Summary:
In the post-war decades, Hong Kong architects, many of them having migrated from Mainland China or studied overseas, embraced modern principles when forced to face the problems of housing shortage, mass construction and limited budgets. Although economic efficiencies often prevailed over design, their buildings were rooted in their time and place, reflecting the local(...)

Summary:
In the post-war decades, Hong Kong architects, many of them having migrated from Mainland China or studied overseas, embraced modern principles when forced to face the problems of housing shortage, mass construction and limited budgets. Although economic efficiencies often prevailed over design, their buildings were rooted in their time and place, reflecting the local climate, social values, materials, technique and use in an often unique and pragmatic fashion. With more than 300 buildings and ensembles documented, the new publication ''Hong Kong modern architecture of the 1950s-1970s'' by Walter Koditek gives a comprehensive overview on the architecture of that transformative period in combining full-page photographs with detailed background information and further b/w images explaining and illustrating the design and history of these buildings.

Avec cet ouvrage, Philippe Bazin nous livre son point de vue d’artiste sur le travail d’un photographe mondialement célébré. Invitant sans arrêt l’irréel au sein du banal, Jeff Wall est passé maître dans l’art de l’étrangeté familière. Bazin propose ici un panorama de son œuvre qu’il balaye généreusement, depuis les tous premiers travaux de la fin des années 1970 jusqu’à l’aube des années 2000. Il éclaire ainsi une trentaine de photographies, reproduites en grand format, en les confrontant à l’idéal baudelairien du «peintre de la vie moderne», qui irrigue la pratique et la réflexion de l’artiste canadien depuis ses débuts. Ce livre présente l’avantage de s’offrir comme une conversation fluide, un dialogue intellectuel et sensible entre deux photographes à l’affût du « antastique réel extrait de la vie», que Baudelaire avait entrevu.

Published to accompany the most comprehensive presentation of the artist’s work to date, and his first solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, this richly illustrated catalog highlights Ruscha’s most acclaimed works alongside lesser-known aspects of his practice. Essays by an interdisciplinary group of contributors examine Ruscha’s work under a new light, beyond the categories of Pop and Conceptual art with which he has traditionally been associated, to present fresh perspectives on one of the most influential figures in postwar American art. Taken together, they underscore Ruscha’s singular contributions, including his material exploration of language, experiments with unconventional mediums--nsuch as gunpowder, chocolate or chewing tobacco-- and his groundbreaking self-published books. Supplemented by an illustrated chronology and exhibition history, this publication captures the ceaseless reinvention that has defined his prolific, six-decade career.

Smooth city: Against urban perfection, towards collective alternatives

Summary:
In the foreword of ''Smooth City'', René Boer writes about changes shaping the city center of Amsterdam nowadays: how the streets once known for their roughness, are now characterized by homogenous aesthetics, minimalist shopping windows and shiny Uber taxis. These are typical characteristics of the "smooth city": a city in which the urge for "perfection," efficiency and control is constantly increasing. It is a kind of city which is sterile, clean and layered with new technologies, which makes urban life seemingly "perfect" and frictionless. It can be questioned, however, whether there is still place for divergence from norms, forms of friction or any alternative in the smooth city? René Boer argues in Smooth City that this new version of urbanity undermines the democratic nature and the emancipatory potential of cities, and hardly leaves any space for experiment, non-normativity and transgression. ''Smooth City'' offers a critical analysis of the origins, characteristics and consequences of the smooth city and brings some very welcome reflections on the urban reality we are currently living in.

Summary:
This collection of new work by celebrated photographer Takashi Homma approaches one of the most iconic and widely represented images in Japan and the world: Mount Fuji. With its title referencing Hokusai’s famous series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints, Homma evokes his country’s traditions of representation and depiction while offering a haunting new encounter with his subject. Using pinhole cameras as well as digital technology, Homma forms ghostly images of the mountain as it resides to the southwest of Tokyo in collaged views that place it ambiguously in the wider landscape – both invoking and subverting the spectacle it has come to be associated with. With this new book, Homma writes a subtle and essential new chapter in the history of Japanese visual culture.

