Objet premier de l’activité humaine mais aussi symbole cosmologique, elle demeure pourtant un sujet marginal de l’anthropologie sociale. Pour les historiens et les architectes, la maison rurale n’est encore le plus souvent que l’ombre des palais et des temples. Les voyageurs en revanche(...)

Pour les historiens et les architectes, la maison rurale n’est encore le plus souvent que l’ombre des palais et des temples. Les voyageurs en revanche nous ont laissé des observations et des croquis précieux sur cet habitat. En quoi la maison paysanne consiste-t-elle vraiment? Est-elle un objet à classer en fonction de typologies forgées par les architectes et les ethnographes, ou un produit de l’imaginaire et d’une certaine idée de la vie rurale, née au 19e siècle?

Résumé:
This collection of a number of key essays by the New York-based architect and writer Mark Rakatansky proposes an innovative framework for architecture to enact the complex tectonic dramas of social and culture space. Following its title, the book is arrayed in three sections: Tectonic, Acts of, Desire and Doubt. In each, Rakatansky covers a series of subjects in a writerly voice that varies from the third-person narrative of the scholarly essays to the transcript of an email exchange with fellow academic Sarah Whiting discussing recent books by architect Greg Lynn. Transformational performances of architectural identity are explored in discussions of fabrication, social parametrics, building envelopes, spatial narratives, animation, migrancy, and in illuminating readings into the works of Louis Kahn, Robin Evans, John Coltrane, Giulio Romano and Andrea Palladio.

Studio Mumbai is composed of a few architects and nearly a hundred craftsmen– carpenters, masons, plumbers, electricians, and stonecutters– all working full time. Their work is based on a constant dialogue: “In India, a country with a population of 1,2 billion, the majority of construction is carried out without architects, which does not prevent them from being human in the largest sense. This reflection also forms part of one of our work’s most critical aspect…” reveals Bijoy Jain, the founder of Studio Mumbai. The Studio is a human infrastructure of skilled craftsmen and architects who design and build the work directly.

And it tinkers with the weather and spices the air we breathe. Billions of tons of it rise annually into the air--the dust of deserts and forgotten kings mixing with volcanic ash, sea salt, leaf fragments, scales from butterfly wings, shreds of T-shirts, and fireplace soot. Eventually, though, all this dust must settle.

The book documents all of the 68 subway stations across the city of Montréal, part of Dominion Modern’s mandate of recording 20th Century design across Canada. This was an exciting time in Quebec when visionary politicians like Jean Drapeau and Lucien Saulnier led the province in large scale public works projects that captured the imagination. As urbanist Jane Jacobs said at the opening, it was “a subway for human beings.”
