Il s'agit d'un container à l'intérieur duquel a été construit un labyrinthe fait de portes et de cloisons en bois récupérées. Véritable manifeste esthétique, cette construction de fortune cristallise bien des prises de position assumées par son créateur, tant dans ses relations avec la sculpture que dans ses rapports critiques à l'architecture. Elle est ici étudiée pour la première fois par trois auteur-e-s, Sophie Costes, Thierry Davila et Lydia Yee, qui en restituent toute la richesse et la complexité. Une façon de réaffirmer l'importance de la figure de Gordon Matta-Clark pour l'art des XXe et XXIe siècles.

And how did they live in the country house they dubbed "Villa les Heures Claires"? Their grandson Jean-Marc Savoye tells the story of the villa and its residents using rare documents and family memories. In his pictures, illustrator Jean-Philippe Delhomme, long fascinated by the building, brings to life the construction site, everyday life, the war period, its use as a barn, and its rescue from demolition. In 1965, Le Corbusier lived to see Villa Savoye declared a monument; in 2016 it earned a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage list and now welcomes 40,000 visitors each year.

Summary:
Il n’est pas courant de considérer sa résidence d’abord et avant tout comme une marchandise intrinsèquement liée à l’économie capitaliste. Pourtant, ce chez-soi dont on a tant rêvé, et auquel on a finalement accès, a été construit puis mis en vente ou en location par des entreprises capitalistes, sur un marché qui s’adresse à des consommateurs dont le pouvoir d’achat provient lui-même d’un autre marché, celui du travail. Et, comme l’a démontré la crise de 2008, le marché de l’immobilier peut subir des bouleversements considérables, affectant de manière drastique l’économie et la société dans son ensemble. Dans cet ouvrage, Louis Gaudreau entreprend d’illustrer le caractère évolutif de la relation entre capitalisme et logement, en retraçant l’histoire de ses trois principaux protagonistes : le promoteur, la banque et le rentier. Car même si le marché de l’habitation fait depuis longtemps partie intégrante du capitalisme, il n’est plus le même qu’au xixe siècle ou qu’il y a trente ans. Il s’appuie désormais sur des logiques financiarisées qui en modifient le fonctionnement. Cette tendance impose de nouvelles conditions au développement du logement et à ses usages, qui révèlent à leur tour la façon dont se pose aujourd’hui la question du droit au logement.

Summary:
''Ulaanbaatar: beyond water and grass'' is the first book in the English language that takes the visitors to an in-depth exploration of the capital of Mongolia. In the first section of the book, M. A. Aldrich paints a detailed portrait of the history, religion, and architecture of Ulaanbaatar with reference to how the city evolved from a monastic settlement to a communist-inspired capital and finally to a major city of free-wheeling capitalism and Tammany Hall politics. The second section of the book offers the reader a tour of different sites within the city and beyond, bringing back to life the human dramas that have played themselves out on the stage of Ulaanbaatar. Where most guide books often lightly discuss the capital, this book reveals much that remains hidden from the temporary visitor and even from the long-term resident. Writing in a quirky, idiosyncratic style, the author shares his appreciation and delight in this unique urban setting- indeed, in all things Mongolian.

Summary:
This book bridges design theory and anthropology to offer a new and challenging way of understanding the changing meanings of contemporary human-object relations. The act of consumption is only the starting point of object's 'lives'. Thereafter they are transformed and invested with new meanings and associations that reflect and assert who we are. Defining designed things as 'things with attitude' differentiates the highly visible fashionable object from ordinary aretefacts that are too easily taken for granted. Through case studies ranging from reproduction furniture to fashion and textiles to 'clutter', the author traces the connection between objects and authenticity, ephemerality and self-identity. Beyond this, she shows the materiality of the everyday in terms of space, time and the body and suggests a transition with the passing of time from embodiment to disembodiment.

To discover how Homer could have composed works as brilliant and as long as The Iliad and The Odyssey without ever putting pen to paper. The answer, they believe, can be found only in Albania, the last remaining habitat of the oral epic. But immediately upon their arrival, the scholars’ seemingly arcane research excites suspicion and puts them at the center of ethnic strife in the Balkans. Mistaken for foreign spies, they are placed under surveillance and are dogged by gossip and intrigue. It isn’t until a fierce-eyed monk from the Serbian side of the mountains makes his appearance that the scholars glimpse the full political import of their search for the key to the Homeric question.

Summary:
Contemporary artist Roni Horn first visited Iceland in 1975 at the age of nineteen, and since then, the island’s treeless expanse has had an enduring hold on Horn’s creative work. Through a series of remarkable and poetic reflections, vignettes, episodes, and illustrated essays, ''Island zombie'' distills the artist’s lifelong experience of Iceland’s natural environment. Together, these pieces offer an unforgettable exploration of the indefinable and inescapable force of remote, elemental places, and provide a sustained look at how an island and its atmosphere can take possession of the innermost self. ''Island zombie'' is a meditation on being present. It vividly conveys Horn’s experiences, from the deeply profound to the joyful and absurd. Through powerful evocations of the changing weather and other natural phenomena- the violence of the wind, the often aggressive birds, the imposing influence of glaciers, and the ubiquitous presence of water in all its variety- we come to understand the author’s abiding need for Iceland, a place uniquely essential to Horn’s creative and spiritual life. The dramatic surroundings provoke examinations of self-sufficiency and isolation, and these ruminations summon a range of cultural companions, including El Greco, Emily Dickinson, Judy Garland, Wallace Stevens, Edgar Allan Poe, William Morris, and Rachel Carson. While brilliantly portraying nature’s sublime energy, Horn also confronts issues of consumption, destruction, and loss, as the industrial and man-made encroach on Icelandic wilderness.
