Summary:
Tomi Ungerer, illustrator of Jeff Brown's original Flat Stanley and winner of the prestigious 1998 Hans Christian Andersen Illustrator Award, paints the man in the moon as a benevolent, soft-bodied man who curls up in "his shimmering seat in space."

Summary:
Tomi Ungerer, illustrator of Jeff Brown's original Flat Stanley and winner of the prestigious 1998 Hans Christian Andersen Illustrator Award, paints the man in the moon as a benevolent, soft-bodied man who curls up in "his shimmering seat in space." Most evenings, he looks over longingly at the happy, dancing earth people, until one night when he can't resist catching the fiery tail of a comet and hitching a ride to Earth. Ungerer, ever satirical, reports the resulting frenzy of authorities upon hearing the crash landing: "The noise brought hundreds of people from a nearby town. Soldiers sped to defend the earth. Firemen hastened to quench the flaming light. The ice cream man hurried to set up his stand for the spectators." Of course, when the crowd discovers the unidentified fallen object, "statesmen, scientists, and generals panicked." Moon Man is thrown in jail, facing criminal investigation! How will he ever return to his lunar dwelling? Kids will love this quirky "there's no place like home" tale, and Ungerer's gentle, funny mocking of "important people" won't be lost on anyone. (Ages 4 to 8)

Summary:
This book celebrates the design ingenuity made possible by digital fabrication techniques. Author Lisa Iwamoto explores the methods architects use to calibrate digital designs with physical forms. The book is organized according to five types of digital fabrication techniques: tessellating, sectioning, folding, contouring, and forming. Projects are shown both in their finished forms and in working drawings, templates, and prototypes, allowing the reader to watch the process of each fantastic construction unfold. The publication also presents projects designed and built by emerging practices that pioneer techniques and experiment with fabrication processes on a small scale with a do-it-yourself attitude. Featured architects include AEDS/Ammar Eloueini, Atelier Manferdini, Brennan Buck, MOS, Office dA, Florencia Pita/MOD, Mafoomby, URBAN A+O, SYSTEMarchitects, Andrew Kudless/Matsys, IwamotoScott, Atelier Hitoshi Abe, Chris Bosse, Tom Wiscombe/EMERGENT, Thom Faulders Architecture, Jeremy Ficca, SPAN, GNUFORM, Heather Roberge, PATTERNS, Ruy Klein, and servo.

Newlyweds on Tour is the first historical study to trace the origins and growth of the American honeymoon between 1820 and 1900. Rather than treating the honeymoon as a simple by-product of the privatization of the family, this work argues that it was formed at the interstices between (and helped to articulate) a variety of narratives—patriotic, conjugal, sentimental, and(...)

Summary:
Newlyweds on Tour is the first historical study to trace the origins and growth of the American honeymoon between 1820 and 1900. Rather than treating the honeymoon as a simple by-product of the privatization of the family, this work argues that it was formed at the interstices between (and helped to articulate) a variety of narratives—patriotic, conjugal, sentimental, and sexual that were central to the modern American national identity. To track these narratives, Penner moves between primary accounts of newlywed experiences recorded in diaries and letters in addition to entries in a wide range of textual, visual, and architectural representations matrimonial maps, engravings from the popular press, sensational novels, and palace hotel bridal chambers.

Voilà la façon dont Harvey W. Corbett président de Architectural League de New York, présente R. Buckminster Fuller ses collègues, l'été 1929.

Au fil des années, de son atelier d'inventeur nomade, sortiront des prototypes des véhicules, des toilettes portables, du mobilier, des mappemondes et ses célèbres coupoles géodésiques qui lui vaudront sa réputation internationale. Inspiré de la logique d'un album de photos, ce livre articule le récit biographique sur l'œuvre de R. Buckminster Fuller avec quelques uns de ses projets-phare qui ouvrent - par leur forme ou par leur technologie des nouvelles pistes à la réflexion architecturale.

Summary:
The model is one of the oldest means of architectural representation and comes in an extravagant variety of forms, from miniaturizations of reality mesmerizing in their exactness to wildly energetic sculptural representations. "Modeling Messages: The Architect and the Model" is a study of the contemporary model, American and international, and its myriad uses in architectural practice. Among the illustrations are inventive designs by architects Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, and Rem Koolhaas. Author Karen Moon discusses the meaning of the model for the architect, the relationship between model and building, and the impact of scale. She also explores how architects use models for presentation and the creation of a public image. In addition, she focuses on the practice of model making: the relationship between the architect and the maker; the materials and new technologies that are transforming model making.

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.
