Summary:
Laurent Schlittler et Patrick Claudet puisent dans leur collection de quelque six mille vinyles pour nous faire découvrir de nouveaux territoires musicaux. De Caracas à Beyrouth en passant par Wichita, ils ont parcouru le monde à la recherche de disques de Mouna Box, La Jezira ou Johnny Staco, autant d’artistes confidentiels qui étoffent une obscure collection. Le choix exclusif du vinyle comme support et une diffusion quasi-inexistante rendent ces pépites introuvables, voir intraçables, puisqu’ils n’apparaissent pas sur le Net. Cette sélection d’albums, qui est aussi un exercice de style littéraire sur les codes musicaux actuels, offre une galerie de portraits dignes de se trouver dans l’ouvrage de Jorge Luis Borges, Pierre Ménard, auteur du Quichotte.

Summary:
Charles Wilson Brega James (1906 - 78) was one of the most celebrated and sought-after couturiers of his day, and won ecstatic praise for his highly innovative designs. Without formal training, he created some of the most ambitious, dramatic couture of the twentieth century and, with the breathless support of the UK and American press, came to be the designer of choice for powerful clients including Marlene Dietrich and socialite Austine Hearst. In this book, the first in a new series examining the working methods and dressmaking practices of great designers, James's reputation is re-examined and his most breathtaking designs are analyzed in exacting detail - from magnificent eveningwear to chic accessories.

On doit à Alain Sarfati, depuis 1972, de nombreux projets et réalisations ; en 2004 lui a été confiée la construction de la future ambassade de France à Pékin.

Summary:
On doit à Alain Sarfati, depuis 1972, de nombreux projets et réalisations ; en 2004 lui a été confiée la construction de la future ambassade de France à Pékin. Il est l'un des rares architectes à avoir fait de ses réflexions sur la ville le support d'un travail sur le logement (qu'il soit individuel ou collectif), ainsi que le fondement d'une architecture publique raisonnée. Pour cet architecte, la démarche commence par une attention à l'usage. Démagogie ? Assurément non. Si Sarfati entend rendre possible pour qui l'occupe l'appropriation du bâti, et redonner tout son sens au verbe habiter, l'architecture qu'il promeut ne se départit jamais d'une intention esthétique que redouble une mise en valeur symbolique. Le bâtiment tel que l'envisage Alain Sarfati n'est jamais neutre ni autonome.

As Aaron Betsky notes in his introductory essay, that while Guallart is an active member of what has been called emergent architecture, his practice goes further, generating a body of work that emerges from both physical and social – both real and digital – structures. While the architect himself suggests that the end purpose of architecture is not (solely) to build, but(...)

Summary:
As Aaron Betsky notes in his introductory essay, that while Guallart is an active member of what has been called emergent architecture, his practice goes further, generating a body of work that emerges from both physical and social – both real and digital – structures. While the architect himself suggests that the end purpose of architecture is not (solely) to build, but also to define environments where human life can be organised. To support these observations, such projects as Denia Mountain, the Spanish Pavilion for Shanghai Expo 2010, the Keelung Maritime Plaza and Fugee Port in Taiwan, the Cambrils Sea Apartments and the Sociopolis Masterplan, Valencia are examined. Seventeen works and projects are presented in total, accompanied by essays, texts, photographs and elaborate technical drawings. Texts in English/Chinese

Summary:
''Curating & Repair'' is a publication exploring contemporary curatorial practices and exhibition-making as contexts for dialogue, exchange and the remaking of social and cultural relations through repair. It seeks actionable insights into how artistic work, its mediation and the institutions that support it might be mobilised toward more sustainable and interdependent worlds. Taking flight from perspectives on translation, solidarity and power, ''Curating & Repair'' approaches mediation both as contested terrain and generative possibility. It discusses the importance of challenging normative power relations in artistic collaboration, alongside the difficulties of sustaining creative work against the undertow of multiplying global crises. By aligning the curatorial with the dialogical, it calls attention to the serious, collective work that we as artists, mediators and publics have at our hands

Summary:
''Choreographing space'' is a reflection on the collaborative work of New York City-based architecture practice, e+i studio. In the book, the founders of the practice, Eva Perez de Vega and Ian Gordon, outline a fascinating selection of projects from the studio, which will take the reader on a journey and give them a key understanding of the important work of this dynamic and forward-thinking architecture and design practice. Thisl book offers both a retrospective and speculative outlook. Retrospectively, it explores the people, places and practices that have influenced each project. For certain projects it also proposes speculative post-human scenarios, to support the idea that the impact of architecture on its environment involves a reconning with the ecologies it replaces.
