Résumé:
Fragments of Wilderness City reviews the work of renowned architect Brian Avery. This publication presents perspectives from academics and architecture historians, exploring projects in India and the Middle East; major cultural commissions such as the National Film Theatre, the Museum of the Moving Image, London Transport Museum, and the Royal Academy of the Dramatic Arts' headquarters in Bloomsbury, London; masterplanning work for Oxford Street in London, The Horniman Museum, and the Avenue of the Emirates in Abu Dhabi. Alongside profiles of their innovative work in product design and within the workplace is an essay by director Bryan Avery, providing insights into his notion of the sustainable 'wilderness city'. This manifesto sets out a vision of an accountable architectural and planning approach to the contemporary city, situated in a natural landscape and taking on board references to both the walled cities of the medieval period and the self-contained urban environments of the twentieth century 'new towns'.

Résumé:
From its invention in Europe at the end of the nineteenth century, the automobile crisscrossed the world, completely took over the cities, and became a feature of daily life. Considered basic to the American lifestyle, the car reflected individualism, pragmatism, comfort, and above all modernity. In Latin America, it served as a symbol of distinction, similar to jewelry or fine clothing. In The Cultural Life of the Automobile, Guillermo Giucci focuses on the automobile as an instrument of social change through its "kinetic modernity" and as an embodiment of the tremendous social impact of technology on cultural life. Material culture--how certain objects generate a wide array of cultural responses--has been the focus of much scholarly discussion in recent years. The automobile wrought major changes and inspired images in language, literature, and popular culture. Focusing primarily on Latin America but also covering the United States, Europe, Asia, and Africa, Giucci examines how the automobile was variously adapted by different cultures and how its use shaped and changed social and economic relationships within them. At the same time, he shows how the "automobilization" of society became an essential support for the development of modern individualism, and the automobile its clearest material manifestation.

Résumé:
La Prosperidad, quartier périphérique de Madrid édifié à la fin du XIXe siècle, est né et s’est développé dans l’extrarradio, ce territoire à vocation rurale en marge de la ville, Ce faubourg en croissance exponentielle a connu une véritable explosion urbaine dans les années 1930. L’analyse du rôle des habitants, acteurs de cette urbanisation spontanée et de leurs rapports avec les pouvoirs publics montrent comment cet informel populaire qu’est l’extrarradio finit par entrer dans la ville officielle. Ce livre se lit comme le roman d’un quartier qui fut, pendant presque un siècle, emblématique du petit peuple de Madrid. Cet ouvrage dépasse le cadre strict de l’histoire locale madrilène et apporte une contribution à l’étude des systèmes urbains et des systèmes d’habitat à l’échelle de l’Europe.
