Summary:
Since 2020, Collecting Otherwise, initiated by the Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam, has explored how archives and their policies shape institutional memory, urban history, and public heritage, challenging the idea that heritage is “neutral”. It aims to change institutional culture to recognise and champion under-represented roles, practices, and perspectives in archives. Besides rethinking archival practices in case studies from the National Collection, the project addresses annual themes on collecting and develops collaborative tools. The manuals invite engagement with these tools to support reparative archival work and deepen reflections on the responsibilities of memory.

D'abord destiné aux non-voyants, le livre "tactile" est vite plébiscité par les artistes du début du XXe siècle comme support de création et d'innovation avant de se faire outil pédagogique à disposition des tout jeunes enfants, ou des adultes désireux d'appréhender différemment les domaines scientifiques ou artistiques.

Summary:
Chicago, like many urban centers throughout the world, has recently undergone a surge in new construction, grafting a new layer of architectural experimentation onto those of past eras. In early 2007, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, with the support of U.S. Equities Realty, invited Michael Wolf as an artist-in-residence to document this phenomenon. Bringing his unique perspective on changing urban environments to a city renowned for its architectural legacy, Wolf chose to photograph the central downtown area, focusing specifically on issues of voyeurism and the contemporary urban landscape in flux.

Summary:
Form and Formlessness is an experimental research project that investigates how aesthetic abstractions are developed through three approaches: An educational approach concerned with developing an aesthetic discipline, supporting a formgiving process aimed to create tangible artifacts. An art-based approach supporting an open exploration of distortion and formlessness. A cross-disciplinary exploratory approach concerned with aesthetic experiences shared in laborations demonstrating complexity and transformation. The thesis offers methods and models that both support and challenge the normative concepts of beauty, with high relevance for teaching 3-D formgiving aesthetics and research by design methodologies.

Summary:
Cette publication entend contribuer à l’élaboration d’un regard critique aux dynamiques qui émergent de la croisée des notions de numérique et de l’urbain. Les mots digital et polis servent de « ruse » pour déplacer le regard, sans l’enfermer dans des discours dominants ou des significations préconçues : la ville est prise en compte en tant que polis, c’est-à-dire celui qui serait le support actif d’un espace politique et social, et le numérique s’élargit à la notion de digitus, de l’empreinte digitale, où il serait possible de repérer la trace de l’humain, la présence du corps.

La revue fig. est une revue d'architecture qui ne parle pas seulement d'architecture. C'est un support imprimé qui permet d'expérimenter et d'interroger l'espace, la ville, le paysage, le chantier et l'habiter. Son but est de livrer une critique architecturale innovante, plurielle, graphique et grammaticale, réunissant des positionnements artistiques, littéraires et philosophiques. Ce quatrième numéro de fig. montre quelques possibilités de concevoir d’autres architectures et d’entendre d’autres récits, hors des logiques immobilières et culturelles actuelles essentiellement basées sur la spéculation et la rentabilité, auxquelles on donne encore trop de latitude.

Well before today's debates on global warming and climate change, photographic images have played an important role in educating the general public about the wonders of nature and the destruction of the global environment.
