Summary:
On doit à l’éditeur allemand Daab l’initiative de publier Japan du photographe français Pierre Faure avec une courte introduction de Franz van der Grinten. L’ouvrage est un des plus impressionnants de l’année, avec un format majeur (26 x 36,5cm) et un nombre d’images en proportion (125). La chose n’est toutefois pas étonnante puisque Pierre Faure – trop peu montré en France il est vrai (nous l’avions présenté dans "La Région humaine" au MAC de Lyon fin 2006 avec une sélection du corpus édité aujourd’hui) – est représenté par la galerie de Cologne Kudlek van der Grinten. Les visiteurs de la dernière édition de Paris Photo ont pu découvrir quelques tirages de Japan sur le stand de la galerie allemande. Aujourd’hui mieux connu outre-Rhin qu’en France, Pierre Faure affirme donc un travail qu’il est urgent de diffuser ici. Mission que remplit aujourd’hui le livre Japan.

Summary:
The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) presents a detailed selection of entries presented during its 1st Advanced Architecture Contest: Self-Sufficient Housing. Created for students and professionals to inspire changes in how new buildings are designed and constructed, the Self-Sufficient competition challenged participants to design a self-sufficient and ecologically oriented dwelling. In the early 20th century, the concept of dwelling was defined as a machine for living," a reference to a new way of understanding the construction of inhabitable spaces that characterized the Machine Age. Today, a century later, we face the challenge of constructing a sustainable or self-sufficient dwelling, a living organism that interacts with its environment, exchanging resources, and which functions as an entirely independent entity. The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) has collected a selection of entries presented during its 1st Advanced Architecture Contest: Self-Sufficient Housing.

Summary:
Widely admired for his powerful but whimsical imagery, Lance Wyman is a leading figure of contemporary graphic design. Throughout a career that spans over 50 years, Wyman has made his name by designing for museums, zoos, metro stations and the 2008 Barack Obama presidential campaign. But it was when he won a competition at age 29 to design the Mexico Olympic graphics for the 1968 games that Wyman launched his career; his work is now a cornerstone for understanding the visual culture of present-day Mexico. In lieu of the extravagance typical of Olympic designs, Wyman offered something refreshing, spacious and above all modern as he unwittingly entered a tumultuous and revolutionary moment in Mexican history. His bold image of a modern Mexico would last beyond the nation's moment in the international spotlight; Wyman stayed for another four years, designing graphic systems for the Mexico City Metro, Central de Abasto and Camino Real Hotel. This bilingual English-Spanish monograph is the very first retrospective publication on the designer's work. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at MUAC in Mexico City, the book celebrates the influence of Wyman's system of visual icons—work so iconic that we find its traces in the emojis available on iPhones today.

Summary:
Cities and landscape are inextricably linked. Without landscape there is no city and without city there is no landscape as we know it. Nowadays it is hard to hold on to the distinction between landscape and city – the whole planet has become urban. This raises new questions. How can cities defend themselves against climate change? How can you guarantee the supply of drinking water in cities with tens of millions of residents? What can be done about smog choking metropoles? Is food security possible if there is less and less fertile farmland? Rooted City investigates these questions by means of an essay and examples of thirty European cities.

Summary:
Until sometime in the 1980s, playgrounds were places for social experiments, risky projects and spectacular sculptures. Architects, urban planners, artists, parents and children were invited to leave their comfort zones and to venture something new in the design and use of playgrounds. The Playground Project explores these exemplary initiatives, pioneering acts and adventures in designing modern childhood. Examples from Europe, the US, Japan and India are discussed in depth and illustrated with numerous images. Truly a comprehensive overview, this volume includes works by artists, architects and landscape architects such as Marjory Allen, Joseph Brown, Riccardo Dalisi, Richard Dattner, Aldo van Eyck, M. Paul Friedberg, Group Ludic (Xavier de la Salle, Simon Koszel, David Roditi), Alfred Ledermann and Alfred Trachsel, Palle Nielsen, Egon Møller-Nielsen, Isamu Noguchi, Joseph Schagerl, Mitsuru Senda and Carl Theodor Sørensen. Swiss political scientist and urban planner Gabriela Burkhalter contributes an introduction, and essays by Xavier de la Salle, Sreejata Roy and Vincent Romagny investigate the stakes of the architectural and artistic experiments surveyed. The first comprehensive overview of this kind, The Playground Project addresses laymen as well as experts who want to do more on the playground than just seesaw and swing.

Summary:
Durant plusieurs décennies et avant l’avènement de l’électronique, la photographie a suscité les espoirs d’une relève du papier comme support d’accumulation et de diffusion du savoir. Dans ce mouvement d’accélération et d’automatisation de sa diffusion, la photographie a été amenée à dépasser l’opération élémentaire d’enregistrement mimétique du monde pour devenir un médium hybride englobant à la fois l’enregistrement de l’image et le traitement des données relatives à celle-ci. Son statut s’en est trouvé profondément redéfini : de surface servant de support matériel à l’image latente, la photographie est devenue interface à travers laquelle cette même image se trouve non seulement fixée, mais encore augmentée de toutes sortes de renseignements – chronologiques, géographiques, techniques – qui lui permettent de se donner à voir comme information. Revenir sur son histoire oubliée, « chaînon manquant » entre l’ère du livre et la culture numérique, s’avère essentiel pour saisir les fondements de la « société de l’information » contemporaine et des digital humanities.
