The topic of the journals first issue, Literary Methods in Architectural Education, derived from our observation that many of the contributors to the 2013 Writingplace conference shared a particular practice: that of architectural education. Realizing that many scholars interested in the crossovers between architecture and literature find room to experiment, particularly in the environment of seminars and studios, we decided to dedicate the first issue of the Writingplace journal to this topic, in the hope of creating an international dialogue upon the topic of architecture and literature within the space of architectural education.

Why write instead of draw when it comes to architecture? Why rely on literary pieces instead of architectural treatises and writings when it comes to the of study buildings and urban environments? Why rely on literary techniques and accounts instead of architectural practices and analysis when it comes to academic research and educational projects? Why trust authors and writers instead of sociologists or scientists when it comes to planning for the future of cities? This book builds on the existing interdisciplinary bibliography on architecture and literature, but prioritizes literature's capacity to talk about the lived experience of place and the premise that literary language can often express the inexpressible. It sheds light on the importance of a literary instead of a pictorial imagination for architects and it looks into four contemporary architectural subjects through a wide variety of literary works. Drawing on novels that engage cities from around the world, the book reveals aspects of urban space to which other means of architectural representation are blind. Whether through novels that employ historical buildings or sites interpreted through specific literary methods, it suggests a range of methodologies for contemporary architectural academic research. By exploring the power of narrative language in conveying the experience of lived space, it discusses its potential for architectural design and pedagogy. Questioning the massive architectural production of today's globalized capital-driven world, it turns to literature for ways to understand, resist or suggest alternative paths for architectural practice. Despite literature's fictional character, the essays of this volume reveal true dimensions of and for places beyond their historical, social and political reality; dimensions of utmost importance for architects, urban planners, historians and theoreticians nowadays.

"Ornement et Crime", La Charte d'Athènes, Learning from Las Vegas, New York délire... Autant de titres qui marquent assurément la culture du XXe siècle. La lecture de Loos par Broch ou Debord tout comme la part prise par les écrits de Venturi dans la définition du postmodernisme attestent de la place occupée par les architectes dans le débat intellectuel. Dans le même temps, l'écrit de l'architecte garde néanmoins un statut ambigu, qui le marginalise souvent. Selon les uns ou les autres, il apparaît soit trop spécialisé, soit pas assez. Peut-être cette ambiguïté tient-elle à son origine même. L'écriture de l'architecte occupe presque toujours une place seconde : elle accompagne bien souvent le bâtiment, l'image ; à tout le moins, elle semble trouver sa légitimité dans cette autre activité - fondatrice - qui la précède et la dépasse. Comment même pourrait-elle vraiment en rendre compte ? Se mesurer avec elle ? Du silence de l'architecture, l'écriture dégage pourtant un discours, dans un langage accessible à tous, et d'autant plus efficace. Par la plume, l'architecte reconfigure l'espace idéologique, comme il redessine l'espace par ses plans. Peut-être même la découpe physique de l'espace ne se fait-elle vraiment que sur le fond d'une installation première dans le monde partagé des mots et des valeurs. Pour reprendre le fameux jeu de mots pascalien, l'écriture finit par comprendre l'architecture, lui permettant encore de dialoguer avec les discours et les savoirs de son temps. [4e de couverture]
