Résumé:
Looking afresh at the implications of Jacques Derrida’s thinking for architecture, this book simplifies his ideas in a clear, concise way. Derrida‘s treatment of key philosophical texts has been labelled as "deconstruction," a term that resonates with architecture. Although his main focus is language, his thinking has been applied by architectural theorists widely. As well as a review of Derrida’s interaction with architecture, this book is also a careful consideration of the implications of his thinking, particularly on the way architecture is practiced.

Résumé:
A collective founded in 1997 and based in Brussels, LAb[au] is a dynamic interdisciplinary art studio for architecture and urbanism, creating interactive artworks, audiovisual performances and its own software and interfaces. The name LAb[au] is a pun inspired partly by the Bauhaus, whose methodological and experimental reflection on the industrialisation of art helped to inspire the group. Their first monograph presents an important selection of the group's artworks, which they term MetaDeSIGN; an approach characterised by the establishing of systems and processes, whose new rules and geometries become the principle artistic creation.

Résumé:
In Walled States, Waning Sovereignty, Wendy Brown considers the recent spate of wall building in contrast to the erosion of nation-state sovereignty. Drawing on classical and contemporary political theories of state sovereignty in order to understand how state power and national identity persist amid its decline, Brown considers both the need of the state for legitimacy and the popular desires that incite the contemporary building of walls. The new walls—dividing Texas from Mexico, Israel from Palestine, South Africa from Zimbabwe—consecrate the broken boundaries they would seem to contest and signify the ungovernability of a range of forces unleashed by globalization. Yet these same walls often amount to little more than theatrical props, frequently breached, and blur the distinction between law and lawlessness that they are intended to represent. But if today's walls fail to resolve the conflicts between globalization and national identity, they nonetheless project a stark image of sovereign power. Walls, Brown argues, address human desires for containment and protection in a world increasingly without these provisions. Walls respond to the wish for horizons even as horizons are vanquished.

Résumé:
Ce guide pratique parle de la ville. Durable forcément, car on ne bâtit pas du temporaire quand on construit une ville, mais durable au sens « qui tient compte des enjeux du développement durable », une ville du XXIe siècle, des quartiers innovants, des quartiers écologiques, des éco-quartiers. Il s’adresse aux personnes concernées par la conception des villes, les élus au premier plan. L’objectif de cet ouvrage est double : comprendre et agir. Comprendre autant les thématiques elles-mêmes que leurs interactions, s’approprier un vocabulaire, des notions pour agir, c'est-à-dire être capable d’impulser des projets… en connaissance de cause. Pour aborder la « ville durable », nous avons souhaité non pas rédiger un mode d’emploi de l’éco-quartier emblématique mais plutôt aborder l’ensemble des notions-clés de ce qui fait la ville, de ce qui peut la rendre « éco », les points de vigilance et les ressources disponibles. Ce guide constitue un travail collectif et fait appel à des spécialistes reconnus et à des élus impliqués. Il renvoie à des lectures plus approfondies sur plusieurs sujets et permet de comprendre le vocabulaire et dialoguer avec les experts.

Today Mangado advocates designing and building ethically, urging a move away from the display and spectacle that he helped to pioneer, and which he now feels has become insubstantial.

Résumé:
Un rêve partagé par beaucoup et néanmoins à portée de main. Cet ouvrage présente 120 projets réalisés depuis l'an 2000, en Europe, en Amérique du Nord comme du Sud, en Australie, mais aussi en Afrique du Sud. Les architectes les plus inventifs ont été sollicités. Volumes, styles, matériaux et techniques varient selon les latitudes et les exigences des futurs propriétaires, avec pour point commun l'accent mis sur l'esthétique, le confort et la luminosité. Prenant le parti de se fondre dans leur environnement ou, au contraire, de se démarquer franchement, chaque projet fait montre d'une personnalité bien affirmée. Les réalisations sont présentées selon leur localisation et leur nature: en ville, en périphérie urbaine, à la campagne, au bord de l'eau, demeures de rêve et futuristes. Un tour du monde de l'architecture contemporaine dédiée à la maison particulière.

Philosophy for Architects is an engaging and easy-to-grasp introduction to philosophical questions of interest to students of architectural theory. Topics include Aristotle's theories of "visual imagination" and their relevance to digital design, the problem of optical correction as explored by Plato, Hegel's theory of zeitgeist, and Kant's examinations of space and aesthetics, among others. Focusing primarily on nineteenth- and twentieth-century philosophy, it provides students with a wider perspective concerning philosophical problems that come up in contemporary architectural debates.
