Les propos des trois "nominés" - François Ascher, socio-économiste, enseignant et chercheur, Nicolas Michelin, architecte urbaniste, et Laurent Théry, directeur général de la Samoa, société d'aménagement de la métropole Ouest-Atlantique - nous offrent des réflexions fortes et engagées pour agir en faveur d'une ville vivante, renouvelée et porteuse d'avenir.

Dans la redéfinition romantique du sublime comme expérience, les lieux communs du sublime naturel - puissance chaotique (le volcan, la cataracte, l’orage ou la tempête) ou représentation de l’infini (Dieu, la mer, la montagne) - deviennent des paysages de magnificence (nature sauvage et paysage grandiose), mais également des espaces de négativité où le paysage s’accomplit(...)

Le paysage sublime trouve son écho dans l’âme du personnage, et notamment dans la figure du héros romantique en quête d’une liberté indéterminée et inconditionnée. Au sein de cette grande nature démesurée, l’homme romantique se définit comme élan génial et enthousiaste, comme révolte ou comme renoncement (abnégation, résignation, repentir).

Résumé:
What is the role of art in modern society? Is it made to entertain us, to teach us? Both? And what of philosophy? What relevance does it have to how we think and live? In Opening Gambits , cultural critic and philosopher Mark Kingwell puts forth an argument for the similarity between art and philosophy as forms of play, working at the margins of meaning and sense. Featuring essays previously published in Queen’s Quarterly, Descant, Harvard Design Magazine, Canadian Art , and Harper’s, the book begins with general assessments of the art world and the relationship between art and architecture. Including lively critical engagements with artists such as Edward Burtynsky, David Bierk, James Lahey, and Blue Republic, these pieces draw out the philosophical issues embedded in the aesthetic experience of art. In the second half of the collection, Kingwell reverses the polarity, investigating philosophy as a kind of art form that is constantly questioning its own possibility. The two parts of the book are simultaneously separated and joined by a collection of images that feature the works discussed in Part One.

Les projets et les matériaux présentés ici résultent d’un travail étroit entre concepteurs, ingénieurs, scientifiques et écologues. L’ouvrage, dans une approche à la fois théorique et pratique, est centré sur les technologies appliquées à la croissance, aux flux, au climat et aux phénomènes météorologiques. Matériaux et technologies sont mis en relation selon leurs modes de fonctionnement, les processus envisagés et leurs propriétés. Les 36 projets internationaux et les 23 matériaux innovants sont accompagnés par des croquis détaillés et des photos de leur réalisation. Sont abordés également les systèmes complexes tels que les structures de croissance verticale, la prévention des inondations, les installations d’infiltration des eaux pluviales et de réduction de l’érosion des sols. Les exemples de projets sont l’œuvre, entre autres, de West 8 (Pays-Bas), GROSS.MAX (Grande Bretagne), Weiss-Manfredi Architects (USA), Kathryn Gustafson (USA) et Vogt Landschaftsarchitekten (Suisse).

In "Travels in the History of Architecture", renowned architectural writer Robert Harbison looks closely at these bricks, taking us on a journey through the great themes and movements of architecture, from antiquity to the present day. Taking as a starting place his own experience of the physical fabric of buildings, Harbison interprets the conceptions of the original architects and makers, pointing out carefully crafted detail and inspiring form along the way. Beginning with the great temples and tombs of the Egyptians, and the monuments and shrines of Greek and Roman architecture, and concluding with the museums of the twenty-first century, each chapter of his Travels focuses on a moment in architectural history, including Byzantine, Baroque, Mannerism, Historicism, Functionalism and Decon structionism.

Sorkin has followed the same path for over fifteen years, a route that has allowed him to observe the startling transformations in New York during this period of great change. Twenty Minutes in Manhattan is his personal, anecdotal account of his casual encounters with the physical space and social dimensions of this unparalleled city.

Over the next three decades, Evans engaged in an unprecedented reconstruction project, creating a complex of concrete buildings on the site that owed at least as much to modernist architecture as they did to Bronze Age remains. In the process, he fired the imaginations of a whole generation of intellectuals and artists, whose work would drive movements as disparate as fascism and pacifism, feminism and psychoanalysis. With Knossos and the Prophets of Modernism, Cathy Gere relates the fascinating story of Evans’s excavation and its long-term effects on Western culture.

They consider sidewalk uses that include the display of individual and group identities, the everyday politics of sidewalk access, and larger political actions (including Seattle's 1999 antiglobalization protests), and examine the complex regulatory frameworks that manage street and sidewalk life.

Although appropropriation is often associated with the 1980s practice of such artists as Peter Halley, Sherrie Levine, Richard Prince, and Cindy Sherman, as well as the critical discourse of postmodernism and the simulacral theory of Jean Baudrillard, appropriation’s significance for art is not limited by that cultural and political moment. In an expanded art-historical frame, this book recontextualizes avant-garde photomontage, the Duchampian readymade, and the Pop image among such alternative precursors as Francis Picabia, Bertolt Brecht, Guy Debord, Akasegawa Genpei, Dan Graham, Cildo Meireles, and Martha Rosler. In the recent work of many artists, including Mike Kelley, Glenn Ligon, Pierre Huyghe, and Aleksandra Mir, among others, appropriation is central to their critique of the contemporary world and vision for alternative futures.
