Summary:
With geometric patterns resembling Arabian ornamentation, the dome over the Louvre in Abu Dhabi conjures many associations, but the idea of a complex space-frame structure is certainly not the first that comes to mind. Parametric 3D models were used in the development of the prefabricated elements, which were bolted and welded together on site in the desert. Steel(...)

Summary:
With geometric patterns resembling Arabian ornamentation, the dome over the Louvre in Abu Dhabi conjures many associations, but the idea of a complex space-frame structure is certainly not the first that comes to mind. Parametric 3D models were used in the development of the prefabricated elements, which were bolted and welded together on site in the desert. Steel structures of this kind are an essential part of the supreme discipline of architecture, and the April edition of “Detail” documents various examples of the great scope afforded by steel in building, its aesthetic and constructional advantages and the details implicit to it.

Summary:
This catalogue was published on the occasion of the exhibition Buckminster Fuller: Starting with the Universe, organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, in association with the Department of Special Collections of the Stanford University Libraries. It explores Fuller’s extraordinary body of work, focusing on his wide-ranging and sometimes controversial role within the worlds of art, architecture, and utopian thought. Reproductions of original drawings and models-including those for Fuller’s 4D house, Wichita House, the Montreal Expo dome, and the sole extant Dymaxion car-plus a reprinted 1966 New Yorker profile on Fuller by Calvin Tomkins, complete the fascinating tribute.

Summary:
The post-war years were a very intense period of experiments, visions and imagination. The end of such a tragic period for the world enabled intellectuals and architects in particular, but also film-makers to rethink the future and imagine new situations with an optimistic use of technologies. For some of them, such as Buckminster Fuller, technology was the resource that(...)

Summary:
The post-war years were a very intense period of experiments, visions and imagination. The end of such a tragic period for the world enabled intellectuals and architects in particular, but also film-makers to rethink the future and imagine new situations with an optimistic use of technologies. For some of them, such as Buckminster Fuller, technology was the resource that was to save the world, as in the case of covering Manhattan with a glass dome, almost to preserve it like an ancient ruin. Thus, this new issue of archphoto2.0 is dedicated to the "Visionary Thinkers", to those who turned their minds to imagine new scenarios.

Rivka Rinn is an artist on the go: this handsome, limited-edition color volume presents four new series of photographs documenting the artist's travel over the past ten years. Rinn's narrative-based, hyper-intense digital photos are often produced with ink-jet printer on glass and mounted in beautifully lit displays; the book shows many of them in context, adding another way of appreciating the Israel-born, Europe-based photographer's work Certainly, Rinn's photos, whether of crowded streets in Japan or a heavenly, cloud-studded sky juxtaposed with a Renaissance dome, add an unexpected dimension to our view of the world.
