Résumé:
What are the central global issues humanity is facing today? How dire is the future really going to be? And what are possible ways to turn this world into a better one? These are the questions that the book "Our world to change!" adresses. This publication does not only explain figures related to economics, finance, ecology, nutrition and immigration, but also presents suggestions and alternatives from specialists in these fields – a book that every informed citizen should keep under their pillow. The overall goal of "Our world to change!" ! is to visualize the state of our world and possible ways to change it. For this mission the Intégral Ruedi Baur graphic design studio teamed up with the globalization-critical organization Attac, which provided the necessary data. By visualizing facts that concern each and everyone of us, "Our world to change!" ! makes pressing topics visible. This is necessary since issues like inequality and climate change are often viewed as complex, abstract topics.Our World to Change! is a formal homage to the sociologist Otto Neurath and the graphic designer Gerd Arntz, who created the Isotype – an international education system by typographical images – in the 1920s. Graphic designer Ruedi Baur, who also co-founded the institute for critical design research Civic city together with Vera Baur, revived Otto Neuraths iconic Isotype figures to visualize the state of the world today. While these figurines were already part of last years' art biennial Manifesta 11, controversially themed "What people do for money", in "Our world to change!" they take a more radical stance in critizising global inequality.

Résumé:
As an elevated rail line, designed to lift freight trains serving the Hudson River docks above street level circulation, The High Line was originally constructed as material infrastructure for an industrial city. It was closed in 1960s and stood abandoned for the next forty years. In this time organic debris accumulated and decayed, and seeds landed on the newly forming soil creating a meadow on the derelict railbed. This microcosmic biome then also became a heterotopic, other space, in the social ecology of the city as an efflorescence of new art forms and underground subcultures flourished in the evacuated post-industrial spaces of Chelsea. These processes would unfold as New York City was being transformed into a global center in an emerging political-economy defined by the integration of finance capital with media and information industries. In this, marginal spaces of the kind that developed in Chelsea, and the cultures that create them, became important sources of new aesthetic and cultural innovation, that offer an exploitable social ground from which to extract semiotic value. As the Bloomberg administration gave shape to this new regime, a project was initiated to convert the High Line into a publicly accessible, linear park. This would be realized through a convoluted process in which the manifold tensions and contradictions of the postmodern city would be dramatically played out and the disjunctions between ideal image regimes and the reality of the material substrates that support them would be brought to light, if only to be newly obscured. The High Line urban park has been both heralded as a definitive model for new urban development, and denounced as a driver, or at least a morbid symptom, of devastating gentrification, and the destructive financialization of urban space. This text, originally published in 2015 as part of the Deconstructing the High Line anthology, edited by Mark Linder and Brian Rosa, tracks a collection of interconnected historical treads that converge in the reconstruction of the High Line, and situates the project within architectural discourse and practice, and social and material conditions with which it struggles to engage.

Résumé:
Ce livre est issu d’un programme de recherche de 2 ans, financé par la British Academy et le CNRS (Centre national de la Recherche Scientifique). Dirigé par Mark Dorrian et Frédéric Pousin, il a rassemblé d’éminents chercheurs français et britanniques. L’idée de cette recherche part du constat que notre culture visuelle contemporaine est envahie par les images aériennes. De même, nos relations interpersonnelles, ainsi que notre relation à l’environnement, sont de plus en plus médiatisées par des dispositifs de capture d’image à distance et des technologies de localisation, induisant des transformations complexes dans notre façon de comprendre le monde et d’agir en son sein.

Résumé:
Du Québec à la Colombie-Britannique, cet ouvrage compare les tendances et les perspectives de la dernière décennie en études urbaines à travers et au-delà des disciplines. Les enjeux principaux auxquels font face Montréal et Vancouver, notamment ceux du logement et de la mobilité, sont présentés selon des perspectives nouvelles et novatrices. Les enjeux émergents — la place des peuples autochtones en milieu urbain, les systèmes alimentaires, l'action climatique — sont abordés de manière stimulante. Les travaux des vingt auteurs présentés dans cet ouvrage démontrent ainsi la portée d'une conversation continue, critique et comparative au-delà des divisions francophones et anglophones. Cet ouvrage constitue donc une ressource importante pour comprendre le champ et la pratique des études urbaines au Québec et en Colombie-Britannique ainsi que pour stimuler son évolution.. Une version anglaise de cet ouvrage est également disponible.. La réalisation et la publication de cet ouvrage ont été soutenues financièrement par le réseau Villes Régions Monde (financé par le Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture), le Programme d'appui aux relations canadiennes du Secrétariat du Québec aux relations canadiennes, le SFU Publications Fund et le SFU Urban Studies Initiative in Urban Sustainable Development.
