Résumé:
The works of Mies van der Rohe are often described as silent, or as withdrawal or negation, as the last line of resistance against the forces of technology and capitalism, precisely because they interiorize these forces, but thereby also allow us to reflect on them.

Résumé:
The works of Mies van der Rohe are often described as silent, or as withdrawal or negation, as the last line of resistance against the forces of technology and capitalism, precisely because they interiorize these forces, but thereby also allow us to reflect on them. This essay attempts to understand the unavoidable plurality of this silence, to unearth its philosophical genealogy, and to connect it to the present moment, when the possibility and very sense of criticality as a strategy of negativity seem more questinable than ever. Sven-Olov Wallenstein teaches philosophy and aesthetics at the University College of Södertörn in Stockholm, and is the editor-in-chief of Site magazine.

Résumé:
Voici le premier épisode de l'histoire d'une tour : la première tour d'habitations à être lancée en France depuis longtemps. Elle est conçue par un jeune architecte, Jean-Baptiste Pietri, et s'inscrit dans le cadre d'une opération d'aménagement de 90 000 m2 promue par Constructa au cœur de la Cité de la Méditerranée, l'un des sites phare d'Euroméditerranée, à Marseille. Ce programme ambitieux comporte notamment deux autres tours, l'une de bureaux confiée à Jean Nouvel et l'autre de logements attribuée à Yves Lion. Entrer dès à présent dans la tour Pietri ouvre la porte vers de nouveaux horizons. En trois volets photographique, textuel et graphique, l'objectif est de suivre le projet dans son avancée en reposant, au passage, la question du bien-fondé de l'immeuble de grande hauteur en matière d'habitat.

Résumé:
http://www.everland.ch/ L'hôtel Everland est un projet du couple d'artistes suisses L/B (Sabina Lang et Daniel Baumann). Ils se sont fait connaître par leurs installations qui abordent les domaines de l'architecture et de l'espace invitant très souvent le spectateur à participer. L'hôtel est constitué d'une seule chambre, équipée d'une salle de bain, d'un lit double et d'un lounge. Cette chambre, aux dimensions généreuses, incarne le fantasme même de l'hôtel, de la conception architecturale allant jusqu'à la mise en scène des moindres détails, en passant par les serviettes de bain brodées au fil doré incitant à la cleptomanie. Tous les hôtes d'Everland deviennent partie intégrante de l'œuvre d'art. Hôtel Everland a été créé pour l'exposition "Everland" du commissaire Gianni Jetzer dans le cadre de l'Exposition nationale Suisse en 2002. L/B ont conçu et construit l'Hôtel avec une équipe d’artisans à Burgdorf. Il fut ensuite transporté à Yverdon où il trôna, pendant 4 mois, sur des pilotis sur le lac de Neuchâtel. Après la clôture de l'Expo.02 le pavillon mobile a été installé sur le toit de la résidence et de l'atelier des artistes.
