Summary:
Comment, au milieu du XIXe siècle, Paris a-t-elle pu devenir l’incarnation urbaine de la modernité ? Pour répondre à cette question, David Harvey a exploré les mutations connues par la ville à cette époque : transformation physique, avec les grands projets d’Haussmann, qui remplace le plan médiéval par les grands boulevards ; transformation économique, avec une nouvelle forme de capitalisme dominée par les puissances financières et industrielles ; transformation culturelle, avec l’irruption de ce qu’on appellera plus tard le modernisme ; transformation sociale, avec l’émergence de violents antagonismes de classes qui atteignent leur paroxysme dans les révolutions de 1848 et de 1871. En présentant la ville moderne comme le produit instable de forces hétérogènes et contradictoires, David Harvey nous offre une image vivante du fonctionnement de Paris ainsi qu’une vision panoramique de la période décisive que fut le Second Empire. Mais cette analyse de la ville moderne est aussi l’occasion d’une réflexion magistrale sur la ville contemporaine – sur la part de la population dans l’urbanisation, sur son accès aux ressources, en somme sur le «droit à la ville».

Invité à redéfinir simplement les zones d’accueil et d’accès de la salle de théâtre des Arbalestriers dans l’esprit des Maisons Folie qui venaient de voir le jour à Lille en 2004, Matador est parvenu à réaffecter l’ensemble du domaine exploitable. Si la salle de théâtre est restée dans son état initial, Matador, pratiquant une architecture de friche, revendique pleinement l’originalité des concepts d’Espace des possibles et de Margin’halle – ces deux lieux formant, avec la cour centrale, la Maison Folie de Mons

The host of examples ranges from places of worship such as Hagia Sophia and Brunelleschi’s Duomo to living spaces such as the Katsura Imperial Villa and the Alhambra, national icons such as the Lincoln Memorial and the Sydney Opera House, and skyscrapers such as the Seagram Building and Beijing’s CCTV headquarters. Rybczynski’s narrative emphasizes the ways that buildings across time and space are united by the human desire for order, meaning, and beauty.This is the story of architecture’s physical manifestation of the universal aspiration to celebrate, honor, and commemorate, and an exploration of the ways that each building is a unique product of patrons, architects, and builders.
