Summary:
This book presents 27 years of Deanna Dikeman photographing her parents waving goodbye as she left their home after a visit. Just as she was driving away, Dikeman invariably pointed her camera at her parents. What started with a candid snapshot in 1991 turned into a ritual over the years. The book chronicles their farewells as seasons change and years go by, separating black and white photographs from colour photographs. "Leaving and waving" — which was originally part of a larger body of work entitled "Relative moments" — is a heartfelt exploration of family, the passage of time and the sadness of leaving.

Summary:
The three works selected for this volume on Tadao Ando are not recent in chronological terms. However, the quality of being novel is one of the least appropriate ways to approach the Japanese architect’s work, which is wholly disassociated from this. The three houses – in Osaka, Ashiya (Hyogo), and Tokyo – can be described as symbolic junctures in Ando’s exploration of(...)

Summary:
The three works selected for this volume on Tadao Ando are not recent in chronological terms. However, the quality of being novel is one of the least appropriate ways to approach the Japanese architect’s work, which is wholly disassociated from this. The three houses – in Osaka, Ashiya (Hyogo), and Tokyo – can be described as symbolic junctures in Ando’s exploration of residential design, with clear differences in their respective scales, plans, and contexts, but with an identical radical approach through which the building’s form reacts to these conditions and transforms them into its intrinsic qualities. Includes an extensive text and photographs by Yukio Futagawa.

Summary:
Despite the significance of the natural sciences for humanity’s present and future, the principles of today’s scientific practices are often not exposed to the broad social discourse they deserve. Through a combination of philosophy and photography, Jana Hartmann produces a visual exploration of the history of alchemy and science. In the book, she initiates an intriguing dialogue on reductionistic and holistic worldviews, using excerpts from both alchemical writings and modern scientific publications, interwoven with selectively framed images of scientific phenomena. In examining humanity’s conquest of nature, Hartmann fosters curiosity towards a world that all too often remains opaque.

Summary:
This book brings together fifteen projects by the French architect Jean-Christophe Quinton carried out between 2002 and 2021. The architectural projects presented are all isolated in remote locations, so the topography and the panorama are central to Quinton’s formal and creative process. The observation drawing enriches the information of the first visual contact with these places, endowing it with temporality. The project drawing is an exploration of their complexity, achieving a synthesis and discarding non-essential details. From the drawings spring the rules, the dimensions and the geometries that will constitute the system of things built or buildable
