Résumé:
Les enfants sont les oubliés de la ville. La plupart des urbanistes, architectes, éducateurs, élus et parents ignorent les droits des enfants (1959). L'écrasante majorité des enfants sont condamnés à jouer dans des espaces confinés appelés "aires de jeux", parfois ils s'échappent dans des friches et autres terrains vagues... Les cours de récréation sont généralement laides et inadaptées. Les parcours quotidiens entre le logement et l'école sont insécures et ternes. Là où l'enfant se trouve tranquille c'est le plus souvent chez lui, devant l'écran de son ordinateur ou de sa tablette. Autant dire qu'il vit dans un monde qu'il façonne à partir de ses rêveries et de ses envies... Les conférences réunies dans ce livre dressent un état des lieux et proposent des pistes pratiques dans la perspective des enfants, de ce qu'ils sont et sentent, de leurs besoins et de leurs attentes.

Résumé:
Forget revolution – it’s time for reform. As the authors of this essay collection argue, sometimes the most effective path to meaningful change is to work within existing institutions and slowly, surely, push for it. This is all the more relevant for architecture, which by definition is entrenched in larger social, economic, and political contexts. Four essays on diverse topics like urban planning policy in Mumbai, unconventional city forms in Detroit, municipal housing in Diyarbakir (Turkey), and collaborative design processes in Tirana (Albania) attempt to challenge and shift the way we understand and implement reform in the design disciplines.

Résumé:
The Under the Influence book is based upon the eponymous symposium, which brought together scholars and practitioners of architecture in order to focus on one of the most anxious disciplinary topics: influence. The symposium invited each of the participants to illuminate a single term -- a disciplinary synonym for appropriation--and through that term, the specific strategies, historical, and disciplinary circumstances in which it is enmeshed. It was organized and hosted by Ana Miljacki, and presented by the MIT Department of Architecture. The book includes introductory texts by Mario Carpo and Nader Tehrani and discussions moderated by Ana Miljacki, Amanda Reeser Lawrence, and Michael Kubo. Participants include Alexander D'Hooghe, Florian Idenburg, Enrique Walker, Michael Meredith, Sam Jacob, Cristina Goberna, Urtzi Grau, Amanda Reeser Lawrence, Ines Weizman, Mariana Ibanez, Simon Kim, Timothy Hyde, John McMorrough, Eric Howeler, and Meejin Yoon.

Résumé:
If participation has been an ideal in politics since ancient democracy, in art it became central only with the avant-gardes emerging from WWI and the Russian Revolution. Politics and aesthetics are still catching up with each other. In the 21st Century, since the revolutionary unrest of the 1960s, participation in art and architecture has lost its utopian glow and become the focus of a fierce debate: does ‘participatory’ art and architecture shape social reality, or is it shaped by it?Contemporary critics see in participation only technocratic control, while others embrace it as a viable politics in an era of global capitalism. This volume breaks the impasse by looking at how participants themselves exert power, rather than being victimized or liberated from it. From artists hijacking Google Earth to protesters setting up a museum of the revolution in Cairo, art, architecture, and daily life are explored in their participatory dimension.
