Résumé:
Pairing particular works of art with specific innovations in real estate development, The Speculative City reveals the connections between real estate and contemporary art as they constructed Los Angeles’s present-day cityscape. From banal parking lots to Frank Gehry’s designs for artists’ studios and museums, Newbury examines pivotal interventions by artists and architects, city officials and cultural philanthropists, concluding with an examination of how, in the wake of the 2008 global credit crisis, contemporary art emerged as a financial asset to fuel private wealth and urban gentrification. Both a history of the transformation of the Southland and a forensic examination of works of art, 'The Speculative City' is a rich complement to the California chronicles by such writers as Rebecca Solnit and Mike Davis.

Résumé:
La dimension du transitoire dans les champs de l'architecture, de l'urbanisme et du design, comme nouvel horizon de pensée et d'action concernant tous les aspects de la vie urbaine, dans sa complexité économique et écologique. On observe actuellement une forte demande en matière de dispositifs transitoires : architectes, artistes, designers sont sollicités pour proposer des solutions d'hébergement temporaires, considérées comme autant d'expédients en réponse à des situations d'urgence. Mais, au-delà de cette conception du transitoire, un certain nombre d'acteurs venant de l'architecture, de l'urbanisme et du design considèrent le transitoire comme une valeur à défendre, un nouvel horizon d'action concernant tous les aspects de la vie urbaine dans sa complexité économique et écologique : non seulement les initiatives pour résoudre le mal-logement, mais aussi le rôle à donner aux fablabs et aux actions en faveur d'une agriculture urbaine, trop souvent cantonnés à des pratiques de loisir.

Such stories are told in 'Living the city' by referencing various projects from architecture, art, and urban planning. The book aims to show processes and possibilities for action in cities based on more than fifty projects from all over Europe. The publication first looks at urbanites before expanding into emotionally and poetically charged stories that consider very basic activities such as loving, living, moving, working, learning, playing, dreaming, and participating in the city.

Résumé:
L'automobile a transformé radicalement nos villes, au point de s'imposer comme l'étalon de mesure de la planification urbaine. Architectes et urbanistes ont embrassé cette vision de la ville qui mène à des espaces pollués, peu sécuritaires, et dont les infrastructures pèsent lourd sur le trésor public. Devant l'urgence climatique, Olivier Ducharme veut renverser ce modèle pour redonner au piéton la place qui lui revient. Il livre une charge pour sortir de nos villes ces « requins d'acier », qu'ils soient électriques ou à essence, et remettre la vie de quartier et le transport collectif au centre de l'aménagement urbain. Pour se libérer des embouteillages et amorcer la transition écologique, nous devons avoir le courage politique de bannir l'auto solo de nos villes. L'automobile est un piège, il est temps de s'en libérer.

Résumé:
The last decade has seen an accelerated evolution of typologies. Today’s cities are marked by a growing digital presence and the emergence of a global sharing economy; shared spaces have increased our social and sustainable focus, drastically altered our understanding of ownership and responsibility, and redefined our experience of public and private domains. Such changes have in turn rewritten the demands on architecture, the role of the designer, and the power of the profession. In 'Another Kind', PLP Architecture presents ten projects as case studies to examine the emergence of a new typological fluidity. These projects serve as anchors to survey the cultural landscape of the past ten years. Projects can no longer be traditionally codified and instead present themselves as assemblages of exterior influences, new cultural interests, and 21st century social habits. In 'Another Kind', projects are intertwined with essays by cultural observers both within and outside of the discipline. Through this multi-layered infrastructure and pluralistic dissection, Another Kind cracks the surface and explores the contents of architecture today. Marking this moment in time, PLP examines how we have evolved and speculates on what we can learn for the years that lie ahead.

Résumé:
EUROPAN, founded in 1989, and supported by thirteen countries in the European Union, runs a competition every two years and invites young architects to submit innovative and experimental models in urban development. The 2019 EUROPAN competition focused on the topic productive cities and involved more than nine hundred planning teams from all over Europe, who prepared proposals for forty-seven towns. This book features the twelve winning submissions to the 2019 edition for the Austrian cities Graz, Innsbruck, Villach, Weiz, and Vienna. They are presented in impeccable detail through photos, drawings, and visualizations, along textual commentary. The projects focus on architectural and urban planning interventions and processes. They offer innovative concepts for the use of public space, models for cross-functional use of space, and holistic solutions for sustainable construction. Taken as a whole, the book is a rich source of trendsetting ideas about our future cities and the development of a new urban lifestyle.

Résumé:
L’enquête-choc qui a révélé la dévitalisation des villes françaises et suscité un débat national.La crise urbaine ronge les préfectures et sous-préfectures, les détruit de l’intérieur : les vitrines des commerces se vident, la population stagne, les logements sont vacants, le niveau de vie baisse. Alors que se passe-t-il? Dans cet ouvrage, analyse l’offensive délibérée de la grande distribution, en périphérie, qui tue les commerces du centre-ville et des quartiers anciens, et sacrifie les emplois de proximité. Il observe également comment la motorisation – incarnée par la voiture individuelle – contribue largement à l’asphyxie des villes. « Comment la France peut-elle sauver ses villes? » Il n’existe nulle solution miraculeuse, mais une série de petits pas, de décisions empreintes de sobriété.

Résumé:
What might our cities look like in ten, twenty or fifty years? How may future cities face global challenges? Imagining the city of the future has long been an inspiration for many architects, artists and designers. This book examines how cities of the future have been visualised, what these projects sought to communicate and what the implications may be for us now. It provides a visual history of the future and explores the relationships between different visualisation techniques and ideologies for cities. Thinking about what futures are, who they are for, why they are desirable, and how and when they are to be brought into being is central to this book. Through visualisation we are able to experiment in ways that would be impractical and potentially hazardous in the real world, and this book, therefore, aims to contribute toward a better understanding of the power and agency of visualisations for future cities.