Dans "L'architecture au féminin", Annmarie Adams et Peta Tancred dressent un portrait de l'ensemble des architectes canadiennes, depuis leur entrée dans la profession durant les années 1920 jusqu'aux années 1990. Elles soulignent le parcours de plusieurs de ces femmes architectes, en illustrant comment certaines mettent en question les pratiques traditionnelles tandis que d'autres cherchent à élargir le domaine de l'architecture. En s'appuyant sur des documents originaux, incluant des données inédites, des dessins d'architectes, des projets réalisés et des entrevues, les auteures réfutent les idées reçues au sujet du rôle marginal dévolu aux femmes architectes. Elles révèlent comment plusieurs d'entre elles, notamment les Québécoises durant les années 1960, ont participé à la réalisation de projets d'envergure. Elles montrent enfin que, si la profession a souvent cherché à contenir l'apport des femmes architectes dans des limites étroites, celles-ci ont joué un rôle de premier plan dans le développement de l'architecture et continuent encore aujourd'hui de repousser les frontières de la profession.

Summary:
Built around snatches of discussion overheard in a Beijing design studio, this book explores attitudes toward architecture in China since the opening of the Treaty Ports in the 1840s. Central to the discussion are the concepts of ti and yong, or “essence” and “form,” Chinese characters that are used to define the proper arrangement of what should be considered modern and essentially Chinese. Ti and yong have gone through various transformations--for example, from “Chinese learning for essential principles and Western learning for practical application” to “socialist essence and cultural form” and an almost complete reversal to “modern essence and Chinese form.” The book opens with a discussion of cultural developments in China in response to the forced opening to the West in the mid-nineteenth century, efforts to reform the Qing dynasty, and the Nationalist and Communist regimes. It then considers the return of overseas-educated Chinese architects and foreign influences on Chinese architecture, four architectural orientations toward tradition and modernity in the 1920s and 1930s, and the controversy over the use of “big roofs” and other sinicizing aspects of Chinese architecture in the 1950s. The book then moves to the hard economic conditions of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, when architecture was almost abandoned, and the beginning of reform and opening up to the outside world in the late 1970s and 1980s. Finally, it looks at the present socialist market economy and Chinese architecture during the still incomplete process of modernization. It closes with a prognosis for the future.

Summary:
La médiocrité esthétique et le fonctionnalisme primaire de la reconstruction post 1945 sécrète une crise durable qui affecte l’architecture et l’urbanisme dans l’ensemble du monde occidental. A la "Cité radieuse" des années 1930 succède, au milieu du siècle, une nouvelle utopie la "Mégastructure". Hybride colossal traversant des territoires sans frontières, elle règle du même élan, et l’architecture, et l’urbanisme, et les infrastructures. Mais l’engouement pour ces grandes machines sensées résoudre les problèmes à l’échelle planétaire s’émousse durant les sixties. La "Mégastructure" cède le pas à l’"Architecture radicale", ce faisant on assiste au basculement d’une approche de l’architecture dont les références sont le besoin et la construction à une autre dont les références sont l’immédiateté et la consommation, les objets mobiles et le plaisir du corps. Cette transformation correspond au passage d’une architecture conçue en terme de progrès social et de bonheur humain, à une architecture de la révélation du monde existant. Première monographie exhaustive sur la période, Superarchitecture est abondamment illustrée à l’aide d’une iconographie originale issue des archives des Smithson, d’Hollein, de Fuller, Friedman, Archigram, Price, Archizoom, Superstudio, etc. De l’utopie critique qui se dégage des projets de ces acteurs et de la puissance évocatrice de leurs dessins, les architectes contemporains comme Koolhaas, Tschumi ou MRDV se sont fortement inspirés pour construire leur univers conceptuel.

Summary:
Although highly regarded during his short life--and honored by artists and architects today--the American artist Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-78) has been largely ignored within the history of art. Matta-Clark is best remembered for site-specific projects known as "building cuts." Sculptural transformations of architecture produced through direct cuts into buildings scheduled for demolition, these works now exist only as sculptural fragments, photographs, and film and video documentations. Matta-Clark is also remembered as a catalytic force in the creation of SoHo in the early 1970s. Through loft activities, site projects at the exhibition space 112 Greene Street, and his work at the restaurant Food, he participated in the production of a new social and artistic space. In this first critical account of Matta-Clark's work, Lee considers it in the context of the art of the 1970s--particularly site-specific, conceptual, and minimalist practices--and its confrontation with issues of community, property, the alienation of urban space, the "right to the city," and the ideologies of progress that have defined modern building programs.
