The editors selected the most important previously published essays and commissioned preeminent academics and professionals to write on the use of the Transect in their areas of expertise, including retail, zoning, thoroughfare design, environmental sustainability, and philosophy. As diagrams and drawings are essential to the understanding and use of the Transect, this book also contains the most complete collection of Transect images ever published. ''Transect urbanism'' will serve as a primary reference source for academics, students, and practitioners interested in creating great places.

Résumé:
Leisure has a huge impact on European landscapes. Contemporary Western life has given rise to all sorts of mobilities, flexibilities and incentives that fuel the sometimes dramatic changes in the landscape we are witnessing today. Can the relationship between leisure and landscape be a productive one and, if so, under what conditions? This complex relationship was the subject of a European project, instigated by Dirk Sijmons, Dutch Government Advisor on Landscape, involving thirty universities from twenty countries. This book presents the resulting design proposals in facts, figures, essays, illustrations, bibliography, maps, and photography by Martin Parr.

Résumé:
This issue opens with an interview with Cassim Shepard in which he talks about creating a better general culture of understanding around architecture, urban design, and urban development issues by using all of the narrative tools we have at our disposal. For instance, collective walks through lost parts of cities, as suggested by Nick Dunn and Dan Dubowitz, or by observing people's stories and involving them in creative processes, depicted in Carolyn Drake's photo-essay. This can even change the urban dynamics, says Kathleen Gmyrek, thereby leading to participatory narratives, while OMA's Inge Goudsmit reminds us that architects are great storytellers, too.

This edition begins with a conversation with Pier Vittorio Aureli and MartinoTattara, the founders of Dogma, an architectural firm concerned with the relationship between architecture and the city. By focusing mostly on urban design and large-scale projects, they consult with municipalities and agencies for urban planning and architectural issues. Atypically, El Croquis is this time only featuring plans not yet constructed, including a model for a city of 4,000,000 Inhabitants, a proposal for 44 social housing units, and a prototype for boarding houses in London. Timely articles about urban transformation follow, including an interesting genealogy of housing for the laboring classes.

Résumé:
Maine-Montparnasse et la Défense sont des opération emblématiques représentatives de la nouvelle définition du rapport entre ville et architecture qui se met en place après la guerre. La concentration démographique, la décentralisation des industries et l'avènement du secteur tertiaire obligent à remodeler des structures urbaines inadaptées à la circulation, aux modes de déplacement et à la vitesse, préoccupations majeures des années 50. Cette nécessité de modernisation va de pair avec une montée de l'interventionnisme étatique qui a débuté sous le gouvernement de Vichy, en réaction à l'urbanisme incontrôlé de la périphérie parisienne. À partir de 1959, des plans directeurs successifs établissent les inventaires des opérations à entreprendre : destruction d'îlots insalubres, percement d'axes de circulation, remembrements. Cette politique, qui fait table rase du passé, trouve ses fondements aussi bien dans les thèses rationnalistes développées par Le Corbusier dans la Charte d'Athènes et dans les conclusions du rapport Buchanan pour Londres, que dans les projets utopiques d'Hugh Ferriss ou de Norman Bel Geddes. La dalle, sol artificiel maîtrisé par la technique, apparaît comme le socle idéal de la ville du futur. Des premiers dessins très schématiques, montrant les systèmes de circulation, sur lesquels les immeubles apparaissent de manière abstraite, aux réalisations du milieu des années 70, on voit à travers les phases successives de ces projets le concept d'une ville sur dalle naître, évoluer, puis disparaître, marquant la fin d'une époque optimiste où l'on croyait possible de modifier les conditions de la vie urbaine. Virginie Lefebvre, architecte, docteur en histoire de l'art est lecturer à la Graduate School of Design de l'Université de Harvard et membre du groupe de recherche sur l'architecture et les infrastructures (GRAI).
