Résumé:
Fruit d'un colloque qui s'est déroulé dans trois villes du patrimoine mondial (Luxembourg, Trèves et Völklingen en Allemagne) et à Metz (France), cet ouvrage aborde de façon originale le patrimoine sous un angle interdisciplinaire : histoire, littérature, linguistique, éthique, sociologie, urbanisme, science politique, économie et droit. On a rarement vu une telle diversité autour du patrimoine : universitaires, experts, gestionnaires, autorités et journalistes y croisent leurs vues. C'est un ouvrage vivant et riche qui se lit sinon comme un roman, du moins comme un recueil de nouvelles avec un fil conducteur. Chacun y trouvera sûrement quelque chose qui le touche de plus près.

Résumé:
New ideas and concepts for urban architecture and landscape architecture from the Netherlands: this survey takes stock of the current situation. In any discussion on contemporary landscape architecture, visionary urban development or revolutionary building, it is impossible to overlook the Netherlands. The experts look to this small, flat country which constantly seeks to exceed its narrow boundaries by creating new space. The Netherlands is crowded and so it is hardly surprising that architects endeavour to "stack" landscapes and functions as the Dutch pavilion in the Expo 2000, designed by MVRDV demonstrated. Here, new ideas and concepts in architecture and landscape design fall on the fertile ground. Rem Koolhaas had prepared the way: nothing must stay as it is, even the open countryside and the towns can be changed, moulded, shaped. The Dutch are experts at building in the sea, on polders, on man-made islands, and on former harbour areas as in Rotterdam Kop van Zuid. Architecture and landscape architecture are not only a matter of public interest but they are ongoing processes in the Netherlands, and this is reflected in many of the projects in this book which include the gardens and squares of West 8, the Museumsplein in Amsterdam, the town planning in Zutphen or Apeldoorn. The examples have all been published in different contexts in Topos, but this is the first time that they have been collated to provide an illuminating overview of contemporary Dutch landscape architecture.

Résumé:
What started as an easy solution – trawling through the magazine’s archives in search of interviews and conversations to bundle and reprint – turned into a complex analysis of “datedness”. Blind spots were revealed, old trends came to light, instances of amnesia emerged, and sometimes it seemed like nothing had changed. The editors decided to give the original interviewees and writers a chance to reflect, perhaps redeem themselves, even decades later. Some were unable and others were no longer reachable. So they asked respected colleagues and experts to comment or give their own context instead. The result is illuminating, a truly layered celebration of the space in between.

Résumé:
"Material gesture" presents a comprehensive reflection on six years of student work produced at Studio Anne Holtrop at the ETH Zurich. The Studio’s approach is rooted in site explorations, material testing, dialogues with experts, gestures of making, climatic and geological studies, and cultural practices. These elements inform the process of shaping matter and space through architecture, creating a unique methodology of engagement and creation. The book delves further into the Studio's methodology, featuring conversations with Bijoy Jain, Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine, Mario Monotti, Petra Blaisse, and Smiljan Radic. It also includes visual contributions by Aglaia Konrad and Armin Linke, alongside essays by Carlos Irijalba, Flavio Anselmetti, and Philip Ursprung.

Résumé:
Over 20 years ago, architect Renzo Piano established his firm and dubbed it the Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW)--a name that recalls the art studios of the Renaissance, where the master artist worked closely and actively with his apprentices. Students have always been an active component of the Building Workshop, functioning in a team with experienced architects and other experts, contributing to an international array of projects from two studio bases: one in Paris and one in Genoa, Italy. This small, intimate publication presents essays on both the Building Workshop and Piano himself, together with photographs of the two studios and of completed RPBW structures.

Résumé:
The first issue of the interdisciplinary periodical "forA on the urban" explores the open, multilayered, interconnected, complex, and unbridled nature of urban design. Through eleven contributions from eighteen international experts on architecture, art, social criticism, and activism, this issue illuminates specific realities of fraught spaces – urban frictions – in different parts of the world. Everyday frustrations, manifest inequalities, and social and political conflicts are examined throughout this issue in a process of description, discussion, and designation. The relationships between urban objects reflect the emergence of plurality and coexistence within and beyond what can be seen and understood as urban within an expanded concept of architecture.

In "Space is politics", architect and urban planner Hans Teerds shows that space is not merely a prerequisite for political activity – it is political in itself. The design of public spaces such as streets, squares, and parks influences who meets, who participates, and who is excluded. These spaces are not mere backdrops, but central places of democratic practice.(...)

Résumé:
In "Space is politics", architect and urban planner Hans Teerds shows that space is not merely a prerequisite for political activity – it is political in itself. The design of public spaces such as streets, squares, and parks influences who meets, who participates, and who is excluded. These spaces are not mere backdrops, but central places of democratic practice. Architecture is never neutral. It marks access, defines boundaries, and shapes the conditions of public life. Teerds calls for such spaces to be reclaimed from investors and experts in social dialogues, returning them to the political public sphere. A manifesto for those who understand architecture as a political task.
