The spaces of science are understudied by the spatial disciplines and studies of science and technology. This book examines this multidisciplinary overlap through a comparative study of four of the world's most important radio telescopes. Through detailed analysis, historical research, interviews, personal observations, and various conceptual manoeuvres, the author reveals the depth of spatial process active at these scientific sites and the territories they traverse. Through the conceptual frameworks of territory, hyper-concentration, and contingency, the book examines the telescope as one exploded across space and time, present in multiple connected sites simultaneously, and active in the production of space. It develops a historiographic and contemporary analysis of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA, Chile); the Five-hundred-meter diameter Aperture Spherical Array (FAST, China); the Arecibo Observatory (Puerto Rico); and the MeerKAT/SKA (South Africa). These case studies are global exemplars of the different spatial transformations that occur through science. Their relationships to surrounding communities and landscapes reveal deeper constitutional processes embodied in each institutional and spatial form. This book spans the modern history of architecture and science, the studies of science, technology and society, and urban theory. It is of specific interest to architects and designers expanding their analysis of spatial production, scholars in the study of geography, landscape, science, technology, and astronomy, and people fascinated with how these radio telescopes were conceptualised, built, and operate today.

Qui niera que l'arche de la Défense à Paris soit un "cube", la pyramide du Louvre une "pyramide" et la géode de la Villette une "sphère"? Mais ces formes géométriques sont-elles architecturales? Et en quoi sont-elles plus "géométrique" que les formes architecturales conçues par Frank Gehry ou les figures fractales conçues par Benoît Mandelbrot? Comment penser ce qui rapproche et en même temps sépare la "géométrie" de l'architecte et la géométrie du mathématicien? Descartes, Pascal, Desargues, Gauss, Bolzano, Poincaré, Mandelbrot, Serfati et autres mathématiciens philosophes, Jean-Jacques Gardies, Gilles-Gaston Granger, Jules Vuillemin, Ludwig Wittgenstein et autres philosophes des mathématiques, nourrissent les espaces de référence à partir desquels ce livre a été conçu, à la recherche d'une géométrie, "commode" pour l'architecture, en référence aux figures d'Aalto, Brunelleschi, Durand, Gehry, Kahn, Le Bernin, Le Corbusier, Palladio, Philibert de l'Orme, Rietveld, Serlio, Utzon, Villard de Honnecourt, Viollet-le-Duc, Wright...

"Naturalizing Architecture" is the new edition of Archilab 2013. Today, through recourse to the most advanced digital tools, architects envisage projects which evolve according to principals similar to those found in nature. The architecture is therefore designed like an organism in constant adaptation, with the ability to evolve in close interaction with the material conditions of its environment. Broadly exceeding the boundaries of their practice, architects now develop a practice at the crossroads of design, computer science, engineering and biology. Conditions for production in the domain of architecture are radically redefined by this convergence, as well as by the constant evolution of the processes and tools for digital manufacturing.

Cet ouvrage explore l'arrivée des sciences biologiques - notamment les sciences de la "vie" impliquant les études de botaniques et de zoologie ainsi aue l'écologie , la science de l'évolution, la physiologie, la psychologie.. - au XIXe siècle et leur impact sur l'architecture et l'architecture du paysage en Grande-Bratagne. Ce livre explore l'idée de l'environnement artificiel comme un objet de spéculation à la fois scientifique et la réflexion esthétique. Il amorce également l'actuelle préoccupation de l'homme pour son environnement et la question du bien-être humain dans le débats sur un logement convenable ainsi que la popularité croissante des jardins domestiques et publics au XIXe siècle.
