Résumé / Abstract : The review was created in 1958 by the Helsinki group of the CIAM (International congress of modern architecture). The title is borrowed from a composition by Mondrian representing a blue square. It stresses the relation between the review and contemporary art. The objective is to consider architecture as an ARTISTICAL CREATION, hence the necessity to subtract it from the short time interests while responding in the same time to essential needs of contemporary life. Since its foundation, “Le Carré bleu” has been partially or totally bilingual. From 2001, it has been trilingual (also in Italian). [...] André Shimmerlinmg has been the director of Le Carré bleu since 1958 till 2002; since 1969 with the major contribution of Philippe Fouquey, rédacteur en chef. The head office of the review was in Helsinki till 1962, transferred afterwards to Paris in 1963. An association (loi de 1901) became in charge of the edition the same year (“les Amis du Carré bleu”). Architects of international reputation were contributing to the review and many projects presented for the first time in ‘Le Carré bleu' were realised afterwards. For instance: the free university of Berlin (Georges Candilis, Alexis Josic, Shadrach Woods); campus of Urbino, Italy (Giancarlo de Carlo); linear centre of Rotterdam (Jacob B. Bakema); the City of science (Pica Ciamarra Associati). The various contributions to ‘Le Carré bleu” may be schematically grouped in three categories: emphasis on the architectural form; emphasis on the (social) function; emphasis on the constructive structure. [...] In 2001, the publication stopped with no particular reasons; in the meantime, through a number of meetings, the last of which was “Mémoire en mouvement” in Paris / Centre Pompidou (after the end of the exhibition (24.09.2005-08.01.2006) “Team 10 / 1953-81 A Utopia of the present” at the Netherlands architecture institute (Nai), Rotterdam) the new Cercle de rédaction launched a “manifesto” “Fragments / Symbiose”. [...] Le Carré bleu, a totally independent international review, born for the expression of ideas, is addressed: to the professionals of architecture, of planning and of environmental sciences, and for some thematical issues, to engineers of building structures, to landscape architects, to professionals of human sciences; to readers interested in transdisciplinary features in order to understand changes in the realm of cities and urban societies; to students, for the theoretical approaches provided by the review: in order to deal with the contexts of professional practice and international projects; in order to understand theoretical positions and some practical innovations open to debate and to analyse some subjects more in depth. The review intends to participate in the training of generations of professionals working in pluridisciplinary teams who take into account the social conditions, constraints and potentialities of their projects and works (eng)
