Vis[LE] : architecture, urbanisme, paysage, patrimoine...: BALADE URBAINE | DECOUVRIR L'UNE DES 7 MERVEILLES DU MONDE... | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

Sont nommées "merveilles" toutes les oeuvres architecturales et artistiques qui étaient considérées comme extraordinaires à l'époque antique. Cela veut dire :
- des dimensions spectaculaires par rapport aux édifices connus
- c'est remarquable (voire "fou") par rapport aux méthodologies de construction rudimentaires utilisées pour les réaliser face aux technologies actuelles. Parfois, c'est à se demander comment ils ont réussi à édifier tout ça !

Covers/Luis Urculo

Covers/Luis Urculo | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

Covers is an investigation about architecture as a consumption object or souvenir and its relation with the domestic non-specialized language of everyday things.
The work is a reconstruction and review of iconic monumental pieces of architecture whose image is built by objects to change the perception of this universal masterworks.
The concept is based on the music covers where the original is manipulated, re-represented, revisited to create something new.

Le Corbusier, une œuvre mise à plat

Le Corbusier, une œuvre mise à plat | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

Après les horreurs de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Le Corbusier à repensé entièrement la notion de «civilisation machiniste» qui avait été au cœur de sa pensée et de son œuvre dans les années 1920 et 1930. Pour lui, la guerre avait prouvé que la machine pouvait se retourner contre l’homme et contre la civilisation. Il n’y avait donc pas de meilleure façon d’étudier Le Corbusier que de commencer au moment où il tentait de se définir autrement. Voilà comment il nous a menés vers une nouvelle vision de son architecture, loin de celle que nous avions, pour poser un regard nouveau sur lui.

The hidden city | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

One of the distinct pleasures to be had in Paris is the feeling you get when you open a door into a private space. Enter a digicode and hear the satisfying click-thunk sound, or simply push open a closed but unlocked door to find yourself in the world that normally only Parisians would see.

polis: Sharon Zukin on Authenticity | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

"Authenticity must be used to reshape the rights of ownership. Claiming authenticity can suggest the right to the city, a human right, that is cultivated by longtime residence, use, and habit. Just as icons – in the original, religious meaning of the word – derive their meaning from the rituals in which they are embedded, so do neighborhood, buildings, and streets... If we appreciate them as authentic, we are speaking from a distance of space and time, where we no longer participate in the routines and rituals of their origins...
