Résumé:
To what extent did the circulation of people, commodities and knowledge affect architecture and urban design between World War II and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989? Swiss urban studies professor Tom Avermaete teams up with Chicago-based architect Michelangelo Sabatino to interrogate the influence of globalization on postwar architecture. Globalization is a complex phenomenon that has profoundly affected the practice of designers and engineers in the postwar era as it simultaneously expands and shrinks the world in which we live. Avermaete and Sabatino arrive at several conclusions through a diligent analysis of spatial, political and social geographies, from airports and hotels to construction materials and labor. ''The Global Turn'' presents their findings in a series of six short essays, providing a fresh viewpoint on a new worldwide environment that gives as much as it takes.

The ultimate quality of architecture would reside, therefore, in the resistance to its description.

Résumé:
"When a work reaches its maximum intensity," wrote Le Corbusier, "a phenomenon of ineffable space occurs." The ultimate quality of architecture would reside, therefore, in the resistance to its description. However, to tell us this, and much more, the Swiss master has published more than seventy books and his so compelling formula in supporting the ineffable also shows how words are able to grasp it. This brief essay investigates the multiple intersections between discourse and design: the way buildings try to ‘talk’ with their own specific means; how architects are trying to remain relevant without building; the paradoxes of architecture description after its completion; the modes of communication during the project processes; the capacity of narrative to act before the project operations start and infiltrate the collective perception, making possible innovative approaches...

Résumé:
What is the actual difference between architectural and interior design? To answer the question, this book looks into the actions of interior disciplines, to understand what they do, not only what they are. In doing so, it studies them through intersection, to identify the essential principles that characterise this kind of design. From typology to topology, from context to palimpsest, from space to place, the result is a story – particularly focused on the Italian tradition – of the ideas and projects that defined a particular design sensibility that knows no limits of context or scale.

Themes range from historicism, realism, urbanism, and user-oriented approaches, to interest in informal and spontaneous building. Arranged in five chapters, the articles illustrate an examination of the evolving postmodernism and, due to their multifaceted nature, point far beyond a pure concept of style. The contributors include Irina Davidovici, Samia Henni, Torsten Lange, and others, representing positions that are exemplary of the pluralist approach and thematic openness characteristic of the journal in its founding phase.

Résumé:
Comment, dans un paysage politique en ruines, reconstituer la vérité des faits ? La réponse d'Eyal Weizman tient en une formule-programme: "l'architecture forensique". Approche novatrice au carrefour de plusieurs disciplines, cette sorte d'architecture se soucie moins de construire des bâtiments que d'analyser des traces que porte le bâti afin de rétablir des vérités menacées. Impacts de balles, trous de missiles, ombres projetées sur les murs de corps annihilés par le souffle d'une explosion : l'architecture forensique consiste à faire parler ces indices. Si elle mobilise à cette fin des techniques en partie héritées de la médecine légale et de la police scientifique, c'est en les retournant contre la violence d'État, ses dénis et ses "fake news". Il s'agit donc d'une "contre-forensique" qui tente de se réapproprier les moyens de la preuve dans un contexte d'inégalité structurelle d'accès aux moyens de la manifestation de la vérité. Au fil des pages, cet ouvrage illustré offre un panorama saisissant des champs d'application de cette démarche, depuis le cas des frappes de drone au Pakistan, en Afghanistan et à Gaza, jusqu'à celui de la prison secrète de Saidnaya en Syrie, en passant par le camp de Staro Sajmiste, dans la région de Belgrade.

Résumé:
Throughout the early twentieth century, waves of migration brought working-class people to the outskirts of Buenos Aires. This prompted a dilemma: Where should these restive populations be situated relative to the city’s spatial politics? Enter Antonio Bonet, a Catalan architect inspired by the transatlantic modernist and surrealist movements. Ana María León follows Bonet's decades-long, state-backed quest to house Buenos Aires's diverse and fractious population. Working with totalitarian and populist regimes, Bonet developed three large-scale housing plans, each scuttled as a new government took over. Yet these incomplete plans—Bonet's dreams—teach us much about the relationship between modernism and state power. This volume finds in Bonet's projects the disconnect between modern architecture’s discourse of emancipation and the reality of its rationalizing control. Although he and his patrons constantly glorified the people and depicted them in housing plans, Bonet never consulted them. Instead he succumbed to official and elite fears of the people's latent political power. In careful readings of Bonet's work, León discovers the progressive erasure of surrealism's psychological sensitivity, replaced with an impulse, realized in modernist design, to contain the increasingly empowered population.
