Summary:
We live in extremely uncertain times. Our faith in the future is increasingly?tested. Far from being a hopeful, utopian domain, the future now seems doubtful. But what does it mean to doubt today? Societal levels of anxiety are rising. Insecurity is now a generalised condition. Concern that civilisation itself is on the brink of some cataclysmic change is ubiquitous. And yet, doubting doubt – through the scientific method, imperial evidence and systemic thought – has not only created modernity, but offers the only hope to our worry.

The challenges to our species have never been more obvious, yet the required actions have never seemed more impossible. After several decades, Just-in-Time production (only making what you need, only when you need it) has become a generalised model. We now expect everything on demand, from clothing to houses, and food to friends. The unreal magic by which objects come(...)

Summary:
The challenges to our species have never been more obvious, yet the required actions have never seemed more impossible. After several decades, Just-in-Time production (only making what you need, only when you need it) has become a generalised model. We now expect everything on demand, from clothing to houses, and food to friends. The unreal magic by which objects come into being has also changed our relationship with the process of making. Increasingly, we are more interested in the how than the what, with even inferior artisanal and bespoke commanding a premium. Will we be able to redress social inequality, dampen the effects of global warming and reinvent democracy just in time?

Summary:
‘Pictures’ brings together an extensive selection of works from throughout Robert Mapplethorpe’s career. Responsible for some of the most arresting, polemical, and iconic images in contemporary photography, Mapplethorpe turned the photograph into a controlled performance between artist and subject in his quest to engage with sexuality, gender, race, and queer and non-heteronormative bodies. He treated his subjects with equal attention and precision, from cut flowers and male sex organs, to the cast of friends, lovers, and celebrities he depicted. This catalogue is published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at the Serralves Foundation.

Summary:
East is an award winning architecture, landscape and urban design practice established in London since 1995. "We are interested in places, uses and the way they come about. By places we mean cities, spaces within them, buildings, and landscapes. Our work has come to be internationally recognised for a patient and innovative role in adjusting and improving the urban fabric and its uses. A careful understanding and documentation of places as they are found, their spatial relationships, colour, smell, materiality help our development and judgement of design." Illustrated with drawings and photographs, the 14 projects described in the book vary in many ways. Architecturally they may have little in common, but what they share is an engagement with their place, and demonstrate that our primary motivation as architects is not to design architecture, but to discover, prescribe and give shape to the need for it. With an introduction by Jonathan Sergison, the book includes essays by Kieran Long, Julian Lewis, Dann Jessen and Judith Losing. http://www.east.uk.com/
