Ahali is the Turkish word for a community based on being at a particular location at a particular moment in time. It is a community defined through contingency, as opposed to cemaat , which translates as community in the traditional sense -- bound by a commonality of belief, kinship, origin or a more durational locality. In contrast, Ahali stands for the community that(...)

Résumé:
Ahali is the Turkish word for a community based on being at a particular location at a particular moment in time. It is a community defined through contingency, as opposed to cemaat , which translates as community in the traditional sense -- bound by a commonality of belief, kinship, origin or a more durational locality. In contrast, Ahali stands for the community that exists without a defined or expressed commonality other than being together. This anthology brings together contributions to the journal of the same name, which was first launched in 2007. The journal has been and still is a sporadic art publication and provides a growing collection of works, statements and voices from artistic and spatial practices.

Résumé:
Adolf Loos was an eloquent voice against the squandering of fine materials, ornamentation and unnecessary embellishments. The rational underpinnings of his later assertion that “ornament is crime” first appear in these polemical thrusts at the stylized work of the Viennese secessionists. Few are acquainted with his amusing, incisive, critical and philosophical literary(...)

Adolf Loos was an eloquent voice against the squandering of fine materials, ornamentation and unnecessary embellishments. The rational underpinnings of his later assertion that “ornament is crime” first appear in these polemical thrusts at the stylized work of the Viennese secessionists. Few are acquainted with his amusing, incisive, critical and philosophical literary works on applied design and the essence of style in fin de siecle Vienna.

In 2010, the international congress ‘Architecture: More for Less’ was held in Pamplona.

Résumé:
This book contains the first English-language translation of Propeadeutic Contribution to the Teaching of Architecture Theory (1957), a seminal text, published in Portuguese by the Italo-Brazilian Bo Bardi. It is arguably the first published writing on architecture theory by a practicing woman architect. Accompanying the translation is an introductory essay that interprets Bo Bardi’s text as a critical and constructive theory of architecture built from a collection of textual and visual artifacts. This translation clearly renders Bo Bardi’s work in English, and contextualizes it theoretically, taking into account the specific historical sources and contemporaneous discourses from which it draws. With comparisons to other important architectural pedagogies and theoretical texts of the period, it is also an inquiry into the nature of architecture history and theory, its role in education and its relation to practice.

Marcher s'ouvre sur le ton du plaidoyer et présente une lutte : marcher pour affirmer sa liberté d'homme, pour s'ancrer dans l'espace, fuir les villes et les clôtures et mieux penser le monde. Une promenade en hiver est l'évocation nostalgique d'un paysage enneigé du Massachusetts, où la poésie se mêle à de fines observations, dignes d'un naturaliste, sur le changement des saisons. La contemplation de l'hiver, loin d'être morne et triste, est source d'une vitalité cachée, stimulante pour l'esprit.
