Résumé:
Qu'est ce qui fait qu'un dessin, séduisant sur la table à dessin ou l'écran d'ordinateur, est décevant une fois construit? La réponse est à chercher dans la domination - le règne - de la vue dans notre civilisation technicienne et consumériste. La négligence des autres sens a perverti la pratique de l'architecture.

Qu'est ce qui fait qu'un dessin, séduisant sur la table à dessin ou l'écran d'ordinateur, est décevant une fois construit? La réponse est à chercher dans la domination - le règne - de la vue dans notre civilisation technicienne et consumériste. La négligence des autres sens a perverti la pratique de l'architecture. L'auteur relate d'abord l'histoire de la progression de la domination de l'oeil dans la culture occidentale depuis les Grecs, avant d'analyser le rôle des autres sens dans l'expérience architecturale

Résumé:
Le paradoxe des métropoles est bien connu : principaux centres de création de richesse, elles cumulent également les difficultés (sociales, environnementales, démocratiques) de nos sociétés modernes. Il est désormais clair que les politiques destinées à choyer des populations et des fonctions « stratégiques » au titre de la compétitivité économique ne parviennent pas à dépasser ces tensions. Rejetant cette vision d'une « ville d'exception », l'ouvrage s'appuie sur les apports de l'économie territoriale pour repenser ce qui fonde l'avantage métropolitain dans la globalisation. Loin de la prétendue dilution des capacités locales dans la mondialisation et de l'inexorable déconnexion entre les villes mondiales et leurs territoires environnants, l'ère des métropoles offre des marges de manoeuvre aux sociétés qui se donnent les moyens collectifs d'exploiter leurs ressources.

Résumé:
Edward Ford's forty years of practicing and teaching architecture have focused on one area: the architectural detail. Yet, despite two influential books, numerous articles, and lectures given from Vancouver to Vienna, there is one question Ford has never answered: 'What is a detail?' Ford walks the reader through five widely accepted and wildly different definitions of detail, in an attempt to find, for once and for all, the quintessential definition of detail in architecture. After shuffling through the history of architecture, he finally reaches a conclusion.

Résumé:
For almost 20 years, Detlef Mertins has been a critical voice in renewing our understanding of architectural modernity. Architect, historian, professor, his essays have often taken up familiar themes in order to redress inaccuracies and release energies that we were unaware of. These essays elaborate on such key modernist tropes as transparency, glass architecture, organicism, life and event, sameness and difference. Previously published in a variety of different venues, from journals to anthologies – including such noted books as Lars Spuybroek's NOX: Machining Architecture and FOA's Phylogenesis – they are now assembled for the first time in this volume.

Résumé:
Each of the contributors has responded to a set of 20 questions on the multiple conditions under which particular ideas and words enter architectural discourse through publication. The resulting critical positions and observations are as diverse as the magazines from which they originate, and range from the oldest student-edited journal (Perspecta) to a research collective that at the time of writing was on the cusp of being launched ([bracket]). Also included are contributions from the editors of 306090, AA Files, Actar, An Architektur, Footprint, Grey Room, Harvard Design Magazine, Hunch, Interstices, Log, Manifold, Mark, New Geographies, OASE, Praxis, Scapes, UME and Volume. 20/20 is a timely publication that provides today's architectural reader with concise viewpoints from the editors behind the magazines behind architectural culture.

Résumé:
Danish artist Asger Jorn (1914-1973) is internationally renowned for his activities within the CoBrA and the International Situationist groups. Quite apart from his paintings, prints, ceramics and sculptures, Jorn produced a remarkable amount of theoretical work. His ideas are still extremely relevant to contemporary discourse. However, in contrast to his artistic oeuvre, Jorn's theoretical arguments have received much less attention from scholars of architecture, art history or philosophy. This book for the first time reveals this largely ignored aspect of Jorn's work. Jorn's opinions and motivations are subsequently contextualized within the theoretical debate of his time and are linked in the book to examples of built architecture, which influenced and informed his conception of architecture and urbanism.
