Summary:
Morgan intersperses her observations with excerpts from interviews and transcripts of freestyle lyrics. Providing a thorough linguistic interpretation of the music, she teases out the cultural antecedents and ideologies embedded in the language, emphases, and wordplay. She discusses the artistic skills and cultural knowledge MCs must acquire to rock the mic, the socialization of hiphop culture’s core and long-term members, and the persistent focus on skills, competition, and evaluation. She brings attention to adults who provided material and moral support to sustain underground hiphop, identifies the ways that women choose to participate in Project Blowed, and vividly renders the dynamics of the workshop’s famous lyrical battles.

Observatorium is a unique consortium of three artists that has developed a philosophy and a working procedure that aims to make the grey areas and interfaces of architecture, urban design, landscape architecture and art more productive.

Summary:
Barcelona 1000 Graffiti is a photo-essay by Rosa Puig about graffiti in Barcelona, a city that's become a meeting place and 'concrete canvas' for graffitists from all over the world. The wide range of graffiti documented in this work is scattered throughout the city, a cause of astonishment and admiration for some, of concern for the authorities, and of despair for the owners of facades irreverently invaded under cover of darkness. The graffiti collected in this book are found in different areas of Barcelona - from the very central to the most far-flung - and offer very diverse topics and tones - by turns poetic, socially aware, dissenting - while competing with the customary visual pollution of the city and helping to enrich its landscape. The photographs reflect the surprised gaze of their author, at once captivated by 'graphic pieces' that, as she says, she 'would rip off the walls and hang in my house.'

Summary:
Dans les villes du Nord et du Sud où l’humanité continue de se masser, il est certainement possible de concevoir des espaces publics plus viables et plus propices aux échanges, aux rassemblements, à la simple douceur d’habiter vraiment la ville. Mais pour pouvoir intervenir intelligemment, il faut d’abord savoir observer les comportements sur le terrain, constater l’usage que les gens font des rues et des trottoirs, de leurs ruelles, des terrains de jeu, des places et des terrasses, et comprendre les réussites et les échecs de l’urbanisme tels qu’ils s’imposent à nos vies au quotidien. Jan Gehl et Birgitte Svarre proposent ici de répondre avec les instruments de l’étude de la vie dans l’espace public, une pratique qui met l’humain au centre des préoccupations et qui est aujourd’hui responsable de succès éclatants dans les plus grandes villes du monde.

Trafic routier, nuisances sonores, pollution de l'air, globalisation de l'offre commerciale, cloisonnement des espaces et des usages, 'la plus belle avenue du monde' est contrariée. Ses places et ses jardins, désertés par les Parisiens, doivent aujourd'hui engager leur mutation et permettre à chacun de se réapproprier ce patrimoine exceptionnel. Au-delà des questions urbaines, les enjeux du nouveau régime climatique doivent présider à cette transformation. Les défis sont nombreux : diminuer le nombre et l'intensité des îlots de chaleur, rendre les sols plus perméables ; libérer, unifier et augmenter les espaces verts ; favoriser les mobilités douces ; valoriser le patrimoine existant ; construire sans consommer davantage ; continuer à croître sans aggraver la dette environnementale, inventer de nouveaux types de financements et de partenariats... L'étude ''Champs-Elysées, histoire & perspectives'', menée par l'agence PCA-STREAM à l'initiative du Comité Champs-Elysées, engage la relecture de la construction urbaine et symbolique de ce territoire. Elle en fait le diagnostic au regard des problématiques locales et des enjeux contemporains pour offrir une vision nouvelle, qui s'appuie sur le travail collaboratif d'une large équipe d'experts internationaux - chercheurs, historiens, acteurs économiques et culturels, scientifiques, artistes... Les attendus et calculs démontrent la faisabilité de cette transformation et, par anticipation, la possible évolution des espaces publics et touristiques dans les métropoles de demain.

Summary:
The international architectural competition and publication ‘Reclaiming the Street’ are part of ‘Endless City’, a long-term project of Showroom MAMA in which the relationship between skateboard culture, public space and (visual) art is being investigated. The creativity with which the skaters 'use' the city and how they question (architectural) rules, offer new perspectives on the design and use of public space by different groups of users. The call for ‘Reclaiming the Street’ was the design of an object or adaptation of urban space to be used by skateboarders and the general public, encouraging multiple uses. With a text by architectural historian Ian Borden and a chapter from Jocko Weyland’s ‘The Answer is Never’.
