In Between

Manola Antonioli / Florian Bulou Fezard / Gwen Rouvillois

This book aims to examine the various forms of hybridization between artistic, design, and architectural practices. It adopts a transdisciplinary perspective in order to reflect on the space-time of creation and its repercussions in education, research, and transmission. What approaches could be used to combine these different areas of practice and theory in bold educational initiatives, transcending disciplinary boundaries and their contingencies?

As anthropologist Tim Ingold has shown, the noun “in-between” indicates a process, a movement, or a becoming in which things are never fixed in a preconceived identity. The authors (researchers, artists, designers, architects) have chosen to situate themselves in the space of the in-between, an interstitial and eventful space that constantly requires new mapping. The aim is to go beyond the analysis of known situations of collaboration between the arts, architecture, and design in order to better understand the workings of the multiple connections between these fields: what makes them possible, what they make possible. Through practices of “indiscipline” and “relational pedagogy,” new territories for research-creation are opening up.

Biomimétisme

Manola Antonioli

Designers, architects, and artists have always turned to nature to imitate the beauty of its forms and seek inspiration from an aesthetic point of view, or to imitate its processes and behaviors. Today, biomimicry seeks to draw inspiration from nature to invent ecological solutions to problems in a wide variety of fields (agriculture, IT, materials science, industry) and to develop new interactions between humans and their environments.

This book aims to bring together researchers, designers, and architects to examine the complex set of questions raised by the concept of “biomimicry.”

Machines de guerre urbaines

Manola Antonioli

This book brings together contributions from architects, designers, theorists, and artists who develop projects and ideas related to the complexity of contemporary urban spaces. These contributors embrace the unpredictable and the unexpected, operating according to the nomadic principles that characterize the "war machine" theorized in 1980 by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in A Thousand Plateaus. The book offers a glimpse into the variety of approaches that are thus being invented: guerrilla gardening, the emergence of new landscapes produced by the new place given to nature and its spontaneous dynamics in the city, novel forms of urban agriculture, artistic and architectural interventions in interstices and "in-between territories," urban walks and drifts, cartography and navigation, "territorial narratives," but also urban micro-factories and heterotopias that nourish contemporary urban practices, theories, and imagination.

The texts collected in Urban War Machines come from research carried out in parallel within the framework of the activities of the LARU (Urban Research Laboratory) of the National School of Art of Dijon and the Manèges conferences organized by the La Maréchalerie art center of the National School of Architecture of Versailles.

Paysages variations

Vincent Jacques / Alain Milon / Manola Antonioli

We usually think of landscape as the overall view that nature offers of a geographical expanse. In his Philosophy of Landscape, Simmel poses a simple question: is landscape a sum of disparate elements, or a unified entity possessing an atmosphere or a state of mind? In other words, is nature a unified whole or not? In fact, can nature be conceived of independently of humankind's perception of it? And when humankind, in defining landscape, defines nature, does it thereby dismiss the question of whether nature has its own independent norms?

The texts and images gathered in this volume come from a series of discussions entitled "Around Landscape as Artistic Variation," organized by La Maréchalerie, the contemporary art center of the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Versailles. They explore landscape as a contemporary concern for architects, theorists, artists, and those who use the land.
