Abstract

Cet ouvrage divisé en 2 parties, s'appuie sur un travail de dessin (part 2) et sur une réflexion théorique (part 1) pour expliciter les changements et les ruptures qui affectent la ville américaines. Dans l'histoire des rapports entre la ville européenne/ville américaine, architecture/forme générale de la ville, il distingue 7 scènes de l'architecture : la ville de la Renaissance, la ville baroque, la grille continentale et la ville américaine quadrillée, la ville gratte-ciel, la ville moderniste, la ville suburbaine et enfin la scène X (pour X-Urban city). In the process, X-Urbanism confounds our expectations, showing us such things as the subtle order of chaotic Los Angeles and the random disruptions of Chicago's rigorous grid For Mario Gandelsonas, the American city is essential to the understanding of modern urbanism, its practice, and the city of the 21st century. Through a series of remarkable analytical drawings, X-Urbanism opens up the architectural discourse to the questions raised by the American city: the generation of new configurations of urban space and form, and the production of different conditions of urban viewing. X-Urbanism presents both an examination and a visual deployment of the formal properties of the American city, blurring the traditional oppositions between fabric and object, figure and ground, writing and reading. It reveals the hidden structures of New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, New Haven, Des Moines, and Atlantic City

Abstract

From the pilgrims to Las Vegas, hippie communes to the smart city, utopianism has shaped American landscapes. The Puritan small town was the New Jerusalem. Thomas Jefferson dreamed of rational farm grids. Reformers tackled slums through crusades of civic architecture. To understand American space, Alex Krieger looks to the drama of utopian ideals.
