The Paris of popular imagination is lined with cobblestone streets and stylish cafés, a beacon for fashionistas and well-heeled tourists. But French American journalist Cole Stangler, celebrated for his reporting on Paris and French politics, argues that the beating heart of the City of Light lies elsewhere in the striving, working-class districts, where residents are now being priced out.Paris Isnt Dead Yet explores the past, present and future of the city through the lens of class conflict, highlighting the outsized role of immigrants in shaping the citys progressive, cosmopolitan and open-minded character at a time when politics nationwide can feel like theyre shifting in the opposite direction. This is the Paris many tourists too often miss: immigrant-heavy districts such as the 18th arrondissement, where crowded street markets still define everyday life. Stangler brings this view of the city to life, combining gripping, street-level reportage, stories of todays working-class Parisians, recent history and a sweeping analysis of the larger forces shaping the city.An eye-opening portrait of one of the worlds most vital urban centres, Paris Isnt Dead Yet is a moment of reckoning for how cities everywhere serve us today.

Es la obra no de un teórico, sino de una personalidad que verificó en la práctica la validez de sus ideas. Publicado en Francia, durante la ocupación de París, en 1943, este libro adquiere por momentos el caracter de un verdadero documento sobre las bases del urbanismo. Resume las ideas del autor a traves de mas de cincuenta años de experiencias, investigaciones, proyectos y realizaciones, que ubican a Le Corbusier como uno de los grandes pensadores del siglo XX. Nueva edicion ilustrada con dibujos originales del autor y con introduccion del arquitecto Roberto Converti.

La Ciudad el Futuro es posiblemente, la obra fundacional del planeamiento urbano y rural modernos. Publicada por primera vez en Paris, en 1924, se constituyó en un dramático llamado de atención referido al crecimiento incontrolado de las ciudades. Solo un visionario como Le Corbusier pudo ser capaz de presagiar un conflicto de tal envergadura y proponer soluciones concretas, que en la actualidad siguen vigentes. Con valentia y el espiritu polemico que lo caracterizan, Le Corbusier efectua propuestas que, a pesar del tiempo transcurrido, siguen siendo uno de los puntos de partida del urbanismo moderno. La Ciudad el Futuro es un documento imprescindible para el interesado en el proyecto y en la planificacion urbana de las ciudades del siglo XXI. Reimpresion de la edicion ilustrada con dibujos originales del autor y con introduccion del arquitecto Roberto Converti.

At the intersection of architecture, art, public culture, and political theory, Socializing Architecture urges architects and urbanists to mobilize a new public imagination toward a more just and equitable urbanization. Drawn from decades of lived experience, Teddy Cruz and Fonna Forman engage the San DiegoTijuana border region as a global laboratory to address the central challenges of urbanization today: deepening social and economic inequality, dramatic migratory shifts, explosive urban informality, climate disruption, the thickening of border walls, and the decline of public thinking.Complementing Spatializing Justice, Socializing Architecture is the second part of a two-volume monograph. It continues to build a compelling case for architects and urban designers to intervene in the contested space between public and private interests. Through analysis and diverse case studies, the authors show how to alter the exclusionary policies and instead advance a more equitable and convivial architecture.Professors Cruz and Forman are principals in ESTUDIO TEDDY CRUZ + FONNA FORMAN, a research-based political and architectural practice in San Diego. They lead a variety of urban research agendas and civic/public interventions in the San Diego-Tijuana border region and beyond. Serving as directors, they are also invested in the University of Californias Center on Global Justice, which advances interdisciplinary research with an emphasis on collective action at community scale.

