Summary:
Ashok Sinha is a New York-based photographer whose large scale landscape photographs picture uncommon perspectives. delegating the horizon in the bottommost third of the image, or as seen while photographing directly over the edge of a icebreaker ship or through the window of a transcontinental flight. While his interest in the beauty of the natural world endows a unique attention to the unnoticed, his commercial career as an architectural photographer informs bodies of work that focus on the built environment.

Summary:
Pendant un demi-siècle, le photographe et théoricien de l'architecture John Margolies (1940-2016) a dressé l'inventaire du bord de route américain. C'est ici que le « formalisme oublié » vernaculaire (ou parfois ses vestiges) y subliment – toujours vers l'Ouest – la légende des « grands espaces » dans l'essor conjoint du cinéma et de l'automobile.

Summary:
Pendant un demi-siècle, le photographe et théoricien de l'architecture John Margolies (1940-2016) a dressé l'inventaire du bord de route américain. C'est ici que le « formalisme oublié » vernaculaire (ou parfois ses vestiges) y subliment – toujours vers l'Ouest – la légende des « grands espaces » dans l'essor conjoint du cinéma et de l'automobile. Theaters et drive-in constituent une saga directement connectée au ruban de bitume ; mais d'autres « hangars décorés » investissent nos imaginaires. Banques à braquer, diners, stations services, bars de routiers, motels, casinos ou malls climatisés et autres paysages de road movies y projettent – de part et d'autre de l'Écran – le script d'une « autre Amérique » : celle de notre culture visuelle...

Bus stops are normally mundane structures, standardized and replaceable and therefore scarcely paid any attention. Out on the country roads of the former Soviet Union states, however, lies a treasure trove of unexpected waiting zones for those willing to make the trip - a wide-ranging panoply of socialist architecture.

Summary:
Bus stops are normally mundane structures, standardized and replaceable and therefore scarcely paid any attention. Out on the country roads of the former Soviet Union states, however, lies a treasure trove of unexpected waiting zones for those willing to make the trip - a wide-ranging panoply of socialist architecture. Photographer Peter Ortner offers up a selection of these varied bus stops in this publication. Taken both in Central Asia and in Eastern Europe, in Azerbaijan, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Georgia, Ukraine and the Crimea peninsula, Ortner’s photographs illuminate the imaginative variations on this vernacular architecture as well as the more expected works of socialist modernism.
