Résumé:
À l'école de paysage de Versailles de jeunes paysagistes et enseignants inventent de nouvelles manières de penser et de transformer les paysages. Au cœur de leurs démarches : l'écologie de terrain, l'attention au vivant, le réemploi des ressources, l'expérimentation collective. De friches industrielles transformées en parcs vivants aux ateliers participatifs dans les villages ou les quartiers, ces projets explorent des façons inédites de concevoir et de faire durer les espaces publics. Ce livre rassemble une vingtaine de récits issus de cette aventure collective. Trois chapitres scandent cette progression – raciner, bourgeonner, fructifier – comme autant d'étapes d'une pratique vivante du paysage, où conception, réalisation et entretien s'entrelacent. À la fois manuel, récit et manifeste, l'ouvrage esquisse une véritable philosophie du projet de paysage : rustique, pragmatique et inventive. Il invite à repenser nos manières d'habiter et de cultiver le monde, en offrant des pistes concrètes et inspirantes face aux défis écologiques et sociaux contemporains.

Résumé:
et ouvrage pionnier a été publié pour la première fois en Suisse en langue allemande en 1946, sous le titre bilingue Die Stadt und ihr Boden/Towns and the Land (cette version contenait un résumé et toutes les légendes en anglais). Il s’agit d’un texte fondamental qui propose une synthèse de l’histoire de l’urbanisme en Europe du point de vue de la propriété des sols. Parmi les chapitres primordiaux du livre, on retrouve une analyse de la ville coloniale médiévale, de l’Amsterdam du 17e siècle à la Place Vendôme, des effets négatifs de la chute de l’Ancien Régime, des résultats désastreux de l’expansion urbaine commanditée par les spéculations foncières, de la cité-jardin, des nouvelles cités industrielles de l’Union soviétique, parmi bien d’autres exemples. Des traductions récentes démontrent un regain d’intérêt autour de questions telles que la consommation du sol agricole dans les pays européens, l’usage équitable des ressources face à l’urgence climatique et la forte demande de mise en place de régimes communaux, les commons, pour lesquels l’urbanisme ne dispose pas encore d’instruments adéquats.

Comment gagner sa vie tout en répondant aux enjeux climatiques et sociaux qui sont désormais enseignés dans les écoles d’architecture ? Peuvent-elles professionnaliser à d’autres métiers que la maitrise d’œuvre ? Comment donner des outils concrets pour aider de jeunes diplômées à bousculer les cadres de commandes et à réinsuffler de l’utilité publique ? Le désir est là, brûlant même, les injonctions et inspirations théoriques ne manquent pas, mais nous avons surtout besoin aujourd’hui de pragmatisme à associer à notre joie militante.

Résumé:
Some of the largest architecture firms have effectively become war corporations. At the same time as designing Olympic parks and world-famous buildings, they have constructed military bases, maintained weaponry, and trained personnel for wars in which hundreds of thousands of people have been killed. In some conflicts, the same firms have been contracted from invasion to reconstruction, including facilitating military attacks, rebuilding war-damaged infrastructure, and establishing new governments. Architecture for Warfare tells the story of a form of multidisciplinary corporation that employs architects skilled in designing structures alongside former military personnel with experience handling live-fire weapons. It highlights the tensions and contradictions within these architecture-led firms that claim to make the world a better place. The book combines personal narrative with detailed research to reveal unsettling relations between design, planning, and armed conflict.

We are bodies among other bodies; living and dead, solid and fluid, raw and transformed, recognisable or in disguise. To live is to interact, but what are we interacting with? "The domestic encyclopaedia" is a collection of stories that explore the material body of architecture, of houses. In the midst of ongoing ecological disaster and increased alienation from nature it invites you to travel beyond the screen, to practice attention and probe the nature of domestic space.

Résumé:
A ghost is haunting Europe: the ghost of Europe itself. It is a ghost without flesh and bone – a vanishing body that seems to satisfy itself with a vague geographical description. At best Europe refers to the sister of Cadmus, once upon a time abducted by Zeus. Can’t we do better? Is Europe condemned to incarnate itself in a name whose sole reality is to be the one of a political strategy, of a way to deal with crisis? Wouldn’t it be time that we start to interrogate what Europe could mean beyond ghosts and petty politics? After all, it is very well possible that what we call Europe has a body, has a corpus – and that this corpus is no other than the ensemble composed by the fragments of its literary history. What if Europe was not a matter of geography or politics, but a matter of literature – a matter of sense and sensibility: a way to welcome what, in a human body, makes it alive?

Résumé:
How could a Rhineland mystic of the 13th century help us better navigate the 21st? In a provocative reading of the work of Meister Eckhart, Peter Sloterdijk offers a compelling answer: What medieval mysticism teaches us is that all there is doesn’t exist per se—everything only exists in relation. For Eckhart, living on Earth is the same as the Holy Trinity: in a symbiosis, a form of co-relationship forgotten for too long. The triumph of individualism led to the shared illusion that humans, like everything else on the planet, had an essence, an identity, a being. But nothing could be more false. What everything is, is the others. What everything is, is a shared relationality. We are not alone—we are also all others; we depend on them. In the Anthropocene, when planetary symbiosis has never been more jeopardized, shifting our metaphysics and recalling lessons such as those of Meister Eckhart has become vital.

Résumé:
A specter haunts Europe: the specter of sovereignty. Legacy of a prestigious political tradition, sovereignty has metamorphosed into a monster in the 19th century, with the advent of nationalism and the ensuing catastrophes that tainted the globe in blood. Today, at a time when nationalist passions seem to be back with a vengeance, a renewed call for sovereignty presents itself as a return towards populations and territories to be defended. Any project aiming at doing away with nations and finding the route towards a larger political ensembles seems to be barred by what is now presented as a sacred value – the one of a people selecting its own way of being governed. But what if this was wrong? What if sovereignty could designate another horizon than the one of nations? What if Europe could become the place for a new experiment on the meaning and extension of sovereignty and democracy? This would mean a sovereign Europe.
