Summary:
The sites and stories of this publication shift our perception of what defines New York, placing the passion, determination, defeats, and victories of its people at the core. Delving into the histories of New York's five boroughs, you will encounter enslaved Africans in revolt, women marching for equality, workers on strike, musicians and performers claiming streets for their art, and neighbors organizing against landfills and industrial toxins and in support of affordable housing and public schools. The streetscapes that emerge from these groups' struggles bear the traces, and this book shows you where to look to find them. This book expands the scope and scale of traditional guidebooks, providing an equitable exploration of the diverse communities throughout the city. Through the stories of over 150 sites across the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island as well as thematic tours and contemporary and archival photographs, a people’s New York emerges, one in which collective struggles for justice and freedom have shaped the very landscape of the city.

Summary:
In 1966, Sol LeWitt (1928–2007) conceived a new type of work that he described as “drawings without drawing,” in which he replaced the act of drawing itself by using various ways of folding paper. In 1969, he started to regularly produce what he called Folds, first as gifts to friends, then as works to be distributed by his dealers. In 1971 he added the Rips, drawings(...)

Summary:
In 1966, Sol LeWitt (1928–2007) conceived a new type of work that he described as “drawings without drawing,” in which he replaced the act of drawing itself by using various ways of folding paper. In 1969, he started to regularly produce what he called Folds, first as gifts to friends, then as works to be distributed by his dealers. In 1971 he added the Rips, drawings made of ripped paper. LeWitt developed this extended approach to drawing from ripping papers of various sizes and colors to working with city maps and aerial photos of Florence, Manhattan and Chicago from which he removed various areas. This systematic approach, on which so much of LeWitt’s work is famously based, was also applied to the Folds and the Rips, and so they tended to be created in series. The book presents these works for the first time, along with a historical essay by Dieter Schwarz and full-color reproductions of the Folds and the Rips.

Summary:
Since the time of ancient Rome, architects, engineers, and builders have struggled with the problem of building domed ceilings over large spaces. No one was more skilled at this than the Rafael Guastavino family, a father and son team of Spanish immigrants who oversaw the construction of thousands of spectacular thin-tile vaults across the United States between the 1880s and the 1950s. These versatile, strong, and fireproof vaults were built by Guastavino in more than two hundred major buildings in Manhattan, and in hundreds more across the country, including Grand Central Terminal, Carnegie Hall, and many major university buildings. Because the Guastavinos served only as contractors on these projects, their firm's accomplishments have remained relatively unknown to the public. Guastavino Vaulting traces the development of the remarkable construction technology from its Mediterranean roots to its highest achievements in the United States. This long overdue first monograph features archival images, drawings, and beautiful new color photography showcasing the most incredible Guastavino vaulted spaces.

Summary:
Since TEN Arquitectos was first published in 1998, the firm founded by Enrique Norten has soared to a position of international renown. In addition to important competition-winning proposals--the Visual and Performing Arts Library in Brooklyn and the Guggenheim Guadalajara, among others--Norten and his firm have a rich variety of projects on the drawings boards: Harlem Park, a thirty-four-story mixed-use project in Upper Manhattan; a renovation of Mexico City's Chopo Museum, the gallery of the national university; the Busan Cinema Complex in Korea; the National Laboratory of Genomics for Biodiversity in Guanajuato; and hotels and residential buildings in New York, West Hollywood, and Prague. Conceived to represent the current state of the practice, Working shows twenty unbuilt and in-progress projects with an emphasis on the design process. Sketches give way to study models and then to polished renderings; at each stage in the development of a design, numerous iterations show various directions and investigations. The collection of projects is a timely record of the works by this notable firm.

