This comprehensive book coalesces Burkhard’s early role as a chronicler of the contemporary art of his time, especially as the main photographer for Swiss curator Harald Szeemann, his conceptual redefinition of photography together with other artists and finally his emancipation as a photo artist.

"Future Cities Laboratory" reports on the same named research program and its mission to shape sustainable future cities through science, by design, in place. It offers a global perspective on cities from the vantage point of the world's most populous and rapidly urbanizing continent: Asia, which also acts as the base of the laboratory. This volume illustrates the richness and diversity of research at the Future Cities Laboratory (FCL). The book, which is the first in a planned series, describes new processes and types of data that are being used both to understand and improve cities. New approaches pioneered by FCL and its partners offer an important method to bridge the gap between knowledge production and action, with the aim of ensuring the sustainability of future cities. To reach this goal, FCL works closely with stakeholders in government, industry and society. The program has developed many simulation tools to help practitioners visualize the social, environmental or economic consequences of particular planning decisions.

This volume documents the House of the Narkomfin, built (or “montaged,” as the Constructivist architect Moisej J. Ginzburg (1986–1946) preferred to call it) between 1928 and 1931. It is therefore contemporaneous with Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye, as well as with Le Corbusier’s visit to Moscow. But the Narkomfin is more than a housing block with a recognizable style. It is(...)

Summary:
Il est maintenant possible de contrôler la structure de la matière à des échelles de taille si petites que les systèmes obtenus révèlent des propriétés hors du commun s'apparentant de plus en plus au vivant auquel ils sont parfois même hybridés. Dans ce monde en continuelle mouvance révélé par cette matière émergente, nos repères vacillent et il nous faut repenser autrement notre appréhension du réel. Or, les images dont nous disposons pour nous saisir mentalement de ces transformations sont devenues inopérantes. Elles sont à redessiner, à mettre en relation, à assembler autrement. C'est en ces lieux que l'art contemporain peut venir jouer son rôle d'intercesseur entre la matière-forme et ses mises en pratique, entre la méta-réalité de l'oeuvre et notre capacité à penser ces nouvelles émergences. Proposer des image-matières pour nous aider à métamorphoser notre imaginaire, tel est le but de cet essai.

Summary:
Inondations, incendies, effondrements, explosions industrielles… bien des territoires sont marqués par des aléas naturels ou technologiques qui conditionnent leur développement. Ces contraintes sont aussi des ressources, témoins de l’identité des lieux. Lorsque le projet de territoire intègre l’aléa comme élément fondateur, la difficulté est souvent une chance. Penser la ville avec l’aléa conduit à être plus inventif, à proposer des espaces urbains moins génériques, mieux ancrés sur leur sol. Ceci facilite le décloisonnement des certitudes et des métiers ; la règle et le projet collaborent très en amont. Cela profite à tous. À l’exemple des fleuves, qui ont été d’abord de féconds bienfaiteurs, offrant eau, connexions et paysages aux villes qu’ils traversent, l’aléa devient un atout.

A prolific author of books on Nazi Germany who has claimed that more people died in Ted Kennedy's car at Chappaquiddick than in the gas chambers at Auschwitz, Irving responded by filing a libel lawsuit in the United Kingdom -- where the burden of proof lies on the defendant, not on the plaintiff. At stake were not only the reputations of two historians but the record of history itself.

The question about the evidence for Auschwitz as a death camp played a central role in these proceedings. In connection with their defense, Penguin and Lipstadt engaged architectural historian Robert Jan van Pelt to present evidence for our knowledge that Auschwitz had been an extermination camp where up to one million Jews were killed, mainly in gas chambers. Employing painstaking historical scholarship, van Pelt prepared and submitted an exhaustive forensic report that he successfully defended in cross-examination in court.
