Résumé:
'Rejoignez les colonies de l'espace !' proclamaient les publicités volantes dans les cieux noirs et pollués du Los Angeles cyberpunk de Blade Runner en 1982. À cette date, dans le vrai monde, ces 'colonies' rangées dans les cartons à dessins de la NASA entonnent pourtant leur ultime chant du cygne. Cinq ans plus tôt, alors que le célèbre Stewart Brand avait mis un terme à son Whole Earth Catalog (1968-1972) au profit de CoEvolution Quaterly (1974-1985), les 'villes pour 10 000 habitants' conçues par Gerard O'Neill pour l'agence spatiale défrayent les rédacteurs hippies, libertariens architectes, astronautes ou futurs entrepreneurs de la Silicon Valley. Fallait-il fuir notre planète à l'heure de la Bombe P et du 'retour à la terre' ?

These studies, from those specific to the Wexner Center to those of historical significance, point towards a new method for shaping the visual form of buildings, places, and cities.
