Abstract

Historical evolution and processes of cultural and economic globalization have brought out relevant and frightening risks on a global scale: from urbicide and violence to climate change and an increase in natural disasters, but also an enormous widening of economic and social inequality. Today, humanity as a whole is facing epochal challenges that require a radical metamorphosis of inhabited spaces. Cities Under Pressure illustrates a new design paradigm, an open intervention system that seeks the establishment of a dynamic equilibrium that is continuously renegotiated. Cities Under Pressure imagines and defines new urban environments that abandon a rigid design scheme in favor of growing evolutionary mechanisms capable of embodying the ongoing sustainable transition, so as to guarantee a resilient and peaceful future.

Abstract

La Triennale di Milano presents “AFRICA Big Change Big Chance”. The exhibition, curated by Benno Albrecht, explores and reflects on the urban and architectural transformation and the big changes facing the African continent, ranging from great demographic to climate and social changes.“Change” particularly refers to urban concentration, while “Chance” is personified by the protagonists of African architecture from World War II to tropical modernism, until today; interpreters of an architecture focused on the broader issues of overall urban setting and intervention.Focusing on Africa from the viewpoint of architecture means concentrating on a place where some of the most interesting, complex and disturbing phenomena of recent years are developing. The exhibition, which is divided into 5 sections, presents research on the most outstanding cases: Lagos, Maputo, Nairobi, Cairo, etc. The show also illustrates major territorial transformations and projects, on a continental and a global scale, that have to do with the use of water, the production of energy, the battle against desertification, new infrastructures and new actors operating in this scenario.

Abstract

Le CPAS de Bruxelles possède un patrimoine immobilier provenant d'un héritage séculaire. Le photographe Marc Detiffe dévoile toute la richesse architecturale, non seulement des bâtiments emblématiques, mais aussi des nouveaux logements, « Les 1.000 logements », tous lieux de vie et de cohésion sociale. Des articles d'auteurs internationaux et belges évoquent la politique foncière et urbanistique du CPAS ainsi que son implication dans l'architecture durable. Une présentation historique introduit chaque section. L'originalité de cet ouvrage réside, notamment, dans la présentation territoriale du patrimoine bruxellois au départ des antennes sociales. Ces dernières sont un foyer de rayonnement d'une nouvelle organisation sociale, économique et culturelle de la ville.
