Exaltée par certaines utopies modernistes au XXe siècle, à la fois désirée et crainte au XXIe siècle dans nos sociétés de la communication et de l'exposition de soi mais aussi de la surveillance, la transparence est l'objet de discours critiques divers qui en déploient les significations métaphoriques, notamment dans le domaine social et politique. Ces discours se focalisent sur ses effets, le plus souvent jugés pervers, mais n'examine pas la transparence pour elle-même.Tout en rappelant l'éventail des approches critiques, ce volume recentre le regard sur le phénomène de la transparence tel qu'il est mis en oeuvre par les artistes dans des oeuvres qui, le plus souvent, interrogent notre rapport au monde. Il apparaît alors que la notion de transparence gagne à être perçue à travers le prisme du transparaître qui, en mettant l'accent sur la phénoménalité sensible et instable de la transparence, permet d'en étendre le champ de questionnement à des pratiques artistiques plus diverses et à des interrogations esthétiques moins contraintes par l'idéologisation dont la transparence fait souvent les frais.Composé d'études rédigées par des philosophes, esthéticiens, historiens ou théoriciens de l'art, de la musique, du cinéma ou de l'architecture, le livre comprend également les interventions d'artistes qui intègrent la transparence et le transparaître dans leur réflexion et leur pratique.

Recent years have seen the construction of buildings made of plastic, structures that are as attractive as they are unusual. After initial experiments in the 1970s, plastic is currently experiencing a tremendous boom. Originally used for temporary structures like the BMW Pavilion in Frankfurt, it is now employed in many permanent buildings as well, including the recent Catholic church in Radebeul by Staib/Behnisch. Prominent international avant-garde architects such as Shigeru Ban and Herzog & de Meuron frequently use transparent plastic for their structures. Transparent plastic seems ephemeral and thus captures the spirit of the times. Its various qualities between transparent and translucent make it possible to achieve fascinating effects with light and color. Projects presented include the Allianz Arena in Munich by Herzog & de Meuron, the Rocket Tower in Leicester by Grimshaw & Partners, the Paper Art Museum by Shigeru Ban in Shizuoka, Japan, and the public housing development Cité Manifeste in Mulhouse by Lacaton Vassal. Seit einigen Jahren entstehen ebenso attraktive wie ungewöhnliche Bauten aus Kunststoff. Nach ersten Versuchen in den 1970er Jahren erlebt der Baustoff derzeit einen ungeheuren Boom. Zunächst für temporäre Bauten wie dem BMW Pavillon in Frankfurt genutzt, entstehen mittlerweile auch zahlreiche bleibende Gebäude (wie kürzlich die Katholische Kirche von Staib/Behnisch in Radebeul). Bekannte Architekten der internationalen Avantgarde wie Shigeru Ban oder Herzog & de Meuron verwenden gerne transparenten Kunststoff für ihre Bauten. Das Material scheint ephemer, transitorisch (ohne es zu sein) und trifft damit den Nerv der heutigen Zeit. Seine unterschiedlichen Qualitäten zwischen transparent und transluzent erlauben faszinierende Licht- und Farbeffekte. Zu den dargestellten Projekten gehören die Allianz-Arena in München von Herzog & de Meuron, der Rocket-Tower in Leicester von Grimshaw & Partner, das Papiermuseum von Shigeru Ban in Shizuoka, Japan, und der soziale Wohnungsbau der Cité Manifeste in Mulhouse von Lacaton Vassal.

Ci sono miti culturali che consentono di riflettere sulla modernità a partire dalle sue radici, permettendo di indagarne gli sviluppi e le polarità fondamentali: tra questi, il mito della trasparenza che, nato in ambito architettonico con l’erezione del Crystal Palace di Londra nel 1851, da tempo non riguarda più soltanto la creazione di spazi caratterizzati da una totale reversibilità ottica di interno ed esterno, ma è ormai divenuto un concetto chiave del dibattito politico e sociale di tutto l’Occidente. Con un taglio agile ma teoricamente agguerrito e un linguaggio che unisce rigore e scorrevolezza, Riccardo Donati affronta qui le tappe evolutive di tale fenomeno, seguendone la progressiva trasformazione da sogno a incubo attraverso lo studio di quelle discipline che da sempre hanno il compito di forgiare e diffondere i miti: la letteratura e le arti della visione. Da Thackeray a Dumas, da Dostoevskij a Ruskin, passando per il Novecento modernista di Tzara, Breton, Scheerbart, Benjamin, Joyce, Palazzeschi, Bontempelli, Duchamp, Ejzenštejn, Zamjatin, fino ad autori del Dopoguerra e della contemporaneità (tra gli altri, Nabokov, Calvino, Rodari, Ballard, Romero), il presente saggio mostra come muovendosi costantemente tra i territori dell’immaginario e delle concrete pratiche costruttive, fuori e dentro il perimetro della storia (realmente vissuta o soltanto ipotizzata), intellettuali e artisti di tutto il mondo abbiano attribuito alle costruzioni diafane valori di segno opposto. Di volta in volta palazzi di vetro, case di cristallo, vetrine commerciali e teche trasparenti sono serviti a veicolare utopie libertarie e incubi concentrazionari, previsioni di un luminoso orizzonte egualitario e oscuri scenari di omologazione generalizzata, approdando infine, in questi ultimi anni, a vere e proprie visioni apocalittiche circa il destino della collettività.

Examining the transformation of transparency as a metaphor in West German political thought to an analogy for democratic architecture, this book questions the prevailing assumption in German architectural circles that transparency in governmental buildings can be equated with openness, accessibility and greater democracy.The Transparent State traces the development of transparency in German political and architectural culture, tying this lineage to the relationship between culture and national identity, a connection that began before unification of the German state in
