Résumé:
Le Bauhaus fut une institution créative et pourtant irrésolue. Bien des disputes ont jalonné son histoire. S'il fut fermé d'autorité en 1933 par les nazis à peine arrivés au pouvoir, c'est sans doute parce que ce pouvoir ne pouvait supporter son principe de tension incessante. Pareil événement n'est pas seulement de circonstance. Il relève de possibilités qui n'ont pas(...)

Résumé:
Le Bauhaus fut une institution créative et pourtant irrésolue. Bien des disputes ont jalonné son histoire. S'il fut fermé d'autorité en 1933 par les nazis à peine arrivés au pouvoir, c'est sans doute parce que ce pouvoir ne pouvait supporter son principe de tension incessante. Pareil événement n'est pas seulement de circonstance. Il relève de possibilités qui n'ont pas nécessairement disparu de notre horizon. Que le politique ait pu se déchaîner et que dans ce déchaînement même il n'ait pas admis que soient discutées des questions qui, le plus souvent sous une allure artistique, touchaient en définitive aux valeurs, portées et méthodes du faire ou du produire en général, voilà sur quoi il faut encore réfléchir.

Résumé:
En distinguant trois types d'espaces urbains - la ville consolidée, la ville territoire et l'entre-deux, la ville intermédiaire -, ce livre, qui entérine la fin du «tout voiture», explore les pistes d'un nouvel équilibre urbain basé sur la «ville marchable», la mobilité multiple, l'hybridation des modes de transport et le recours aux outils numériques. Il présente nombre de recherches et d'expérimentations qui articulent mobilité et politiques urbaines, pour reconfigurer l'espace public. Le but : ouvrir des marges de recomposition urbaine, allant jusqu'à faire évoluer le modèle dominant de la ville étalée, ainsi que l'esthétique urbaine, en faveur d'une mobilité assumée et non subie, dans une vision renouvelée du développement durable.

Résumé:
Cities today have become portfolios of investment properties with token patches of green. The cost to live in a fortress-like luxury housing complex in London or Manhattan is so high that most of us can’t afford it. As the masses move to the suburbs, the construction industry responds by churning out clusters of the same barracks-style row houses, ensuring that, there(...)

Résumé:
Cities today have become portfolios of investment properties with token patches of green. The cost to live in a fortress-like luxury housing complex in London or Manhattan is so high that most of us can’t afford it. As the masses move to the suburbs, the construction industry responds by churning out clusters of the same barracks-style row houses, ensuring that, there too, one can live in utmost privacy and security. But what do these buildings say about us? Do they have anything to do with the way in which most people actually want to live?

In 1927, while a student of architecture at the Moscow Vhutemas, Georgii Krutikov presented a vision for a flying city. More than just a flight of architectural fancy, Krutikov’s flying city was a utopian dream, a plan to solve the seemingly intractable problems of overcrowding and resource depletion by moving humanity’s living quarters to space.

Résumé:
In 1927, while a student of architecture at the Moscow Vhutemas, Georgii Krutikov presented a vision for a flying city. More than just a flight of architectural fancy, Krutikov’s flying city was a utopian dream, a plan to solve the seemingly intractable problems of overcrowding and resource depletion by moving humanity’s living quarters to space. Inspired in equal parts by sci-fi dreams of space travel and the revolutionary idealism that still percolated in the Soviet Union at that time, Krutikov created an incredible amount of detailed information about his city: sketches, drawings, plans, and more.

Résumé:
Parachute was founded in 1975 by Chantal Pontbriand and France Morin. Following the previous three Parachute volumes, this last title of the Parachute anthology focuses on painting, sculpture, installation and architecture. These topics are approached from several perspectives: from new theories of aesthetic production, especially painting, to the expansion of the art world to other artistic territories during the 1980s and 1990s (Russia and South America, for instance), from the "lessons" of postmodernism to the proliferation of installation art. The essays discuss works by artists such as Lothar Baumgarten, Mona Hatoum, Guillermo Kuitca, Louise Lawler, Reinhard Mucha, Jackson Pollock, Robert Ryman, Michael Snow and Sots Art artists, and include two particularly seminal artist's essays: Dan Graham on Gordon Matta-Clark, and Jeff Wall on Édouard Manet.

Résumé:
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the John Lindsay administration in New York City created innovative policies to try to draw on-location media production to the city. At the same time, the New York City Planning Commission was producing a wealth of documents that clearly reflect the influence of various media depictions of New York. Imaginary Apparatus reveals the links between those two efforts, showing how they fed each other. As more and more films and TV shows were shot on location in New York, mediated images of the city and its buildings proliferated—and those same images exerted a powerful influence on the imaginations of the planners who were generating ideas for New York’s future development. Included with thisbook is a DVD featuring the movie What Is the City but the People?, the film version of the 1969 "Plan for New York City" and a unique document that has never before been publicly available.

Résumé:
Informal markets are a central feature of the 21st century's first tumultuous years. Both part of and response to the homogenizing forces of globalization, they constitute a volatile shadow system of heterogeneous micro-locations. Informal Market Worlds maps this new kind of urban system emerging from ongoing deregulations and realignments. Bringing together imaginative architectural approaches with texts by key contemporary thinkers, the two-part Informal Market Worlds explores new ways to interrupt the dominant logics of neoliberal governance. With groundbreaking research, the hefty Atlas includes 73 case studies, in locations ranging from Kabul's post-conflict Bush Bazaar to Arizona's Snow Birds hipster markets. Offering a global perspective on the conflicted realities of informal marketplaces--from survival activities of the urban poor to transnational clandestine trade networks--these analyses reveal how informality has become a political instrument in the struggles around global market integration.
