Résumé:
In the space between archaeology and history stand men like Scott Jordan, a New Yorker who has been digging around in the city's soil for several decades. What began as a childhood hobby searching for treasure evolved into a lifestyle that has resulted in Jordan haunting building sites throughout the five boroughs, attempting to recover history before it is paved over forever.

Résumé:
Collected here for the first time are Liam Gillick’s major fictional texts: ‘McNamara Papers’, Ibuka’, ‘Discussion Island/Big Conference Centre’, ‘The Winter School’, with Erasmus is Late and Literally No Place. Within each history and the utopias and alternative visions of society envisioned by writers, filmmakers, philosophers, and scientists are presented and speculated on, often through the fictionalised voices of secondary historical characters. Traversing genres of fiction and critical discourse, ideas are explored in a nonlinear, open-ended discursive format, in which the textual structure mirrors the structuring of the presented ideas. In each text Gillick’s concern is to explore complex, paradoxical historical moments and the ideologies that shaped, reflecting on how the redundant utopian elements of the past continue to structure contemporary society and remain impulses within speculations of our post-utopian future.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage questionne la manière dont l'architecture approche la narration pour constituer son objet. Dans cette réflexion, il ne s'agit pas de débusquer le récit ou une narrativité immédiate dans l'architecture, mais ce qui, dans cet art, tente et contribue, de manière médiate, à "dire" le monde : une iconologie de l'architecture dont quelques actes majeurs révèleront ici les principaux desseins. En considérant le livre de pierres de l'architecture gothique, l'architecture parlante du siècle des lumières, l'espace indicible de l'architecture moderne, jusqu'aux récits programmatiques de l'architecture contemporaine, on voit se construire une trame narrative qui se reconfigure à chaque chapitre de l'histoire pour épouser les idéaux de chaque époque.

Résumé:
The Urban Connection develops a promising actor-relational approach to urban planning. With respect to the usual governmental planning, it is focused outside in, instead of inside out. It derives its leitmotif from the actual debate about state controlled versus neo-liberal planning and reflects on innovative post structuralist scholars in the field of planning, economics, social geography and governance. It then takes its own position in that debate, reflecting on actor-oriented experiments in planning practices. These experiments deal with the daily planning practice with a pro-active and operational attitude, contrary to the usual retrospective case studies. Therefore it results in concrete suggestions on how to develop a more robust planning-approach in an ongoing globalising and fragmenting world.

Résumé:
Change is an inherent feature of any city. As the wide-reaching and complex research conducted for this publication illustrates, this can challenge the rational distribution of functions in the urban space and provide temporary occupation for all sorts of purposes and activities. Here, ‘Occasional Urbanities’ refers to change brought about by the growing complexity of urban societies which sees new forms or urbanism and urban aesthetics arising that at the same time pose new problems for a city. While the term, ‘Post-it’ highlights the moveable aspects of the contemporary urban terrain that gives rise to these mutations – fleeting occupations, accumulation and re-location of objects and travelling micro-communities.

Résumé:
Locus of the City examines the potential of the Grassmarket - an area in the heart of Edinburgh - in terms of its narratives and visual codes, to define its past, current and future state. Looking at the city from numerous perspectives - the geologist, architectural historian, museum curator, architect, minister, astronomer, artist, lawyer, inhabitant - it places these perceptions within a multi-layered matrix which is embodied in the site. Including new commissioned artwork, this innovative book is about seeing afresh the interconnections and meanings of place and context. Handsome and intriguing, mixing up urban photography, performance documentation and outsider art, not only is this title a must for devotees of Scotland's storied capital, but for anyone with an interest in urban perception.

Résumé:
Pulitzer Prize–winning critic Paul Goldberger’s tenure at The New Yorker has documented a captivating era in the world of architecture, one in which larger-than-life buildings, urban schemes, historic preservation battles, and personalities have commanded an international stage. Goldberger’s keen observations and sharp wit make him one of the most insightful and passionate architectural voices of our time. In this collection of fifty-seven essays, the critic Tracy Kidder called “America’s foremost interpreter of public architecture” ranges from Havana to Beijing, from Chicago to Las Vegas, dissecting everything from skyscrapers by Norman Foster and museums by Tadao Ando to airports, monuments, suburban shopping malls, and white-brick apartment houses. This is a comprehensive account of the best—and the worst—of the “age of architecture.”
