Many societies have imagined going to live in space. What they want to do once they get up there—whether conquering the unknown, establishing space ''colonies,'' privatising the moon’s resources—reveals more than expected.

Summary:
Many societies have imagined going to live in space. What they want to do once they get up there—whether conquering the unknown, establishing space ''colonies,'' privatising the moon’s resources—reveals more than expected. In this fascinating radical history of space exploration, Fred Scharmen shows that often science and fiction have combined in the imagined dreams of life in outer space, but these visions have real implications for life back on earth. For the Russian Cosmists of the 1890s space was a place to pursue human perfection away from the Earth. For others, such as Wernher Von Braun, it was an engineering task that combined, in the Space Race, the Cold War, and during World War II, with destructive geopolitics. Arthur C. Clarke, in his speculative books, offered an alternative vision of wonder that is indifferent to human interaction. Meanwhile NASA planned and managed the space station like an earthbound corporation. Today, the market has arrived into outer space and exploration is the plaything of superrich technology billionaires, who plan to privatise the mineral wealth for themselves. Are other worlds really possible? Bringing these figures and ideas together reveals a completely different story of our relationship with outer space, as well as the dangers of our current direction of extractive capitalism and colonisation.

A follow up to her debut monograph ''Entangled'' (Deadbeat Club, 2020), ''Resurfacing'' furthers Maude Arsenault’s visual poetry with ongoing, honest exploration of the female experience. Time passes; family life fractures and splinters with it. Surfaces crack under a varnish of quiet and soft tones, as folds and crevasses are mirrors of an inner, newly reappropriated body. ''Resurfacing'' is an essential extension of her work, translating the delicate and subdued power of her images into a tactile, textured design—giving amplitude and rhythm to Arsenault’s feminist visual language.

Summary:
In an era when the dual challenges of climate change and social isolation loom large, "Drifting symmetries" emerges as a pivotal exploration of architecture's role in shaping a sustainable and connected future.

Presented in this comprehensive volume of projects and parallel research, their work demonstrates a multidisciplinary approach that invents new settings for public life by exploring the gradient between nature and architecture.

Fruit de deux colloques internationaux organisés par la Haute École d’Art et de Design de Genève, « L’architecture d’intérieur en mots » (2015) et « La fin de l’intériorité ? » (2016), ce livre propose une vision d’ensemble d’une profession aux sensibilités parfois disparates et affirme avec force la spécificité de sa méthode (face notamment à ses disciplines soeurs que sont le design et l’architecture). Il constitue ainsi un référent théorique qui fonde une réflexion de l’espace qui consiste à placer l’humain au centre d’une exploration qui va de l’intérieur vers l’extérieur.
