Essential in the contemporary landscape of urban thought, the theoretical writings of Igniasi de Solà-Morales have never before been translated into French. This collection of ten texts, however, contains a wealth of insights capable of nourishing any reflection on the relationship between city, architecture and territory, whether it concerns the challenges of yesterday or the latent future of our ultra-urban civilization.
First inviting a rereading of the history of architectural theories and practices since the Second World War, the author, both architect and historian, considers the city from the angle of its progressive disengagement from materiality, and envisages it as an infinite and indefinite set of juxtapositions, networks and flows. How can we develop this now fluid urban space, if not " liquid » What to build there? According to what principles?
The avenues of reflection opened up in these pages are the fruit of original thinking. A thought outside of dogma which, contrary to functional and security-based urban planning serving individualism, advocates respect in the city for " vacant lots », paradigm of a vital right to otherness, to freedom, to absence and to uselessness.
