Résumé:
In this illustrated volume, Bernard Herman provides a history of urban dwellings and the people who built and lived in them in early America. In the eighteenth century, cities were constant objects of idealization, often viewed as the outward manifestations of an organized, civil society. As the physical objects that composed the largest portion of urban settings, town houses contained and signified different aspects of city life, argues Herman. Taking a material culture approach, Herman examines urban domestic buildings from Charleston, South Carolina, to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, as well as those in English cities and towns, to better understand why people built the houses they did and how their homes informed everyday city life. Working with buildings and documentary sources as diverse as court cases and recipes, Herman interprets town houses as lived experience. Chapters consider an array of domestic spaces, including the merchant family's house, the servant's quarter, and the widow's dower. Herman demonstrates that city houses served as sites of power as well as complex and often conflicted artifacts mapping the everyday negotiations of social identity and the display of sociability.

Résumé:
Après la faillite de son cabinet, Valerio, un architecte, devient la curiosité de son quartier en érigeant une singulière tour de briques au motif encore plus incompréhensible. Au-delà des manifestations de compassion ou de crainte des voisins, l’édifice du vieil homme renvoie un déconcertant constat : celui de la déconstruction de nos villes, de nos sociétés, et de la dislocation de nos vies modernes. Tandis que son gendre, agent immobilier, mène d’intenses tractations pour revendre l’immeuble familial, on en vient à se demander où commence la folie quand elle se bâtit au milieu d’un austère champ de ruines. Une perspective biaisée où économie, police, mais aussi famille et lien social, semblent tous glisser le long d’un fil à plomb... Sur un fond de crise économique, l’histoire romantique et singulière de Valerio, aidé par Chiara, une bénévole du samu social lisboète, nous parle du déclassement des citoyens européens à l’heure de la dégradation de nos conditions de vie, alimentée par une mondialisation nivelant par le bas. Poétique, tragique mais combatif.

Résumé:
Examining the histories of Vancouver’s infrastructures, including railways, ports, the freeway system, fossil-fuel pipelines, and property, Michael Simpson details the various spatial manifestations of settler colonialism and racial capitalism that constitute the city’s urban environment—using it as a case study to reveal such tendencies around the world. Simpson exposes how the seizure of Indigenous lands and the destruction of Black communities has been foundational to the development of the city, and he highlights its structural dependency on these violent legacies, as well as the ongoing struggles to dismantle them. Bringing together theoretical insights from the fields of urban geography, political ecology, and Indigenous studies, Simpson provides a distinctive intervention into contemporary debates around the material basis of logistics and circulation. At a time when massive upheavals to urban infrastructure are taking place in the hopes of establishing greater sustainability, ''Terminal City'' raises important questions about how this moment of transition might be harnessed to bring about decolonial abolitionist futures that redefine what a city can become.

Monarchie et républiques confondues : les grands travaux du prince seraient-ils une spécificité et une passion française ? Cet ouvrage expose un mode d'emploi de l'absolutisme et une interrogation sur le pouvoir. " Architecture parlante ", discours politique par la pierre, le marbre, la peinture, Versailles s'identifie en grande partie au long règne de louis XIV (1643-1715). L'histoire du château : par ses dimensions, par son opulence, par sa richesse artistique, ce palais du " plus grand roi du monde " a été un modèle pour tous les souverains de l'Europe des Lumières. l'histoire d'une forme de pouvoir, ensuite : l'Etat absolu, dont Versailles constitue la cour, fut imité, contesté, avant d'être abattu par les révolutionnaires de 1789. Mais la " grande histoire " ne doit pas masquer les manifestations moins connues de la vie quotidienne à Versailles : rituel contraignant de la cour, problèmes d'intendance, espace bruissant de rumeurs, de cabales, de scandales... Ce volume offre également un dossier d'histoire en construction : les sources et les études multiples qui ont profondément renouvelé la compréhension de ce monument.

Résumé:
By structuring this volume around the concept of form, Stefano Corbo links together Eisenman’s architecture with his theory. The book argues that form is the sphere of mediation between our body, our inner world and the exterior world and, as such, it enables connections to be made between philosophy and architecture. From the start of his career on, Eisenman has been deeply interested in the problem of form in architecture and has constantly challenged the classical concept of it. For him, form is not simply a cognitive tool that determines a physical structure, which discriminates all that is active from what is passive, what is inside from what is outside. He has always tried to connect his own work with the cultural manifestations of the time. These different moments underline different phases, different projects, different programmatic manifestos; and above all, an evolving notion of form. Taking a multi-disciplinary approach based on the intersections between architecture and philosophy, this book investigates all these definitions and, in doing so, provides new insights into and a deeper understanding of the complexity of Eisenman’s work.

Résumé:
The current phase of capitalist development manifests itself through a very diverse range of spatial byproducts: data centers, warehouses, container terminals, logistics parks, and many others. These architectural episodes express specific power relations, exacerbate issues of labor, and generate dramatic processes of subjectivity. Most importantly, these architectures, despite their formal and typological heterogeneity, belong to a common paradigm: the exteriorless. How can an architecture of the exteriorless be defined? How does it differentiate from examples and manifestations of the past? How do notions of legibility, form versus function, typological articulation come into play? In situating the spatialities of contemporary capitalism within the larger debate on Anthropocene, Post-Anthropocene, and Capitalocene, the book attempts to answer those questions by delineating three main characteristics for an architecture of the exteriorless: its physical and symbolic role as interface; its ambiguous condition of being at the same time local and global, isolated and connected, compressed and expanded; and, lastly, its contribution to new forms of urbanity in absence of the traditional city.

Résumé:
One of Japan’s leading contemporary artists, Takashi Murakami (b. 1962) is known for a wide-ranging practice that encompasses not only fine art but fashion, consumer products, curation, and entertainment. Founder of the Superflat movement, Murakami makes art that is larger than life, boldly colored, and buoyant, with a Pop sensibility that draws inspiration from anime and manga. But beyond the happy flowers and kawaii characters that have defined Murakami’s career lurk darker manifestations: the sharp-toothed, multi-eyed monsters that have increasingly become the artist’s vehicle for expressing the effects of rampant consumerism, human fallibility, and the perils of life in the digital fast lane. This book explores these themes in works from the last decade, presenting a disquieting vision of monsterized beings born in an era of unprecedented environmental, political, and social turmoil. Conversations with Murakami and essays by Laura W. Allen, Hiroko Ikegami, and Masako Shiba deconstruct what monsters mean to the artist and reflect on new directions in Murakami’s sculpture and the genesis of his recent NFT projects.
