Summary:
Manfredo Tafuri (1935–1994), the celebrated Italian architectural historian, published "L’architettura moderna" in Giappone in 1964. At the time, Tafuri was twenty-nine years old and had not visited Japan. Here, translated into English for the first time, the book presents a rare outsider’s view of the Metabolist movement and figures such as Kenzo Tange by one of the most astute critics of the second part of the twentieth century. Tafuri’s ideas about Japanese architecture were primarily formed through texts, including magazine articles and contemporary photographs. How did Tafuri come to select the achievements of Japanese architects as the focus of his reflections on modern architecture? What happens when a historian of architecture relies purely on photographs for making judgments about a building? Edited and introduced by Mohsen Mostafavi, this volume reflects on these questions, and more, and includes a rich collection of images.

Summary:
''Projet et utopie'' est la réédition du classique - paru en français en 1979 - de Manfredo Tafuri (1935-1994), architecte et théoricien de l'urbanisme italien. En s'attachant à appliquer les thèses opéraïstes aux domaines de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme, l'auteur propose une réflexion sur la métropole comme lieu de l'accumulation capitaliste et de l'antagonisme social. La ville devient dans cette optique l'un des sites majeurs de déploiement de la critique sociale, mais aussi de bon nombre d'entreprises avant-gardistes et utopiques : l'espace urbain comme enjeu politique, imbriqué aux rapports de domination et d'aliénation, qu'il s'agit toujours de subvertir.Projet et utopie ou comment l'histoire de l'architecture se fait critique de l'idéologie.
