Résumé:
Dépassant le concept abstrait de « ville émergente » , cet ouvrage nous permet de comprendre le « modèle chinois » dans son efficience et son pouvoir de transformation de l’espace urbain depuis une vingtaine d’années, au Xinjiang et en Mongolie intérieure. Outil stratégique dans la « sinisation » des villes-oasis des Routes de la soie, de peuplement Ouïgour et de confession musulmane, la régularité chinoise modèle les zones d’expansion que sont, avec le Tibet, le Xinjiang, la Mongolie extérieure. Le développement économique que la Chine connaît depuis une vingtaine d’années confère à cette réorganisation de l’espace engagée depuis longtemps, une rapidité et une radicalité exceptionnelles. Des scenarios inédits de destruction, de transformation ou d’édification de villes apparaissent.

Résumé:
This artist's book collects a photo series taken in spring 2017 in Myanmar, one of the Buddhism's sacred places, where one hundred or so temples have been destroyed by a recent earthquake. Now the pagodas affected by the earthquake, covered by thin bamboo structures, have taken original and unexpected forms, hanging between architecture and art, life and destruction. This temporary condition allowed Isola to catalogue, study and also to develop a sort of appropriation. Hilario Isola (born 1976 in Turin, where he lives and works) is a visual artist primarily working with installation, drawing and sculpture. He graduated in Art History and Museology and his interests still span through art history, architecture and natural environments.

Comme le rite initiatique, le moment du diplôme marque le passage entre une période vouée à l’acquisition des connaissances et une autre dédiée à leur application. Il est une frontière entre un monde ou l’expérimentation, l’erreur, la remise en cause, la destruction sont encouragés, et un univers dans lequel la maîtrise des compétences et le contrôle de soi constituent des jalons essentiels. Fidèle à ce rendez-vous annuel, la rédaction du magazine a sélectionné pour ce numéro spécial 50 projets de diplômes européens issus des écoles d'art, de design et de communication. Ils renseignent sur les préoccupations et les motivations des futurs graphistes et designers et dessinent d'ores et déjà les contours du monde à venir.

Résumé:
Devastation in the Amazon rainforest and the climate change it triggers tend to unfold in ways that are too vast to comprehend, too minute to perceive, and too normalised to see. In an attempt to render the scale and urgency of the Amazon’s extensive, impending collapse, Richard Mosse’s most ambitious work to date employs a dazzling array of photographic techniques. Broken Spectre is an immersive, 74-minute film that shifts between a manifold of ecological narratives, from the topographic to the anthropocentric, and to a careful examination of nonhuman violence and survival. Mosse and his team spent years documenting different fronts of destruction, degradation and environmental crimes in the Amazon Basin and related eco-systems.

Résumé:
This publication is the story of a city that has stood at the crossroads of Mediterranean civilization for more than four thousand years. It takes the reader from the ancient to the modern world, offering a dazzling panorama of the city's Seleucid, Roman, Arab, Ottoman, and French incarnations. This book describes Beirut's growth in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, concentrating on its emergence after the Second World War as a cosmopolitan capital until its near destruction during the devastating Lebanese civil war of 1975-1990. Generously illustrated, Beirut illuminates contemporary issues of modernity and democracy while at the same time memorably recreating the atmosphere of one of the world's most picturesque, dynamic, and resilient cities.

Résumé:
Jean-Marc Gancille expose un tableau sans concession de la relation que l’être humain a nouée avec le monde animal, fondée sur la domination et l’exploitation. Sacrifices religieux, collections et commerce d’animaux sauvages, domestication, utilisation à des fins militaires ou pour des expériences de laboratoires, captivité forcée dans les zoos et aquariums, chasse et pêche récréatives, élevage intensif ou surpêche, etc. On n’en finit pas d’établir la liste des formes qu’adopte l’anthropocentrisme. L’auteur démontre que ce carnage n’est pas seulement un éternel enfer pour les animaux, mais aussi une tragédie pour l’espèce humaine (en raison de la destruction des écosystèmes), une négation immorale d’êtres sentients et une supercherie de l’industrie agroalimentaire (qui entretient l’idée que la consommation de protéines animales serait nécessaire).

Résumé:
American cities' penchants for single-use zoning and free-market development in pursuit of economic growth have produced problems that have long been recognized: grueling commutes and dependency on automobiles, social isolation, expensive public infrastructure, needless destruction of countryside. Eminent domain disputes rage on, despite recent Supreme Court decisions. Outdated public housing and failed single-function projects litter the landscape. Addressing these urgent problems and debating the public's role in urban planning, the contributors to Urban Planning Today report on real projects in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, New York, Omaha, Portland, and Vancouver. They bring varying, and sometimes divergent, perspectives from backgrounds in urban design and development, city and regional planning, criticism, and law to bear on the mixed bag of results observed in these cities.

Résumé:
Drawing on rich historical research, Silvia Federici maps the connections between the previous forms of enclosure that occurred with the birth of capitalism and the destruction of the commons and the "new enclosures" at the heart of the present phase of global capitalist accumulation. Considering the commons from a feminist perspective, this collection centers on women and reproductive work as crucial to both our economic survival and the construction of a world free from the hierarchies and divisions capital has planted in the body of the world proletariat. Federici is clear that the commons should not be understood as happy islands in a sea of exploitative relations but rather autonomous spaces from which to challenge the existing capitalist organization of life and labor.

Résumé:
Kengo Kuma's ''Architecture of defeat,'' now available in English for the first time, explores events and architectural trends in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in both Japan and beyond. It brings together a collection of essays which Kuma wrote after disasters such as the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York City on 9/11 and the earthquake and tsunami that obliterated much of the built landscape on Japan’s northern shore in a matter of minutes in 2011. Asking if we have been building in a manner that is too self-confident or arrogant, he examines architecture’s intrinsic- and often problematic- relationship to the powerful forces of contemporary politics, economics, consumerism, and technology, as well as its vital ties to society.
