Upon his death, Stéphane Mallarmé (1842–98) left hundreds of notes on an unrealized great work he called ''The Book.'' Housed in a clear Plexiglas box, this card-deck conception of his project draws from that material, and from other writings alluding to its possible forms, including a letter in which he describes ''a book that is architectural...

Summary:
Upon his death, Stéphane Mallarmé (1842–98) left hundreds of notes on an unrealized great work he called ''The Book.'' Housed in a clear Plexiglas box, this card-deck conception of his project draws from that material, and from other writings alluding to its possible forms, including a letter in which he describes ''a book that is architectural... The orphic explanation of the Earth, which is the sole duty of the poet, and the literary game par excellence.'' The title of this game derives from another letter in which Mallarmé writes, ''perhaps the title of my volume of lyric poetry will be 'The Glory of the Lie, or The Glorious Lie.' ” Each deck contains 48 cards: three with artwork on each side, and 45 with words or phrases on each side. The size of the cards, their gold edging and the physical housing of the decks in the box reflect descriptions and clues in Mallarmé’s notes. The manner of playing the game is left open, but quotes and diagrams by Mallarmé in the accompanying 20-page booklet point to the idea of pulling cards from each of the four decks and laying them out for one reading, then flipping the cards over for a second reading. The image cards function like the Arcana of Tarot, providing a visual language equal to the word cards. The readings might be used to create poetry or, like Tarot, to divine or illuminate.

Summary:
This publication reissues a beloved photobook classic that has been out of print since the hardcover edition was published in 2010. As photographer Jason Fulford recently learned firsthand, mushrooms have a way of growing and spreading wherever they touch ground. It all started when a friend of Fulford's gave him a box, found at a flea market, full of photos of mushrooms—unassuming pictures taken by an unknown but almost certainly amateur photographer, apparently as notes for some mycological studies. These mushroom images got stuck in Fulford's mind, like a bad song sometimes does, and they started to grow in his own work. The Mushroom Collector combines some of the original flea-market mushroom pictures with his own images and text by the artist about the project.

Summary:
Architecture has a powerful role in nation building and identity formation. Buildings and monuments not only constitute the built fabric of society, they reflect the intersection of culture, politics, economics, and aesthetics as these forces are played out in distinct social settings and distinct times. This extraordinary anthology traces the interaction between culture and politics as reflected in Canadian architecture and the infrastructure of ordinary life, from the first contacts between indigenous peoples and European missionaries to the construction of big-box shopping centres in postmodern cities. Whether focusing on Jesuit perceptions of New France, the construction of Toronto’s St. James Cathedral or Canada’s first Parliament, Brutalism in Canadian architecture, or the ideas of Marshall McLuhan and Arthur Erickson, these essays showcase ways of thinking about the built environment that extend beyond considerations of authorship and style to address the influence of cultural politics and insights from race and gender studies and from postcolonial and spatial theory. By coupling a national focus with a wide historical scope, Architecture and the Canadian Fabric transforms how we see the role of architecture and in doing so radically questions how we continue to live in, interact with, and interpret the fabricated world.

Summary:
In 1988, photographer Sandy Sorlien set out on a series of journeys to document the rich architectural heritage that America is losing to the cheap and banal design aesthetic of tract housing, strip malls, and big-box stores. Her eight-year odyssey took her over ninety thousand miles of back roads to every state in the Union in search of homes that reflect and define the region in which they stand. After making over a thousand "house portraits," Sorlien has chosen one representative image from each state and collected them in Fifty Houses. Shot with black-and-white infrared film, the homes captured through Sorlien's lens range from the grand to the humble, from the historic to the commonplace. Included here are a classic saltbox in Newtown, Connecticut; the House on the Rocks in Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay; a mobile home in Bushnell, Florida; a Stick-style folk Victorian in Biloxi, Mississippi; a limestone cottage in Fredericksburg, Texas; a false-front house in Rollins, Montana; a log cabin in Dubois, Wyoming; an adobe dwelling in Sante Fe, New Mexico; and a platform tent in Healy, Alaska. Each image is accompanied by a vignette from Sorlien's road journal, offering details of the house depicted, its owners and history, other houses in the region, or her travel experiences in the state.

Summary:
In recent years the Basel architects Herzog & de Meuron have seen several major competitions judged in their favor. Their museum to house the Goetz art collection in Munich, as well as projects to convert new exhibition space for the Tate Gallery in London and redesign the Hypobank quarter of Munich's inner city have earned international acclaim. Now this multi-volume Birkhäuser edition is tracing the development of their complete work. Published out of sequence, Volume 2 is the first of this set to appear and spans the years 1989 1991. Included among its 32 projects are the well-known copper-clad signal box and locomotive depot, the repository for the Goetz art collection, the campus dormitory at the University of Dijon, and the Pfaffenholz sports center in St. Louis. Their approach to the building envelope, for all of its sobriety, evidences a richness not normally associated with the leading proponents of the new Swiss architecture. Lessons from early experimentation with imprinted glass and concrete have been adapted for many of their new buildings. Building envelopes, such as for the Cultural Center in Blois, are conceived as "information skins." At the same time, a fastidious examination of the site leads to a critical dialogue with the city. The urban analyses emerging from the large-scale study, "Basel, a City in the Making?", but also the work on the master plans for the university campus at Dijon and the town sector of Sils Cuncas in the upper Engadine form a focal point in this volume.

Now this multi-volume Birkhäuser edition is tracing the development of their complete work. Published out of sequence, Volume 2 is the first of this set to appear and spans the years 1989 1991. Included among its 32 projects are the well-known copper-clad signal box and locomotive depot, the repository for the Goetz art collection, the campus dormitory at the University of Dijon, and the Pfaffenholz sports center in St. Louis. Their approach to the building envelope, for all of its sobriety, evidences a richness not normally associated with the leading proponents of the new Swiss architecture. Lessons from early experimentation with imprinted glass and concrete have been adapted for many of their new buildings. Building envelopes, such as for the Cultural Center in Blois, are conceived as "information skins." At the same time, a fastidious examination of the site leads to a critical dialogue with the city. The urban analyses emerging from the large-scale study, "Basel, a City in the Making?", but also the work on the master plans for the university campus at Dijon and the town sector of Sils Cuncas in the upper Engadine form a focal point in this volume.
