Bringing together ten utopian works that mark important points in the history and an evolution in social and political philosophies, this book not only reflects on the texts and their political philosophy and implications, but also, their architecture and how that architecture informs the political philosophy or social agenda that the author intended. Each of the ten authors expressed their theory through concepts of community and utopian architecture, but each featured an architectural solution at the centre of their social and political philosophy, as none of the cities were ever built, they have remained as utopian literature. Some of the works examined are very well-known, such as Tommaso Campanella's Civitas Solis, while others such as Joseph Michael Gandy's Designs for Cottages, are relatively obscure. However, even with the best known works, this volume offers new insights by focusing on the architecture of the cities and how that architecture represents the author's political philosophy. It reconstructs the cities through a 3-D computer program, ArchiCAD, using Artlantis to render. Plans, sections, elevations and perspectives are presented for each of the cities. The ten cities are: Filarete - Sforzina; Albrecht Dürer - Fortified Utopia ; Tommaso Campanella - The City of the Sun ; Johann Valentin Andreae - Christianopolis ; Joseph Michael Gandy - An Agricultural Village ; Robert Owen - Villages of Unity and Cooperation ; James Silk Buckingham - Victoria ; Robert Pemberton - Queen Victoria Town ; King Camp Gillette - Metropolis ; and Bradford Peck - The World a Department Store. Each chapter considers the work in conjunction with contemporary thought, the political philosophy and the reconstruction of the city. Although these ten cities represent over 500 years of utopian and political thought, they are an interlinked thread that had been drawn from literature of the past and informed by contemporary thought and society. The book is structured in two parts : the utopian Renaissance cities and the utopian cities of the Industrial Revolution.

C'est une époque, un style, une histoire. Les années 1980, le postmodernisme architectural, la Gauche au pouvoir. Les Grands Projets et Banlieues 89. Le Syndicat de l'architecture et un mouvement en faveur des Ateliers Publics d'Architecture et d'Urbanisme. Les uns en appelaient déjà à la raison, tandis que les autres exaltaient encore la révolution. Le Mai 81 des architectes aura balancé durant au moins deux années entre l'appel au projet et à la construction au sein d'un exercice libéral canonique, et l'attente inassouvie d'un grand chamboulement de la fabrique de la ville qu'auraient probablement suscité la généralisation d'ateliers publics municipaux rassemblant des architectes fonctionnaires. Faire grève contre les fonctions officielles aura été l'un des privilèges de ceux qui étaient jeunes en mai 68 ; 81 sonnera déjà la redistribution des cartes et des positions. Mais si 68 fut une période de remises en question, Mai 81 ne le fut pas moins. Et nous nous serions trompés à nous être laissés aller à penser que les débats et polémiques de l'époque se seraient éteints pour de bon. Comme un symptôme, tous les lauréats français d'un grand projet mitterrandien se sont trouvés engagés d'une manière ou d'une autre en 2008 dans le Grand Paris de Nicolas Sarkozy. Ce nouvel essai s'inscrit dans le prolongement des Architectes et Mai 68 paru il y a six ans. Il cherche à réactiver et revisiter Mai 81 pour clore peut-être cet entre-deux-Mai qui nous aura tous intensément marqués et aura si profondément redessiné les contours de notre quotidien

a oeFirst we shape things, then they shape usa, was Churchilla (TM)s view. What kind of architecture can be said to shape? Who does it shape? And by what means does it shape? The authora (TM)s answers to these questions are a surprise. Through war and proximity to stress. After a tour da (TM)horizon through Roman temples, Washingtona (TM)s corridors of power and Meccaa (TM)s anti-panic architecture it becomes clear that architecture is anything but in the background. Instead it is situated in the hot spot of transmission dynamics and is capable of altering cultures, empires and even religions.

Au-delà des théories classiques dont il retrace l'histoire en remontant à Platon ou à Vitruve, cet essai novateur propose une philosophie politique - et non pas simplement esthétique ou symbolique - de l'architecture. Partant du constat que la Révolution française s'est déroulée dans des rues et sur des places qui avaient été construites moins d'un siècle auparavant, et que les masses révolutionnaires n'auraient pas pu se rassembler si ces nouveaux espaces publics n'avaient pas existé, il s'interroge sur les conditions architecturales de la démocratie : quels types d'espaces rendent possibles ou impossibles certains types d'actes ou d'événements ? Où l'on apprend que le cours de l'histoire dépend de la construction de l'espace... Là où Michel Foucault avait étudié l'architecture en tant que technologie de pouvoir, Ludger Schwarte tente de cerner son rôle dans les mouvements d'émancipation. Si l'on conçoit les espaces publics comme des théâtres de l'action collective, alors la question est de savoir si leur configuration permet des interactions événementielles, des expérimentations créatrices. En ce sens, tout espace public authentique est fondamentalement anarchique. [4e de couverture]

"What can political theory teach us about architecture, and what can it learn from paying closer attention to architecture? The essays assembled in this volume begin from a common postulate: that architecture is not merely a backdrop to political life but a political force in its own right. Each in their own way, they aim to give countenance to that claim, and to show how our thinking about politics can be enriched by reflecting on the built environment. The collection advances four lines of inquiry, probing the connection between architecture and political regimes; examining how architecture can be constitutive of the ethical and political realm; uncovering how architecture is enmeshed in logics of governmentality and in the political economy of the city; and asking to what extent we can think of architecture-tributary as it is to the flows of capital-as a partially autonomous social force. Taken together, the essays demonstrate the salience of a range of political theoretical approaches for the analysis of architecture, and show that architecture deserves a place as an object of study in political theory, alongside institutions, laws, norms, practices, imaginaries, and discourses."--

Comment, dans un paysage politique en ruines, reconstituer la vérité des faits ? La réponse d’Eyal Weizman tient en une formule-programme: « l’architecture forensique ». Approche novatrice au carrefour de plusieurs disciplines, cette sorte d’architecture se soucie moins de construire des bâtiments que d’analyser des traces que porte le bâti afin de rétablir des vérités menacées. Impacts de balles, trous de missiles, ombres projetées sur les murs de corps annihilés par le souffle d’une explosion: l’architecture forensique consiste à faire parler ces indices. Si elle mobilise à cette fin des techniques en partie héritées de la médecine légale et de la police scientifique, c’est en les retournant contre la violence d’État, ses dénis et ses « fake news ». Il s’agit donc d’une « contre-forensique » qui tente de se réapproprier les moyens de la preuve dans un contexte d’inégalité structurelle d’accès aux moyens de la manifestation de la vérité. Au fil des pages, cet ouvrage illustré offre un panorama saisissant des champs d’application de cette démarche, depuis le cas des frappes de drone au Pakistan, en Afghanistan et à Gaza, jusqu’à celui de la prison secrète de Saidnaya en Syrie, en passant par le camp de Staro Sajmište, dans la région de Belgrade.
