Résumé:
A profound social change can be observed in the areas of mobility, work, and trade, as well as in the practice of faith, especially in cities. As a result, certain building typologies such as petrol stations, offices, shopping centers, cinemas, and churches are being used less, thus becoming increasingly obsolete and contributing to the obsolescence of the city.

Résumé:
A profound social change can be observed in the areas of mobility, work, and trade, as well as in the practice of faith, especially in cities. As a result, certain building typologies such as petrol stations, offices, shopping centers, cinemas, and churches are being used less, thus becoming increasingly obsolete and contributing to the obsolescence of the city. Three strategies must be considered for the efficient transformation of these structures: the conversion of existing architecture and the preservation of the gray energy they embody; the maximization of land use; and the strengthening of ecological functions to improve the urban microclimate and the quality of living space.

Résumé:
In The Possibility of an Absolute Architecture, Pier Vittorio Aureli proposes that a sharpened formal consciousness in architecture is a precondition for political, cultural, and social engagement with the city. Aureli revisits the work of four architects whose projects were advanced through the making of architectural form but whose concern was the city at large: Andrea Palladio, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Etienne-Louis Boullée, and Oswald Mathias Ungers. The work of these architects, Aureli argues, addressed the transformations of the modern city and its urban implications through the elaboration of specific and strategic architectural forms.

Ses diatribes et attaques constituent une véritable déclaration de guerre contre l'idéologie dominante du fonctionnalisme et du modernisme, entendue comme voie royale du progrès économique et social. Nulle part mieux que dans les transformations de l'art de bâtir, la prégnance de cette nouvelle doxa n'est manifeste. En dépit de quelques travestissements culturels, l'architecture renoue avec sa fonction politique d'inscrire la division de la société dans l'espace, imposant à chaque classe sociale sa place.

It has illuminated itself with twenty-story-high neon signs, then junked them. After that came Disney-like theme parks featuring castles and pirates, followed by replicas of Venetian canals, New York skyscrapers, and the Eiffel Tower. (It might be noted that forty-two million people visited Las Vegas in 2015—ten million more than visited the real Paris.) More recently, the Strip decided to get classy, with casinos designed by famous architects and zillion-dollar collections of art. Las Vegas became the “implosion capital of the world” as developers, driven by competition, got rid of the old to make way for the new—offering a non-metaphorical definition of “creative destruction.” In "The StripW, Stefan Al examines the many transformations of the Las Vegas Strip, arguing that they mirror transformations in America itself. The Strip is not, as popularly supposed, a display of architectural freaks but representative of architectural trends and a record of social, cultural, and economic change.
