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.

Summary:
With increasing intensity, CAAD (Computer Aided Architectural Design) is determining the daily work of today's architectural offices. Computers allow complex designs to be visualised and altered with great speed and accuracy; three-dimensional models can be created with simulation and animation possibilities, and links to the World Wide Web provide access to a flow of information. The author develops his thesis that these aspects do not just enable the creative process to be optimised in a quantitative sense but also qualitatively. Alongside the spatial and time dimensions, the new electronic possibilities provide a fifth dimension in architecture.

Summary:
This palm-sized book presents two of the most innovative structures of the modern age (and two of the most important art museums)in one package. The book highlights the New York Guggenheim, Frank Lloyd Wright's crowning achievement, and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, recently designed to high acclaim by Frank O. Gehry. One half of the book contains 30 duotone photographs of the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. These images were taken in 1959, shortly after the building's completion, by Ezra Stoller, one of the pre-eminent architectural photographers in the world and the founder of the renowned Esto architectural photography studio. Flipping the book over reveals the other half, which consists of 34 colour images of the Bilbao Museum, taken by Jeff Goldberg, an Esto architectural photographer and winner of the 1999 Institute Honors for Collaborative Achievement from the American Institute of Architects.
