Résumé:
We are in the midst of redesigning the world and all its systems as we witness the biggest mass movement of people, goods, factories, frenzied finance and ideas in history. Vast fl ows make the new norm nomadic. Yet there is a yearning for belonging, distinctiveness and identity as the ‘anytime, anyplace, anywhere’ phenomenon enabled by digitization is changing how we interact with space, place and time. Old certainties are crumbling and systems are breaking at escalating speed. Apprehension is in the air as we invent a different kind of city. This is the Civic City. It tries to find a pathway through the major faultlines, dilemmas and potentials of our time – shared lives, inequality, environmental distress and urban vitality. This is a place where we reinvent anchorage, an urban commons, connection, but also possibility and inspiration. In this new ground-breaking book, the inventor of the Creative City concept helps us navigate the evolving urban landscapes and its potential.

The enormous increase of urbanisation characterising the 20th century often overlays the architectural approaches that took place when cities were founded and continue to have an effect into the present day. Many cities have been newly planned and built from the ground up and relevant new towns' yards are open in Asia and Africa. What they all have in common is the search(...)

Résumé:
The enormous increase of urbanisation characterising the 20th century often overlays the architectural approaches that took place when cities were founded and continue to have an effect into the present day. Many cities have been newly planned and built from the ground up and relevant new towns' yards are open in Asia and Africa. What they all have in common is the search for a new urban beginning. The aim of ambitious programs in the forthcoming decades should especially be a better control of the growth of metropolises and urbanised regional patterns, with a view to the environmental behaviour of people. This book, which not only presents fundamental international planning features, examines factors such as location, size and layout in particular, as well as the spatial value of new metropolises.

Résumé:
During the last decades architecture has been largely characterized by a lack of strong positions. A form of neoliberal indifference has become endemic, something that can be attributed to the fact that modernism has lost its claim to be both emancipatory and educational.

Résumé:
During the last decades architecture has been largely characterized by a lack of strong positions. A form of neoliberal indifference has become endemic, something that can be attributed to the fact that modernism has lost its claim to be both emancipatory and educational. More recently though, one can again observe attitudes that claim to address architecture and urbanism as more engaged with the social and political effects of global capitalism. This book relays a passionate debate between some of the most outstanding theoreticians and eloquent protagonists of this new attitude, leaving us with an overview of such postulated ambitions. Against the liberal “anything goes” and the revival of architectural autonomy, these attitudes believe less in the possibility for even the most experimental architectural object to have a changing effect on society. Their approaches instead vary from activism to the construction of new critical narratives.

Imagine a world without things. There would be nothing to describe, explain, remark on, interpret, or complain about.

Résumé:
Imagine a world without things. There would be nothing to describe, explain, remark on, interpret, or complain about. Without things, we would, in short, stop speaking; we would become as mute as objects are alleged to be. In nine original essays, internationally renowned historians of art and of science seek to understand how objects become charged with significance without losing their gritty materiality. Things That Talk aims to escape the opposition between positivist facts and cultural readings that bifurcates the current historiography of both art and science.

Michel Thiollière, par le biais d'une conversation, nous fait découvrir un acteur essentiel de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme des soixante dernières années, qui a côtoyé et admiré aussi bien Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto, Kenzo Tange, Mies van der Rohe, Walter Gropius que Frank Lloyd Wright.

Résumé:
"J'ai trouvé ce que vous disiez si extraordinaire que j'ai estimé que certaines choses devaient être consignées pour l'histoire de l'architecture." Ainsi débute la conversation entre Ieoh Ming Pei et Fumihiko Maki. Ieoh Ming Pei, né en 1917, a réalisé après la rénovation du Louvre d'autres bâtiments, dont le musée scientifique de Macao. Fumihiko Maki, né en 1928, a achevé en 2015 WTC 4, une des tours de Ground Zero à New York. Tous deux sont lauréats du prix Pritzker : c'est dire si leur histoire personnelle et professionnelle se confond avec l'Histoire de l'architecture. En évoquant leur vie, leur carrière et leurs rencontres, ils font revivre celles de Gropius, Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto, Mies van der Rohe, et de tant d'autres personnalités du monde de l'architecture ou de l'art.
