Résumé:
Authored by the interdisciplinary Brooklyn-based design studio MODU, this reader explores the space between the interior and the exterior in architecture. How does the design of interior spaces align with the world ''outside,'' and vice versa? Where can the boundaries between the interior and the urban be drawn? What role does the environment play in this? Led by Phu Hoang and Rachely Rotem, MODU focuses on the marriage of urbanism and nature in its architectural and interior design projects, leaving behind the binary of inside and outside, and instead understanding architecture as an extension of the environment, imagining a hybrid of urban space, architecture and interior space. For this volume, Hoang and Rotem look to three major cities on different continents—New York, Rome and Tokyo—and consider examples from each of indoor urbanism and architectural climate adaptation.

Résumé:
Should architectural criticism be enlightening? What should be the ethical basis of it, and can it still be objective in the context of paid content? Should it outline ideal practices and help in the creation of a better built environment? Architectural criticism is at a crucial juncture today. Incisive architectural criticism is rare, while the definition of criticism itself has become more and more opaque in the digital world. The 2021 International Conference on Architecture Criticism has gathered exceptional papers that define the purposes and methods of architectural criticism of today. The resulting book is a collection of essays that offer essential independent voices on architecture criticism in a highly challenging media environment. Incisive and thought-provoking, ‘On duty and power on architectural criticism’ provides concrete case studies for future generations of architectural critics.

Résumé:
Our buildings are making us sick. Our homes, offices, factories, and dormitories are, in some sense, fresh parasites on the sacred Earth, "Nahasdzáán". In search of a better way, author Jim Kristofic journeys across the Southwest to apprentice with architects and builders who know how to make buildings that will take care of us. This is where he meets the House Gods who are building to the sun so that we can live on Earth. Forever. In this publication, Kristofic pursues the techniques of sustainable building and the philosophies of its practitioners. What emerges is a strange and haunting quest through adobe mud and mayhem, encounters with shamans and stray dogs, solar panels, tragedy, and true believers. It is a story about doing something meaningful, and about the kinds of things that grow out of deep pain. One of these things is compassion--from which may come solace.

Résumé:
Ville portuaire, centre industriel et métropole de services, Montréal est un carrefour où circulent non seulement des personnes et des marchandises mais aussi des idées, des cultures et des influences multiples. La poignée de Français qui l’ont fondée lui ont légué la fibre francophone qui fait sa spécificité. Ils y ont très tôt forgé une identité propre, celle de Montréalistes, qui encore aujourd’hui les distingue de leurs compatriotes du Québec. Montréal a aussi été profondément marquée par l’apport des peuples de souche britannique, les Montrealers, qui ont laissé des traces durables dans tous les aspects de la vie. Enfin, depuis un peu plus d’un siècle, le coeur de la métropole bat au rythme de l’arrivée continuelle de vagues de nouveaux Montréalais, qui en font un creuset interculturel et renforcent son rôle de ville d’accueil. Cette synthèse, mise à jour pour tenir compte des dernières avancées de la recherche, embrasse les dimensions démographiques, économiques, spatiales, sociales, culturelles et politiques de l’histoire de Montréal pour en dresser le portrait le plus complet possible.

Pierre Perrault consigne les impressions fugaces qui l’envahissent à mesure que le brise-glace où il navigue, le Pierre-Radisson, remonte les eaux glacées jusqu’au Grand Nord. Dans sa volonté de comprendre le « mal du Nord », il tire ce livre qui, dans son œuvre immense, a valeur de testament. Le lecteur y trouve en effet les principaux thèmes qui jalonnent le travail de Perrault : le fleuve, les explorateurs, la poésie, l’odyssée de la parole, la capacité à nommer un territoire afin d’orienter sa mémoire, de s’y identifier.

Résumé:
À la tombée de la nuit, Montréal scintille de mille feux. Le pont Jacques-Cartier, le Quartier des spectacles, la Biosphère et bien d’autres repères urbains bénéficient d’une mise en lumière qui magnifie leur présence dans l’obscurité. La constellation que forment ces illuminations confère à la ville une apparence «magique et féérique». Or, serait-il possible que cet éclat camoufle, voire alimente, une réalité moins séduisante? Dans cet ouvrage, Josianne Poirier considère le côté sombre des animations lumineuses urbaines, les visées de rayonnement international qui les légitiment et les récits collectifs pasteurisés qu’elles véhiculent. Entre illumination et aveuglement, visibilité et effacement, promesse et leurre, les scénarisations nocturnes étudiées ici constituent le point de départ d’une réflexion critique sur la marchandisation de la ville et ses effets délétères sur le vivre-ensemble.
