Written in a clear and concise manner by about thirty authors, it features a collection of editorials from the Canadian Competitions Catalogue (CCC), a large online digital archive open to the public since 2006. The editorials explore more than sixty Canadian architecture competitions held in the last seventy years. Especially in recent years, both public and private institutions have organized competitions across Canada, producing hundreds of architectural, urban planning, and landscape design projects. Together these proposals, most of which remain unbuilt, constitute a fantastic treasure in our tangible and intangible common heritage. Given that competition organizers, designers, juries, and critics never operate alone, there is no doubt whatsoever that this book results from the collaboration of a myriad of people, contributing to and competing for excellence in architecture.

Summary:
Without a doubt the most brilliant architectural innovator of his day, Sir John Soane (1753-1837) displayed a remarkable ability to adapt and modernize the language ofclassical architecture. The range of his built designs, from the ingenuity of his own house in London's Lincoln's Inn Fields (now Sir John Soane's Museum) to the opulence and originality of the Bank of England, places him on a par with other leading European neoclassicists, such as Ledoux and Schinkel. His architectural vocabulary remains infl uential to this day. Back in print, this landmark publication considers Soane's architectural achievements as well as his life and public role. It reproduces more than 100 of Soane's drawings and contains specially commissioned photographs of his original models and existing buildings. Contributors discuss all of the architect's major commissions, including the Dulwich Picture Gallery, the Law Courts at Westminster, and the Bank of England.

Summary:
Whether or not you celebrated Christmas at some point during the last 70 years, you have no doubt encountered many of the scenes shown here in Lee Friedlander's eclectic black-and-white documentation of the holiday season across America. From city sidewalks to cookie-cutter suburbs, Friedlander captures it all: main street store window displays; plastic nativities on snow-covered lawns; inflatable snowglobes and Santa Clauses; questionable St. Nicholas–themed lingerie; oversize or underwhelming Christmas trees; and houses so covered in string lights as to demand nothing short of a miracle from the local power grid. As in all of his work, Friedlander's images of Christmas reflect his own version of the holiday. Is Christmas in America a religious celebration? A commercial precept? A misunderstanding? An indulgent blasphemy? Or all of the above? The only certain thing is that December 25 has provided an opportunity for the people's photographer to hold up a mirror to a flawed, inventive, preoccupied and wonderful society.

From its title to its formal arrangement of language, Brad Feuerhelm's Dein Kampf suggests a commentary on our cyclical anxieties about ideology. Anxiety is implicit in his photographs and Berlin is their natural backdrop, being a city in which several ideologies collided in the twentieth century.

Summary:
From its title to its formal arrangement of language, Brad Feuerhelm's Dein Kampf suggests a commentary on our cyclical anxieties about ideology. Anxiety is implicit in his photographs and Berlin is their natural backdrop, being a city in which several ideologies collided in the twentieth century. The city exemplifies the quagmire of possibilities in which the tensions of historical narrative and contemporary political and ideological doubt are played out in visual motifs throughout the landscape. Fragments of the past and symbols of capitalist modernity underpin the work-banks, insurance companies and people as effigies of citizens appear as a cloaking miasma, the spectre of past, present and no future. The schema of the glitch and the appropriation methods in Feuerhelm's work are subtle enquiries into the contemporary conditions of fear and confusion. Loose associations about changing futures under technology, religion, immigration and the future of the photographic image also loom large. Dein Kampf is Feuerhelm's proposition about how we activate image and ideology in the book form. Includes text by Ulrich Baer.

Summary:
Joan Fontcuberta, in his original and multifaceted work Camouflages, brings into question the concept of reality, exploring camouflage in all its aspects. The idea develops through ten thematic areas: independent, but strictly related as they represent as many viewpoints on the alteration of reality. From the images of a fossil mermaid to virtual landscapes, created(...)

Summary:
Joan Fontcuberta, in his original and multifaceted work Camouflages, brings into question the concept of reality, exploring camouflage in all its aspects. The idea develops through ten thematic areas: independent, but strictly related as they represent as many viewpoints on the alteration of reality. From the images of a fossil mermaid to virtual landscapes, created using famous artworks as moulds, passing through paradoxical miracles and fake botanical plates. The purpose is to spread 'doubt' in the mind of the observer. The stars are midges and dust on the windscreen of a car, behind the terrorist hides an ordinary actor and an imaginary Russian astronaut disappears in space as well as in all documents and official photographs.Through these images Fontcuberta, with an ironic and disillusioned eye, deals with broader subjects: the role of religion in society and politics, criticising superstition and irrational; the limitations connected with the idea of authorship, style, signature and authenticity of a work of art; a reflection upon realism conceived as 'belief', 'faith' or conviction.

Summary:
Much like the moon, which does not cast its own light but reflects the sun’s, the photographs in ''Midday Moon'' appear to represent the world, but are, in fact, an echo of Beatriz Banha’s particular universe. This is a world seen askew: hands mid-gesture, textures half-revealed, objects both tactile and out of place. Banha’s presence is constant but never central.(...)

Summary:
Much like the moon, which does not cast its own light but reflects the sun’s, the photographs in ''Midday Moon'' appear to represent the world, but are, in fact, an echo of Beatriz Banha’s particular universe. This is a world seen askew: hands mid-gesture, textures half-revealed, objects both tactile and out of place. Banha’s presence is constant but never central. She operates just outside the frame, like a satellite held in orbit. The places that formed her, the house she grew up in, territories in and around Évora, everyday scenes and familiar spaces — are all touched by something unfamiliar: the agency of photography. Flash brings surfaces into sharp relief while casting doubt on their meaning. Obstacles impair our recognition of figures in portraits. Lush still-lives appear gift-wrapped in plastic bags. The scenes appear real enough, yet they feel slightly detached, as if lit by an otherworldly source. ''Midday Moon'' might be a study in perception. A kind of lunary where the moon is rarely seen, but rather what it lights up: a world estranged from itself. An elusive account, equally distanced and affectionate, of the relationship between the real world and Banha’s own, in which photography acts as our interpreter.

Summary:
The focus of this issue of icamprint is on the 'market' for private archives. After all, collecting and managing the documentation of architecture history to conform to academic and scientific standards is a complex business, and a core task for most icam members. In this context, whether or not the 'originals' by star architects have an artistic value on the market is only superficially a decisive issue. If one considers the lengths taken by the custodian's of Le Corbusier's estate to secure a suitable new home for what is without doubt a painting of artistic note, and so a market value and with it a place in an art history context, then it is worth waiting to see the place conceded on the art market one day to project-related sketches and drawings by contemporary star architects. The whole history of the conception and realisation of important works of architecture within a context of culture history ought to feature more prominently in the collection policy of icam members to ensure its suitability for research purposes. It remains to be seen what price is attributed to these comprehensive documents, these convolutes, in the competition between private collectors. This notwithstanding, the 'market' for collecting is just as crucial to icam members as the continuing debate on 'originals', and safeguarding them in times of digital architecture production. icamprint will focus increasingly on these and related issues, opening the discussion to all of the member institutions, to develop into an indispensable medium providing orientation on key issues for all icam members.
