Résumé:
Our time is an urban age. More people live in cities than ever before, cities are growing larger and denser than ever, and urbanity has reached unprecedented levels of complexity. This boom in urbanization began in earnest around the turn of the twentieth century when technological advancement and the extraction of seemingly endless supplies of natural resources propelled urban development. As urban populations steadily increased, architects and planners were not only faced with designing housing and public space but also with responding to emerging societal challenges such as political tensions, reconstruction, decolonization, economic crises, growing climatic concerns, and cultural shifts. Through the analysis of more than one hundred richly illustrated urban design projects and initiatives, this book provides a comprehensive history of how these challenges have fomented new attitudes and approaches in the discipline of urban design.

Résumé:
A revival of the Renaissance genre of the same name, isolarii (meaning 'island texts') is a very small publication; each issue of which focuses on a different, stand-alone theme or idea. The sixth edition is titled ‘The Archipelago Conversations’ and is based on 15 years of conversations between Caribbean philosopher Édouard Glissant and his friend Hans Ulrich Obrist. It marks the tenth anniversary of Glissant's passing. Translation by Emma Ramadan. Hans Ulrich Obrist met the Martinique-born philosopher, poet, and revolutionary Édouard Glissant in the mid-nineties; the encounter influenced the direction of Obrist's work for years to come. As one of today's most prolific producers of culture, Obrist has left an indelible mark and Glissant, in part, through him. Throughout 2021, during the pandemic and ten years after Glissant's death, Obrist has edited, reworked, and arranged their conversations in their entirety for the first time. THE ARCHIPELAGO CONVERSATIONS is the result: a book designed to introduce the most important philosopher of the 21st Century to a broad, public audience - a ready-to-hand tool for building an interdependent Earth.

Si l'œuvre de Marcel Lods est, pour une assez large part, connue de tous en France comme à l'étranger, force est de constater qu'une part substantielle de sa réflexion sur l'architecture et planification territoriale demeure à ce jour sinon ignorée, à tout le moins confidentielle.

Résumé:
Si l'œuvre de Marcel Lods est, pour une assez large part, connue de tous en France comme à l'étranger, force est de constater qu'une part substantielle de sa réflexion sur l'architecture et planification territoriale demeure à ce jour sinon ignorée, à tout le moins confidentielle. Pourtant, Marcel Lods aura eu à cœur, tout au long de sa carrière, d'en énoncer publiquement les termes, notions, concepts et idées-clés au sein de différentes publications, d'exprimer et de partager ses vues, ses conceptions et positions souvent radicales à l'occasion de conférences, également d'entretiens avec la presse et les médias. Au sein de ce volume, ont été retenus sept textes produits par Marcel Lods entre 1947 et 1967 : des notes de lecture et d'écriture en préparation d'articles, un rapport d'étude/d'expertise, des essais dans leur version de travail ainsi que des retranscriptions écrites de conférences. Sept textes pour lesquels le propos aura été évidemment adapté à la cible (lectorat ou audience) mais dont la réunion, au sein de ce livre, fait très clairement apparaître les nombreux « échos », les relations de sens et complémentarités.

Résumé:
The difficulty of reconciling our basic needs with the long history of cultural landscapes, in all their inherent beauty and sufficiency, has become clear. With our deep trust in modern technology, in progress and in a demanding global lifestyle we have become a real threat to our world. Yet, today the existential and elementary nature of landscapes remains the bearer of a successful metaphor for “balance”. Why not draw—amidst a truly global crisis—conclusions out of our long history of designed nature, of places shaped by skilled labor and a quest for pleasure? This publication seeks to stimulate the “Analogue” dimension as a substantial concept for everyday landscape thinking. In an anthology of interdisciplinary essays, this volume stresses the necessity for a fundamental shift, within the likely framework of a future of restricted resources, a radically different mobility or “hot” cities.

Résumé:
À partir du milieu du xixe siècle, l’Amérique du Nord est le théâtre d’une révolution industrielle qui transforme radicalement le visage de ses villes. En quelques décennies, les métropoles du continent s’imposent comme incarnations d’une modernité urbaine triomphante. De Montréal à La Nouvelle-Orléans, le développement des transports en commun ouvre la porte à un étalement urbain qui donne naissance à des quartiers bourgeois prestigieux, mais aussi à des quartiers chauds associés au jeu et à la prostitution. De Toronto à New York, experts, architectes et politiciens tentent de faire sens du chaos urbain pour s’enrichir ou sauver la ville d’elle-même. De Vancouver à Chicago, parcs et boulevards, gratte-ciels et espaces publics sont construits et aménagés pour célébrer la grandeur des cités du Nouveau Monde. Et dans l’ombre de chacune d’entre elles, il y a ceux et celles qui luttent contre les inégalités qui s’y accentuent et y persistent.