Spatializing Justice calls for architects and urban designers to do more than design buildings and physical systems. Architects should take a position against inequality and practice accordingly. With these thirty short, manifesto-like textsbuilding blocks for a new kind of architectureSpatializing Justice offers a practical handbook for confronting social and economic inequality and uneven urban growth in architectural and planning practice, urging practitioners to adopt approaches that range from redefining infrastructure to retrofitting McMansions. These building blocks call for expanded modes of practice, through which architects can imagine new spatial procedures, political and economic strategies, and modalities of sociability. Challenging existing exclusionary policies can advance a more experimental architecture, one not bound by formal parameters. Architects must think of themselves as designers not only of things but of civic processes, complicate the ideas of ownership and property, and imagine new sites of research, pedagogy, and intervention. As one of the texts advises, "the questions must be different questions if we want different answers."Cruz and Forman are principals in ESTUDIO TEDDY CRUZ + FONNA FORMAN, a research-based political and architectural practice in San Diego. They lead a variety of urban research agendas and civic/public interventions in the San Diego-Tijuana border region and beyond. The work has been exhibited widely in prestigious cultural venues across the world.

Un viaje por todo el mundo y una exploración reveladora de cómo las ciudades pueden hacer -y hacen- que seamos más felices. Ciudad feliz, de Charles Montgomery, está revolucionando la forma de concebir la vida urbana. Tras decadas de expansion descontrolada, mas personas que nunca estan volviendo a la ciudad. La vida urbana densa se ha prescrito como la panacea para la crisis medioambiental y de recursos de nuestro tiempo. ¿Pero es mejor o peor para nuestra felicidad? ¿Son el metro, las aceras y las torres de apartamentos una mejora respecto a la dependencia del coche en los suburbios? El galardonado periodista Charles Montgomery encuentra respuestas a estas preguntas en la interseccion entre el diseño urbano y la emergente ciencia de la felicidad, durante un estimulante viaje por algunas de las ciudades mas dinamicas del mundo. Conoce al visionario alcalde que introdujo un autobus "sexy" para aliviar la ansiedad por el estatus en Bogota; al arquitecto que traslado las lecciones de las ciudades medievales de la Toscana a la ciudad de Nueva York de hoy en dia; al activista que convirtio las autopistas urbanas de Paris en playas; y a un ejercito de suburbanistas estadounidenses que han modificado el diseño de sus propias calles y barrios. Con nuevos conocimientos de psicologia, neurociencia y los propios experimentos urbanos de Montgomery, Ciudad feliz revela como las ciudades pueden moldear nuestros pensamientos y nuestro comportamiento. El mensaje es tan sorprendente como esperanzador: si adaptamos las ciudades y nuestras propias vidas a la felicidad, podemos afrontar los urgentes retos de nuestra epoca. La ciudad feliz puede salvar el mundo y todos podemos ayudar a construirla.

Éste es un libro sobre el habitar del ser humano. Tenemos que saber dónde estamos y cómo somos para experimentar la existencia como algo significativo. La orientación y la identificación se consiguen mediante el espacio organizado y la forma construida, que juntos constituyen el lugar concreto, es decir, la arquitectura. Asi pues, este libro es una introduccion a la arquitectura.

Partiendo de la premisa de que la formación y evolución urbana de Rosario (Argentina) se ha dado de manera sigilosa, se intenta descubrir y reflexionar a partir de 100 casos de estudio sobre los patrones que guiaron y marcaron esta evolucion, logrando asi compilar un aporte critico-historico, analitico y proyectual de las obras que han sido "protagonistas del cambio". El libro, resultado de una redaccion hibrida, donde el lector encontrara preguntas y respuestas, memorias y reflexiones, todas libradas a recibir aportes y variaciones a lo largo del tiempo y su contextualizacion, estructurandose tambien, como un archivo inedito y activo de obras que silenciosamente construyeron la ciudad que conocemos y vivimos Adquiere especial significacion en este periodo, la emergencia progresiva de conjuntos de viviendas bajas financiadas a traves de la gestion publica, de modo que, en todos los dominios aqui abordados, ha sido necesario articular las "luces y sombras" aportadas por ambas vertientes -la privada y la publica- en la conformacion del paisaje urbano de Rosario.
