Summary:
Actions : comment s’approprier la ville présente la recherche et l’écriture originales qui interrogent les façons dont les actions humaines façonnent le design des villes contemporaines et l’expérience qu’on en fait. Publié à l’occasion de l’exposition tenue en 2008 au CCA, Actions : comment s’approprier la ville comprend trente essais originaux de portée internationale. Ces textes traitent tant des observations personnelles d’un éventail d’activistes que des réflexions de spécialistes qui analysent les répercussions positives de ces initiatives individuelles sur la ville ; 34 actions tirées de l’exposition s’imbriquent aux textes. Les actions sont représentées par des images couleur et de courtes descriptions, qui précisent le nom des acteurs, les outils et les lieux concernés. Mirko Zardini et Giovana Borasi, directeurs de la publication et commissaires de l’exposition, signent chacun une introduction offrant une perspective historique ; ils campent l’exposition et la publication dans le cadre de la conservation.

Summary:
Perspectives de vie à Londres et à Tokyo se consacre aux projets architecturaux récents de Stephen Taylor à Londres et de Ryue Nishizawa à Tokyo, qui suggèrent de nouvelles façons d’appréhender la vie en milieu urbain. Les projets résidentiels de Taylor et Nishizawa respectent les environnements culturels particuliers de Londres et Tokyo, y réagissent, et font la preuve de l’importance d’une bonne compréhension du lieu pour concevoir des solutions propres à leur contexte. Leurs créations mettent en question les normes traditionnelles et proposent des approches qui façonnent simultanément la vie de l’occupant et le visage de la ville. Le catalogue accompagne l’exposition éponyme de 2008 et présente des images évocatrices des installations respectives des architectes dans les salles du CCA.

Summary:
What role can history play in contemporary architecture practice? ''Besides, History: Go Hasegawa, Kersten Geers, David Van Severen'' invites three architects to reread, redraw, translate, and appropriate from the past and from each other in order to construct relationships between and meanings out of a constellation of references. In their conversations, history becomes a tool that can be used in production, rather than just an object of study. The book features newly produced plans, sections, models, and perspectives for projects by Go Hasegawa and OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen, juxtaposed with reference material chosen from the CCA Collection. Introduced and annotated by the architects, these images form a visual manifesto for a unique relationship to history.

Summary:
This 2G monograph celebrates the craft and ingenuity of MOS, the Harlem-based architecture and design studio founded by Hilary Sample and Michael Meredith in 2005. Recipient of the 2015 Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum National Design Award in Architecture, MOS is responsible for a variety of international projects, from private residences to art studios and community centers, which draw on and combine a consistent vocabulary of readily identifiable shapes from its own architectural catalog—chimneys, corridors, courtyards, roofs, windows. Recent projects include the Huyghe + Le Corbusier Puppet Theater at Harvard’s Carpenter Center; Artist Studio in Ancram, New York; the Floating House in Lake Huron, Ontario; the Welcome and Education Center, Apan Housing Laboratory in Apan, Mexico; and the IVY Coathook System. This volume looks at a representative sampling of its acclaimed projects from the past two decades.
