Descripción
Sumario:Faced with the inflation of images of the city, it is important to implement scientific questioning, capable of shedding light on their role in the development of knowledge and practices of spatial intervention. Three disciplines are mainly questioned here to deal with the constriction of urban figurations, their effects, their modes of circulation: architecture, town planning and geography. Case studies, organized according to four main themes - the historical imprint of the figures, the role of cartography in the development of projects for the city, visual culture and disciplinary strategies carrying figurative production - were entrusted to international specialists. The whole of the iconography gathered, rich and original, shows that an image needs to be studied within series, whether these refer to a whole (manual, project, review) or that they are commentary , interpretation. By the field of reflection it opens, this work is aimed at specialists in all disciplines, who make the city an object of study. It interests both those who study the current uses of urban imagery and those who reflect on the founding moments of this imagery. Because it does not seek to draw up an exhaustive table of the question which it treats, but because it proceeds by analysis of symptomatic cases, this book concerns the epistemologist or the historian of knowledge who will find analyzes located and able relate to a broader questioning. Finally, it offers a community of professionals committed to the practice, both the elements of a common culture, which remains in many respects still to be built, as well as sources of reflection making it possible to support and influence the evolution of contemporary practices.
