Summary:
''Concéntrico: Urban Innovation Laboratory'' reflects on the first decade of the international Concéntrico festival and the one hundred and fifty projects and designs commissioned for it. The festival’s aim is to serve as a laboratory searching for creative ways of using architecture and design to strengthen communities and to support the dialogue between designers and citizens. The book offers a unique meditation on the transformation of cities and the relevance of architecture and design in the twenty-first century. It introduces meaningful ways to address and engage with pressing urban issues—from identity and heritage to temporariness, collectivity, ecology, play, and domesticity—through the lens of selected Concéntrico commissions since 2015. Through lavishly illustrated essays, it features projects by eighty artists, architects, and designers from twenty countries. They are prefaced and held together by a conversation between the editors Javier Peña Ibáñez and Nick Axel, who speak about the festival’s context, evolution, and the knowledge it has produced since 2014.

Summary:
Si autrefois la ville était un espace collectif où l'aspiration individuelle était possible, elle est aujourd’hui source d’isolement et de solitude. Partant de ce constat évident et largement médiatisé (qui n’a pas entendu parler de la « crise des banlieues » ?), François Leclercq nous livre un véritable manifeste pour la ville.

Summary:
Si autrefois la ville était un espace collectif où l'aspiration individuelle était possible, elle est aujourd’hui source d’isolement et de solitude. Partant de ce constat évident et largement médiatisé (qui n’a pas entendu parler de la « crise des banlieues » ?), François Leclercq nous livre un véritable manifeste pour la ville. Cette ville qu’il considère comme une entité vivante, autonome et adaptée aux incessantes fluctuations et évolutions contemporaines. Il imagine – à travers cinq récits racontant des opportunités de transformation – une ville qui s'adapte à la réalité d'un monde flou, débarrassée des certitudes des futurismes. Il conçoit les modalités d'une renaissance de la ville de tous et pour tous. Des histoires d'étudiantes maltraitées, d'amour, de voiture et d'échangeur, de maisons de rêve et de villes faciles, sont le support d'une réflexion originale sur la crise urbaine et les réponses à apporter. Les « auteurs-acteurs » de la ville, politiques et professionnels, n'ont plus qu'à saisir et appliquer les solutions proposées, « sans attendre pour ça que le monde aille bien ».

Summary:
From social get-together to scenes of delirium, this publication aims to unpack the party as a complex, vertiginous construct that provides a dynamic view onto questions of community. If the party functions as an intensification of togetherness, what lessons might it provide in negotiating a given social order? This first volume on the topic considers the house party, and in what ways domestic space is reworked in support of an extension of the family unit. Including a series of interviews with those active in flat events in Budapest during the communist regime and today, essays on hospitality, the politics of rest, and erotic knowledge, and documentation on Sala 603, an informal house-theater in Curitiba. The publication is the first in a new Errant Bodies series developed in parallel to a set of party-workshops initiated by the artist Brandon LaBelle held in different locations in Madrid, each of which performatively investigates states of partying, posing the party as a scene of study.

Summary:
Cette publication rend compte de l'approche singulière du dessin de Léa Belooussovitch à travers une sélection d'œuvres réalisées à main levée et au crayon de couleur sur du feutre textile blanc. L'artiste réinterprète selon un long processus, des photographies de nature violente issues des médias. Cette démarche confère un nouveau souffle à ces photographies, en faisant ressortir la part d'humanité qu'il y reste. Les dessins de Léa Belooussovitch répondent à un même protocole. Elle commence par sélectionner dans la presse ou sur Internet des images qui nous assaillent quotidiennement, liées à des faits d'actualités dramatiques : attentats au Pakistan, scènes de guerre en Syrie... L'artiste se concentre sur la représentation de victimes anonymes blessées ou vulnérables. Léa Belooussovitch soumet ces images-sources à diverses manipulations (recadrage, agrandissement) avant d'entamer leur transfert sur le support du feutre. Ce travail lent et répétitif d'accumulation des traits du crayon de couleur altère l'aspect lisse de la matière et lui confère un volume duveteux.

