Résumé:
Comme toutes les espèces vivantes, toutes les cultures humaines ont eu leur propre monde. La modernité occidentale, à partir du XVIIe siècle, est le seul paradigme qui ait privé le sujet humain de cosmicité, en reléguant « le monde » à l’état d’objet. Au siècle dernier, cela aboutit à ce que l’architecte Rem Koolhaas a nommé junkspace, l'« espace foutoir ». Par-delà la(...)

Résumé:
Comme toutes les espèces vivantes, toutes les cultures humaines ont eu leur propre monde. La modernité occidentale, à partir du XVIIe siècle, est le seul paradigme qui ait privé le sujet humain de cosmicité, en reléguant « le monde » à l’état d’objet. Au siècle dernier, cela aboutit à ce que l’architecte Rem Koolhaas a nommé junkspace, l'« espace foutoir ». Par-delà la détérioration de l'environnement, cette acosmie globalisée atteint aujourd'hui au cosmocide. Au Pérou, comme dans tous les pays colonisés ou en développement, ne faut-il pas alors s’inspirer de la cosmicité des communautés autochtones ? Mais peut-on faire face aux réalités contemporaines et à venir ? Et créativement « recosmiser » l'existence humaine sur la Terre ?

In 1929, the great Swiss historian and architecture critic Sigfried Giedion (1888–1968)—later the author of the classics "Space, Time and Architecture" (1941) and "Mechanization Takes Command" (1948)—issued Befreites Wohnen (Liberated Dwelling), a small but vocal architecture manifesto and an early expression of modernist housing ideology. From the vision of an international architectural modernism (a mission with which Giedion was involved as the first secretary-general of the International Congresses of Modern Architecture, between 1928 and 1959) to debates on the industrialization of construction processes and their impact on public housing, Liberated Dwelling expresses the dreams and anxieties of early 20th-century modernist architecture.

Résumé:
Álvaro’s Siza’s public housing projects, designed at great scale and complexity against the backdrop of the Portuguese Revolution, obliged him to articulate a position that was nuanced and ideologically forceful. Such projects developed over long periods, in response to shifts in policy, funding and political climate. For an architect whose work develops always through the iterative sketch, this challenging process, combined with the scale and cultural ambition of the projects themselves, produced the densest imaginable mass of drawings.

Résumé:
"The Continuous Monument", developed by the Italian collective Superstudio during summer 1969, is one of the most known visionary projects within the history of architecture. In sketchbooks Number 11 and 12, dated over a few months between May and November 1969, much of the story of the Continuous Monument emerges – as it were, fully-fledged – from its first conception as a belt around Florence, and its later ambitious circumnavigation of the globe, to its diffident public manifestation – at the scale of a gallery – for the first of the two exhibitions in Graz in 1969. The drawings became the basis of the now better-known Superstudio collages.
