Résumé:
"Hospital Builders" offers a comprehensive appraisal of 32 case studies covering significant healthcare projects in Britain and around the world. Each is thoroughly analysed with a critical description, plans, illustrations and photographs to provide creative information that is of assistance to architects, contractors and managers and all those involved in the procurement and subsequent occupation of the facilities. The ideas and examples are amplified through an exploration of the historical achievements, present circumstances and potential future direction of our modern progressive health service. Current practitioners contribute from first-hand experience and anticipate the implications of private finance initiatives and competitive healthcare partnerships. A central theme throughout the book is the abiding importance of high-quality hospital architecture and the therapeutic benefits to be gained by friendly, human healthcare environments.

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.

Résumé:
This volume surveys the ways in which our globalized world has manifested itself in design since ca 1970, and the ways in which design has evolved to serve a globalized world. The point of departure is a conception of design which encompasses -architecture, graphics, the media, fashion, product and industrial design, as well as the shaping of the manmade environment and of production processes. The focus is on the formation of global networks in the areas of communication, production, commerce, finance, and mobility. The diverse phenomena of globalization are visualized through film, products, clothing, images, and models by well-known artists such as Armin Linke, Fischli Weiss, Didier Faustino, and Thomas Demand. Alongside the shipping container, an indispensable element of globalization, the presentation provides insights into cultural transfer both in the present day and historically, and presents -globalization in relationship to regionalism as well as to worldwide trends.

Smaller architecture

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(...)

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.

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.
