Abstract

Aureli revisite le travail de quatre architectes dont les projets ont concerné la forme architecturale mais dont le souci était la ville dans son ensemble : Andrea Palladio, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Étienne Louis-Boullée, et Oswald Mathias Ungers. Leur travail, selon Aureli s'intéresse aux transformations de la ville moderne grâce à l'élaboration de formes architecturales spécifiques et stratégiques et non sous la forme d'un plan global.

Abstract

The city is often depicted as a sort of self-organizing chaos. This collection of essays, edited by Pier Vittorio Aureli, makes the case for the opposite hypothesis: The city is always the result of political intention, often in the form of specific architectural projects. Cities are shaped not only by material forces, but also by cultural and didactic visions. This thesis is substantiated by eight thoroughly researched essays scrutinizing a fascinating line-up of urban conditions across more than two thousands years of history: from the political theology of the Islamic city to the political economy of Renaissance architecture; from the rise of public architecture in 17th-century France to the laissez-faire development of the contemporary Greek city; from the exemplary teachings of Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand to the collaborative work of Hannes Meyer; and from the plan of the Mesoamerican metropolis to that of the Fordist factory floor. In challenging the split between theory and practice, The City as a Project reveals the powerful ways in which the city arises from the constant interaction between ideas and spatial conditions.

Abstract

The fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome is the fiftieth birthday of the "European project." Here an international team of 16 architects and urban planners associated with the important Dutch architecture think-tank, the Berlage Institute, asks how the city of Brussels can do justice to its mission as the capital of the continent. What image does Brussels want to project as a capital city within the European Union and beyond? What are the indisputable qualities of the European presence in Brussels? How can Brussels consciously do justice to its European mission and be a true embodiment of the European political project?Brussels: A Manifesto is an exceptionally visionary project, presenting a poetic, engrossing and magical image of Europe's communal capital city. With contributions by prominent thinkers such as Mario Tronti, Elia Zenghelis, Pier Vittorio Aureli and Iwan Strauven, this volume presents a powerful standpoint that links architecture's representative role to the future of Europe.

Abstract

Albert Pope's 1996 seminal book Ladders is now available in a second edition. Considered a classic in the field of urbanism and one of our most requested out of print titles, Pope's provocative study of five post-war American cities examines the forces--including demographic upheavals, market expansions, and technological developments--that precipitated a change from the open system of the pre-war urban grid to the fragmented and closed spaces of suburban cul-de-sacs, expressways, and office parks. Through an incisive series of diagrams and photographs, Pope reveals the concepts, theories, and rules that have guided their organizational evolution into post architectural spaces whose character is shaped more by the effects of immense urban spaces and infrastructure than built forms. A new preface by architect and educator Pier Vittorio Aureli situates the book in the context of contemporary urban thinking and makes a compelling argument for it's continued relevance as springboard for the investigation of our contemporary cities.

Abstract

The Brussels-based architectural studio Dogma was founded in 2002. Led by Martino Tattara and Pier Vittorio Aureli it has focused almost exclusively on large-scale projects and citywide interventions. These projects venture beyond mere physical size to expand conceptual frameworks and radically rethink what it is to produce an architectural project, in the process challenging the very discipline itself. This book, and its accompanying exhibition at the AA School of Architecture, explores 11 works developed since 2002 that collectively present the Dogma ethos: to see the urban project as a comprehensive domain in which architectural form, the political and the city are reclaimed as one 'field'. Mobilising and reinvigorating both drawing and text - the quintessential tools of architecture - these 11 projects range from speculative and theoretical proposals to investigations that question today's modes of housing. Complementing the projects themselves are essays by Brett Steele and Gabriele Mastrigli.

Abstract

Dogma's research into the architecture of the room is part of an ongoing exploration into domestic space that the Brussels-based office have been pursuing since 2012 through various design projects and publications. Far from being a constant, unvarying architectural form, the room is the product of specific historical circumstances and is therefore always undergoing transformation and change. The architecture of the room is related to one of the most controversial and problematic issues of human history: the domestication of society. The form of the room subtly conveys the ways in which individuals have been differentiated and defined as subjects, with concomitant gender and class associations

Abstract

« Less is more », dit le dicton moderniste. Mais est-ce bien le cas ? À une époque où l'on nous exhorte sans cesse à faire « plus avec moins », pouvons-nous encore romantiser les prétentions du minimalisme ? Le propos d'Aureli s'exprime dans toute son actualité, alors que presque dix ans se sont écoulés depuis sa première publication : il offre un regard critique sur la pratique architecturale et sur les questions fondamentales de la discipline, que ce soit dans le passé ou pour notre avenir.

Abstract

In Loveless, Brussels-based studio Dogma expand on Teige’s dialectical understanding of this type of housing by tracing a history of the minimum dwelling, from monasteries to residential hotels, from kitchenless apartments to contemporary lodgings. Through 50 studies, Dogma’s goal is to provide a genealogy of a contradictory typology which has represented both luxury and poverty, freedom and oppression, solidarity and solitude, emancipation and exploitation. The development of the minimum dwelling runs parallel to the rise of capital and the consequent mobility and precarity of work and life. ‘Minimum dwelling’ commonly refers to an extremely reduced space for living, and as such, it is associated with typologies such as the micro-flat, the micro-home, the studio apartment or even a miniature version of the typical family house. This typology was strongly criticised in 1932 by the Czechoslovakian critic and poet Karel Teige in his book Nejmenší byt (The Minimum Dwelling). In opposition to the minimum dwelling as a reduced version of the traditional flat, Teige proposed an alternative: a collective dwelling in which every adult would be provided with a ‘minimal but adequate, independent, habitable room’, while all domestic services such as housekeeping, cooking and childcare would be collectivised. For Teige, the minimum dwelling is not an apartment but a room which is fully supported by shared domestic facilities. Teige was highly influenced by the widespread proliferation of hotel living and workers’ lodgings in major European and American cities between the 19th and 20th century. While Teige acknowledged that these types of living were often determined by the increasing pauperisation and precarity of the working class under capital, he also saw the potential for a new form of life in which domestic labour would be socialised and would thus no longer be the ‘private’ work of the family. His idea of collective dwelling was thus a radical version of these precedents, which he saw as instrumental in changing the habits of dwelling towards an egalitarian society freed from the burdens of family living, domestic labour and private property. Dogma was founded in 2002 by Pier Vittorio Aureli and Martino Tattara. Pier Vittorio Aureli teaches at the AA School of Architecture in London and is Visiting Professor at Yale University, Martino Tattara is Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Architecture, KU Leuven.
