Il s'organise en trois temps forts Introduction : questions essentielles, objectifs de connaissance par chapitre, lectures indispensables et notions clés à maîtriser. Cours : savoirs fondamentaux assortis d'exemples localisés, de définitions et de focus thématiques, d'une page d'entraînement et d'une étude de cas mobilisant des documents géographiques. Méthodes : méthodologie détaillée de chaque type d'exercice, avec son application commentée. »--Quatrième de couverture.

Abstract

"Rurality Re-imagined is divided into four loosely themed sections: Villagers, Farmers, Wanderers, and Wild Things with each comprised of five or six diverse chapters. In the section on Villagers, rural communities are considered as assemblages and spaces of vernacularity, as dark settings for TV dramas, new wave photography, and as sites for community arts projects. The Farmer's section critically re-invigorates the historical fascination with peasantry and farming in the arts through essays, painting, and photography that collectively place the agency of the artist under as much scrutiny as images of agricultural space and people. Stereotypically, the word 'Wanderers' conjures images of gypsy caravans, or country ramblers, but Rurality Re-imagined stretches the label to include not only the traditional migrations of reindeer herds, but also that of the motorway driver, and migrations of cultural forms as well, such as the hip hop clubs of New York to the fields of rural Devon. In the essays and images about Wild Things, wilderness emerges as a highly contested cultural terrain far from any state of purity as it manifests itself in the behaviour of people, flora, and fauna in cultivated and uncultivated landscapes and parks."--

Abstract

Taking stock of the severe environmental predicament that now faces our world, this exhibition intends to ignite a reflection (both retrospective and prospective) on the strong link between the twin disciplines of agriculture and architecture, and on their growing divorce since the industrial revolution. It aims to learn from agricultural scientists, activists and designers who have consistently explored the hypothesis of a future of energy descent and its consequences, for the redesign and maintenance of living territories. Agroecology and permaculture have evolved useful concepts and strategies for imagining a post-industrial technology based on a radical economy of energy and material resources. What if we consider permaculture not only as a kind of architecture? What about redefining architecture’s rationality and economy of means today? The exhibition is structured in three main areas: a central space with seven sections, a large-scale illustration and a screening area for documentary films. Taking the Country’s Side is a reflexive and didactic attempt to reconnect architecture and agriculture, and to emphasize lessons that contemporary architects and urbanists might draw from this school of thought and action.
