Moqué ou ignoré, le sujet des petits coins condense une partie des grands problèmes du monde. L'insuffisance des installations fait obstacle à l'égalité et à la dignité des personnes mobiles, des femmes, des sans-abri, des habitants des bidonvilles. Préoccupation de santé et de sécurité pour les centaines de millions d'individus toujours contraints à la défécation à ciel ouvert, les toilettes posent aussi des questions écologiques, au regard notamment de leur consommation en eau.

Squares, galleries, loggias, porticoes, and courtyards are the elements that characterize Italy’s historic towns and cities—and that make the experience of these public spaces intense and attractive. Labics sets out to explore these enchanting spaces, to analyze their history and typologies, and to document and describe them through newly produced photographs, plans, and diagrams. They offer a taxonomy of solutions that, as a whole, forms a timeless theory for the design of public spaces. ''The architecture of public ppace'' forms a captivating collection of image material that visually decodes the characteristic core elements of Italian architecture and specifies their role in the definition of public space. The volume highlights the architectural solutions from the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries that produce the particular spatial quality of these urban structures and sets out how they were originally established for and are continuing to be used by the people.

Summary:

Un drôle d'urbaniste, le dénommé John Mill, accompagne le changement. La rue rendue piétonne est peu à peu plantée à même la chaussée. On organise des fêtes ouvertes à tout le monde, où se mêlent gens du cru ? habitants et coiffeurs d'origine africaine ? et les passants bien sûr... Un conte de fées urbain? Plutôt un vaudeville à la limite parfois d'être une tragédie. Car un porche se révèle très vite un des acteurs, accueillant peu à peu SDF en surnombre puis vagues de migrants. C'est cette histoire vécue d'une transformation que raconte cet ouvrage, un récit passionné des moments d'enthousiasme et des écueils surmontés.

Summary:
The walls of the Reichstag are covered with graffiti, written by victorious Soviet soldiers in 1945. Hidden for 30 years, the Reichstag graffiti were rediscovered by Norman Foster and his team when they began work on the building in 1995. They were preserved as part of Foster’s concept of the Reichstag as a ‘living museum’ of German history. Published at a time when the graffiti are threatened with eradication, this book offers an important visual and literary record. Deborah Lipstadt considers the arguments for and against the preservation of the graffiti: is the preservation, as some charge, "morally offensive" and "masochistic" or does it indicate a brave determination not to forget the tragedies of the past? And what does it mean and say about Germany today? Frederick Baker considers the graffiti as a monument to the individual and offers an historical account of the Battle of Berlin through the eyes of Red Army soldiers as they approached their ultimate goal, including the soldier who first raised the Red Flag above the Reichstag. This illustrated volume allows the inscriptions to be made accessible and understandable to a wider public for the first time.

Ces expositions ont pour point d’impulsion la récurrence de l’esthétique du chantier dans le travail d’artistes contemporains - tractopelles d’Ange Leccia, bétonneuses de Wim Delvoye, sculptures d’échafaudages de Buren. Pour ces deux expositions, les artistes invités par Anne Langlois et Patrice Goasduff produisaient une nouvelle œuvre dont ils définissaient eux-mêmes la forme et le lieu d’apparition autour de cette esthétique du chantier et de leur fascination respective pour la machinerie, la possibilité d’intervention à l’échelle d’un espace, d’un bâtiment, voir d’une ville. Chantier public rend compte des deux expositions, du travail des artistes invités et plus particulièrement des œuvres qui y ont été produites. Chaque œuvre est représentée et commentée, analysée par un auteur. Rassemblant le travail de Lara Almarcegui, Matthieu Appriou, Yves Gendrea, Patrice Goasduff et Stakler, le premier Chantier Public pointe les relations arts plastiques et architecture qui dépassent largement la conception réductrice selon laquelle l’architecture contient les arts plastiques. Cette première interprétation de chantier public donne lieu à des œuvres performatives et documentaires parlant de construction et de destruction. Avec Chantier publics #2, les créations d’atelier mobile, de Simona Denoclai et d’Ivo Provoost, de Daniel Dewar et Grégory Gicquel, de Le gentil garçon, de Nicolas Milhé, de Benoît-Marie Moriceau et de Bénédicte Olivier parlent recherches, fabrication, techniques, modes de construction.

Summary:
Building on the book "Art in a City" by John Willett, which surveyed the history of the visual arts in Liverpool, this collection of essays explores art in contemporary Liverpool and engages with the view from outside the City and outside Britain. It examines the often made but rarely challenged claim that Liverpool is ‘the most significant UK centre for art outside London’, and looks at the key institutional players, such as the Bluecoat and the Walker Art Gallery as well as all those that post-date Willett, including Tate Liverpool, Open Eye, FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology), and the Liverpool Biennial. There are discussions of the role of Liverpool as an arts city from the perspective of key artists who have worked in the city; of public vs private patronage in the arts, including the extent and role of public funding; of the changing nature of public art; of the social role of the arts; and of community participation in the arts. The book has a major consideration of the role of the arts in city regeneration and of the concept of ‘the creative industries’.

Summary:
This essay opens up multiple dimensions of the oncept from architectural, political, philosophical, and technological points of view. There is some historical analysis here, but the contributors are more focused on the future of public space under conditions of growing urbanization and democratic confusion. The added interest offered by non-academic work—visual art, fiction, poetry, and drama—is in part an admission that this is a topic too important to be left only to theorists. It also makes an implicit argument for the crucial role that art, not just public art, plays in a thriving public realm.
