Summary:
“Bad Places” – defines spaces of urban wasteland, of landfills but also neglected parks or harmful and unfriendly traffic and infrastructure solutions. In their exhibition in AedesLand, Latz + Partner describe their approach to dealing with these places – the necessity of which goes beyond aesthetic standards in a time where we are faced with a shortage of space and yet continually create new wastelands. “Oases” – selective interventions and special places give an answer to bad places. Primarily, this revolves around the acceptance of devastated and polluted spaces, around the qualities that even such spaces can hold and around the layers that define them and hold the potential of fascinating information. Landscape does not merely exist physically. It represents a repertoire of information which is continually interpreted and re-interpreted by the beholder. The design philosophy of Latz + Partner is rooted in the ambition of facilitating and furnishing new ideas to this process. The exhibition focuses on two key, future-oriented projects: Hiriya, Tel Aviv and Crystal Palace Park, London. These projects, both of which are currently in the planning phase, are complemented by images of built projects, such as the blast furnace park in Duisburg, the Old Harbour in Bremerhaven and the urban transformation on the Plateau de Kirchberg in Luxembourg. Public participation is of great significance in all projects and ecological principles are innate to all of the work.

Une Américaine à Paris, Gertrude Stein (1874-1946), entend nous apprendre la meilleure façon de flirter au Bon Marché... De la part de cette observatrice aussi lucide qu'acide de son temps, également inventrice du " cubisme littéraire ", on ne s'étonnera pas de recevoir une leçon tout à fait particulière ! Figure majeure des bouleversements esthétiques du XXe siècle, la femme de lettres évoque avant tout dans ce recueil d'audacieux inédits l'œuvre des artistes qu'elle accueillit en son salon de la rue de Fleurus (Satie, Apollinaire...) et celle des peintres dont elle fut l'amie et la mécène : Matisse, Juan Gris et Picasso, qui fit d'elle l'un de ses grands chefs-d'œuvre, le célèbre portrait de 1906.

Summary:
Architects Nannette Jackowski and Ricardo de Ostos have developed a unique form of experimental architecture that reinvigorates its strength as an agent of political and societal change. Ambiguous Spaces, the newest installment in the Pamphlet Architecture series and a return to Pamphlet’s own progressive roots, features the architectural fictions "The Pregnant Island" and "Nuclear Breeding." These two projects develop alternative urban concepts that address the challenges presented by the specific situations and social dynamics described in controversial locations such as the Brazilian Tucurui dam, the Three Gorges dam in China, and former English nuclear test sites.
