Fo(u)r cities
La ville est partout, la ville est nulle part. La notion de ville est une nébuleuse dans laquelle on se perd avec plus ou moins de bonheur et il n'est plus certain que l'on puisse continuer à penser la ville contemporaine en termes propres à notre culture européenne des 19e et 20e siècles. Tel un tissu vivant, les espaces qui la composent sont modelés, transformés pour s'adapter aux nouvelles formes de mobilité et au processus de modification fonctionnelle d'une entité toujours croissante notamment densifiée mais toujours vibrante. La ville est aussi lieu d'échange à la fois constructif et destructeur, lieu de forte densité et de grande béance, lieu d'attirance et de répulsion...
Architecture as Environment
Founded in 2009, Paris-based PARC Architectes has risen to prominence, winning awards and accolades in its native France and beyond. Just as important as its design work is PARC Architectes's research on contemporary architecture and urbanism, laid out in the essay Le Parc Planetaire (The Planetary Park), published in the firm's own journal, PRAGMA, and on its blog, CRAPZINE. This first book to focus on PARC Architectes, Architecture as Environment features fifteen foundational designs by the firm, chosen to reflect the firm's credo that the environment has to become a matter of architecture. At the interface of art and science, PARC Architectes's designs are installations rather than mere structures, enabling adequate responses to contextual and conceptual issues in the construction of contemporary human environments. In addition to brief essays, the book also includes one hundred illustrations, including many in full color.

Agenda
AGENDA occupies the territory between a monograph, diary, and a collection of essays, interviews, and conversations, produced by JDS Architects with a wide range of contributors and collaborators. Starting from the belief that an agenda is not simply an expression of individual intentions, but rather a vector for the production of new realities, AGENDA addresses the need for architecture to transform itself in an era of ecological and economic crisis. Change, the buzzword of the last U.S. presidential campaign, is indeed the order of the day, and AGENDA explores exactly what kind of change will be needed if architects are to assume a political and social agency in this new landscape. The book seeks to define not only the work of JDS Architects, but also the challenges and situations confronting young architectural practices emerging at a time of crisis. An ambitious attempt to describe the conditions within which architecture is produced today.
