Résumé:
La fabrique et la gestion des villes sont aujourd’hui confrontées, comme de nombreuses autres activités, au remplacement de décisions humaines par des décisions algorithmiques. La substitution n’est pas seulement technique et professionnelle : elle est aussi politique. Elle ne touche pas que les métiers et les emplois : elle affecte la capacité des responsables locaux et des citoyens à penser et à porter des projets de société. Une lutte est donc engagée entre la cité politique, matrice historique des démocraties occidentales, et la ville-service numérisée proposée par les géants de l’économie numérique. Si notre société a pris conscience de l’influence croissante de ces acteurs, elle hésite entre la fascination devant les promesses d’un « salut par la technologie » et la peur d’un monde placé sous surveillance généralisée.

Résumé:
This historical survey focuses on female artists who were either working with computer technologies or taking up the subject of computing and cybernetics in their work in the early years of the computer revolution. It documents a lesser-known history of the inception of digital art, countering conventional narratives by focusing entirely on female figures. Comprising more than 100 works by 50 artists from 14 countries, it spans a period from the first years of integrated circuit computing in the 1960s to the "microcomputer revolution," which led to the birth of home computing in the 1980s. This extensive publication includes three new essays by Tina Rivers Ryan, Margit Rosen and the exhibition's curator, Michelle Cotton. It also features a richly illustrated timeline covering the period between 1613 and 1991 and includes 27 new interviews with artists and over 200 illustrations.

Résumé:
"Architectures of ageing in place" provides curated critical perspectives, from a practice-based research point of view, of buildings that are purpose built and/or refurbished to accommodate housing and care needs of older people ageing in place in high rise/medium rise integrated communities. This book identifies design innovations, in line with policy innovations, that have been made across private and public sectors to accommodate wellbeing and quality of life of older people living in integrated communities, which continue to foster intergenerational dialogue and exchange, and advance social citizenship. Case studies from a diverse range of geographies are examined including Portugal, Singapore, India, New Zealand, UK, Sweden, Belgium and the US. Chapters are grounded in evidence-based research including substantial primary data and post-occupancy evaluation, specifically the evaluation of architecture’s ‘social performance’. Projects highlight high-rise / medium-rise as an emerging and successful typology in accommodating residential and care needs of older people.

Centered on the Al Ahsa region, one of the world's oldest and largest oases, "Maghras: A farm for experimentation" (accompanying the inaugural Saudi Pavilion at the 24th Triennale di Milano, marking Saudi Arabia's first participation in this global architecture and design platform) reimagines the farm as a site of collective inquiry, where environmental change, cultural memory, and community practices converge. The publication documents research, fieldwork, and newly commissioned projects by architects, artists, and practitioners who engaged with farmers, craftspeople, and residents of Al Ahsa. Through essays, images, oral histories, and archival material, it reflects on the shifting relationship between land, water, and community in a landscape transformed by modernization and urban expansion.

Résumé:
Over 60 years on from its inception, the celebrated Fun Palace civic project – developed in the 1960s by the radical theatre director Joan Littlewood and the architect Cedric Price – continues to capture the architectural imagination. Despite the building itself never being realized, much of the previous analysis of the Fun Palace has been devoted to Price and his drawings. The critical role that Littlewood played, however, remains largely unrecognized by architectural scholarship, and a whole area of the project's cultural agenda remains overlooked. ''Architecture, Media, Archives'' is the first serious study of the complex relations between Littlewood and Price, reframing the Fun Palace as an extended media project and positioning Littlewood more clearly as co-designer. Drawing on extensive archival material, the book considers how, due to a lack of institutional support, the aims of the Fun Palace – to transform the passive mass-audiences of post-war consumer society into active citizens, through forms of self-directed, pleasure-led and open exchange – were realized through different 'sites of information' throughout the 1960s. From broadsheets, pamphlets and journals to films and press news, the book addresses the conditions of production, circulation, storage and reception of these 'sites' and reveals how they not only recorded the transformation of the project, but also fundamentally enhanced and informed its meaning in specific ways.

Résumé:
"Up in the air" tells the story of Britain’s multi-storey council housing from its beginnings to the present day. Throughout its history, high rise has been a symbol of the welfare state for better or worse. Here, Holly Smith tells a new story from the perspective of those who lived there, exploring how residents grappled with this brave new world above the old skyline. Through a series of historical moments based upon prize-winning research, we confront the human story of high-rise Britain. Interrogating the complex inheritance of mid-century urban reconstruction, Smith shows how these buildings became a crucible for the welfare state’s reimagination over the decades.

Résumé:
Video is everywhere. Since its debut as a consumer medium in the 1960s, video has shaped our opinions, our politics and our societies. On our phones and computer screens, walls and streets, it defines new spaces and experiences—spreading memes, lies, fervor, fact and fiction. In other words, video has transformed the world. Featuring works from the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, this illuminating exhibition catalog—MoMA’s first major publication on video art in nearly 30 years—explores the ways in which artists have both championed and questioned video’s promise, some hoping to create new networks of communication, democratic engagement and public participation, others protesting commercial and state control over information, vision and truth itself.
