Summary:
This book celebrates the patterns and abstract forms found in nature. Bernhard Edmaier’s aerial photographs show the beautiful shapes formed on the earth’s surface by rocks, ice, sand, water, trees and plants. The hundreds of images in this book make us look at the world in a new way, by showing us surprising similarities and unexpected links between the most disparate regions of the planet. Instead of seeing a forest or a desert or a field, we see circles and lines, zigzags and spirals, abstract shapes and precise repetition occurring in the most unexpected places. In this book, Edmaier`s photographs are organized by shape and form into clearly defined sections, with tabbed pages for easy access. Each section features short texts explaining where the types of patterns depicted in that chapter are found and how they are formed. In additon, every picture has a caption describing the location of the depicted pattern, and how it was created.

Summary:
Wolfgang Laib’s concentrated installations are touching in an immediate and fundamental way, perhaps because they also address various levels of early childhood consciousness. Beeswax tunnels are redolent with an overwhelming scent of sweet honey and pollen; powdery piles of pollen are such a luminous yellow that you want to put your hands in it and play. Visitors to(...)

Summary:
Wolfgang Laib’s concentrated installations are touching in an immediate and fundamental way, perhaps because they also address various levels of early childhood consciousness. Beeswax tunnels are redolent with an overwhelming scent of sweet honey and pollen; powdery piles of pollen are such a luminous yellow that you want to put your hands in it and play. Visitors to the installations are "opened up" to the spiritual dimension, become aware of the energetic presence of the natural materials shown, and are prepared for a spiritual and intellectual encounter with their symbolic content. This retrospective monograph features all of the key categories of Laib’s oeuvre, establishing the unique position and great auratic power of works that consistently question crucial issues.

Summary:
Autodidacte, Roland Simounet s'est d'abord fait remarquer par ses réalisations sur des terrains réputés inconstructibles en Algérie, avec des budgets a priori insuffisants. Puis se sont succédées des commandes dans tous les champs d'intervention de l'architecture. Ce livre retrace (archives et documents rares à l'appui) toute l'œuvre de Roland Simounet. Rassemblant les événements les plus marquants de sa production protéiforme, il offre un regard nouveau sur l'ensemble d'un parcours exemplaire et permet de mesurer combien son œuvre résiste au temps. Que ce soit pour son travail sur les immeubles de logements sociaux comme à Saint-Denis, ou pour ses études urbaines un peu partout dans le monde, son école de danse à Marseille, ses musées, à Nemours ou à Villeneuve-d'Ascq, Roland Simounet fut résolument moderne.

Summary:
In his introductory essay to this survey of Alberto Campo Baeza's projects and finished buildings, Antonio Pizza begins by listing the influences on the Spanish architect's career since 1971, the year he graduated form the Escuela de Arquitectura de Madrid. In particular, Pizza draws attention to the importance of what Campo Baeza learned form Alejandro de la Sota, one of the most gifted of Spain's post-war architects. Campo Baeza's most characteristic architecture preserves features of de la Sota severely rational compositional style, though the influences on his work are not just Spanish but include Utzon and Ando among others.
