Ways of seeing
$12.00
(disponible sur commande)
Résumé:
"Seeing comes before words. The child looks and recognizes before it can speak." But there is also another sense in which seeing comes before words. It is seeing which establishes our place in the surrounding world; we explain that world with words, but word can never undo the fact that we are surrounded by it. The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled.

Résumé:
Moving beyond the seriousness of classical landscape architecture, Monika Gora's work reveals a playful approach to the environment and proves that the built landscape need not be a deadly serious matter but rather is there for the senses: for astonishment, brooding, an aha or a laugh, somewhere between intellect and sensibility, beyond the materialism of garden and(...)

Moving beyond the seriousness of classical landscape architecture, Monika Gora's work reveals a playful approach to the environment and proves that the built landscape need not be a deadly serious matter but rather is there for the senses: for astonishment, brooding, an aha or a laugh, somewhere between intellect and sensibility, beyond the materialism of garden and landscape architecture and far from the conceptualism of museum art.

Zukin traces this economic and social evolution in six archetypal New York areas - Williamsburg, Harlem, the East Village, Union Square, Red Hook, and the city’s community gardens. Like Jane Jacobs, Zukin looks at what gives neighborhoods a sense of place, but argues that over time, the emphasis on neighborhood distinctiveness has become a tool of economic elites to drive up real estate values and effectively force out the neighborhood “characters” that Jacobs so evocatively idealized.

Résumé:
Written in 1973 but only recently discovered in a private archive, this work extends Lefebvre’s influential theory of urban space to the question of architecture. Taking the practices and perspective of habitation as his starting place, Lefebvre redefines architecture as a mode of imagination rather than a specialized process or a collection of monuments. He calls for an architecture of jouissance—of pleasure or enjoyment—centered on the body and its rhythms and based on the possibilities of the senses.

Résumé:
Cet un ouvrage est issu d’un roadtrip d’étude de trois mois, mené par trois jeunes femmes architectes, dans l’Est américain. Il rend compte de leur périple et présente douze thématiques qui regroupent constructions traditionnelles et contemporaines, témoignant toutes d’un «bon sens» constructif et écologique. Le livre rend compte de leur découverte in situ de modèles architecturaux redevenus inspirants par les savoir-faire artisanaux convoqués, la beauté naturelle des matériaux utilisés et l’absence de défi technologique. Leur travail fait ressortir d’une part la nécessité de prendre le temps de regarder pour comprendre et sentir les lieux, et celle de se constituer une sorte de «bibliothèque» de sensations, et d’autre part les vertus formatrices des voyages, sources de rencontres, d’échanges et d’expériences dynamisantes.

This book accompanies a large installation work, which was made in collaboration with the architect Josef Hoffman for the Austrian pavilion of the Venice Biennial.
