Summary:
En avril 1919, Walter Gropius signe le prologue du Manifeste qui ratifie la fondation du Bauhaus de Weimar, apogée du rationalisme européen et en même temps naissance du design moderne. Certes, le dessin industriel était né au XIXe siècle, mais c'est à partir du Bauhaus, extraordinaire vivier de talents et d'idées, que s'est affirmée l'idée que l'art peut faire joyeusement irruption dans la vie quotidienne, dans les gestes, dans les choses plus ou moins utiles, devenant ainsi accessible à tous. L'amélioration continue des processus de production, l'élargissement rapide et prometteur des marchés ont par la suite contribué à la diffusion du design, dont le but est de produire en grande quantité et à des prix modiques des objets, machines, meubles et autres ustensiles à la fois esthétiques et fonctionnels. Cet ouvrage offre un témoignage éclatant de cette évolution, à travers plus de 600 créations emblématiques de la Belle Epoque à nos jours.

Summary:
This publication is an up-to-the-minute survey of current global developments in contemporary sculpture and its close relative, installation. The book is presenting a cross-generational survey of contemporary artists from 27 countries. Chosen from more than 500 nominations by international critics, curators, art historians and creative writers, Vitamin 3-D’s 117 established and emerging artists were selected on the basis that they have made a significant contribution to sculpture and installation (in their broadest sense) in the last five years. Vitamin 3-D allows the reader to look at the medium in detail, to study sculpture’s unique properties in relation to itself, in relation to contemporary art and in relation to the world at large. An ongoing fascination with the key issues of modern sculpture, from the readymade to the specific object, today drives many artists to return to those issues again and again, with fresh and often surprising results.

Summary:
What is the relationship between a specific physical environment, whether architectural, urban or natural, and how the occupants use, experience, develop and maintain a space? And which different rules and decisions shape a space and its particular use? These questions are the driving force behind Atelier Bow-Wow’s delightful and thought-provoking search for the harmonious balance between forms of being (physical space) and forms of doing (how space is occupied). Designed as a scrapbook containing a wide-ranging collection of ideas aimed at starting an exploration, the publication blends observations and comments with sketches and photographs.

Summary:
East is an award winning architecture, landscape and urban design practice established in London since 1995. "We are interested in places, uses and the way they come about. By places we mean cities, spaces within them, buildings, and landscapes. Our work has come to be internationally recognised for a patient and innovative role in adjusting and improving the urban fabric and its uses. A careful understanding and documentation of places as they are found, their spatial relationships, colour, smell, materiality help our development and judgement of design." Illustrated with drawings and photographs, the 14 projects described in the book vary in many ways. Architecturally they may have little in common, but what they share is an engagement with their place, and demonstrate that our primary motivation as architects is not to design architecture, but to discover, prescribe and give shape to the need for it. With an introduction by Jonathan Sergison, the book includes essays by Kieran Long, Julian Lewis, Dann Jessen and Judith Losing. http://www.east.uk.com/
