Since its inception in the early 1970s, MoMA PS1 in Long Island City, Queens, has been a crucible for radical experimentation.

This publication captures the vibrancy of a long and venerable tradition that began with the legendary series of performances and events organized by founder Alanna Heiss under the Brooklyn Bridge in 1971.

Summary:
Sur ces deux objets à la mode, célébrés par tout le monde, y compris par l’industrie du tourisme globalisée, la Promenade plantée de Paris et le High Line Park de Manhattan, on aura tout entendu, sauf peut-être l’essentiel : que ces dispositifs complexes sont générés par la ville elle-même et qu’elle nous communique par là quelque chose de fondamental. C’est la raison pour laquelle nous devons prêter toute notre attention et intelligence à ce qui s’est installé au tournant du siècle à New York et à Paris, convaincus comme nous le sommes, qu’il y a avec ces plateformes – outre les thèmes de la marche et de la déambulation urbaine, de la flânerie et de la dérive, de la ruine et de la rouille, de la trame verte et du spectacle – tout un monde à découvrir. Michael Jakob est professeur de théorie et histoire du paysage à la Haute école du paysage, d'ingénierie et d'architecture (Hepia), à Genève.

Summary:
What meanings do buildings and places convey to the people who use and visit them? Too often, design competitions and signature architecture result in costly eyesores that do not work. These studies, from those specific to the Wexner Center to those of historical significance, point towards a new method for shaping the visual form of buildings, places, and cities.

Summary:
The author, Gerhard Mack, explores the architecture of each individual museum in detail, and highlights current tendencies in museum building in his seminal essay "Time Rediscovered". This is complemented by an introduction by Harald Szeemann, who as curator of the Kunsthaus in Zürich, was appointed director for Fine Arts at the Biennale in Venice this year. The museums examined in this book are Kunsthaus in Bregenz, the Museum of the Beyeler Fondation near Basel, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Getty Center in Los Angeles and the Moderna und Arkitektur Museet in Stockholm all opening within a year of one another. The Tate Gallery of Modern Art which is being built by Herzog & de Meuron in a former power station on the Thames in London is to be completed in May 1999. Conversations with the architects Frank O. Gehry, Jacques Herzog, Richard Meier, Rafael Moneo, Jean Nouvel, Renzo Piano and Peter Zumthor reveal the wide spectrum of design concerns in contemporary museum design and building. In the Pavilion at the Beyeler Fondation, the interaction of nature, light and the presentation of art is an impressive experience. Jean Nouvel perceives the museum as a public place, bringing the various areas of 'urban chaos' into contact with each other. A total of eight projects are presented.
