Summary:
Since its founding in 2011, the Keller Gallery at MIT Architecture has set out to challenge the nature and limits of design discourse in an exhibition format. The gallery brings the spirit of debate, ambition, and design into the heart of the school. Each exhibition catalog compiles a combination of project images, opening photos, and commissioned texts. Together, the six compact publications touch upon the immediacy of the exhibition itself, as well as a consideration of the context and conversations that surround it. Each book in this volume has a distinct accent color used both for the saddle-stitch sewn pamphlet binding and for marginalia inside. The 2011-2012 Volume includes catalogues for: -"Lightweight Concrete" by Timothy Cooke and John E. Fernandez -"The Making of Things" by Ali Tayar -"The New Normal" Justin Lavallee and Nicholas Gelpi, Instructors, -"Walsh Street House: Robin Boyd" -"Waterworks" by Carole Starr Schein Essay contributors include: Shiben Bannerji, Andrew J. Manto, Timothy Cooke, John E. Fernandez, and Daniela Covarrubias.

Summary:
ette paraphrase du fameux Ceci n’est pas une pipe de Magritte (1928) pose la question du rapport entre un objet – en l’occurence, une bouteille –, son statut et sa représentation. Le récipient vu par le mudac et celui de la collection du MVVV semblent de natures différentes. Pourtant, les deux sont le résultat de procédures culturelles légitimes, qui leur assurent un statut à part en tant qu’objets de collection. Leurs formes communiquent aussi sur d’autres plans : matériaux (qualités de verre, bois), aspect pratique (utilité, obsolescence, détournement), usage (traces, poussières, brillance). L’ouvrage met en valeur une soixantaine de pièces rassemblées par les deux institutions.

Ce numéro thématique s'intéresse au patrimoine industriel dont la prise en compte, en France, date des années 1970-1980. A la suite des Trente Glorieuses, la désindustrialisation a entraîné la fermeture et l'abandon, de nombreux sites. Demeurent les hautes silhouettes des cheminées des immenses usines, leurs toitures en sheds, les chevalements et les terrils des paysages miniers qui, ayant modelé le territoire en leur temps, sont apparus dès lors comme un héritage à sauvegarder et à revitaliser.

Summary:
Didier Fiuza Faustino: misarchitectures brings together for the first time the entire work of Didier Faustino and his office Bureau des Mesarchitectures. Through drawings, diagrams, photographs and essays this part-monograph part-manifesto explores the ideas that drive Faustino’s architectural and artistic works: the political and ethical conditions for constructing sites and spaces within the socio-cultural layout of the city, and in particular how to critically approach the problem of the body in both private and public space. At the same time, the book revisits Faustino’s projects – from sculptures and installations, to public art, architectures and books – up to his most recent work, offering new insight into the architect’s perspective.

Summary:
According to Frédéric Migayrou, the history of Japanese architecture has seen a permanent tension between the impossible reconstruction of tradition and the unceasing assimilation of modernity. Although having one of the most active international architecture scenes since World War II, a comprehensive overview of Japanese architectural creation from the post-war years has been lacking until now. This catalogue, brimming with archive materials like sketches and models, is published with the eponymous exhibition at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, which intends to stimulate a broader appreciation for these masterful works, ensuring their preservation.

L'abstraction, dont il est l'un des instigateurs avec Kandinsky et Malévitch avant la guerre de 1914, se veut aussi porteuse de sens et porteuse d'avenir. A terme, proclame Mondrian, l'univers se réglera sur les principes du néo-plasticisme, couleurs pures, lignes droites et surfaces lisses.

Summary:
Yoko Ando envisions textiles that are one with architecture. For buildings and the spaces they create, textiles are a medium as any other. Translucent sheets change how things look, something which varies with the nature of their transparency and relationship with light.

Summary:
Yoko Ando envisions textiles that are one with architecture. For buildings and the spaces they create, textiles are a medium as any other. Translucent sheets change how things look, something which varies with the nature of their transparency and relationship with light. Textiles are, in this sense, similar to light, as both exist between people and architecture, acting as mediators – whether of the space, the materials, or the encompassing order. Ando’s textile designs thus create experiences within architecture, as part of the architecture itself. The book also includes a conversation between the designer and architect Toyo Ito.
