Résumé:
Par leur diversité et leur dynamisme, les créateurs contribuent aussi au développement de villes qui prennent de plus en plus conscience de leur rôle économique. Les cas de Berlin, Birmingham, Lausanne, Lyon, Montréal, Nantes et Montpellier sont observés et analysés par différents experts internationaux spécialisés dans la culture et l'action culturelle. Les expériences menées permettent de comprendre les enjeux politiques, sociaux et économiques qui poussent ces villes à accorder une priorité grandissante aux activités créatives, aux productions et aux performances artistiques de tous ordres, qu'elles soient éphémères ou permanentes. Elles alimentent également le débat sur le renouvellement urbain, notamment autour du phénomène de gentrification.

Résumé:
This publication presents projects in recent years in Japan, which respond to the need for new forms of housing. The architects are developing solutions that allow residents to live together but still maintain enough distance and privacy. The presented apartment types and their layout allow for a variety of life models.

The publication portrays these new forms of building and living based on prominent Japanese examples that include Shigerun Ban, Sou Foujimoto, and SANAA.

Résumé:
The issue of gender inequality in architecture has been part of the profession’s discourse for many years, yet the continuing gender imbalance in architectural education and practice remains a difficult subject. This book seeks to change that. It provides the first ever attempt to move the debate about gender in architecture beyond the tradition of gender-segregated diagnostic or critical discourse on the debate towards something more propositional, actionable and transformative. To do this, A Gendered Profession brings together a comprehensive array of essays from a wide variety of experts in architectural education and practice, touching on issues such as LGBT, age, family status, and gender-biased awards.

Experts, hommes politiques et éditorialistes sont unanimes : la dette qui grève les finances publiques entrave la croissance, fait exploser le chômage. Les États doivent à tout prix se désendetter s’ils veulent rassurer les marchés et retrouver le chemin de la prospérité. Le diagnostic de Maurizio Lazzarato est tout autre : la dette, dans le système capitaliste, n’est pas d’abord une affaire comptable, une relation économique, mais un rapport politique d’assujettissement et d’asservissement. Elle devient infinie, inexpiable, impayable, et sert à discipliner les populations, à imposer des réformes structurelles, à justifier des tours de vis autoritaires, voire à suspendre la démocratie au profit de « gouvernements techniques » subordonnés aux intérêts du capital.

Résumé:
Infrastructural Monument presents the proceedings of the first of two conferences organized by MIT's new Center for Advanced Urbanism around the biennial theme of infrastructure. Held in the spring of 2013, the "Infrastructural Monument" conference gathered designers, developers, policy experts, and scholars to address the potential to leverage infrastructure design beyond the realm of transportation of goods and labor into the realm of culture, public space, architecture, and landscape form. In other words, can infrastructure transcend mere practicality and fulfill a role that is profoundly cultural? Can targeted infrastructure projects transform a city from a collection of fragments to one with a common and cohesive regional identity?
