Abstract

'On Intricacy is perhaps unusual in that it’s not a monograph, nor is it a hagiography. John Meunier is still alive. On Intricacy celebrates and proselytises the ideas that John has articulated throughout his career. On Intricacy is not a book about him as such, nor simply a book by him, but a book with him, and it reflects his life’s work as an architect and teacher, in the UK and USA. On Intricacy continues conversations between John Meunier and Patrick Lynch that first appeared in Issue 2 of the Journal of Civic Architecture. It also includes essays by Meunier, Lynch and the architect Simon Henley, as well as new photography of the Meunier House at Cambridge by David Grandorge.On Intricacy also documents projects undertaken in collaboration with other architects including The Burrell Collection at Glasgow (with Barry Gasson and Brit Andresen, colleagues in the department of architecture at Cambridge University); the Wendon House and Edington House at Cambridge, and the sports pavilion at Essex University (with Barry Gasson); student housing at New Hall Cambridge (with David Handlin); and the Gordon House at Cincinnati, where Meunier was head of the architecture school at the university.Meunier discusses collaboration itself, with colleagues and with clients, as an aspect of the intricate character of architectural creativity. An essay concerning the intricate collaboration between Madame Shroeder and Gerrit Rietveld on the design of the Shroeder House at Utrecht, is complimented by Making Desert Cities, a meditation on the role of the natural world and social life in the architecture and urbanism of Phoenix (where John was head of the design and planning faculty and now lives), comparing this with the intricacy of traditional desert cities. Intricacy is not only an aesthetic term, although it is a sign of quality in artistic work, as something intrinsic to human situations. Intricacy is something that architecture does or doesn’t reflect, and when it does, it tends to be life-like, vital, and therefore good. On Intricacy is a visual and written polemic reflecting the hard-won wisdom of a practical life. On Intricacy is also a biography of sorts of a man born into a relatively recent, but also a very different age. It tells an inspiring story from a period of hope and opportunity in the 20th century. On Intricacy will be welcomed by students, historians and practising architects, and by anyone concerned with the deep reciprocity of ethics and aesthetics in human ecology and culture.' - Patrick Lynch - Editor

Abstract

Ce nouveau livre rédigé dans un style clair et concis est à conseiller absolument à qui veut comprendre les processus qui ont conduit aux attentats de Paris, de Bruxelles et de Nice. Au-delà de l’émotion et des avis en tous sens des “experts” et “spécialistes” (parfois auto-proclamés), seize professeurs et chercheurs de l’Université catholique de Louvain, soutenus par la faculté des sciences économiques, sociales et politiques, ont relevé le défi. Issus de différentes disciplines et réputés pour leurs analyses et leurs implications, ils tentent de mieux comprendre les racines de ce phénomène qui nous a tous bouleversés. On sait aujourd’hui qu’il n’existe pas une explication des attentats, mais différentes causes. Par ce livre, courageux et original, les auteurs offrent aux lecteurs une analyse équilibrée et très large des attentats. Des analyses brèves et percutantes, emboîtées les unes aux autres, débutent par la prise en considération de la trajectoire des individus, pour aborder ensuite la famille, le quartier, la communauté, l’État, les relations internationales pour aboutir à la société globale (Internet). Complet, l’ouvrage débouche sur la proposition de rencontres politiques organisées au niveau national, afin d’impulser la réalisation d’un plan d’action, vaste et complexe. La démarche privilégie un débat politique crucial, en réafirmant la vivacité de notre démocratie.
