Résumé:
Media history is millions, even billions, of years old. That is the premise of Jussi Parikka’s book, A Geology of Media, which argues that to adequately understand contemporary media culture we must set out from material realities that precede media themselves—Earth’s history, geological formations, minerals, and energy.

Résumé:
Stone maps the force, vivacity, and stories within our most mundane matter, stone. For too long stone has served as an unexamined metaphor for the really real: blunt factuality, nature s curt rebuke. Yet, medieval writers knew that stones drop with fire from the sky, emerge through the subterranean lovemaking of the elements, tumble along riverbeds from Eden, partner with(...)

Résumé:
Stone maps the force, vivacity, and stories within our most mundane matter, stone. For too long stone has served as an unexamined metaphor for the really real: blunt factuality, nature s curt rebuke. Yet, medieval writers knew that stones drop with fire from the sky, emerge through the subterranean lovemaking of the elements, tumble along riverbeds from Eden, partner with the masons who build worlds with them. Such motion suggests an ecological enmeshment and an almost creaturely mineral life.Although geological time can leave us reeling, Jeffrey Jerome Cohen argues that stone s endurance is also an invitation to apprehend the world in other than human terms.

Résumé:
On a rainy day in May 2007, the mayor of Paris inaugurated the Jardins d'Eole, a park whose completion was hailed internationally as an exemplar of sustainable urbanism. The park was the result of a hard-fought, decadelong protest movement in a low-income Maghrebi and African immigrant district starved for infrastructure, but the Mayor's vision of urban sustainability was(...)

Résumé:
On a rainy day in May 2007, the mayor of Paris inaugurated the Jardins d'Eole, a park whose completion was hailed internationally as an exemplar of sustainable urbanism. The park was the result of a hard-fought, decadelong protest movement in a low-income Maghrebi and African immigrant district starved for infrastructure, but the Mayor's vision of urban sustainability was met with jeers.Drawing extensively from immersive, firsthand ethnographic research with northeast Paris residents, as well as an analysis of green architecture and urban design, Andrew Newman argues that environmental politics must be separated from the construct of urban sustainability, which has been appropriated by forces of redevelopment and gentrification in Paris and beyond.

A travers des villes, Frédéric Lenne explore la Ville : des rouages politiques et culturels qui la composent, aux quotidiennetés, qui façonnent pour chacun une image presque intime du lieu. D'un mot à l'autre, l'auteur questionne cette forme complexe : à quoi ressemble-t-elle ? Entre mutations historiques et nouveaux enjeux territoriaux, quel est son devenir ? Et pour "l'usager", comment y advenir, y vivre, voire y "survivre" ? 101 mots donc, à l'usage de tous, essentiels pour mieux appréhender l'horizon urbain aujourd'hui.

Extension du domaine de l’urbanisme porte le message de Frédéric Bonnet, Grand Prix de l’urbanisme 2014, pour offrir stratégie et qualité urbaine à tous les territoires. Penser le rural comme l’urbain, les lisières de ville, la nature comme structure de l’urbanité et comme support des déplacements doux, la contrainte des risques comme moteur d’une amélioration incrémentale du territoire. Faire en sorte que toute action architecturale serve l’urbain, que la difficulté soit le prétexte à inventer d’autres manières de penser le projet, économe, frugal parfois, mais toujours efficace pour que la durabilité devienne source d’inventivité et de plaisir.

Résumé:
Since the beginning of the century, the field of architecture has fervently turned its attention to documenting the contemporary urban condition. Every city has been examined as a repository of architectural concepts, scrutinized as an urban manifesto, and recorded as a series of found objects. "The Ordinary" articulates a potential genealogy for this practice and for the genre of books derived from it. Organized around conversations with the authors of three seminal texts that document the city—Denise Scott Brown's "Learning from Las Vegas" (1972), Rem Koolhaas's "Delirious New York" (1978), and Yoshiharu Tsukamoto's "Made in Tokyo" (2001)—this volume traces the history of these "books on cities" by examining the material they recorded, the findings they established, the arguments they advanced, and the projects they promoted. These conversations also question the assumptions underlying this practice and whether in its ubiquity it still remains a space of opportunity.
