Résumé:
Par centaines de milliers, obéissant au mot d’ordre « Sortez ! » de Hu Jintao, les Chinois se ruent vers l’Afrique. Pour le pire parfois, pour le meilleur aussi. En échange de matières premières dont le continent noir regorge (pétrole, gaz, métaux, uranium, bois, poissons), l’Empire du Milieu développe l’Afrique et l’intègre dans la mondialisation. Pékin séduit de nombreux dictateurs – en ne posant aucune condition – avec des produits bon marché, drogue à forte accoutumance dans les pays pauvres jusque-là dépendants des produits occidentaux. Grâce à Pékin, l’Afrique, jadis victime de l’afro-pessimisme, vit un boum économique sans précédent. Pour la première fois, l’Afrique a le choix. Les Occidentaux, qui l’avaient laissé tomber, veulent y revenir. Seulement voilà, la place est souvent prise et des conflits se préparent… Qui sont ces aventuriers Chinois ? Dans quels pays vont-ils ? Pour y faire quoi ? Quel est le secret de leur succès ? Comment se passe la rencontre de ces deux mondes si différents ? Et avec quelles conséquences sur les droits de l’homme et l’environnement ? Pour répondre à ces questions, les auteurs ont parcouru quinze pays, sillonnant tout le continent à la rencontre de cette « Chinafrique », des forêts ratiboisées du Congo aux rivages venimeux du Nigeria, des sables militairement mouvants du Niger aux pipelines du Soudan, des souvenirs d’Egypte made in China aux restaurants gastronomiques de Douala, des campagnes misérables de la Chine à ce continent mystérieux qu’est l’Afrique pour les nouveaux aventuriers.

Résumé:
Combining place and fiction in an imaginative interpretation of 10 sites in the city of London, CJ Lim takes well-known institutions, epochs and lifestyles in the British capital and renders them fantastic in a string of architectural short stories. The medium is an intersection of paper assemblages with short stories. The stories have been exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts and the Victoria and Albert Museum but are collected for the first time in a single volume, laid out as they were designed to be seen as one phantasmogoric city vision. Painstakingly constructed, the stories assemble a sequence of improbable marriages between architecture and story, encompassing a retelling of the Three Little Pigs at Smithfield, a dating agency at Battersea, and a ringed transport system manifesting as a celestial river over the great metropolis. Drawing on a wealth of literary symbolism from Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland to Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities and imbued with humour and irony, the book builds on London’s rich mix of extravagance and fictive tradition.

Résumé:
From Camp to City examines the theme of the refugee camp in the context of urbanism and architecture. Using the examples of the refugee camps in the Algerian desert in which Sahrawis originally from the Western Sahara have been living for 35 years, the book looks at the “urban” aspects of these settlements. In contrast to the standard way of seeing refugee camps as scenes of human misery and despair, the examination concentrates on how people live and dwell in refugee camps, on how they work, move around, and enjoy themselves, and looks at the spaces and structures that are created in the process. With numerous images and texts, individual aspects of urban life are presented and analyzed in the different chapters. As an examination of a “borderline case” of urbanity, the publication does not ignore the problematic aspects of this theme, but on the contrary: its potential explosiveness is further underscored by the focus on a “vocabulary of the urban.” It allows an understanding of the camps as a political project. The publication is based on research studies of the ETH Studio Basel, Institute of Contemporary Urbanism at the ETH Zurich.

Architects and urbanists are accustomed to describing and creating the organizational structures, the layouts and physical attributes of our cities. But what are the relations between the design of a city—its form—and the life engendered by that form? Responding to this question is the inspiration for In the Life of Cities. Contributors from a wide range of fields address the role and life of cities as diverse as Baku, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Detroit, Jakarta, Johannesburg, Mumbai, Paris, Quito, St. Petersburg, Tel Aviv, Tirana, and Toronto. Portfolios of contemporary photography present the layered realities of urban life today.
