The book comprises 20 photography portfolios by a diverse, international and intergenerational group of artists as well as 21 essays about films made during and about the night. Together, the films, photo portfolios and essays gathered in the volume testify to the fact that there is no single night; for each person, place or group, night’s threshold, its liminal edge, is ever-changing.

Summary:
This volume gathers an exceptional selection of decorative folding screens, exploring the history and semantics of the form by tracing trajectories of cross-pollination between East and West. At their core, folding screens embody liminality and the idea of sitting at the threshold of two conditions, both literally and metaphorically. They cross barriers between different(...)

Summary:
This volume gathers an exceptional selection of decorative folding screens, exploring the history and semantics of the form by tracing trajectories of cross-pollination between East and West. At their core, folding screens embody liminality and the idea of sitting at the threshold of two conditions, both literally and metaphorically. They cross barriers between different spaces, disciplines, cultures and worlds. Taking that notion as a starting place, this volume follows processes of hybridization between different art forms and functions, collaborative relationships between designers and artists, and the emergence of newly created works. This gorgeous catalog features more than 70 examples of folding screens, including valuable historical objects and more recent works from international museums and private collections, plus a selection of new creations commissioned from more than 15 international artists specifically for this project.

Summary:
French designer and self-taught architect Jean Prouvé applied manufacturing techniques to the world of art and design, while also maintaining a social consciousness that informed his commissions. His commitment to “logic, balance and purity” led him to create standardized, affordable furniture and portable, packable houses: most notably the Maison Tropicale for use in France’s African colonies. Despite the overtly industrial aspects of his oeuvre, Prouvé’s work is admired and collected the world over for its graceful yet utilitarian simplicity. Constructive Imagination unites over 100 pieces of Prouve’s emblematic furniture and architectural works, bolstered by sketches and other archival material. The glossy bilingual volume includes five unpublished essays on Prouvé, including one by former Museum of Modern Art, New York curator Juliet Kinchin.

Produit de mécanismes économiques et d’un faisceau de décisions locales et individuelles, le logement porte la marque des tensions et contradictions sociales. Quels besoins ? Dans quels territoires ? Comment y répondre ? Que proposent les aménageurs et acteurs de la fabrique urbaine pour produire des logements à l’heure de l’urgence climatique ? Le respect de la biosphère, l’attention portée aux évolutions sociodémographiques en cours et la considération due à la matrice urbaine historique nous conduisent à réparer plutôt qu’à étendre nos villes. « Réparer et Construire, » parce que le « déjà là » est considérable et constitue un gisement à exploiter pour offrir des logements. Mais il est souvent déprécié et inadapté. Sa transformation doit donc mobiliser toute la chaîne d’actions depuis la requalification du bâti et de son cadre urbain, la transformation et le recyclage de certains bâtiments, la démolition et la reconstruction, jusqu’à la construction neuve dans le respect du ZAN (zéro artificialisation nette).

Summary:
Sediment is an unseen infrastructure that shapes and enables modern life. Silt is scooped from sea floors to deepen underwater highways for container ships. It is diverted from river basins to control flooding. It is collected, sorted, managed, and moved to reshape deltas, marshes, and beaches. Anthropogenic action now moves more sediment annually than "natural" geologic(...)

It is diverted from river basins to control flooding. It is collected, sorted, managed, and moved to reshape deltas, marshes, and beaches. Anthropogenic action now moves more sediment annually than "natural" geologic processes — yet this global reshaping of the earth’s surface is rarely-discussed and poorly-understood.
