Résumé:
Ce manuel, publié en anglais en 1909, a joué un rôle pionnier dans l'application de la méthode scientifique à l'aménagement urbain. Prenant appui sur la théorie et la pratique de l'urbanisme en Angleterre, France, Autriche et Allemagne, il propose une méthode opérationnelle aux aménageurs. Il a été traduit dans de nombreuses langues et régulièrement réédité pendant l'Entre-deux-guerres. A partir des années 1970, il devient la référence de ceux qui désirent se démarquer de la planification moderniste et renouer avec l'art urbain.

Résumé:
Consommatrice d'espace, énergivore par la multiplication des infrastructures et des trajets qu'elle engendre le plus souvent, la maison individuelle, modèle auquel aspirent les trois quarts des Français, apparaît à de nombreux égards comme le contre-exemple d'un développement soutenable. Ce recueil de textes écrits par des spécialistes de différents domaines (architecture, droit, économie, géographie, sociologie, urbanisme, paysage, bureaux d'études techniques) encourage par ses regards croisés une réflexion plurielle conjuguant différentes échelles : l'intérieur de la maison, son enveloppe, la parcelle sur laquelle elle se situe, le paysage dans lequel elle s'inscrit. Naissent alors plusieurs pistes de réflexion pour faire de ce type d'habitat une entité durable : la préservation des équilibres entre espaces naturels et espaces habités par l'adoption de politiques responsables, l'amélioration technique des enveloppes et des équipements, exigée par les réglementations thermiques successives, la meilleure formation des professionnels de la construction, la mutualisation de certaines installations, la mise en place de solutions de gouvernante novatrices, la préservation du paysage par la considération de la trame verte et bleue. Une mise en perspective internationale, par l'évocation des pratiques dans le Vorarlberg, en Suisse et au Japon, complète cette réflexion et ouvre vers de nouveaux possibles.

Understanding the historical meaning of the MP3 format entails rethinking the place of digital technologies in the larger universe of twentieth-century communication history, from hearing research conducted by the telephone industry in the 1910s, through the mid-century development of perceptual coding (the technology underlying the MP3), to the format's promiscuous social life since the mid 1990s.

Résumé:
In Architecture in Translation, Esra Akcan offers a way to understand the global circulation of culture that extends the notion of translation beyond language to visual fields. She shows how members of the ruling Kemalist elite in Turkey further aligned themselves with Europe by choosing German-speaking architects to oversee much of the design of modern cities. Focusing on the period from the 1920s through the 1950s, Akcan traces the geographical circulation of modern residential models, including the garden city—which emphasized green spaces separating low-density neighborhoods of houses surrounded by gardens—and mass housing built first for the working-class residents in industrial cities and, later, more broadly for mixed-income residents. She shows how the concept of translation—the process of change that occurs with transportation of people, ideas, technology, information, and images from one or more countries to another—allows for consideration of the sociopolitical context and agency of all parties in cultural exchanges. Moving beyond the indistinct concepts of hybrid and transculturation and avoiding passive metaphors such as import, influence, or transfer, translation offers a new approach relevant to many disciplines. Akcan advocates a commitment to a new culture of translatability from below for a truly cosmopolitan ethics in a globalizing world.

Résumé:
This special issue of Radical History Review historicizes and reconsiders the flaneur - the city stroller - as the iconic bystander to the spectacle of urban life and change, drawing perspectives from urban and public history, museum studies, geography, and sociology. One article analyzes Australian frontier towns, where notions of indigeneity are commodified for white consumers while Aborigines themselves are unwelcome. Another examines the funereal flanerie of protestors in Guatemala who stage scenes of public mourning to engage the radical power of dead bodies in public spaces. Flanerie and drifting are explored as pedagogical tools to draw students out of the controlled settings of college campuses. Contributors to this issue examine the physical experience of city walking - determined by architecture, street signs, traffic lights, and each walker's differently abled body - alongside the subtler class, racial, and historical markers that define who in city spaces is imagined to be respectable and who is dangerous.

Résumé:
Since the early eighties, many architects have used the term "narrative" to describe their work. To architects the enduring attraction of narrative is that it offers a way of engaging with the way a city feels and works. Rather than reducing architecture to mere style or an overt emphasis on technology, it foregrounds the experiential dimension of architecture. Narrative Architecture explores the potential for narrative as a way of interpreting buildings from ancient history through to the present, deals with architectural background, analysis and practice as well as its future development.

Résumé:
The landscape and people of the American Midwest have captivated photographer Terry Evans (b. 1944) throughout her forty-year photographic career. Evans has a deep connection to her native region, which she has explored from a variety of visual and thematic perspectives. Heartland traces the evolution of Evans’s vision, beginning in the early 1970s with her social documentary images of people in Kansas. She became a landscape photographer in 1978, focusing on the grasses, land, and skies of the prairie; this was followed by an aerial survey of the entire Great Plains, from Texas to Canada. She has also photographed Chicago from the air, an abandoned military site, small-town life in Kansas, and historical samples of prairie flora and fauna from Chicago’s Field Museum. More recently, she has documented the steel industry in the Midwest and oil and gas drilling in North Dakota. This illustrated book examines all of these works, which together reveal the enduring beauty of the prairie landscape.
