Summary:
The Architecture Annual offers a selection of articles on the school's progress in research and education. Embracing a broad range of topical issues, it includes a cross-section of research performed by Faculty members and coverage of the graduation projects carried out by students in the academic year 2001-2002. This year, design research has been the main focus of activity. In addition, extensive attention has been devoted to new developments in the field of building technology, computer use, and management. The current discourse on planning issues, the network society, problems of integration, increasing individualisation, and the rise of ICT does much to define the research themes treated within its pages.

Summary:
The new permanent display of Architekturzentrum Wien’s (Az W) collection is a milestone in the presentation of architecture and its social dimensions. ''Hot questions—cold storage'' is published alongside this comprehensive exhibition on Austrian architecture of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, featuring color images of all exhibits, concise texts, and thematic essays. This book reexamines the country’s architectural culture of the last 150 years, situating it in its cultural, social, and political contexts. Each chapter is prefaced by a question, asking, for example, about the impact of capitalism on our cities and villages or about the contribution architecture can make to our survival on the planet. These ''Hot questions'' bring to life the ''Cold storage''—the silent repository of the collection’s holdings. This book offers a multi-perspective narrative that presents Austria’s building history with all the developments, ideologies, and institutions it comprises. The social relevance of objects and documents is revealed through questioning and visualization, in connecting research and the museum’s mission to collect.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then it's a good bet that at least half of those words relate to the picture's copyright status. Art historians, artists, and anyone who wants to use the images of others will find themselves awash in byzantine legal terms, constantly evolving copyright law, varying interpretations by museums and estates, and despair over the(...)

Summary:
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then it's a good bet that at least half of those words relate to the picture's copyright status. Art historians, artists, and anyone who wants to use the images of others will find themselves awash in byzantine legal terms, constantly evolving copyright law, varying interpretations by museums and estates, and despair over the complexity of the whole situation. Here, Susan Bielstein offers her decades of experience as an editor working with illustrated books. In doing so, she unsnarls the threads of permissions that have ensnared scholars, critics, and artists for years. Organized as a series of “takes” that range from short sidebars to extended discussions, "Permissions, a survival guide" explores intellectual property law as it pertains to visual imagery. How can you determine whether an artwork is copyrighted? How do you procure a high-quality reproduction of an image? What does “fair use” really mean? Is it ever legitimate to use the work of an artist without permission? Bielstein discusses the many uncertainties that plague writers who work with images in this highly visual age, and she does so based on her years navigating precisely these issues. As an editor who has hired a photographer to shoot an incredibly obscure work in the Italian mountains (a plan that backfired hilariously), who has tried to reason with artists' estates in languages she doesn't speak, and who has spent her time in the archival trenches, she offers a snappy and humane guide to this difficult terrain.

Summary:
Harald Szeemann (1933-2005) was one of the most influential curators of the recent past. An entire generation of curators has been inspired by his independent way of creating exhibitions and his emphatic method of presenting contemporary art. In retrospect, Szeemann's infallible interest in artistic loners with strong attitudes and powerful personalities seems like a vehement contradiction of the kind of art market that focuses on trends and movements. This volume describes the "Szeemann principle," the visions of an enlightened artistic curator, and provides an overview of the most important stations of his singular curatorial career: the legendary exhibitions "When Attitudes Become Form" and documenta 5, the great thematic explorations such as "Bachelor Machines" and "Der Hang zum Gesamtkunstwerk," his discovery of the young Eastern European scenes, and the Biennials in Venice, Lyon, and Seville.

Summary:
Les musées sont devenus en une génération l’une des institutions culturelles les mieux considérées et les plus fréquentées à travers le monde. La préoccupation des publics, désormais centrale, illustre une politique de développement culturel tandis que la multiplication des collections nourrit une redéfinition des patrimoines. L’organisation des établissements, davantage professionnelle, répond à des exigences politiques et sociales, mais aussi à des contraintes éthiques et communicationnelles inédites ; en particulier, les impératifs de la médiation et de l’exposition entraînent l’apparition de nouveaux métiers. L’analyse de l’institution s’inscrit au croisement de l’anthropologie de la culture, de la sociologie du travail ou des organisations, et de l’histoire des objets.