Florence imitant Manhattan, curieuse allégation de Claude Lévi-Strauss ! Et si cette intuition était à prendre sérieusement ? Tout simplement, elle décrit un seul et même cycle, tandis qu'une même granulométrie lie les édifices. Bref, des villes où les mille différences comptent infiniment moins que dans nos villes modernes devenues imprécises, chahutées et pour certaines insaisissables. Et pourtant, chacune d'elles - au XXe siècle comme auparavant - poursuit une idée, mais ne la laissant s'installer qu'au filtre d'une réalité parfois cruelle et qui se traduit toujours en dessins puis tracés. Comprendre le passage à cette différence radicale, en remonter les fils, c'est un peu l'histoire de ce livre. Pour saisir toutes les étapes de cette longue et inexorable évolution, l'auteur remonte jusqu'à la Renaissance et son berceau, l'Italie, pour traquer les mutations successives qui vont produire un tel chamboulement et faire de ces villes des métropoles. Le récit, de nature épique et au rythme enlevé, est accompagné de nombreuses reproductions de dessins de Léonard de Vinci, Perruzi, Piranèse, Boullée, Ruskin, Koolhaas, Portzamparc, Archigram et quelques rares photos prises par Coburn et Gursky.

Summary:
The story of New York’s west side no longer stars the Sharks and the Jets. Instead it’s a story of urban transformation, cultural shifts, and an expanding contemporary art scene. The Chelsea Gallery District has become New York’s most dominant neighborhood for contemporary art, and the streets of the west side are filled with gallery owners, art collectors, and tourists. Developments like the High Line, historical preservation projects like the Gansevoort Market, the Chelsea galleries, and plans for megaprojects like the Hudson Yards Development have redefined what is now being called the “Far West Side” of Manhattan. David Halle and Elisabeth Tiso offer a deep analysis of the transforming district in New York’s New Edge, and the result is a new understanding of how we perceive and interpret culture and the city in New York’s gallery district. From individual interviews with gallery owners to the behind-the-scenes politics of preservation initiatives and megaprojects, the book provides an in-depth account of the developments, obstacles, successes, and failures of the area and the factors that have contributed to them.

Summary:
Fille d'aristocrates, Madeleine de Sinéty trouve son émancipation dans la photographie, qui la mène à la rencontre des ailleurs et des autres. À partir des années 1970, elle documente d'un œil sensible les mutations des quartiers de la gare Montparnasse à Paris et de Manhattan à New York, tandis qu'elle réalise un reportage sur les derniers trains à vapeurs, grâce aux liens noués avec des cheminots. La proximité avec ses sujets devient dès lors sa signature. Les milliers d'images de Poilley (1972-1991), son leg majeur, résultent d'une immersion dans le mode de vie de ce village breton, où les paysans joignent encore leur force de travail à celle des bêtes. L'artiste partage le quotidien des familles, aidant aux travaux des champs, son appareil photo au cou. Ses clichés en noir et blanc de Rangeley, dans le Maine, où elle s'installe en 1985, disent encore l'humanité et la tendresse de son regard singulier. À travers 60 images pour nombreuses inédites, cet album offre une plongée dans l'œuvre de la photographe, à laquelle s'entremêle son étonnant parcours de vie.

Fille d'aristocrates, Madeleine de Sinéty trouve son émancipation dans la photographie, qui la mène à la rencontre des ailleurs et des autres. À partir des années 1970, elle documente d'un œil sensible les mutations des quartiers de la gare Montparnasse à Paris et de Manhattan à New York, tandis qu'elle réalise un reportage sur les derniers trains à vapeurs, grâce aux liens noués avec des cheminots. La proximité avec ses sujets devient dès lors sa signature. Les milliers d'images de Poilley (1972-1991), son leg majeur, résultent d'une immersion dans le mode de vie de ce village breton, où les paysans joignent encore leur force de travail à celle des bêtes. L'artiste partage le quotidien des familles, aidant aux travaux des champs, son appareil photo au cou. Ses clichés en noir et blanc de Rangeley, dans le Maine, où elle s'installe en 1985, disent encore l'humanité et la tendresse de son regard singulier. À travers 60 images pour nombreuses inédites, cet album offre une plongée dans l'œuvre de la photographe, à laquelle s'entremêle son étonnant parcours de vie.
