Summary:
Noted photographer Leslie Williamson’s latest book presents the homes and studios from a group of renowned artists, ranging from Barbara Hepworth to Joan Miró. Documented in her inimitable atmospheric style, the images capture how these artists lived and worked. Williamson’s images reveal not only these artists’ creative process as viewed through their studios, but also shows how they manifested their creativity in the stylish interiors and the personal touches in the spaces they called home.

Taken together, ''Still lives'' is a must-have document to inspire and illuminate for art lovers, interiors enthusiasts, and the cultured reader.

Summary:
In this publication, Victoria Newhouse addresses the aesthetics and acoustics in concert halls and opera houses of the past, present, and future. Site and Sound explores the daunting, perennial question: Does the music serve the space, or the other way around? Newhouse starts with a survey of venues from ancient Greek and Roman times and progresses to contemporary works around the world. She singles out Lincoln Center in particular for its long history and its transitions and remodelings over the years. Two major chapters cover the present: one focuses on recent work in the West, including the National Opera House of Norway in Oslo by Snohetta (2008), the Casa da Musica in Porto, Portugal, by Rem Koolhaas (2005), and many more; the second examines the boom in concert halls in China. A final chapter looks at projects that are currently planned and the future of an architecture for music.

Summary:
Portées par la numérisation de l’économie, par l’explosion des échanges de données, du Cloud et des objets connectés, les infrastructures numériques sont en passe de devenir l’un des plus importants postes de consommation électrique du XXIe siècle. Les centres de données se multiplient en conséquence, et se déclinent en une diversité formelle surprenante: des «boîtes» anonymes standardisées, des architectures manifestes dans des campus high-tech, des bâtiments transformés tels d’anciens bureaux ou centraux téléphoniques. Visibles ou discrets, parfois même cachés dans des souterrains ou des bunkers pour échapper à la menace climatique ou terroriste, les centres de données sont omniprésents, que ce soit dans les centres-villes, dans les zones périphériques ou dans les régions rurales, reculées et désertiques. Qu’ils saturent les réseaux électriques, qu’ils soient intégrés dans des cercles d’échanges de chaleur ou d’électricité de périmètres variables, ils redéfinissent à chaque fois le projet énergétique des espaces dans lesquels ils s’implantent.

Summary:
The earliest libraries belonged to temples and administrative bodies, resembled our modern archives, and were usually restricted to the aristocracy, nobility, theologians, and for the use of scholars. Dispersed along the shelves of the British Library today are many volumes that once stood side by side in private libraries. This collection of essays explores some of the most important printed collections which have been brought together within the British Museum Library since its foundation in 1753, casting new light on the individuals whose personal interests and taste they reflect. Ranging from the library of Henry VIII to Sir Joseph Banks, and from Sir Hans Sloane to George III, this volume also acts as a handbook to provenance within the British Library collections, providing guidance on the interpretation of marks of ownership, stamps, shelfmarks and other forms of evidence to be found in particular copies.