Summary:
"Salt Pans" is Edward Burtynsky’s newest book in his acclaimed ongoing series of photographs exploring different industrialized landscapes across the world. Consisting of 31 aerial photos of the salt pans in the Little Rann of Kutch, India, the project is the result of months of intricate negotiations and preparations. These striking geometric images, taken in an intense ten-day period during which Burtynsky photographed from a helicopter, present the pans, wells and vehicle tracks as abstract, painterly patterns: subtly colored rectangles crossed by grids of gestural lines. And yet the reality behind the ironic beauty of Burtynsky’s pictures is a harsh one. Each year 100,000 poorly paid Agariya workers toil in the pans, extracting over a million tons of salt from the floodwaters of the nearby Arabian Sea. Furthermore, receding groundwater levels, combined with debt, diminishing market values as well as a lack of governmental support, threaten the future of this 400-year-old tradition and the lives dependent on it.

Summary:
"Trace elements" are minerals that exist in minute quantities necessary for the growth and development of cells. Exposure to excessive quantities is toxic, but without them our bodies would atrophy. They are the crystalline structures that support life. Over the past decade, Aranda\Lasch has focused obsessively on these structures as a form of both organization and expression for architecture. Their projects explore the interplay between rule-based systems and human ritual. In scale, this work lies somewhere between furniture and building, so that what is built, drawn, and projected gives human measure to procedural thinking. Published on the occasion of the studio's exhibition "Meeting the Clouds Halfway" at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Tucson, this book is a collection of recent explorations into modularity, craft, pattern, rhythm, material, and memory. Trace Elements documents a wide-ranging and yet sharply focused body of work from an office dedicated both to intellectual exploration and the honing of a distinct design sensibility.

La sensibilité au temps qu’il fait a une histoire : chaleur et froid polaire, pluie, vent n'ont ni la même signification ni la même réception selon les époques. De même, notre relation avec l’eau, douce ou salée, a évolué : bienfaisantes ou malfaisantes pour le corps humain, toutes les eaux ne se valent pas, et leurs qualités, illusoires ou non, changent au fil des siècles. Enfin, si les bords de mer sont déjà convoités à l’époque romaine, ce n’est qu’à partir du XVIIIe siècle que les rivages exercent une véritable attraction. Les angoisses face au ciel, l’eau comme « riche support de croyances, de fantasmes et, surtout, de rêves », la mer « apprivoisée », vue de la terre ferme – ce sont ces matières-là, malléables et fascinantes, qui nourrissent les pages de l’historien.

Summary:
Museums are frequently sites of struggle and negotiation. They are key cultural institutions that occupy an oftentimes uncomfortable place at the crossroads of the arts, culture, various levels of government, corporate ventures, and the public. Because of this, museums are targeted by political action but can also provide support for contentious politics. Though protests at museums are understudied, they are far from anomalous. "Tear Gas Epiphanies" traces the as-yet-untold story of political action at museums in Canada from the early twentieth century to the present. The book looks at how museums do or do not archive protest ephemera, examining a range of responses to actions taking place at their thresholds, from active encouragement to belligerent dismissal. Drawing together extensive primary-source research and analysis, Robertson questions widespread perceptions of museums, strongly arguing for a reconsideration of their role in contemporary society that takes into account political conflict and protest as key ingredients in museum life.

Summary:
The sites and stories of this publication shift our perception of what defines New York, placing the passion, determination, defeats, and victories of its people at the core. Delving into the histories of New York's five boroughs, you will encounter enslaved Africans in revolt, women marching for equality, workers on strike, musicians and performers claiming streets for their art, and neighbors organizing against landfills and industrial toxins and in support of affordable housing and public schools. The streetscapes that emerge from these groups' struggles bear the traces, and this book shows you where to look to find them. This book expands the scope and scale of traditional guidebooks, providing an equitable exploration of the diverse communities throughout the city. Through the stories of over 150 sites across the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island as well as thematic tours and contemporary and archival photographs, a people’s New York emerges, one in which collective struggles for justice and freedom have shaped the very landscape of the city.
