Summary:
Il n'est pas anodin que Marcel Duchamp ait figuré au sommaire du premier numéro d'artpress paru en décembre 1972 : sans lui, pas d'art contemporain, cet art apparemment sans règles ni limites apparu dans les années 1960-1970 et qu'artpress accompagne.. Ce volume revient sur la vie et l'oeuvre de Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968), scrute la notion de ready-made, ne néglige pas sa pratique de la peinture qu'il a pourtant abandonnée très tôt et souligne son apport qui semble aussi inépuisable qu'il fait débat. Il montre l'effet produit par Duchamp sur les générations ultérieures, engageant certains à reproduire son Grand Verre pour tenter d'en percer les mystères et d'autres à rendre à sa célèbre Fontaine sa fonction originelle.... Composé d'articles de fond, d'études monographiques et d'interviews publiés dans artpress, ce volume confronte les points de vue, donnant la parole aux défenseurs de l'inventeur du ready-made comme à ceux qui critiquent la « fétichisation » de Duchamp..

Summary:
The history of climate change and the history of architecture are connected in many ways. Through a multilayered chronology, "It’s About Time" showcases historical and contemporary building projects such as solar houses, autonomous structures and earth buildings, alongside more than 45 key moments in environmental justice history: among them the first Earth Day, the United Nations conference in Stockholm, the Chernobyl disaster, the Paris Climate Agreements and the European Green Deal. It explores architectural experimentation in the past, depicts the present moment of transition and offers hopeful glimpses of the future. Serving as both a reference and a source of inspiration, this publication is intended for architects, educators, students, scientists or anyone looking to play their part in shaping a more sustainable world. It emphasizes that while the time for change has now arrived, the field of architecture can play a key role in the transitions ahead.

Summary:
This highly anticipated new volume in the Review series documents some two hundred largely unpublished buildings in Tashkent, Genoa, Tbilisi, and Casablanca. These cities experienced rapid development during the twentieth century, each offering its unique response to Modernism. Rather than merely providing a historical survey, this book uncovers the underlying logic of these cities’ urban fabric through an examination of their prevalent built heritage. Over four years, architects Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein, together with teaching staff and students of architecture and design at ETH Zurich’s Department of Architecture, analyzed the featured structures to offer a wide-ranging array of original typological solutions for contemporary architecture and urban design.

Summary:
Featuring almost a hundred years of dispatches from the Alps, ''Vintage Alpine Postcards'' celebrates Europe’s great mountain range. It takes us from men in bowler hats with stout ropes nonchalantly crawling over crevasses, through the gilded age of grand hotels and sleigh rides, to the modernist concrete infrastructure of mountaintop restaurants and cable-car stations. These postcards frame the changing way we’ve experienced landscape and leisure over more than a hundred years – from the intrepid to the banal, sublime to ridiculous and brutalist to kitsch. And postcards travel through time as well as space, and they arrive with messages from our former selves. Underlying the Alpenkitsch is a serious exposé of our relationship to nature and how we have carelessly misused the beauties of the natural world.
