Airs de Paris
The book is divided into two interactive parts, one devoted to the visual arts and the other to design and architecture. It covers three themes: - The development of the information and communication technologies that generate mutations and give rise to new ways of perceiving space and time and create new languages; - In the postcolonial and globalised world, society redefines itself through its different communities whose identity is based on national, cultural or religious bases; - As society dematerialises whole swathes of its activities via the new information and communication technologies, what criteria do we adopt to define ourselves as individuals? The reproduced works present new and recent works of contemporary artists, designers and architects that have a specific resonance with the themes examined.

Today, spaces no longer represent a bourgeois haven; nor are they the sites of a classical harmony between work and leisure, private and public, the local and the global.

He proposes that we rethink design in terms of a new definition of...

It uses simultaneous narratives to explore scales and perspectives and the layered spatial and political agency that an ephemeral event – the Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture – has gradually established in the city between 2005 and 2019. Encapsulating Shenzhen’s ambitions as a world-class city, the Biennale aims to actively build a relationship between architecture and socio-spatial issues as a device to not only investigate the city’s hypertrophic developmen...
Transgression
Transgression means to 'cross over': borders, disciplines, practices, professions, and legislation. This book explores how the transgression of boundaries produces new forms of architecture, education, built environments, and praxis. Based on material from the 10th International Conference of the AHRA, this volume presents contributions from academics, practicing architects and artists/activists from around the world to provide perspectives on emerging and transgressive architecture. Divided into four key themes – boundaries, violations, place and art practice - it explores global processes, transformative praxis and emerging trends in architectural production, examining alternative and ra...
