Résumé:
Dès l'origine, la Ville lutte contre la Mort : pour combler le déficit des épidémies et des nuisances qui la déciment, elle est contrainte de puiser dans le réservoir de la campagne environnante. Cette ponction a commencé en Basse Mésopotamie trois mille ans avant J.-C. et s'est poursuivie pendant cinquante siècles. Pourtant le modèle urbain est en train de mourir sous nos yeux : fin des paysans, villes en crue, fécondité en décrue. Ce livre décrit les défis biologiques qui ont menacé la ville et raconte les révolutions successives qui ont permis d'y faire face. Aventure qui débouche aujourd'hui sur une question inéluctable : comment surmonter les déséquilibres colossaux que l'ère industrielle a accumulés? L'évolution de la ville, partout dans le monde, engendre de nouveaux défis et appelle une nouvelle révolution, dans les consciences comme dans les pratiques.

Résumé:
Novelist and biographer Ackroyd (The Plato Papers; T.S. Eliot; etc.) offers a huge, enthralling "biography" of the city of London. The reader segues through this litany of lists and anthology of anecdotes via the sketchiest of topical linkages, but no matter not a page is dull, until brief closing chapters in which Ackroyd succumbs to bathos, for which he's instantaneously redeemed by the preceding chapters. He admits to using no original research, openly crediting his printed sources. Ackroyd examines London from its pre-history through today, artfully selecting, organizing and pacing stories, and rendering the past in witty and imaginative ways. "The opium quarter of Limehouse," he tells readers, for example, "is now represented by a Chinese take-away." Fast food, it seems, was always part of the London scene. When poet Thomas Southey asked a pastry cook why she kept her shop open in the worst weather, she told him that otherwise she would lose business, "so many were the persons who took up buns or biscuits as they passed by and threw their pence in, not allowing themselves time to enter." Ackroyd covers unrest and peace, fires and ruins, river and rail transport, crime and punishment, wealth and poverty, markets and churches, uncontrolled growth and barely controlled filth. If there is a hero among the throngs, it may be engineer Joseph Bazalgette, who in 1855 began building 1,265 miles of sewers to contain the Stygian odor of progress and keep the huge, ugly metropolis livable. No one should mind the extraordinary price of this extraordinary achievement. B illus., maps not seen by PW. (On sale Oct. 16)Forecast: Published to acclaim in England, this is virtually guaranteed major review coverage here, and the publisher will also shoot for national media. Anglophiles and others will rejoice.

Can "exit" and "disobedience", as envisioned by Virno, be considered as options from an artistic point of view? And what would an insistence on "status" or long-term projects as invoked by Boltanski/Chiapello look like if artists were to take on this strategy? How much can one count on pictures alone, as Mitchell seems to do? And, can pictures really change the "ways of worldmaking"?

Souvent perçue comme le symbole révolu d'une culture académique, elle continue pourtant à exister dans l'architecture contemporaine, essentiellement sous la forme du segment vertical d'une structure complexe visant à libérer le plan. Ce recueil d'essais propose une vision de cet élément à travers les siècles sous un angle qui privilégie l'analyse, la construction, le matériau, la technique. Il plaide pour une histoire de l'architecture réintégrant les contributions décisives des savants et des mathématiciens. Il veut être aussi le point de départ d'une collection d'ouvrages qui vise à décomposer l'architecture en éléments, pour parvenir à constituer une nouvelle histoire de la construction, à la fois technique et théorique, intéressant étudiants, architectes et ingénieurs.

Résumé:
What do phenomena like sprawl, generic city or urban segregation have in common with the concept of the city? This is not an easy question. It is nevertheless the inquiry this book is based on, mainly because of the bewilderment we feel when faced with these phenomena that are spread throughout the urban world and constitute a tall order for our concepts of the city. Expressions like discomposed city, generic city and segregated city refer to entities that share the loss of the city as a space of communication and social interaction and as the space of the public sphere. In order to explore what we call the city adrift, certain positions of scholars of the city are analysed, using the utopia as an analytical category and referring to three kinds the conservative utopia, liquidatory utopia and resistant utopia which can perhaps significantly distinguish the different positions on current spatial trends of the city and, more generally, the phenomena emerging in the urban world. This book investigates how the city can be re-established as the space of dialogue and communication, how the spatial conditions of the public sphere can be created and the city retrieved, and what the features might be of a city retrieved and restored to its citizens. The author adopts the concept of externity as an innovative element for the project for the city, a constituent feature of all those situations traditionally considered non-functional, therefore external, to our contemporary post-cities, which are consigned to us adrift through decomposition, genericity and segregation.
