Résumé:
La ville devrait être l’un des points centraux des propositions politiques. Or, paradoxalement elle est absente des paroles de l’agora. Mais ce silence n’est-il pas finalement à l’image de la vulgate de beaucoup de nos contemporains : une ville dévoreuse d’espace, source de pollution et de mal-être, créatrice et victime des atteintes environnementales, indissociablement(...)

Résumé:
La ville devrait être l’un des points centraux des propositions politiques. Or, paradoxalement elle est absente des paroles de l’agora. Mais ce silence n’est-il pas finalement à l’image de la vulgate de beaucoup de nos contemporains : une ville dévoreuse d’espace, source de pollution et de mal-être, créatrice et victime des atteintes environnementales, indissociablement liée au vertige productiviste et à la montée de l’exclusion et de la violence ? C’est contre cette idéologie anti-urbaine et cet aveuglement amnésique que cet essai voudrait s’inscrire : non seulement la ville fut inséparable de la reconstruction de notre progrès et de notre prospérité après la guerre, mais elle est au cœur des défis de la France d’aujourd’hui.

Résumé:
Bracket 2 examines physical and virtual soft systems, as they pertain to infrastructure, ecologies, landscapes, environments, and networks. In an era of declared crises—economic, ecological and climatic, amongst others—the notion of soft systems has gained increasing traction as a counterpoint to permanent, static and hard systems. Acknowledging fluid and indeterminate situations with complex feedback loops that allow for reaction and adaption, the possibility of soft systems has re-entered the domain of design. Bracket 2 critically positions and defines soft systems through 27 projects and 12 articles. From soft politics, soft power and soft spaces to fluid territories, software and soft programming, Bracket 2 unpacks the use and role of responsive, indeterminate, flexible, and immaterial systems in design.

Résumé:
La porosité est une notion déterminante pour penser la ville contemporaine. Elle s'inscrit dans une conception renouvelée de la mobilité, qui enchevêtre les dimensions sociale et physique. Comprise comme une métaphore, elle sert à penser l'adaptabilité et la stratification des tissus, des eaux, de la végétation et des dynamiques de la nature. La ville poreuse est né de la réflexion menée par Bernardo Secchi et Paola Vigano sur le Grand Paris et la métropole de l'après-Kyoto, à partir de la mission de recherche et projet lancée par la Présidence de la République en 2008. L'hypothèse des auteurs est que toute métropole devra, à l'avenir, se confronter à une "nouvelle question urbaine" qui se décline en trois situations de crise, liées à la croissance progressive des inégalités sociales, à l'accroissement des risques environnementaux et à la mobilité au sens large, sur fond d'une crise économique et politique d'ampleur.

With the invention of telecommunications technologies in the late nineteenth century, the radio-electric spectrum became a tool for rethinking the world in which we live. The emission of radio waves did away with physical distances, crossing borders and cultures and acting as a powerful catalyst for trade.

Résumé:
With the invention of telecommunications technologies in the late nineteenth century, the radio-electric spectrum became a tool for rethinking the world in which we live. The emission of radio waves did away with physical distances, crossing borders and cultures and acting as a powerful catalyst for trade. Moreover, the radio spectrum is the invisible infrastructure on which our information and communication technologies have been built. The history of its scientific discovery and how it was gradually colonized by the media, the military complex, and activists and hackers is one of the most fascinating stories of the twentieth century. The future uses of the radio-electric spectrum in the twenty-first century and its new potential are being decided now, with the end of analogue TV broadcasting worldwide marking the most important transformation of uses in the radio-electric space in decades. This catalog sets out to examine these issues and shed a little light on intriguing stories about radio-electric spectrum.

This book provides a thorough description of just how varied and complex, how stressful and yet inspiring the cooperation between architect and engineer can be. It offers an insight into the complex relationship between the two professions: from the historical analysis and theoretical examination via an exploration of partial aspects such as the relationship between support structure and space or the graphic reflections by individual actors on the process of designing and building.
