Résumé:
"Lots of parking" examines a neglected aspect of this rise of the automobile: the impact on America not of cars in motion but of cars at rest. While most studies have tended to focus on highway construction and engineering improvements to accommodate increasing flow and the desire for speed, John A. Jakle and Keith A. Sculle examine a fundamental feature of the urban, and suburban, scene—the parking lot. Their lively and exhaustive exploration traces the history of parking from the curbside to the rise of public and commercial parking lots and garages and the concomitant demolition of the old pedestrian-oriented urban infrastructure. In an accessible style enhanced by a range of interesting and unusual illustrations, Jakle and Sculle discuss the role of parking in downtown revitalization efforts and, by contrast, its role in the promotion of outlying suburban shopping districts and its incorporation into our neighborhoods and residences.

Résumé:
The Color Revolution traces the relationship of color and commerce, from haute couture to automobile showrooms to interior design, describing the often unrecognized role of the color profession in consumer culture. Blaszczyk examines the evolution of the color profession from 1850 to 1970, telling the stories of innovators who managed the color cornucopia that modern artificial dyes and pigments made possible. These "color stylists," "color forecasters," and "color engineers" helped corporations understand the art of illusion and the psychology of color.

In Wanderlust: A History of Walking, Rebecca Solnit draws together many histories, of anatomical evolution and city design, of treadmills and labyriths, of walking clubs and sexual mores, to create a portrait of the range of possibilities for this most basic act.

Résumé:
In Wanderlust: A History of Walking, Rebecca Solnit draws together many histories, of anatomical evolution and city design, of treadmills and labyriths, of walking clubs and sexual mores, to create a portrait of the range of possibilities for this most basic act. Arguing that walking as history signifies walking for pleasure and for political, aesthetic, and social meaning, Solnit hones in on the walkers whose everyday and extreme acts have shaped our culture, from the peripatetic philosophers of ancient Greece to the poets of the romantic Age, from the perambulations of the Surrealists to the ascents of the mountaineers. Solnit's book finds a profound relationship between walking and thinking, walking and culture, and argues for the necessity of preserving the time and space in which to walk in an evermore automobile-dependent and accelerated world.

The publication cites Ed Ruscha’s iconic artist’s book ''Twentysix gasoline stations'' from 1963, and thus spans an arc from the automobile culture of the American Sixties to our own European present, questioning the direction in which we wish to shape this development.

Résumé:
The publication cites Ed Ruscha’s iconic artist’s book ''Twentysix gasoline stations'' from 1963, and thus spans an arc from the automobile culture of the American Sixties to our own European present, questioning the direction in which we wish to shape this development. A hairdresser, an Asian market, signs upon signs, curtains, and—behind these—apartments. At first glance, a street like any other, but something irritates. Finally, you realize that the images depict only vacancies. The buildings on Waldeggstrasse have been unoccupied for ten years, and it will be almost another ten years before the “gap” is closed to form an inner-city expressway axis. The images by the Austrian photo artist Otto Hainzl link the dramaturgy of social life with questions about urban development concepts.

Résumé:
Au milieu des années 1980, John Brinckerhoff Jackson entama une collaboration de plusieurs années avec le photographe Peter Brown, en vue de décrire le paysage de l'Ouest américain, dans les Hautes Plaines. Ils parcourent le Texas, le Nouveau Mexique, photographiant, discutant avec les habitants. Ce livre est le résultat de cette aventure. Jackson raconte les mutations de l'Ouest américain, depuis l'arrivée des premiers pionniers, "le premier aperçu terrifiant d'un pays dépourvu de maisons, de routes et même d'arbres", "les horizons tremblants, une étendue sans immobile au milieu". Il raconte la sociabilité des cow-boys, l'expansion des fils barbelés, la grille, la culture automobile, l'émergence du strip. Il dessine le changement séculaire d'une ville à la fois générique et imaginaire, Choctaw City. Une genèse de l'Amérique à travers l'invention de son temps et de son espace propres.
