Summary:
This book is a comprehensive investigation into photographic works by artists from the African continent and its diaspora. Taking the politics of the “colonial gaze” as its starting point, Events of the Social looks at the diverse complexity of the nineteenth-century archive through a selection of vintage portraits, cartes de visite, postcards and album pages. Three generations of African artists from the 1940s till now then chart the changing features of African societies through portraiture, exploring notions of the self, gender, sexuality, race, social status and politics. The book also examines landscape and the built environment, showing how architecture and spatial planning convey social order and ideology while reflecting experiences of migration, colonialism, war and industrialization. Another group of artists, born after the mid-1970s, explores issues of social identity, lineage, questions of belonging and personal experiences.

Summary:
Acclaimed architect David Adjaye is known for his artistic sensitivity and deft use of space and inexpensive, unexpected materials. With the hindsight of almost twenty years of practice and a raft of high-profile projects around the world? perhaps best symbolized by the National Museum for African American History and Culture in Washington, DC?this book looks back on the houses and buildings of his early career. Adjaye’s early commissions were the test sites for what would become his unique, celebrated, and highly sought-after brand of “critical regionalism.” From London to Brooklyn, in private houses and public buildings, his clever urban interventions abound: roof-level living space is added to a factory-turned-studio, a sunken courtyard encases a tower-like house, and basalt stone extends a basement dining area to a roofless gazebo. ''David Adjaye- Works'' brings together all of these early projects and more and presents them with new analyses and recently uncovered archival material, testifying to the originality of an architect at the height of his talents who is changing the face of our built world.

Summary:
Deeply divided, with ethnic French dominating the south and a large, vibrant North African community in the north, the city of Marseille typifies the tensions stemming from problematic governance, a constant influx of migrants, the widespread privatisation of services, and rapid, profit-driven, and destructive post-industrial urbanisation. Examining this complex city through a series of case studies of its built environment, this book tells of an urban reality where migration is especially prevalent. Essays, photographs, and drawings illustrate the impact of migration on space, architecture, and territory. But it also offers strategies for development that can support social and spatial integration.

Summary:
Since 2008, German photographer Winfried Bullinger (born 1965) has traveled around Eastern and Central Africa, capturing the vernacular architecture of these regions. In this physical archive of his long-term project, Bullinger portrays a diverse array of African pastoralists’ homes, including tents, open dwellings and huts. Despite their variety, the structures are all made from materials available directly on site; they are radically efficient and sustainable. Implementing a silver-gelatin technique, Bullinger shoots with a large-format camera and honors the capricious natural light of day. Although he captures few inhabitants in his images, Bullinger records their many traces. Indeed, his photographs are born from a dialogue with the inhabitants and reveal architecture as a direct response, refined over centuries, to a people’s specific environment and culture. Bullinger’s conscientious formal and interpersonal decisions culminate in this valuable record of rapidly disappearing African architectural heritage.

Il s'agit d'un ouvrage qui entend proposer un regard photographique sur des bâtiments d'Abidjan portant l'empreinte d'un certain « modernisme tropical ». Plus exactement, 'Album Architectures, Abidjan' est le témoignage d'une rencontre entre deux individus qui habitent et partagent un attachement esthétique et émotionnel pour la cité lagunaire. Issa Diabaté, architecte, acteur contemporain du devenir architectural de cette ville qui ne cesse de se réinventer. François-Xavier Gbré, photographe qui a fait de l'architecture son médium privilégié d'appréhension de l'histoire sourde des lieux en envisageant les architectures comme les traces sédimentaires des changements sociaux et politiques d'un pays, la Côte d'Ivoire. Cet ouvrage, et la collection 'Album Architectures' plus largement, souhaite initier une réflexion sur la définition de la notion de patrimoine contemporain à travers la valorisation de paysages architecturaux riches et singuliers, pas toujours identifiés, souvent invisibilisés, de villes en perpétuelle mutation urbaine.
