Résumé:
''Utopia ending'' investigates the urban transformation of London since the 2012 Olympics, and includes photographs taken between 2014 to 2019. Through images and text, including three interviews and a final essay, the author compares the current finance-driven development of the city with the post-WWII expansion based on council houses: investments in social housing have been almost entirely eradicated and the new buildings are more financial assets for global investors, rather than homes for Londoners. Gianluca Calise is an Italian photographer specialized in long-term documentary projects. His research focuses on social issues and on themes related to identity, belonging and memory. 2019 Daylight Photo Award juror’s pick, finalist at Urban Photo Awards 2018 and Charta Dummy Award 2021, his works have been published and exhibited internationally.

How to study public life

Résumé:
How do we accommodate a growing urban population in a way that is sustainable, equitable, and inviting? This question is becoming increasingly urgent to answer as we face diminishing fossil-fuel resources and the effects of a changing climate while global cities continue to compete to be the most vibrant centers of culture, knowledge, and finance. Jan Gehl has been(...)

Résumé:
How do we accommodate a growing urban population in a way that is sustainable, equitable, and inviting? This question is becoming increasingly urgent to answer as we face diminishing fossil-fuel resources and the effects of a changing climate while global cities continue to compete to be the most vibrant centers of culture, knowledge, and finance. Jan Gehl has been examining this question since the 1960s, when few urban designers or planners were thinking about designing cities for people. But given the unpredictable, complex and ephemeral nature of life in cities, how can we best design public infrastructure—vital to cities for getting from place to place, or staying in place—for human use? Studying city life and understanding the factors that encourage or discourage use is the key to designing inviting public space.

Materiality

Résumé:
Throughout history and across social and cultural contexts, most systems of belief—whether religious or secular—have ascribed wisdom to those who see reality as that which transcends the merely material. Yet, as the studies collected here show, the immaterial is not easily separated from the material. Humans are defined, to an extraordinary degree, by their expressions of(...)

Résumé:
Throughout history and across social and cultural contexts, most systems of belief—whether religious or secular—have ascribed wisdom to those who see reality as that which transcends the merely material. Yet, as the studies collected here show, the immaterial is not easily separated from the material. Humans are defined, to an extraordinary degree, by their expressions of immaterial ideals through material forms. The essays in ''Materiality'' explore varied manifestations of materiality from ancient times to the present. In assessing the fundamental role of materiality in shaping humanity, they signal the need to decenter the social within social anthropology in order to make room for the material. Considering topics as diverse as theology, technology, finance, and art, the contributors—most of whom are anthropologists—examine the many different ways in which materiality has been understood and the consequences of these differences.

Depuis soixante-dix ans, la forme urbaine a suivi la finance. Et si elle a gagné en fonctionnalité, la ville y a perdu en humanité. La standardisation à l’œuvre dans la construction et la rentabilité à court terme recherchée par les investisseurs et les promoteurs ont produit des villes et des périphéries imperméables aux chocs environnementaux et sociétaux.

Résumé:
Depuis soixante-dix ans, la forme urbaine a suivi la finance. Et si elle a gagné en fonctionnalité, la ville y a perdu en humanité. La standardisation à l’œuvre dans la construction et la rentabilité à court terme recherchée par les investisseurs et les promoteurs ont produit des villes et des périphéries imperméables aux chocs environnementaux et sociétaux. L’heure est donc venue de transformer le secteur immobilier en profondeur, en imaginant un futur urbain directement connecté à ses habitants. Cet ouvrage est là pour y contribuer. Il donne à voir des utopies individuelles et leurs contours souhaitables pour la ville du futur. Il fait émerger une vision collectivement partagée où réemploi, rénovation, hybridation et renaturation contribuent à façonner des espaces prêts pour le Vivant. Mais il dit aussi ce qu’il manque – une autre manière de financer le bâti –, et quelles pistes devraient être rapidement étudiées par les professionnels.

Résumé:
Souvenons-nous, Roland Barthes a révolutionné notre sens du sens. De la littérature aux mythes modernes, de la sémiologie au discours amoureux, de la publicité à l'intimité - une nouvelle pensée s'est mise en route, qui chemine toujours aujourd'hui par des sentiers souvent invisibles dans l'éblouissement des écrans. Ce volume en présente des moments clés : la religion et ses impacts sociaux ; l'image et ses destins physiques, psychiques, télévisuels et artistiques ; les secrets du langage et de ses sciences ; le retrait et l'expansion de la poésie. C'est la vie du sens passé, présent et à venir qui surgit et vient à notre rencontre, dans la parole et l'écriture de Carlo Ginzburg, Marie-José Mondzain, Michel Deguy, Antoine Culioli et Georges Didi-Huberman. Qui prétend que le sens, comme la finance, serait en faillite ? L'amour du sens persiste ici, au carrefour du sérieux et de la fantaisie.

Résumé:
In this book, Michael Meredith speculates on the possibilities of what Robin Evans once described as a "smaller architecture." "Smaller Architecture" rejects the Larger Architecture that has come to dominate in the last thirty years, with the globalization of architecture, with what Rem Koolhaas celebrated as "Bigness," and with the embrace of new forms of large-scale finance and corporate management. Against the speculative financial models that define Larger Architecture and its rapacious mechanisms of real estate development, Meredith's vision for a "Smaller Architecture" proposes economic and social forms along the lines sketched out by the economist E. F. Schumacher and the urban theorist Jane Jacobs, and inspired by the philosophical writings of Emanuele Coccia, Edouard Glissant and Cornell West. Against the abstract and hierarchical business management models of large corporate firms, "Smaller Architecture" imagines local, radically inclusive, and anarchist forms of organization in smaller practices.
