Résumé:
"The Legacy of Transgressive Objects" traces the afterlife and historicization of the concept of transgression in the art, architecture, technology, music and psychedelic practices of 1968 and its legacy, by looking at the objects, materials and images that originally shaped these ideas. These decades saw the fertile cross-pollination of rebellious political and artistic energies: radical architecture suggested a whole new organization of society, artistic practices enthusiastically dissolved boundaries between art and life, and music festivals staged gleeful opportunities for transgression. The material heritage of this historical moment is ambivalent—though often ephemeral and deteriorating, the objects associated with these ideas still function as repositories of time and as evocative physical objects. Against this background, this book traces the historical index of these objects that promised to change the world and now open up to the future horizons of the recent past.

Résumé:
Bicycles as a means of transport in cities are playing an ever more important role. The reasons are: reduction of motorcar traffic, sustainable traffic planning, reduction of noise and exhaust emissions, enhancement of the value of public space, healthier form of transport, savings potential in national health services and infrastructure expenditure. This book illustrates urban design ideas and architectural projects which go far beyond purely redesigning road layouts; its eight essays focus on the trend in urban design, landscape design, and traffic planning, it introduces nine exemplary bicycle traffic concepts in various cities (Barcelona, Copenhagen, New York, and Oslo amongst others), and presents 28 forward-looking individual bicycle infrastructure projects.

In 'The Future of the New' artists, theorists, and professionals working the art field reflect on the role of the arts in a world that is speeding up and changing through joint forces of globalization, digitization, commodification, and financialization. Can artistic innovation still function as a source of critique? How do artists, theorists, and art organizations deal with the changing role of and discourse on innovation? Should we look for alternative ways to innovate, or should we change our discourse and look for other (new!) ways to talk about the new?

Résumé:
Designing gardens, parks and landscapes requires a holistic approach. It also requires extensive specialist knowledge. In courses and manuals the generalist or in-depth levels are frequently under-represented, or the attempted comprehensive view becomes too complex. "Landscape for Architects" now offers a fundamental reference work which is as comprehensive as it is practical and as holistic as it is detailed. Created in cooperation with the Architecture Department of Braunschweig Technical University, Landscape for Architects addresses the aspects of landscape architecture: "questions" are raised with abstract schematic drawings, and possible 'answers' are illustrated with analytical drawings of case studies from the 20th and 21st centuries in order to inspire the reader's own creativity and to support the design process.

Résumé:
Daniel Kiss examines the urban development of Budapest from 1990 to 2010. This period is characterized by the significant decline in communally town planning: given the structural legacies of socialist urbanization, the decentralization of government and resources, and the impact of a post-socialist culture struggle, a trend is being analyzed in which nebulous competencies lead to unclear and thus to a failure of higher-level planning. The ensuing consequence is an increase in large, investment-driven projects: it is characteristic of these privately financed projects that they do not submit to higher level control, in particular when these control bodies are rather weak. This model-based analysis presents the phenomenon as exemplary of the development in post-socialist cities.

Résumé:
To stop. A gesture of resistance in a world primarily designed to encourage work, consumerism, perpetual growth and efficiency. Stopping as an urban practice. In cities where pauses and idleness within specific sites are increasingly discouraged, stopping emerges as a space of rupture, pleasure, intimacy, or simply necessity and rest. In a project begun in 2015 in Mexico(...)

To stop. A gesture of resistance in a world primarily designed to encourage work, consumerism, perpetual growth and efficiency. Stopping as an urban practice. In cities where pauses and idleness within specific sites are increasingly discouraged, stopping emerges as a space of rupture, pleasure, intimacy, or simply necessity and rest. In a project begun in 2015 in Mexico City and further developed in Montreal in 2017, Jean-François Prost explores these realities for their contrasts with the incessant movement of people and related structures in contemporary cities where sometimes even self-constructions of time and space are forbidden.

Résumé:
Au croisement des arts, l'œuvre de Carmelo Bene – acteur, auteur et metteur en scène, pour le théâtre, le cinéma et la télévision, mais aussi romancier et poète – remet systématiquement en question le langage artistique avec lequel il s'exprime. Ni captations de spectacles théâtraux, ni adaptations cinématographiques, ses réalisations pour le petit écran explorent les possibilités techniques et esthétiques offertes par le médium télévisé. Ce volume réunit deux entretiens, respectivement avec les critiques Italo Moscati et Maurizio Grande, publiés au moment de la diffusion du Hamlet télévisé de Carmelo Bene (1978). L'artiste y expose sa méthode de travail et ses idées sur la télévision, ce « médium innocent aux possibilités puissantes, inexplorées ». Relues à l'ère d'Internet, ses réflexions invitent à penser les liens entre spectacle vivant et petit(s) écran(s), mais aussi entre nouveautés technologiques et recherche esthétique, entre avant-gardisme artistique et diffusion de masse.
