Abstract

"The womb, the mysterious place where life takes shape, has been opened to the world. Today it symbolises a radically new concept of the body, characterised by an unprecedented continuity between exterior and interior; when the naked eye can go no further, artificial sight takes over, revealing life's most intimate and secret aspects. An instrument of this new continuity between surface and depth, the machine leads our eyes and our senses into our body, to the depths of our planet or onto the moon. From being an instrument of alterity between nature and artifice, it has now become the tool for a new dialogue between men, and between man and matter, between man and nature. While the body, invaded and dilated by technology, becomes architecture, architecture in turn looks to the body, not as a model of order and formal measurement, but as a model of sensitivity, flexibility, intelligence and communicative capacity. Whereas the body designs its own spatial extension, architecture designs its corporeal future. In order to translate the sensitive architecture of the living body into new intelligent spaces, the information paradigm must be changed from the mechanical and computational logic of the abstract machine into a logic of visual and metaphorical complexity, the logic that underlies the physical or corporeal basis of living systems."

Abstract

Si l'architecture construite est amplement analysée ou commentée, le travail d'imagination et d'élaboration, en revanche, reste une sorte de "boîte noire" réputée impénétrable. Longtemps perçue comme empirique et intuitive, la conception architecturale est généralement tenue pour indicible. L'enjeu de cet ouvrage est, au contraire, de proposer une compréhension accessible de ce processus complexe qu'est l'élaboration du projet, par l'introduction progressive de concepts tels qu'espace architectural, espace de conception, échelle et modèle. L'investigation à caractère systématique proposée par les auteurs a pour objectif de faire comprendre par quel travail émerge la réalité architecturale, de rendre communicable la conception, voire l'organiser et de donner les moyens de penser les questions que soulève, hors des convictions personnelles de l'architecte, la création réfléchie d'un édifice.

Abstract

This paper empirically analyzes the effects of a banking crisis on bank credit to the private sector for a panel of developing, developed, and transition economies for the period 1970-1998. The model illustrates how the behavior of the bank credit function changes during a banking crisis, reflecting a generalized disruption in the stability of behavioral parameters. Usual links such as interest rate signaling for lending, and synergy between deposits and loans, fall apart. Moreover, this study gives support to Third Generation Models in their ability to predict banking crises. Based on the empirical findings, the paper then provides policy implications for monetary policy.

Abstract

This paper investigates whether Indonesia’s recent currency crisis was due to domestic fundamentals, common external shocks (“monsoons”), or contagion from neighboring countries. Markov-switching models attribute speculative pressure on Indonesia’s currency to domestic political and financial factors and contagion from speculative pressures in Thailand and Korea. In particular, the results from a time-varying transition probability Markov-switching model (which overcomes some drawbacks of previous methods) show that inclusion of exchange rate pressures from Thailand and Korea in the transition probabilities improves the conditional probabilities of crisis in Indonesia. There is also evidence of contagion in the stock market.
