Après nous avoir expliqué la géomorphologie du mont Royal, Jean-Claude Marsan nous entraîne dans une exploration minutieuse de cette montérégienne de trois kilomètres carrés où se côtoient fabuleux paysages, cimetières et édifices (hôpitaux, collèges, universités, oratoire, résidences privées) souvent patrimoniaux. Sans oublier le parc du mont Royal aménagé par le père de l’architecture paysagiste en Amérique du Nord, Frederick Law Olmsted, qui donna son nom au chemin qui mène à trois sites d’un grand intérêt : La Croix, le belvédère et le lac aux Castors. Les peintures à l’huile de Tex Dawson accompagnent magnifiquement le texte.

Summary:
Modern glass facades are technically demanding and fascinating in design. Glass as a building material has diverse characteristics, even contrary on occasion, and architects are increasingly using the high design potential of fully glazed facades in representative building projects outside of the typical office typology. An essay by Christian Schittich opens an exploration of this transformative element of architecture through fourteen works designed by as many architects. Projects range from a Shanghai tea house by Atelier Deshaus and Mikkelsen Arkitekter’s Rambøll Headquarters in Copenhagen, to works by Atelier Kempe Thill, Wiel Arets, Pezo von Ellrichshausen and more.

Through a lively exploration of material culture, literature, and architecture, 'American Arcadia' offers a tour through California's development as a Mediterranean haven from the late nineteenth century to the present.

Summary:
In the first book on Tschichold to be based on extensive archive research, Burke turns fresh and revealing light on his subject. He sets Tschichold in the network of artists and designers who constituted New Typography in its moment of definition and exploration, and puts new emphasis on Tschichold as an activist collector, editor and writer. Tschichold’s work is shown in colour throughout, in freshly made photographs of examples drawn from public and private collections. This is not a biography, but rather a discussion of the work seen in the context of Tschichold’s life and the times in which he lived.

Summary:
An intricate tapestry of personal and collective memory, Mashid Mohadjerin’s work interweaves photography, text, video, and archival material to explore displacement, resistance, and identity. She reconstructs the past not as a distant realm but as something tangible, living within language, inherited trauma, and memory. In "Riding in silence & the crying dervish," the tension between imposed identity and self-definition is key to the artist’s exploration of masculinity and how it is shaped by war, colonialism, nationalism, and religious ideology. Through the lens of her father’s memories, Mohadjerin reveals how even the simplest actions become acts of quiet defiance.
