Résumé:
En l'espace d'une quarantaine d'années, les conditions de l'urbanisation ont très nettement changé, aussi bien dans les pays développés que dans les pays en développement. Le poids démographique des villes, leur morphologie, leur fonctionnalité, leur poids économique, les problèmes sociétaux qui sont générées au sein de ces systèmes territoriaux particuliers constituent autant de dynamiques qui ont conduit à faire des métropoles des territoires de première importance. Cet ouvrage aborde cette problématique sous un angle davantage politique en se focalisant sur les transformations que connaissent plusieurs métropoles européennes du point de vue de leur modes de gouvernance. A travers la comparaison entre Genève-Lausanne, Lyon, Marseille, Naples, Stuttgart et Zürich, il entend analyser les changements et les facteurs de stabilité qui accompagnent la métropolisation, d'une part dans les relations intergouvernementales, d'autre part dans les relations entre les élus politiques et la société civile et, enfin, dans le type de politique pratique.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage collectif présente une vision interdisciplinaire des problématiques actuelles de l'urbain, à savoir les modalités de démocratie participative, de politique locale et d'aménagement urbain. Les différentes contributions témoignent des discussions engagées entre chercheurs seniors et juniors pendant l'université d'été transfrontalière 2001 à Morges en Suisse. Ce croisement de regards et de connaissances permet de faire émerger de nouvelles pistes de réflexion et d'approches scientifiques relatives aux problématiques de l'urbain. L'ouvrage se structure autour de trois parties. La première partie " Concerter - Faire émerger et confronter les savoirs urbains multiples " oriente le propos sur les concepts et les pratiques qui s'intéressent aux différents types d'acteurs urbains et à leur intégration dans les processus de démocratie locale. La deuxième partie: " Gouverner - Inventer et gérer la réalité métropolitaine incertaine " reprend la discussion sur les changements d'action publique par rapport à la restructuration du système de représentation politique de l'urbain. La troisième partie : " Concevoir - Projeter et aménager les territoires urbains enchevêtrés " prend en compte la transformation et la redéfinition des territoires urbains et met en évidence les influences de ces transformations sur l'aménagement urbain. La conclusion générale présente les nouveaux enjeux par rapport aux manières de concerter, de gouverner et de concevoir les territoires urbains qui ont émergé du débat interdisciplinaire et interculturel.

They and an esteemed group of contributors assert that the mythic status of Chicago architecture has distorted our understanding of the historical circumstances in which it was realized. This searching volume illuminates the importance of photographs, books, magazines, and other media in the cultivation of an international audience for Chicago architecture; it explores the pivotal role of real estate developers, finance and insurance sectors, and speculative capital markets in the development of the city itself; and, perhaps most notably, it examines a wide variety of overlooked architectural works and their creators - individuals who did not fit into the dominant modernist narrative.

Résumé:
The German pavilion at the 9th Venice Architecture Biennale offers an overview of more than 35 contemporary architectural projects in Germany which have manifested in peripheral urban areas, suburban spaces, and de-industrialized zones. The projects reveal the transformation and reactivation of banal everyday architecture--business parks, switching stations, water purification plants, and strictly coded and conventional housing types--to open up a new perception of the "deutschlandscape." Here, architectural norms are reworked and given a new aesthetic twist through ironic self-reflection. These built projects by a critical young generation of German architects reveal highly innovative use of new materials, generate suburban "plug-ins" (temporary and mobile architecture), and skillfully rework the familiar to create solutions for hitherto underrepresented yet vital areas on the urban fringe. Accompanying essays and interviews reveal the personal narratives behind the architecture. Contributions include: "urban therapist" Sonja Beeck on dealing with the psychological dimensions of shrinking cities in the former GDR; artist and urbanist Kai Vöckler on the German psychoscape; Omar Akbar of the Bauhaus Dessau on the wider implications of urban sprawl; Peter Cook on tuning suburbia; Angelika Fitz on strategic answers to restrictive building regulations; Peter Wilson on the marketing of place; and Rudolf Stegers on multi-layered meanings behind the architectural image.

Résumé:
Cell phones, automatic teller machines, and the Internet have incontrovertibly become part of our daily lives, indistinguishable from other components of our habitual everyday activity. Life does not seem to have been fundamentally changed by these hi-tech, information-giving tools of convenience--or has it? Have we, unawares, become accustomed to a new way of living? And how can designers make creative use of these new digital possibilities? This publication of the Fourth International Bauhaus Kolleg--a year-long thematic graduate session run by the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation--offers strategies for employing digital media to integrate the unpredictable and the unplanned into urban existence. "Dot.City" asks and answers many questions: Can the use of information and communication technology counteract the continuous processes of devaluation, the loss of urban identity, the lack of multifunctional networks? Can the activation and implementation of new social techniques of knowledge production compensate for missing economical impulses and functions? How do such processes generate new species of urban values? Is it possible to re-program local social resources using intelligent network technologies? What do urban action areas designed for this purpose look like? And how can urban information spheres and physical urban spaces penetrate each other?

Résumé:
Thanks to digital technology and post-structuralist thought, architects and artists are facing a brave new world of bodies without organs, buildings that circumscribe their function, and art that forms a prosthetic hard drive for our consciousness. In this schema, technology, which Marshal McLuhan theorized as the extension of our bodies into the world, has become inverted and is now literally seen as modifying and transforming our relation to that world through media's ability to not only create the means of representation, its subject and content, but also organize author and audience alike. Beyond Form is both a celebration of our situation and a critical survival manual. The contributors to this volume, including artists Jennifer Steinkamp and Maureen Connor, respond to the mediating space of technology, aware that the forms of the future lie within the indeterminate content of cultural production and consumption itself, and not within the ideal of the technological sublime of modernism that had in the past reduced this issue, both performatively and iconographically, to a question of form, function and style. Essays by Neil Leach, Jeffrey Kipnis, Omer Fast, Andrew Benjamin, Donald Kunze, et al.

Résumé:
With essays by Hans-Ulrich Obrist, Lebbeus Woods, Philipp Oswalt, Stefano Boeri, Michael Sorkins, Gutierrez + Portefaix, Jerry Herron, Sean Snyder, Marjetica Potrc, and others. Foreword by Stephen Vogel. Introduction by Peter Lang. Under the confluence of nomadic economics, technologies, and industries - commonly known as "suburban sprawl" - the city of Detroit, segregated and isolated, constitutes one of the great monuments to decay by a modernist city. It is perhaps the clearest and earliest example of the effects of a globalized economy and labor market. "Urban ecology" contains a collection of projects generated by the International Center for Urban Ecology (iCUE), a nomadic laboratory for future cities. Since its founding in 1998 by Kyong Park, iCUE has accomplished five significant projects through international workshops like "Architecture of resistance," installations, videos, and urban designs. The laboratory investigation promotes discourse on the decomposition and possible reconstitution of a "moving city" - a more useful term through which to identify a city like Detroit. iCUE's projects have taken anti-architectural and non-urban perspectives, using multi-disciplinary processes and integrated collaboration with local communities and activists. "Urban ecology" brings together essays on Detroit and many other cities in crisis around the world.
