Résumé:
This publication is based on a thesis that studies global mobility and territories in dispersion. Based in Rotterdam, Diego Barajas concentrates his research on the urban dispersals shaped by migration, looking first at the Cape Verdean Diaspora and its territorial structure, and then focused on the case of the 'belhuis' - 'call-house'. By 'territories in dispersion', Barajas refers to social habitats that are no longer physically contained in geographically continuous areas, but have been spread out and re-articulated by artificial means. The de-territorialized condition created by increased mobility - particularly by migration - had led to an urbanism of artificial re-territorializaton. This is a functional urbanism - as based on mental constructions but tangible - that is manifested in the city as fragments, micro environments of global circuits, each of which establishes its own identity, time, rules and aesthetics - its own atmospheres. These fragments are globally connected and articulated by abstract infrastructures like telecommunication systems, as much as by physical places - ethnic shops, religious centers, et cetera - and by the imaginary and idealized realms through which dispersed societies operate. This is an urbanism ruled by traditional values, by intuitive and emotional forces, as much by efficiency and functionality. This research argues that as patterns of dispersion intensify, they generate not just fragmented societies, but a new territorial cohesion - a realm in which 'the collective' has gained a new dimension. Cultural identity is no longer necessarily linked to geographical place, or to traditional territorial structures like the nation-state, but has become a particular concept attached to individual imaginations though subjected to and conditioned by the contradictory pressures of self-determination and commoditization. This research is an attempt to trace the patterns of urban dispersals shaped by migration to the city of Rotterdam. A city whose harbour has made it one of the most concentrated points of settlement for Cape Verdean emigrants.

Résumé:
Depuis Platon, l'homme a toujours rêvé de la ville idéale. Utopia, la cité imaginée par Thomas More au XVIe siècle a donné naissance à l'utopie urbaine. S'inspirant de ce modèle, des centaines d'autres villes utopiques ont vu le jour telles Christianopolis au Moyen Age, Le Phalanstère de Fourrer au XIXe siècle, puis la Cité Radieuse de Le Corbusier ou encore Broadacre City Usonia de Frank Lloyd Wright, qui toutes ont contribué à façonner les cités d'aujourd'hui. C'est l'histoire de cette utopie urbaine que retrace Patrice de Moncan. Des siècles de rêves... jusqu'à ce qu'un groupe de jeunes architectes anglais annonce dans les années 60 : " En raison d'un manque total d'intérêt, demain est annulé ". L'utopie urbaine a-t-elle aujourd'hui encore un sens ? Peut-on toujours dessiner la ville à la manière des utopistes, s'interroge Patrice de Moncan ? Les architectes Ricardo Bofill, Roland Castro, Léon Krier, Jean Nouvel, Dominique Perrault et Christian De Portzamparc proposent une réponse. Tout au long de ce livre, un grand choix de textes qui ont forgé l'utopie urbaine à travers les siècles, étaye cette réflexion.

Résumé:
Dalibor Vesely proposes an alternative to the narrow vision of contemporary architecture as a discipline that can be treated as an instrument or commodity. In doing so, he offers nothing less than an account of the ontological and cultural foundations of modern architecture and, consequently, of the nature and cultural role of architecture through history. Vesely's argument, structured as a critical dialogue, discovers the first plausible anticipation of modernity in the formation of Renaissance perspective. Understanding this notion of perspective against the background of the medieval philosophy of light, he argues, leads to an understanding of architectural space as formed by typical human situations and by light before it is structured geometrically. The central part of the book addresses the question of divided representation - the tension between the instrumental and the communicative roles of architecture - in the period of the baroque, when architectural thinking was seriously challenged by the emergence of modern science. Vesely argues that to resolve the dilemma of modernity - reconciling the inventions and achievements of modern technology with the human condition and the natural world - we can turn to architecture and its latent capacity to reconcile different levels of reality, its ability to relate abstract ideas and conceptual structures to the concrete situations of everyday life. Vesely sees the restoration of this communicative role of architecture as the key to the restoration of architecture as the topological and corporeal foundation of culture; what the book is to our literacy, he argues, architecture is to culture as a whole. He concludes by proposing a new poetics of architecture that will serve as a framework for the restoration of the humanistic role of architecture in the age of technology.

Résumé:
Cell phones and E-mail, home shopping and the Internet - "old" industrial societies have been turning into globally connected information societies on the sly. At the same time, the population is tending to retreat into its own four walls. Yet - or maybe for this reason - public urban spaces are becoming more and more important, having lost none of their significance as interfaces of human communication. This catalogue is published in conjunction with the thirtieth anniversary of the Bremen program for public art. It features over thirty artists who have confronted urban and social aspects of the city and developed their own personal visions, utopias and fantasies of a life in and with the city. Artists featured: Kim Adams, Louise Bourgeois, Stephen Craig, Bogomir Ecker, Olafur Eliasson, Ayse Erkmen, Isa Genzken, Dorothee Golz, Wiebke Grösch/Frank Metzger, Hans Haacke, Rudolf Herz, Stephan Huber, Rolf Julius, Emilia und Ilya Kabakov, Andree Korpys/Markus Löffler, Mischa Kuball, Atelier Van Lieshout, M+M, Joachim Manz, Olaf Nicolai, Julian Opie, Panamarenko, Hermann Pitz, Marjetica Potrc, Tobias Rehberger, Thomas Ruff/Florian Baudrexel/Jens Ullrich, Roman Signer, Bert Theis, herman de vries, Wolfgang Winter/Berthold Hörbelt
