Résumé:
Dubaï collectionnait les records : le plus grand hôtel du monde, la plus grande tour, la plus grande concentration de grues... Or, fin 2009, Dubaï et son fleuron, la société publique Dubaï World, échappent difficilement à la faillite : dette estimée à 59 milliards de dollars! Cette chute symbolise la fin d'un cycle dans le développement urbain - et dans la manière de faire la ville - dans l'urbanisme. Tel est le propos de cet essai qui veut, à la fois, saisir les changements profonds dans la manière de "faire la ville" qui se sont opérés depuis trente ans sous la pression de l'urbanisme libéral, les conséquences des bouleversements actuels, et dessiner des pistes possibles pour l'urbanisme d'après crise qui est pour l'instant encore balbutiant.

Résumé:
There has been a Dutch policy on the compact city for almost a quarter of a century now. It has been driven by the four major cities in Randstad Holland which, following the economic crises of the 1970s and the policy of clustered dispersal, found themselves confronted with a massive decrease in middle and higher income groups. At the same time there were new insights(...)

Résumé:
There has been a Dutch policy on the compact city for almost a quarter of a century now. It has been driven by the four major cities in Randstad Holland which, following the economic crises of the 1970s and the policy of clustered dispersal, found themselves confronted with a massive decrease in middle and higher income groups. At the same time there were new insights into the importance of strong cities in the emerging global network economy. This collection of writings takes stock of the situation and traces a number of contour lines that suggest ways a compact city policy can be meaningful and effective in today’s setting.

Résumé:
In the mid-twentieth century, Henry Dreyfuss, widely considered the father of industrial design, pioneered a user-centered approach to design that focuses on studying people's behaviors and attitudes as a key first step in developing successful products. In the intervening years, user-centered design has expanded to undertake the needs of differently abled users and global populations as well as the design of complex systems and services. Beautiful Users explores the changing relationship between designers and users and considers a range of design methodologies and practices, from user research to hacking, open source, and the maker culture.

Completed in 1955 from a design by the acclaimed landscape design firm Simonds & Simonds and architects Mitchell & Ritchey, Mellon Square functioned as an urban oasis that provided downtown office workers a much-needed respite from the city's infamous smoke pollution.

Résumé:
One of the seminal texts of graphic design, Paul Rand's Thoughts on Design is now back in print for the first time since the 1970s. Writing at the height of his career, Rand articulated in his slender volume the pioneering vision that all design should seamlessly integrate form and function. This facsimile edition preserves Rand's original 1947 essay with the adjustments he made to its text and imagery for a revised printing in 1970, and adds only an informative and inspiring new foreword by design luminary Michael Bierut. As relevant today as it was when first published, this classic treatise is an indispensable addition to the library of every designer.

Résumé:
In Cubed, Nikil Saval chronicles the evolution of the office in a fascinating, often funny, and sometimes disturbing anatomy of the white-collar world and how it came to be the way it is. Drawing on the history of architecture and business, as well as a host of pop culture artifacts—from Mad Men to Dilbert (and, yes, The Office)—and ranging in time from the earliest clerical houses to the surprisingly utopian origins of the cubicle to the funhouse campuses of Silicon Valley, Cubed is an all-encompassing investigation into the way we work, why we do it the way we do (and often don’t like it), and how we might do better.

Par le biais d’une conversation, comme par le choix d’une anthologie de textes, Yann Nussaume nous donne à lire l’oeuvre de Tadao Andô, l’un des grands maîtres de l’architecture japonaise, lauréat du prestigieux prix Pritzker en 1995. Cet architecte développe une réflexion essentielle sur le sens de l’être au monde, de l’habiter, des liens entre bâti et paysage. Face à la crise environnementale, il élève les consciences en proposant de confronter ses contemporains à ce qu’il appelle une nature rendue abstraite : la lumière rendue abstraite, l’eau rendue abstraite, le vent rendu abstrait.

Depuis les années 1980, la question de la qualité des espaces publics est devenue un objet significatif des débats et des pratiques d'aménagement. Mais au delà de la mise en ordre et du lissage de l'espace, comment les usages, les pratiques et représentations des habitants sont-ils pris en compte par les maîtres d'ouvrage et les concepteurs ? La ville "juste", dont les qualités seraient équitablement partagées par tous, est-elle une utopie ? Comment faire en sorte que les projets urbains reflètent les aspirations de l'ensemble des groupes sociaux ?
