Résumé:
Rotterdams West 8 is not only one of the largest, but also one of the best-known and most active design firms working in Europe today in the field of "urban design and landscape architecture." The phrase suggests the firms strongly interdisciplinary orientation between landscape architecture and town planning. Its projects are provocative, avant-garde in the typically Dutch manner, and not afraid of contact with popular culture. They were created in close collaboration with such architects as Richard Rogers, Steven Holl, Dominique Perrault, Rem Koolhaas, Renzo Piano, and many others. The founder and director of the firm and its most highly visible figure is Adriaan Geuze, who is the author of this book.

Résumé:
Au sein des quartiers et dans les projets de rénovation urbaine, tout comme autour de l’habitat et des immeubles de bureaux, le végétal apporte aux citoyens de nombreux bienfaits : il incite à une activité physique, favorise les rencontres, purifie l’air et préserve la biodiversité. De l’intimité d’un petit jardin breton à la métamorphose des berges du Rhône à Lyon, les quarante aménagements paysagers présentés dans ce livre contribuent à l’embellissement de notre quotidien. Outre leur fonctionnalité, l’harmonie de la composition et l’émotion du premier contact visuel, ils ont convaincu le jury des Victoires du Paysage par leur intégration au site, le choix d’essences adaptées au contexte, des solutions éco-responsables pour l’entretien et l’implication des usagers.

Résumé:
The shipping container is all around: whizzing by on the highway, trundling past on rails, unloading behind a big box store even as you shop there, clanking on the docks just out of sight…. 90% of the goods and materials that move around the globe do so in shipping containers. It is an absolutely ubiquitous object, even if most of us have no direct contact with it. But(...)

Résumé:
The shipping container is all around: whizzing by on the highway, trundling past on rails, unloading behind a big box store even as you shop there, clanking on the docks just out of sight…. 90% of the goods and materials that move around the globe do so in shipping containers. It is an absolutely ubiquitous object, even if most of us have no direct contact with it. But what is this thing? Where has it been, and where is it going? Craig Martin's book illuminates the “development of containerization”-including design history, standardization, aesthetics, and a surprising speculative discussion of the futurity of shipping containers. - See more at: http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/shipping-container-9781501303142/#sthash.2H0oxVN8.dpuf

Résumé:
Aglaia Konrad’s photographic work probes the social, cultural, economic, political, and historical parameters that inform architecture and urbanism. 'Japan Works' is the result of her journey through Japan in the autumn of 2019. Using a pre-compiled list of places with exceptional architecture, Konrad took thousands of photos in Tokyo, Itoigawa, Kyoto, Nagoya and Osaka. In addition to mostly iconic, post-war Metabolist architecture, Konrad also took a large number of photos of nonspecific architectural moments and infrastructure that, with the same intensity, give their own impression of the architectural landscape in Japan. Free associations of full-page photographs alternate with contact sheets documenting her itinerary. These are informed by postscript glosses written by architect and critic Julian Worrall.

Résumé:
« L’Empire de la nature » est une histoire des jardins botaniques établis dans les colonies européennes des Caraïbes, d’Asie et d’Afrique entre la fin du XVIIIe siècle. En tous lieux, ces jardins, enclaves de nature ordonnée, symboles d’une sauvagerie domptée, donnent à voir la maîtrise du monde naturel et sont institués comme des outils de la domination coloniale. Lieux de savoir botanique, pépinières de vente de plantes pour la colonie, espaces de contact pour les sociétés coloniales, les jardins botaniques sont envisagés dans leur dimension savante globale, leur fonction politique et leurs usages économiques. Aux mises en réseau entre les institutions métropolitaines et les jardins coloniaux répond une microhistoire de sites dont les destinées varient en fonction des empires et des territoires.

Résumé:
This volume offers a conversation between Indigenous Peoples of two regions in this time of political and environmental upheaval. Both regions are environmentally sensitive areas that have become hot spots in the debates circling around climate change and have long been contact zones between Indigenous Peoples and outsiders — zones of meeting and clashing, of contradictions and entanglement. Opening with an Epistolary Exchange between the editors,the book then widens to include essays by 12 Indigenous artists, curators, and knowledge-keepers about the integration of spirituality, ancestral respect, traditional knowledges, and political critique in artistic practice and more than 100 image reproductions and installation shots. The result is an extraordinary conversation about life, artistic practise, and geopolitical realities faced by Indigenous peoples in regions at risk.

Résumé:
In The Preparation of the Novel, a collection of lectures delivered at a defining moment in Roland Barthes’s career (and completed just weeks before his death), the critic spoke of his struggle to discover a different way of writing and a new approach to life. The Neutral preceded this work, containing Barthes’s challenge to the classic oppositions of Western thought and his effort to establish new pathways of meaning. How to Live Together predates both achievements, a series of lectures exploring solitude and the degree of contact necessary for individuals to exist and create at their own pace. A distinct project that sets the tone for his subsequent lectures, How to Live Together is a key introduction to Barthes’s pedagogical methods and critical worldview.

Résumé:
Changements climatiques, pollution, inégalités sociales et économiques ne sont que quelques-uns des symptômes qui affectent notre planète malade. Les causes de ceux-ci : les dysfonctions de l’économie, particulièrement celles qui permettent qu’une contribution négative à la société se traduise en profit pour une minorité. Comment changer la donne? Comment mettre l’économie au service de la société et faire en sorte qu’elle opère à l’intérieur des limites planétaires? Par où commencer pour déjouer le cynisme ambiant et se donner un élan d’espérance? Laure Waridel a cherché à tracer les contours, au contact de chercheur.e.s, d’artistes et de militant.e.s qui se dédient, chacun.e à leur échelle, à une grande diversité d’initiatives privées, publiques et collectives, d’une réelle transition vers une économie écologique et sociale.

The street is the workplace of the artist Paulien Oltheten (b. Nijmegen, 1982). Seemingly in passing, she seeks out precisely those moments when there is contact between people, things and the public space with her still and moving viewfinders.

Résumé:
The street is the workplace of the artist Paulien Oltheten (b. Nijmegen, 1982). Seemingly in passing, she seeks out precisely those moments when there is contact between people, things and the public space with her still and moving viewfinders. She also has a remarkable eye for the small and the subtle: her photos are often profoundly touching. Street Theory brings together about a hundred photos, video stills and drawings by Oltheten, each of which testifies to how we use, move through, sit, lounge and behave in the public domain, and above all how we relate to other people and objects. Oltheten often annotates these striking images and intriguing situations with handwritten notes that become an integral part of the whole, adding a new, narrative layer of meaning.

Résumé:
Our living requirements reflect the condition of our society. Currently, there is a very large range of perceptibly different living requirements. The shared apartment, originally a youthful living model, is becoming an increasingly important concept for the elderly. But the single-resident apartment trend continues unabated, although there is a conscious movement towards spatial organization that includes contact possibilities. Community facilities such as workshops, kitchens or guest apartments and informal meeting places such as saunas and gardens give a residential project great added value. This is precisely where access ways are of particular importance, especially in low-budget residential construction. This publication documents and analyzes type variants in recent international examples and puts them in context with historical buildings featuring sheltering walkways built from 1920 to 1970.
