Summary:
It is a known fact that manmade climate change is especially prominent in alpine topography. The Austrian photographer Michael Goldgruber examines the marginal parts of glacier, snow, and rock zones with a critical eye. Goldgruber’s photographic works show sections of these landscapes that reflect a human dilemma – the longing for romantic landscape images on the one hand, and the reality of the countryside as altered by human activity on the other. Unlike classic landscape panoramas with their idealized images of nature, in Goldgruber’s works there is often no horizon, the proportions and scale remain unclear, the ice and rock formations fill the picture completely. The alpine world becomes an actor in its own right – it crumbles, melts, transforms.

OASE 109: Modernities
$54.50
(available to order)
Summary:
The history of architecture is often read in terms of periods that each have their own zeitgeist and movements that each have their own architectural language. What happens if we depart from this zeitgeist concept and use a cyclical history model instead? In the 1970s and 1980s, this question was usually considered from the seemingly mutually exclusive points of view of(...)

Summary:
The history of architecture is often read in terms of periods that each have their own zeitgeist and movements that each have their own architectural language. What happens if we depart from this zeitgeist concept and use a cyclical history model instead? In the 1970s and 1980s, this question was usually considered from the seemingly mutually exclusive points of view of the modern, the anti-modern and the postmodern positions. Over the past two decades, contemporary European architecture developed a different frame of reference, one in which the horizon is no longer provided by the architecture of the modern movement. This issue traces how, against the background of this broadening frame of reference, a different understanding of modernity emerged.

Summary:
''Odile Decq: The Wunderkammer of Odile Decq'' invites you to take a voyage and explore Odile Decq's unique and complete universe of architecture, urban planning, design and art, which celebrates the freedom of imagination and shines a light on her distinctive approach to what is conventionally defined as architecture. Perhaps nothing could set the tone for this book better than Odile Decq's own poetic words, a credo that has become evident after 40 years of architectural and design practice: "The horizon line is a constant temptation, and gives the desire of beyond, the absence of limits blurs the perception, creates ambiguity, fusion, and illusion. The consciousness of elsewhere, the perception of the space beyond."

Summary:
Contributors to issue 3 of the JoCA include the architects Francesco Venezia, Alun Jones, David Evans and Peter Youthed, novelist Tom McCarthy, artist Eva Stenram, architectural historian Nick Temple and poet Emily Hasler. 'The Necessity of Ruins, JB Jackson claimed, lies in the fact that “there has to be that interval of neglect, there has to be discontinuity; it is religiously and artistically essential... Many of us know the joy and excitement not so much as creating the new as of redeeming what has been neglected... that is how we reproduce the cosmic and correct history.” Jackson did not shy away from the wide horizon, the deep pull of time and the cosmic scale.

Summary:
Célèbre designer et architecte « de campagne », Marc Held livre ses réflexions sur un monde urbain toujours plus dense, plus étendu, plus mortifère. Un monde qui incarne les « valeurs » de notre société consumériste et destructrice, prête à tous les abus pour assurer sa survie. Refusant de voir cette évolution comme une fatalité, l’auteur trace les contours de ces villes de la bio-croissance qu’il imagine, en phase avec les modes de vie respectueux du vivant qu’une certaine jeunesse expérimente déjà. Si la dénonciation des mégapoles et de leurs effets délétères a déjà été largement faite, le regard empathique et généreux d’un professionnel du design et de l’architecture aussi créatif vient enrichir notre horizon et nous redonne envie de ville.

Summary:
Le Bauhaus fut une institution créative et pourtant irrésolue. Bien des disputes ont jalonné son histoire. S'il fut fermé d'autorité en 1933 par les nazis à peine arrivés au pouvoir, c'est sans doute parce que ce pouvoir ne pouvait supporter son principe de tension incessante. Pareil événement n'est pas seulement de circonstance. Il relève de possibilités qui n'ont pas(...)

Summary:
Le Bauhaus fut une institution créative et pourtant irrésolue. Bien des disputes ont jalonné son histoire. S'il fut fermé d'autorité en 1933 par les nazis à peine arrivés au pouvoir, c'est sans doute parce que ce pouvoir ne pouvait supporter son principe de tension incessante. Pareil événement n'est pas seulement de circonstance. Il relève de possibilités qui n'ont pas nécessairement disparu de notre horizon. Que le politique ait pu se déchaîner et que dans ce déchaînement même il n'ait pas admis que soient discutées des questions qui, le plus souvent sous une allure artistique, touchaient en définitive aux valeurs, portées et méthodes du faire ou du produire en général, voilà sur quoi il faut encore réfléchir.
