Résumé:
This book is the first to document the remarkable history of the International Institute of Design (IID), an independent school of architecture founded and directed by Alvin Boyarsky from 1970 – 72, and highlights a pivotal episode in the career of Boyarsky, best known for his subsequent role as chairman of the Architectural Association (1971 – 90). Launched in the wake of the institutional upheavals that had swept schools of architecture during the late 1960s, the IID introduced an alternative model of architectural instruction: one that brought together a range of teaching methods, design strategies, theories and projects alongside an international assortment of protagonists. In Progress details this short-lived experiment through a trove of previously unpublished material, and reveals how three informal architectural gatherings, held over three successive summers, can be seen to have established not only a network of architects and discourses, but a new model for architectural education.

Résumé:
À Montréal, une ville constamment transformée par les mouvements de population, la régénération des quartiers et les aléas politiques, la «médialité» des formes matérielles et sociales aiguise inlassablement les discours et les enjeux qui les sous-tendent, tout en les obscurcissant. Ces formes urbaines, qu’elles soient émergentes ou solidement établies, sont examinées ici à partir des points de vue combinés de l’histoire de l’art, de la sémiologie, des études en communication et de la sociologie, des paradigmes de recherche sur la ville qui sont généralement isolés. Ciblant quatorze études de cas, Formes urbaines : circulation, stockage et transmission de l’expression culturelle à Montréal propose une interprétation nouvelle, médiale, d’une culture proprement montréalaise.

Résumé:
In this book, Rebecca Solnit explores the ways we make our lives out of stories, and how we are connected by empathy, by narrative, by imagination. In the course of unpacking some of her own stories—of her mother and her decline from memory loss, of a trip to Iceland, of an illness—Solnit revisits fairytales and entertains other stories: about arctic explorers, Che(...)

Résumé:
In this book, Rebecca Solnit explores the ways we make our lives out of stories, and how we are connected by empathy, by narrative, by imagination. In the course of unpacking some of her own stories—of her mother and her decline from memory loss, of a trip to Iceland, of an illness—Solnit revisits fairytales and entertains other stories: about arctic explorers, Che Guevara among the leper colonies, and Mary Shelley’s Dr. Frankenstein, about warmth and coldness, pain and kindness, decay and transformation, making art and making self. Woven together, these stories create a map which charts the boundaries and territories of storytelling, reframing who each of us is and how we might tell our story.

Gathered here are essays that create a survey of the world we live in, from the jungles of the Zapatistas in Mexico to the splendors of the Arctic. This collection tours places as diverse as Haiti and Iceland; movements like Occupy Wall Street and the Arab Spring; a take on the question of who did Henry David Thoreau’s laundry; and a searching look at what the hatred of country music means.

Résumé:
Ryuji Fujimura questions Japan’s modernist post-war architectural paradigms in his work, repositioning architecture within its urban, economic and social forces. His design background has roots in both social and building engineering, and has come to define his own practice based on the notion of “architecture as critical engineering-ism”. The projects featured in this volume are carefully tailored to their contexts, clients and environmental conditions. In his design process, Fujimura studies a series of prototype models, each improving upon the last, until satisfaction with the form is reached. Here he describes and illustrates this narrative process of embryonic development.

L’inauguration, le 21 septembre 1963, de la Grande Salle maintenant connue sous le nom de Wilfrid-Pelletier fut l’amorce d’un mouvement de promotion et de développement des arts qui a transformé le paysage culturel du Québec et de sa métropole. À l’occasion de ce cinquantième anniversaire, historiens, artistes et gestionnaires partagent ici leurs réflexions sur le rôle et l’influence de cette institution destinée à la diffusion et à la production d’œuvres et de spectacles qui a puissamment contribué à l’émergence de toute une industrie culturelle.
