Abstract

"Town planning. Interest-led, open-minded education. Conservation of worthwhile buildings. Community gardens. All are so central to our society that we think we invented them. In fact they were visualised by Sir Patrick Geddes, one of the greatest forward-thinkers of the modern world. A Victorian Scot, Geddes went out of fashion after his death but in recent years he has been become almost a patron saint of the sustainable development movement. His ideas and his practical example continue to inspire the world, in the present and in the future. This new edition of Think Global, Act Local incorporates much new work on Geddes and examines in particular the question of how this Scot from a fairly humble background, with no university degree, could be welcomed into the Darwin/Huxley circle, could be the confidant of two Viceroys and twice be offered a knighthood."--Back cover.

Abstract

O livro é uma contribuição à história do pensamento urbanístico e suas tradições. A obra se constrói por meio da montagem, operação que permite criar oposições, fricções e incongruências, na qual a impureza é o grande libelo conceitual, ao lado da busca incessante da alteridade. Nesse labirinto, tensiona-se pensamento e argumento, instigando suas possibilidades e limites. Trata-se de um livro dedicado aos vários outros deserdados da história oficial do movimento moderno em arquitetura e urbanismo, evidenciando que uma herança, qualquer herança, é sempre uma montagem, uma construção, e que essa herança que a autora buscou montar é apenas uma entre várias outras possíveis.

Abstract

Très connu dans le monde anglophone, Patrick Geddes est presque ignoré en France, sa “patrie spirituelle”, où il a choisi en 1924 de s’établir pour réaliser un projet, le Collège des Écossais de Montpellier réalisé par Edmond Leenhardt, dont les bâtiments et les jardins existent toujours. Il voulait y faire la synthèse de son œuvre pluri-disciplinaire de biologiste, de sociologue et de géographe-urbaniste, et surtout d’éducateur. Cette publication est une des premières sur Geddes en français, et la première à présenter sa Cité universitaire montpelliéraine ouverte sur le monde. Elle rassemble des témoignages d’amis, de collègues, d’étudiants qui sont tour à tour émerveillés et agacés, enthousiastes et fatigués, impressionnés et moqueurs. Mais chacun est heureux de la rencontre avec cet homme vif et captivant, exigeant et pourtant simple, curieux de tout et de tous, visionnaire et prolixe.
