Abstract

The ten selected essays, a number of which were presented at a three-day international conference co-organized by MoMA to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Complexity and Contradiction in 2016, address diverse issues, such as the book's relationship to Venturi's own built oeuvre and its significance in the contemporary landscape. Additional short commentaries by contemporary practitioners attest to Complexity's enduring influence on architectural practice. Together, these two volumes expand the horizons of--and introduce a new generation to--Venturi's 'Gentle manifesto.'"

Abstract

La force de la figure est une forme d'abstraction qui recouvre l'essence utilitaire ou constructive de l'édifice. Dans cette raréfaction de l'édifice à sa forme, il y a recherche de l'exception ou de l'exceptionnel qui souvent étonne. Au-delà des tendances minimalistes actuelles, l'histoire de l'architecture nous désigne, comme des exemples remarquables, les édifices déclinants des figures élémentaires, plans, strictement carrés, elliptiques ou circulaires (le triangle étant du domaine de l'exception), reflets d'un idéal dont les copies dérivées seraient affectées de certains dérèglements contractés par l'adaptation aux contingences. [...] Chacun des exemples traités illustre une facette de la figure architectonique, quand elle sous-tend la logique d'une organisation spatiale. Il s'agit d'une approche qui se veut antihistorique et si possible de première main. En effet, si les figures continuent à faire sens à travers les âges, on peut s'attacher à décrire l'expérience de l'espace qu'elles continuent à nous transmettre sans avoir nécessairement besoin de connaître le milieu culturel dans lequel les œuvres ont été créées.

Abstract

This paper assesses whether and how financial development triggers the occurrence of banking crises. It builds on a database that includes financial development as well as financial access, depth and efficiency for almost 100 countries. Through estimation of a dynamic logit panel model, it appears that financial development, from an institutional dimension and to a lesser extent from a market dimension, triggers financial instability within a one- to two-year horizon. Additionally, whereas financial access is destabilizing for advanced countries, it is stabilizing for emerging and low income ones. Both results have important implications for macroprudential policies and financial regulations.

Abstract

Multidimensional assessment of human development is increasingly recognized as playing an important role in assessing well-being. The focus of analysis is on the indicators measuring the three dimensions of Human Development Index (HDI) — standard of living, education and health, and their relationship with public social spending for achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The study estimates the effects of public social spending on gross national income (GNI) per capita (in PPP in $), expected years of schooling and life expectancy for a sample of 68 countries. The relationship is robust to controlling for a variety of factors and the estimated magnitudes suggest a positive long-run effect of public educational spending on GNI per capita, public educational spending on expected years of schooling, and public health expenditures on life expectancy.
