Originally published in 1970, The Urban Revolution marked Henri Lefebvre's first sustained critique of urban society, a work in which he pioneered the use of semiotic, structuralist, and poststructuralist methodologies in analyzing the development of the urban environment. Although it is widely considered a foundational book in contemporary thinking about the city, The Urban Revolution has never been translated into English - until now. This first English edition, deftly translated by Robert Bononno, makes available to a broad audience Lefebvre's sophisticated insights into the urban dimensions of modern life. Lefebvre begins with the premise that the total urbanization of society is an inevitable process that demands of its critics new interpretive and perceptual approaches that recognize the urban as a complex field of inquiry. Dismissive of cold, modernist visions of the city, particularly those embodied by rationalist architects and urban planners like Le Corbusier, Lefebvre instead articulates the lived experiences of individual inhabitants of the city. In contrast to the ideology of urbanism and its reliance on commodification and bureaucratization - the capitalist logic of market and state - Lefebvre conceives of an urban utopia characterized by self-determination, individual creativity, and authentic social relationships.

Lucius Burckhardt (1925-2003) a exposé sa théorie de la « plus petite intervention possible » au début des années 1980. L’idée d’intervention minimale traverse toute son œuvre, de sa critique de l’urbanisme à la science de la marche. La « plus petite intervention possible » désigne une théorie de l’aménagement qui suppose deux « points de vue » dans l’aménagement paysager : ce qui est réellement visible et celui qui est dans notre esprit. La théorie de l’intervention minimale consiste à ne pas interférer excessivement avec le paysage existant, mais plutôt à travailler avec le paysage dans notre esprit pour développer une compréhension esthétique de l’environnement. Dans ce livre, disponible pour la première fois en anglais, le sociologue suisse applique cette formule à de nombreux domaines du design. (editeur)

"Townscape" is the art of giving visual coherence and organisation to the jumble of buildings, streets and spaces that make up the urban environment. Its concepts were first developed by Gordon Cullen in The Architectural Review and were later embodied in the book TOWNSCAPE (1961) which instantly established itself as a major influence on architects, planners and others concerned with what cities should look like. Its interest, however, goes far beyond the professional sphere. Some may see it as an important contribution to art and architectural history since, for the first time, it explores the fact that certain visual effects in the grouping of buildings were based on quite definable, if often spontaneous, aesthetic principles. Others may find that it teaches them to appreciate, as no other book has done, what it is that makes a town "work" architecturally. A third group may want to study it for Cullen's superb drawings of city scenery - a skill at which he is the acknowledged master.
