Résumé:
''The Weltanschauung as an Ersatz Gestalt'' was Turnovský’s thesis, written in 1978 as a requirement to complete his studies at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. For more than thirty years, it has remained unpublished—until now. This facsimile publication sheds new light on the development of his theoretical trajectory by revealing Turnovský’s interest in the philosophy of “open systems” as proposed by the Italian novelist and semiotician Umberto Eco. Turnovský applies the logic of open systems to the architectural design process, which allows for a personalized perception that may differ from both the collective experience and the creator’s artistic vision.

Résumé:
The Atelier de la Conception de l’Espace (ALICE), affiliated with the School of Architecture at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, is an educational facility focusing on preparing students for the practice of architecture. To cultivate the ability to create or shape space, students must be confronted with an educational frame¬work that prepares them for the field’s many practical challenges, from cultural, social, environmental, and physical concerns to working with the wide range of collaborators who must bring their creativity and expertise together in the design process. The Invention of Space is the initial volume in a four-part series on ALICE, this new book focuses on how its innovative curriculum primes students to recognize the cultural practices embedded in the invention of space. Architectural spaces are conceived—and experienced—collectively within the incorporating culture. How can culture, together with a raft of com¬peting concerns, be best translated in the design process? The book explores this and related questions through a fictional narrative, in essays and with more than three-hundred images. ALICE plays a key role in the success of one of Europe’s leading schools of architecture, and this book, together with the three other volumes in the series, provides an opportunity to explore the exceptional learning environment ALICE offers.

The juxtapositions of Zaha Hadid’s architectural models and drawings and Judith Turner’s photographs of the architect’s buildings in this volume reveal that Hadid and Turner are complicit. Hadid does not design with complete geometries in stable configurations, but designs instead with incomplete or distorted geometries that are dynamic and visually unstable. Turner does(...)

Résumé:
The juxtapositions of Zaha Hadid’s architectural models and drawings and Judith Turner’s photographs of the architect’s buildings in this volume reveal that Hadid and Turner are complicit. Hadid does not design with complete geometries in stable configurations, but designs instead with incomplete or distorted geometries that are dynamic and visually unstable. Turner does the same in her photographs, cropping before a form completes itself in a frame that leaves the rest of the form suggested outside the frame. Hadid structures her designs dynamically with diagonal lines and oblique planes playing with and against each other in three-dimensional fields.

Une photographie aérienne a transformé l’orphelinat de l’architecte Aldo van Eyck, construit entre 1955 et 1960 à Amsterdam, en une icône – au sens propre du terme –, substituant une image au bâtiment lui-même dans l’imaginaire des architectes et dans la presse spécialisée. 'L’orphelinat d’Aldo van Eyck' vise à renouveler le genre monographique en proposant une confrontation entre la fortune critique de l’œuvre et la matérialité structurelle, constructive et plastique de l’édifice achevé. Le travail sur l’image du bâtiment constitue une contribution précieuse aux investigations consacrées actuellement à l’interaction entre architecture moderne et photographie.

They form a career-spanning collection that tracks not only the development of Harvey over time as an intellectual, but also a dialectical vision that gradually expanded its reach from the slums of Baltimore to global environmental degradation to the American imperium. While Harvey's coverage is wide-ranging, all of the pieces tackle the core concerns that have always animated his work: capitalism past and present, social change, freedom, class, imperialism, the city, nature, social justice, postmodernity, globalization, and-not least-the crises that inhere in capitalism.
