Summary:
In 1986 a new Barcelona Pavilion was completed on the site of the original 1929 German Pavilion in Barcelona. That same year marked the 150th anniversary of photography and the centenary of Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969). Since then, much has been written about all three, jointly and singly. Whilst the literature on Mies van der Rohe has more than doubled in the past fifteen years, no scholar has yet to seriously study, at any length, the unique phenomenon that was, is and will continue to be the Barcelona Pavilion. "Building desire" focuses on the pavilion's image of an enduring myth of modernity.

Summary:
Accompanying an exhibition at Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh opening in November 2017, this book brings together more than 30 photographs by Talbot that demonstrate his wide-ranging interests, including nature, still-life, portraiture, architecture and landscape. Some of these images are previously unpublished. Through thematic groupings elucidated by noted Talbot scholar Larry Schaaf, the book reveals the photographer’s early striving to test the boundaries of his medium at a historic moment when art and science intersected. With its luminous reproductions of Talbot’s fragile works, this publication demonstrates that, in its earliest days, photography required a form of magic-making and innovation that continues to inspire people today.

Summary:
This book includes essays by Marlon Blackwell, Kenneth Frampton, Kristian Gullichsen, Karsten Harries, John Hejduk, Mikko Heikkinen, Dan Hoffman, Steven Holl, Markku Komonen, Esa Laaksonen, Daniel Libeskind, Robert McCarter, Alberto Perez-Gomez, Nina Stritzler-Levine, Philip Tidwell, Billie Tsien, Leslie Van Duzer, Ben Weese, Cynthia Weese, Tod Williams, Colin St. John Wilson, and Peter Zumthor.

However, a parallel intention of "Archipelago" is to open further doors and windows into architecture's past, present and future through the observations and declarations of the assembled contributors.

Summary:
The life of legendary Swiss photographer Ernst Moiré is so shrouded in speculation that he sometimes seems more like a phantasm than the flesh-and-blood figure whose name will forever be linked with the well-known printer’s error. Yet as scholar Lytle Shaw reveals in The Moiré Effect, when it comes to Monsieur Moiré and his circle, fact is often stranger than fiction. (...)

Summary:
The life of legendary Swiss photographer Ernst Moiré is so shrouded in speculation that he sometimes seems more like a phantasm than the flesh-and-blood figure whose name will forever be linked with the well-known printer’s error. Yet as scholar Lytle Shaw reveals in The Moiré Effect, when it comes to Monsieur Moiré and his circle, fact is often stranger than fiction. This publication tracks the artist from his humble Alpine beginnings as the son of a postal clerk to his fateful founding of a Zurich photography studio in the 1890s and his subsequent role in the lives of a number of curious figures.
