In the past two decades economic bubbles inflated and architectural spending around the globe reached fever pitch. In both well-established centers of capital accumulation and far--flung locales, audacious building projects sprang up, while the skyscraper, heretofore more commonly associated with American capitalism, seemed as if it might pack up and relocate to Dubai and Shanghai. Of course, much has changed in the past couple of years. In formerly free-spending Dubai, the tallest building in the world is now is named after the president of Abu Dhabi after he stepped in with last--minute debt financing. In cities across the United States, housing prices have nose-dived and cleared lots sit ready for commercial redevelopment that likely won't take place for another decade. Similar stories are not hard to find in many other nations. Architecture firms that swelled in flush days are jettisoning employees at a startling rate. In the context of economic instability (and its attendant social and political consequences), this edited volume brings together scholars, critics, and architects to discuss the present state of uncertainty in the practice and discipline of architecture. The chapters are organized into three main areas of inquiry: economics, practice, and technology. Within this larger framework, authors explore issues of security, ecological design, disaster architecture, the future of architectural practice, and the ethical obligations of the social practice of design. In doing so, it argues that this period has actually afforded architecture a valuable moment of self-reflection, where alternative directions for both the theory and practice of architecture might be explored rather than continuing with an approach which was so nurtured by capitalist prosperity and affluence.

Sous le format accessible au plus large public de la collection des « 101 mots à l'usage de tous », nous proposons une réflexion autour de la notion très ambiguë du droit d'auteur en architecture. La parenthèse et le pluriel choisis pour le titre indiquent que ce droit n'est pas fixé historiquement et encore moins juridiquement, qu'il est toujours à (re)créer sur chaque bâtiment et/ou situation urbaine. Surtout à l'heure où l'hégémonie libérale amplifie et creuse profondément les inégalités, dans cet univers comme dans tous les autres : d'un côté, des stars sans doute jamais autant sollicitées et protégées, de l'autre, un exercice commun de la profession toujours plus remis en question dans ses prérogatives et ses droits, en premier lieu par les logiques financières. Bref, ce droit d'auteur n'existe pas en tant que tel et il faut sans répit le faire vivre et le construire (autant que le faire respecter).

"Learning a new discipline is similar to learning a new language; in order to master the foundation of architecture, you must first master the basic building blocks of its language - the definitions, function, and usage. Language of Architecture provides students and professional architects with the basic elements of architectural design, divided into twenty-six easy-to-comprehend chapters. This visual reference includes an introductory, historical view of the elements, as well as an overview of how these elements can and have been used across multiple design disciplines. Whether you're new to the field or have been an architect for years, you'll want to flip through the pages of this book throughout your career and use it as the go-to reference for inspiration, ideas, and reminders of how a strong knowledge of the basics allows for meaningful, memorable, and beautiful fashions that extend beyond trends. This comprehensive learning tool is the one book you'll want as a staple in your library. " [Publisher]
