Résumé:
Avec sa silhouette iconique de Babel des Temps modernes, on croit toujours se « souvenir » du Monument à la IIIe Internationale (1919-1920) de V. Tatline (1885-1953). Pourtant, notre esprit ne retient souvent de la « Tour Tatline » que la sculpture tirée d'un musée imaginaire, alors qu'il s'agit d'abord du modèle réduit d'une « anti-Tour Eiffel » non réalisée.

Résumé:
Avec sa silhouette iconique de Babel des Temps modernes, on croit toujours se « souvenir » du Monument à la IIIe Internationale (1919-1920) de V. Tatline (1885-1953). Pourtant, notre esprit ne retient souvent de la « Tour Tatline » que la sculpture tirée d'un musée imaginaire, alors qu'il s'agit d'abord du modèle réduit d'une « anti-Tour Eiffel » non réalisée. Bien plus élevée que les 160 m du treillis fuselé de la Tour TSF (1920-1922) de l'ingénieur-architecte V. Choukhov (1853-1939), les 400 m de contreplongées constructivistes auraient dû incarner un monument socialiste et une œuvre d'art cosmopolite totale, tour à tour promenade cinématique, centre d'émission radio et haut-parleur d'amplification de la voix de Moscou : à la ville et au monde prolétarien.

Résumé:
"The university is now on air, broadcasting modern architecture" examines a key experiment by The Open University to mobilize new media environments for distance and adult education. Eight episodes written by Joaquim Moreno, conversations with Tim Benton, Nick Levinson, Adrian Forty, Joseph Rykwert, and Stephen Bayley, and contributions by Nick Beech, Laura Carter, Ben Highmore, and Joseph Bedford, offer a close reading of the course A305, History of Architecture ad Design 1890-1939, which was taught through television and radio broadcasts, aired on the BBC between 1975 and 1982. As current models for producing and transmitting knowledge are being brought into question, "The university is now on air, broadcasting modern architecture" traces a radical attempt at rethinking the mandate of higher education through mass media.

Résumé:
"Design for Sports" covers a range of cultural issues: how development of sports technology has heightened the visibility of and participation in women's sports; sports subcultures, revealed through the graphics of athletic footwear; and how sports equipment allows for a new relationship with the natural world, as it replicates outdoor conditions inside the gym. The contributors include sports journalist Candace Lyle Hogan; Steven Skov Holt, former editor at I.D. Magazine and currently director of strategy at the firm frogdesign; and world-class swimmer, sports announcer, and National Public Radio columnist Diana Nyad.

Résumé:
''Credos'' is a series of exhibitions that started off as table-top group mini-exhibitions conceived for church-basement bazaars in Laval and Greater Montreal throughout 2019–20. The first two editions took place in different Armenian congregations in Laval. When the COVID-19 pandemic put subsequent Québec editions on hold, a version was transported to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and shown in the frame of the all-day public art festival ''Art in the Open'' in 2020. An 8-hour online radio program was broadcast alongside the tabletop displays. ''Credos IV'' is also a response to social distance, but at the same time a furthering of an inquiry into the substitutions and translations of an exhibition into non-gallery spaces.

Résumé:
Adapted from the successful BBC Radio 3 series, Cornerstones explores how different rock types give rise to their own distinct flora and fauna, and even affect the food we eat. Some of the authors express a sense of awe in the face of the abyss of time that is locked into the lie of the land, a sense that jostles up against our own fleeting encounters with it. For example, Sara Maitland tries to grasp the extraordinary journey through space and time that's been undertaken by Lewisian gneiss, one of the most ancient of rocks found in the UK, while Alan Garner captures the ways in which flint has enabled and accompanied human evolution, ever since our ancestors walked out of Africa with it, stone in hand.

Résumé:
Perspecta 51, ''Medium.'' Since the arrival of radio and television in the twentieth century, understandings of space have become visibly intertwined with what is commonly referred to as the media. But what is a medium? Dictionaries define ''medium'' as something in the middle, or, a means of conveyance, and this elemental understanding of medium has nourished early conversations of networks and cybernetics, as well as recent media theory. Yet today, midcentury architectural fictions and fantasies are reality—nomadic devices connect people, rooms, buildings, and cities to vast networks of data, capital, and energy; media are palpably enmeshed in the concrete built environment surrounding us. This volume of Perspecta takes a broad view of medium to take stock of and unpack unexpected relationships.

Résumé:
A fog of information and images has flooded the world: from advertising, television, radio, and film to the information glut produced by the new economy. With the rise of social networking, even our contemporaries, peers, and friends are all suddenly selling us the ultimate product: themselves. Here curator and critic Nato Thompson interrogates the implications of these developments for those dedicated to socially engaged art and activism. How can anyone find a voice and make change when the world is flooded with images and information? And what is one to make of the endless machine of consumer capitalism, which has appropriated much from the history of art and, in recent years, the methods of grassroots political organizing and social networking?

Vincent Josse est journaliste à Radio France. Chaque jour il emprunte le bus 72 à Paris, un trajet qui longe les monuments et les artères parmi les plus prestigieux de la capitale. Un parcours qui lui laisse le temps d'observer les passagers et même de les photographier : «Vieilles dames et vieux messieurs ont une place de choix dans ce qui, au fil des années, ressemble à une série riche d'une centaine d'images.» Ses photographies en couleurs racontent un Paris intempo. Paris rel où tissus, accessories et couvre-chefs composent un univers sociologique singulier. À quoi songent les voyageurs du bus 72 ? Dix auteurs de renom réinventent les vies de ces anonymes à partir des images de Vincent Josse, jouant le jeu de la fiction que suscitent, dans notre imaginaire, les passagers des transports en commun.

Résumé:
Offering new ways of thinking about our cities, Code and Clay, Data and Dirt goes far beyond the standard historical concepts of origins, development, revolutions, and the accomplishments of an elite few. Mattern shows that in their architecture, laws, street layouts, and civic knowledge—and through technologies including the telephone, telegraph, radio, printing, writing, and even the human voice—cities have long negotiated a rich exchange between analog and digital, code and clay, data and dirt, ether and ore. Mattern’s vivid prose takes readers through a historically and geographically broad range of stories, scenes, and locations, synthesizing a new narrative for our urban spaces. Taking media archaeology to the city’s streets, Code and Clay, Data and Dirt reveals new ways to write our urban, media, and cultural histories.

Résumé:
In this fanciful volume, Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, founder of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (O.M.A.), both analyzes and celebrates New York City. By suggesting the city as the site for an infinite variety of human activities and events--both real and imagined--the essence of the metropolitan lifestyle, its "culture of congestion" and its architecture are revealed in a brilliant new light. "Manhattan," Koolhaas writes, "is the 20th century's Rosetta stone . . . occupied by architectural mutations (Central Park, the Skyscraper), utopian fragments (Rockefeller Center, the U.N. Building), and irrational phenomena (Radio City Music Hall)." Filled with fascinating facts, as well as photographs, postcards, maps, watercolors, and drawings, the vibrancy of Koolhaas's poignant exploration of Gotham equals the heady, frenetic energy of the city itself. Revised and redesigned edition of this classic.
