Summary:
Foresight is the eleventh in an annual series of publications that features the best young practicing architects as selected by the Architectural League of New York in their annual Young Architects competition. This year's theme, "Foresight," refers to an ability to survey, research, and engage the present toward particular, desired outcomes in the future. Our lives are inundated by forecasts about the world climate, the economy, sociopolitical trends, the housing market's rise and fall, and all kinds of bubbles bursting. Everyone has become an expert in predicting the future, just as the very idea of a better future has, for the first time in recent memory, come into question. The competition winners—Bureau E.A.S.T., Ether Ship, ex.studio, Fake Industries, Frida Escobedo Lopez, and Phu Hoang Office—present forward-thinking projects that imagine an effective role for architecture in the future.

Summary:
Cette publication nous introduit à la culture matérielle de la vie quotidienne soviétique de manière inattendue, à la fois avec des pratiques familières à l’anthropologie culturelle et avec des outils issus du champ artistique. La première partie du livre est conçue comme un essai visuel, un voyage à travers différents contextes dans lesquels les objets soviétiques apparaissent. Le lecteur est invité à découvrir certains échantillons de la culture matérielle (post)soviétique en posant l’acte délibéré de découper les pages qui les cachent sous une forme sublimée, dispersés parmi une centaine de photos de terrain prises en Roumanie, Slovaquie, Ukraine et Suisse.Dans une deuxième partie, une quinzaine d’auteurs, universitaires de différentes disciplines et traditions intellectuelles issus du monde post-soviétique et occidental, confrontent leurs points de vues sur les questions de la matérialité et de la spatialité, sur les rapports Est-Ouest, sur l’histoire de l’objet soviétique, sur le regard photographique, sur la mémoire, sur le fait de collectionner, en particulier sur la pratique muséale d’acquérir et de montrer des objets de l’autre, et mettent en évidence finalement la complémentarité entre anthropologie et art.

Summary:
Parmi les dizaines d'essences de bois de toutes provenances disponibles sur le marché, l'utilisateur, professionnel ou non, est souvent confronté à des choix difficiles lorsqu'il s'agit d'identifier ou d'acheter un bois. En outre, les nombreuses appellations commerciales, variables d'un pays à l'autre, ne facilitent pas sa tâche. Si un bois peut séduire par son aspect (couleur, grain, texture, veinage, etc.), il convient de savoir si ses caractéristiques physiques, mécaniques et technologiques le rendent effectivement apte à l'emploi auquel on le destine, et inversement de savoir quels sont les bois qui répondent aux critères d'emploi exigés. Cet ouvrage, grâce à ses multiples possibilités d'entrée, répond à ces questions et fournit les connaissances de base utiles à la mise en œuvre et aux diverses opérations de transformation du bois : séchage, usinage, collage, finition, préservation, etc
