Summary:
Addressing the pivotal role played by speed in modern life – from art, architecture, and urbanism to graphics and design, to economics and the material culture of the eras of industry and information – Speed Limits presents a multifaceted view that is both a defence of speed and an implicit denunciation of its detrimental effect on contemporary life. Along with the essays, the book includes an anthology of nineteenth- and twentieth-century statements on speed and slowness from writers such as Charles Dickens, Friedrich Nietzsche, Marcel Proust, J.G. Ballard, Italo Calvino, and Marshall McLuhan, among others. Dividing these two sections is a visual essay by Jeffrey T. Schnapp that draws images from the archives of the CCA and the Wolfsonian.

Summary:
Actions : comment s’approprier la ville présente la recherche et l’écriture originales qui interrogent les façons dont les actions humaines façonnent le design des villes contemporaines et l’expérience qu’on en fait. Publié à l’occasion de l’exposition tenue en 2008 au CCA, Actions : comment s’approprier la ville comprend trente essais originaux de portée internationale. Ces textes traitent tant des observations personnelles d’un éventail d’activistes que des réflexions de spécialistes qui analysent les répercussions positives de ces initiatives individuelles sur la ville ; 34 actions tirées de l’exposition s’imbriquent aux textes. Les actions sont représentées par des images couleur et de courtes descriptions, qui précisent le nom des acteurs, les outils et les lieux concernés. Mirko Zardini et Giovana Borasi, directeurs de la publication et commissaires de l’exposition, signent chacun une introduction offrant une perspective historique ; ils campent l’exposition et la publication dans le cadre de la conservation.

Perspectives de vie à Londres et à Tokyo se consacre aux projets architecturaux récents de Stephen Taylor à Londres et de Ryue Nishizawa à Tokyo, qui suggèrent de nouvelles façons d’appréhender la vie en milieu urbain.

Summary:
En 1726, Lord Burlington, fervent admirateur d'Andrea Palladio, architecte italien du XVIe siècle, entrepris de transformer radicalement une modeste demeure du XVIIe siècle donnant sur la Tamise à l'ouest de Londres. Il a voulu édifier une "villa" dans le sens plein du terme. Dix ans auparavant, Lord Burlington avait entièrement rénové son hôtel particulier à Londres en s'inspirant également de Palladio. Cette résidence, Burlington House, a contribué à lancer, avec Chiswick, un goût nouveau en architecture qui devait par la suite s'étendre à toute l'Angleterre et à l'Amérique du nord. Cette exposition, tout comme le catalogue qui l'accompagne, retrace l'élaboration d'un tout nouveau style architectural.
