« Bien que l’expression “l’architecture de survie” ait un sens à peu près inverse de celui de “la survie de l’architecte”, mon but dans ce livre, est de reconsidérer le rôle de l’architecture dans la simple survie de l’espèce, sans pour autant utiliser des slogans grandiloquents, sans surestimer ce rôle et sans faire de propositions utopiques, donc irréalisables.

Il va me falloir, de nouveau, poser certaines questions (sur lesquelles je travaille depuis plus de quarante ans), les analyser et enfin, et surtout, mentionner, à titre d’exemples, quelques solutions que j’ai proposées durant ces quarante ans. Les questions sont fort simples : à qui revient le droit de décision en matière d’architecture? Comment assurer ce droit à celui auquel il revient? Comment le faire dans un monde qui va vers une pauvreté croissante? Comment survivre dans un tel monde? Qu’est-ce que ce “monde pauvre”? Comment agir face à ces perspectives? »

Summary:
Yona Friedman presents a personal selection of half a century of his work. In 1958 Yona Friedman published his first manifesto on "mobile architecture" and founded GEAM (Groupe d'Etude d'Architecture Mobile), which proposed different strategies and actions geared to the adaptation of architectural creation to modern user requirements concerning social and physical mobility. In this initial manifesto, Friedman points out that architectural knowledge cannot be the exclusive property of professionals and specialists, and suggests writing guides ("manuals"), which explain topics related to architecture and urban planning in clear and simple terms. Following some recent publications that have reasserted the importance of Friedman's work, Pro Domo is "a collection of fragments of scattered topics," a set of "milestones" selected by the author himself. In his words, these highlights are not meant as a testament nor do they, form a coherent whole." Instead, they form a personal selection chosen according to their sentimental value and span fifty-year period of production dating from the foundation of GEAM. The book includes building structure studies, urban design theories, observations on regional development, as well as design manuals for self-construction and competition projects.

Summary:
"People make too much of architecture. I have a running quarrel with architects who overestimate architecture. Reality is at eye-level with people walking down the street." Born in 1923 in Budapest, Hungary, Yona Friedman is widely considered one of the greatest utopian visionary architects of the twentieth century. Currently based in Paris, he is just as much a sociologist as a designer of buildings, more concerned with the way people interact with their environments than monumental statements by an ego-centric creator. In this illuminating talk with The Conversation Series editor Hans Ulrich Obrist, he touches on the needs of the individual in heterogeneous urban societies, past and future projects, utopia, influences and metaphysics, revealing a wise and deeply-animated humanistic intellect. Known for his 1958 manifesto, L'Architecture mobile, Friedman's ideas have remained influential. His work was featured at the 2002 Documenta.

L'existence d'un "Etat mafia" est la conséquence de l'impossibilité du maintien de l'Etat démocratique classique dès que les dimensions de l'Etat dépassent certaines limites ; et la "mafia des médias" en découle directement, par suite de l'impossibilité de la communication globale. L'échec de ces deux utopies généreuses, la démocratie et la "communication globale" entre les hommes, entraîne logiquement la formation de ces mafias qui agissent en notre nom et contre nos intérêts".

Summary:
Gleaned from texts written from the 1970s onwards, this volume collects practical information on the construction of roofs and shelters that were intended to meet the material needs of impoverished peoples in the Global South. It is representative of architect Yona Friedman’s foresight in those years, as he had already decided to focus his interventions on how to include the inhabitants in the design of their habitat and dwellings. Besides being tested for UNESCO, Friedman’s manuals include essential 'blackboard' sketches. Ultimately, ''Roofs'' highlights the fact that the various issues facing modern cities are the result of irresponsible attitudes towards our planet.
