This book shows how he has taken up the challenge posed by the question of how man and the city relate and how he has raised the ethical legacy of modern architecture by envisioning a future that can oppose the wave of consumerism and social competition. Portoghesi firmly believes in the new wave of Geo-architecture: an architecture that takes on the responsibility to help human society to forge a new alliance with nature.

Avec ce projet, Le Corbusier met au point bien plus qu'un nouveau style de vie ou une technique de construction : il invente un mode de communication qui lui permet d'inscrire l'ensemble de ses projets dans le récit qui en organise la cohérence. Ce qu'il tait dans ses publications de ses difficultés pour concrétiser son projet avec des industriels montre à quel point son positionnement public - celui d'un architecte conscient des bouleversements techniques et économiques de son temps, qui entend entretenir avec l'industrie une collaboration étroite mais maîtrisée dans laquelle il reste maître du jeu et exerce en toute autonomie - est construit sur une aporie, non résolue, entre l'architecture comme oeuvre et la maison comme produit.

Résumé:
Jasper National Park is an international travel destination, world heritage site, and icon of Canadian identity. Although national parks occupy a prominent place in the Canadian imagination, we are only beginning to understand how their visual imagery has shaped and continues to inform our perception of the natural world, ecological issues, and ourselves. In this publication, J. Keri Cronin draws on postcards, illustrated brochures, tourist snapshots, and other forms of visual culture to show how popular forms of picturing nature can have ecological implications that extend far beyond the frame of the image. Adopting an ecocritical approach to visual culture, Cronin focusses on four themes - wilderness, recreation, wildlife, and fake nature - to trace how park and government officials, railway companies, journalists, and environmentalists package Jasper as a series of breathtaking vistas where adorable-looking animals live. In the process, they sever the scenes from their larger contexts and mask the real threats to the park’s ecosystems. In telling the story of how various groups and the tourism industry have used photographic representations of national parks to shape our ideas about nature, this book sets the stage for a re-examination of protection policies and acknowledgment of environmental damage in national parks.

But the guerrilla architectartist-urbanists at Hong Kong-based MAP Office (Gutierrez + Portefaix) insist that the map (or the MAP)most definitely is the territory, and this exuberant book proves it. An incredibly complex, 360-page book, jam-packed with essays, interviews and over 500color illustrations, photos, drawings, collages and more, summarizes two decades in MAP Office’s evolution from architectural research to artistic intervention and cinematic theorization. It’s a work of genius from working geniuses, mixing politics, installation art, humor, science fiction, multi-cultural initiatives and just plain visionary thinking. The group has rejected everything about Modernist ideology, from the idea of the pristine space or the iconic shape to the quaint thought that form might follow function. Architecture has been let out of the bag, and it’s running wild.

Sordo Madaleno's father, the mid-20th-century architect Juan Sordo Madaleno, collaborated with Barragan, Serrano and Legorreta, among others; the son's work pays homage to his father's legacy yet takes it into the new generation, as this finely designed and comprehensively illustrated book shows. Just a look at the church of San Josemaria Escriva in Mexico City, totally original yet echoing both Ronchamps and Teotihuacan, shows the creativity of Sordo Madeleno's work.
