Résumé:
This book brings together portraits of children from the series Siblings and Singles, Clara Gutsche’s most recent body of photographic work, produced over the last fifteen years. In these images, Gutsche explores the themes of childhood and intergenerational relations and continues her reflection on the photographic medium, time, and representation. This book illuminates her engagement with the photographed subject through a practice that has spanned five decades since the 1970s, and has left its mark on the imagination and history of Canadian photography. The thirty-two silver prints from the series "Milton-Parc" (1970-73), "The Cencic Sisters (1974-76), "Sarah" (1982-89) and "Jeanne-Mance Park" (1982-84) reproduced here belong to the collection of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

Résumé:
The Valparaíso School, as it became known, acquired an international reputation for its radical stance and its commitment to dialogue between architects and other disciplines. Since 1970 the Valparaíso School has focused much of its research and design activity on the open city (ciudad abierta) project, created by a group of architects, artists, poets, and engineers with a vision of a city with "no master plan, no imposed ordering devices, and no hierarchical networks of infrastructure." Originally set up as a laboratory-type environment, this alternative community has since become the place of residence and work for many people. "Valparaíso School: open city group" provides insight into this radical experiment in urban development through a series of essays and photographs.

Résumé:
Although postmodern architecture reaches giddy heights in the cinema multiplexes and shopping malls on the outskirts of town, its services have been in greatest demand in the centre of London. The fun, brash style dominated architecture from its radical inception at the end of the 1970's to its soggy death by cul-de-sac developments in the 90's. Why did the postmodern expire? A change of fashion, maybe? It can certainly be too much at times, all those Plaudoh pediments, Lego walls and cheap multicoloured facings. A victim of its own popularity? We live and work in countless postmodern low-rise houses and offices all over the city; so ubiquitous is it that not a street has been spared.

Résumé:
Quand Jean Prouvé, président du jury du concours d'idée international, proclame, le 15 juillet 1971, le nom des lauréats du Centre Beaubourg, il en sait aussi peu sur eux que ce que nous avons oublié depuis leurs incroyables carrières. Car que savons-nous des circonstances de la toute première association entre Richard Rogers (1933-, Pritzker 2007) et Renzo Piano (1937-, Pritzker 1998) ? Que ce serait-il passé si Rogers n'avait pas mis fin au Team 4 (1963-1967) formé avec Norman Foster (1935-, Pritzker 1999) ? Si son enseignement à l'Architectural Association (1969-1971) avec Renzo Piano n'avait abouti à la création d'une agence commune ? Si le bureau d'ingénieurs Ove Arup ne leur avait indiqué fin 1970 l'existence de la compétition ?

Résumé:
The Curious Mr. Pettena recounts various steps along a journey, through cities and wide open natural spaces, undertaken by the anarchitect Gianni Pettena at the start of the 1970s across the United States. Architect, artist and critic, professor of the History of Contemporary Architecture at the University of Florence and of Planning at California State University, Gianni Pettena (born 1970 in Bolzano) belongs to the original group—along with Archizoom, Superstudio and UFO—of radical Italian architecture. Without denying his background in architecture, he was convinced of the need to rethink the meaning of the discipline, just like the other “radicals”, using the languages of “spatial” research of Conceptual Art and American Land Art, instead of the traditional languages of architectural planning.

Résumé:
Our living requirements reflect the condition of our society. Currently, there is a very large range of perceptibly different living requirements. The shared apartment, originally a youthful living model, is becoming an increasingly important concept for the elderly. But the single-resident apartment trend continues unabated, although there is a conscious movement towards spatial organization that includes contact possibilities. Community facilities such as workshops, kitchens or guest apartments and informal meeting places such as saunas and gardens give a residential project great added value. This is precisely where access ways are of particular importance, especially in low-budget residential construction. This publication documents and analyzes type variants in recent international examples and puts them in context with historical buildings featuring sheltering walkways built from 1920 to 1970.

Résumé:
Comme le rappelle Patrick Bouchain, « Au XXe siècle, l'expérimentation a souvent été encouragée, tant pour des raisons de première nécessité, comme après la seconde guerre mondiale, que pour des raisons plus symboliques, comme celle de se donner l'image d'une société innovante. » En architecture, la notion d'expérimentation recouvre des réalités opposées : la grande expérimentation politico-industrielle des modèles constructifs mis en place par le ministère de l'équipement dans les années 60 pour différents programmes de logements ou d'équipements scolaires. Et face à elle, l'expérimentation de l'inventeur, moins balisée, moins totalisante, mais pas moins ambitieuse. L'architecte Pierre Lajus appartient sans consteste à cette dernière catégorie. Au début des années 1970, il invente une architecture hédoniste répondant aux besoins d'une nouvelle société des loisirs issue des trente glorieuses.

Résumé:
When first published in 1970, The Uses of Disorder, was a call to arms against the deadening hand of modernist urban planning upon the thriving chaotic city. Written in the aftermath of the 1968 student uprising in the US and Europe, it demands a reimagination of the city and how class, city life and identity combine. Too often, this leads to divisions, such as the middle class flight to the suburbs, leaving the inner cities in desperate straits. In response, Sennett offers an alternative image of a “dense, disorderly, overwhelming cities” that allow for change and the development of community. Fifty years later this book is as essential as it was when it first came out, and remains an inspiration to architects, planners and urban thinkers everywhere.
