Through a detailed and innovative re-assessment of the work of three architects who sought to represent a utopian content in their work and a consideration of the thoughts of a range of leading writers, Coleman offers the reader a perspective of idealism in architectural design. With unparalleled depth and focus of vision on the work of Le Corbusier, Louis I Kahn and Aldo Van Eyck, this book persuasively challenges predominant assumptions in current architectural discourse, forging a new approach to the invention of welcoming built environments and transcending the limitations of both the postmodern and hyper-modern stance and orthodox modernist architecture.

Summary:
Architecture critic Philip Nobel takes us deep into the inner workings of Ground Zero, tracing the redevelopment of this battleground construction site from smoke-shrouded ruin to controversial master plan. Nobel gathers the huge cast of players at war with one another: real estate developers; grieving families; ambitious politicians; and most of all the architects, in the national spotlight as never before, charged with satisfying impossible demands and reconciling a sacred zone with daily life. By turns tragic and comic, "Sixteen acres" is a riveting story of high culture and low dealings, confronting the essential questions: Can buildings provide meaning? Are modern architects up to the job? What are the limits of architecture?

C'est l'événement du 11 Septembre qui ouvre ce dialogue sur cette interrogation béante face à laquelle cela nous a laissé : à quelle destruction avons nous assisté ce jour-là ? Est-ce la fin d'un monde, et de quel monde ? L'un propose, l'autre répond, le premier reprend, le second argumente. Peut-on penser sans le langage ? Pourquoi, comment a-t-on inventé la rue ? le café ? la place ? Comment Apollinaire et Picasso se sont-ils rencontrés ? Qu'est-ce qu'un rêve prémonitoire pour un écrivain ? pour un architecte ? La musique est-elle de même essence que l'architecture ? C'est Hélène Bleskine qui a pensé, originellement, à cette rencontre, et son introduction permet aussi de comprendre pourquoi ces deux-là devaient nécessairement se rencontrer, et pourquoi Philippe Sollers et Christian de Portzamparc, qu'ils évoquent la Chine ou les tours de New York ont en commun plus qu'une langue... un espace poétique.

Bringing together classic pieces by key thinkers--from Marshall McLuhan and Alain Corbin to Susan Stewart and Oliver Sacks--as well as newly commissioned articles, this path-breaking book provides a comprehensive overview of the "sensual revolution," where all manner of disciplines converge. Its aim is to enhance our understanding of the role of the senses in history and across cultures by overturning the hegemony of vision in contemporary theory and demonstrating that all senses play a role in mediating cultural experience. It asks provocative questions that most of us take for granted. Are there, for example, only five senses, or is this assumption a Western construct? This radical contribution to revisioning cultural studies will be essential reading for anyone hoping to understand the full complexity of how we experience our world.
