Résumé:
D’une façon générale, on considère que les surélévations participent aux objectifs d’intensification du renouvellement urbain et aux besoins de construction de logements par une densification des tissus bâtis existants. En effet, longtemps envisagées comme une question purement architecturale, tout au plus technique, les surélévations sont de nos jours perçues comme un exercice complexe qui implique des approches multiples et pluridisciplinaires. Cet ouvrage vise à faire un « arrêt sur image » sur les surélévations, notamment en mettant l’accent sur la spécificité genevoise en la matière.

Résumé:
Partout et constamment, la logique de l'accumulation capitaliste bouleverse les équilibres économiques et politiques, la technique et le travail, l'environnement et le climat, les sociétés et les formes de vie. Le capitalisme est, à quelque échelle qu'on le considère, un système de production de l'espace, c'est-à-dire un pouvoir de façonner les lieux, de modifier en profondeur les paysages, de transformer les rapports spatio-temporels. L'uniformisation du monde par le marché implique en effet une incessante prolifération des différences - économiques, sociales, géographiques, culturelles, géopolitiques. Ce dynamisme même fait du capitalisme un ensemble instable, en proie à des crises chroniques, perpétuellement contraint d'inventer des « solutions spatiales » aux contradictions qui le minent et aux catastrophes diverses qu'elles engendrent. Production et destruction, homogénéisation et différenciation : pour comprendre un capitalisme désormais planétaire, donc se donner les moyens d'en sortir, de briser les rapports inégalitaires qui le fondent, il est essentiel de saisir les logiques spatiales de ce mode de production. C'est à cela que nous invite l'oeuvre du géographe David Harvey, à laquelle ce livre se veut une introduction synthétique.

Résumé:
In “The Critic as Artist”, Oscar Wilde harnesses his famous wit to demolish the supposed boundary between art and criticism. Subtitled “Upon the Importance of Doing Nothing and Discussing Everything”, the essay takes the form of a leisurely dialogue between two characters: Ernest, who insists upon Wilde’s own belief in art’s freedom from societal mandates and values, and a quizzical Gilbert. With his playwright’s ear for dialogue, Wilde champions idleness and contemplation as prerequisites to artistic cultivation. Beyond the well-known dictum of art for art’s sake, Wilde’s originality lays an argument for the equality of criticism and art. For him, criticism is not subject to the work of art, but can in fact precede it: the artist cannot create without engaging his or her critical faculties first. And, as Wilde writes, “To the critic the work of art is simply a suggestion for a new work of his own.” The field of art and criticism should be open to the free play of the mind, but Wilde plays seriously, even prophetically.

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.

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.
