Résumé:
The Architecture Observer offers an overview of different forms of modern architecture in Central America since the outset of the 20th century. Although modern architectures constituted only a small percentage of the total building production in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama, they hold in these countries an evident symbolic significance. Such buildings functioned as models for the desired societal, economic, and cultural changes, or as aspirational placeholders for a future state of modernity. With contributions by Mauricio Quirós Pacheco, Andrés Fernández, Hans Ibelings, Gloria Grimaldi, Sandra Gutiérrez, Martín Majewsky, and others.

Olivier Lazzarotti aborde ici les thématiques du tourisme et du patrimoine, non séparément, mais ensemble, par l’étude des liaisons qui articulent ces deux phénomènes sociaux. En analysant les très nombreux lieux où patrimoine et tourisme sont co-présents, d’Angkor au Costa-Rica, de la réserve camerounaise du Dja à Amiens, à Hanoï ou Hiroshima, l’auteur fait le constat que, contrairement aux idées répandues, le tourisme ne détruit pas le patrimoine, pas plus que le patrimoine n’entrave ou interdit le tourisme, mais que l’un et l’autre entretiennent un dialogue à la fois ininterrompu et aux facettes changeantes et multiples.

Résumé:
We are witnessing a time of unprecedented migration to urban centres, and as such it is imperative to analyse what makes communities thrive. The density and urban fabric of neighbourhoods has a direct influence on the frequency and opportunity of interaction of locals. Nurturing and maintaining public amenities, green spaces, and infrastructure – both visible and invisible – in turn nurtures community as a whole and society at large. Among the sixteen featured projects are a scout hut in Copenhagen, a media library in Tbilisi, a grocery store in Italy, a community centre in Costa Rica, a bamboo sports hall for a school in Thailand, and an educational park in Colombia.

Résumé:
The book takes the reader on an intellectual adventure through a carefully curated selection of 120 places that can be understood as metaphors of contemporary global culture. Spread across all seven continents, from the depths of the ocean to outer space, these places are divided into six chapters: Paradises, Utopias, Machines, Monsters, Ruins, and Instruments. The spectrum ranges from Steve Jobs' Apple Park in California to a national park in Costa Rica, a small field station for the protection of wild orangutans in Borneo, the Great Green Wall in Central Africa, the Trump resort Mar-a-Lago, to the border wall between Israel and Palestine. This book is a grand tour of the most pertinent places in the world today.

Résumé:
Public spaces — where people from all walks of life play, work, meet, talk, read, think, debate, and protest — are vital to a healthy civic life. And, as the eminent scholar of public space Setha Low argues in this book, even fleeting moments of visibility and encounter in these spaces tend to foster a broader worldview and our willingness to accept difference.

Résumé:
Public spaces — where people from all walks of life play, work, meet, talk, read, think, debate, and protest — are vital to a healthy civic life. And, as the eminent scholar of public space Setha Low argues in this book, even fleeting moments of visibility and encounter in these spaces tend to foster a broader worldview and our willingness to accept difference. Yet we are losing public spaces to accelerated urban development and the belief that public spaces are expendable. Low explores why public spaces matter today, how they are at risk, and what we can do about protecting these essential places that support our everyday lives. Finally, she shows how we can work to promote public space protection and expansion at both the grassroots and global levels. Throughout, she focuses on real public spaces and the people who use them in cities and regions across the Americas, from New Jersey to Costa Rica
