Summary:
This book features crafted word pictures of Marian Bantjes. Whether hand-drawn or using computer illustration software, Bantjes's work crosses the boundaries of time, style, and technology. There is, however, another side to Bantjes's visual work: her thoughtful treatises on art, design, beauty, and popular culture that add a deeper dimension to the decorative nature of her best-known work. These reflections cover the cult of Santa, road-side advertising, photography and memory, the alphabet's letterforms, heraldry, and stars. Bantjes's writing style ranges from the playful to the confrontational, but it is always imbued with perspicacity, insight, and a sense of fun.

Summary:
A ‘complex’ can be an architectural configuration, a psychological syndrome or a political apparatus. In this book, John Miller approaches Educational Complex through corresponding lines of enquiry, considering the representation of Kelley’s schools (and his childhood home) as architectural models; popular fantasies associated with false memory syndrome; and the liberal democratic premises underpinning education. During his lifetime, Mike Kelley worked with a wide range of media, exploring themes as varied as grassroots politics, religious systems and social class. Miller shows that in Educational Complex, Kelley expands this political and aesthetic focus to test the ideological horizon of art as an institution.

Summary:
On an almost daily basis, Andy Goldsworthy makes art using the materials and conditions he encounters wherever he is, be it the land around his Scottish home, the mountain regions of France or Spain, or the sidewalks of New York City, Glasgow, or Rio de Janeiro. Out of earth, rocks, leaves, ice, snow, rain, sunlight, and shadow he creates works that exist briefly before they are altered and erased by natural processes. They are documented in his photographs, and their larger meanings are bound up with the forces that they embody: materiality, temporality, growth, vitality, permanence, decay, chance, labor, and memory.

''Walk Notations'' brings together traces emerging from ''Dissident Paths: Walking Together as a Method'', a series of artistic walks across Berlin in 2025. Moving between artistic practices, curatorial conversations, and reflections, the book approaches walking as a method for being together in public space.

Conceived as a portable companion, ''Walk Notations'' invites the readers to navigate the city otherwise—attentive to detours, thresholds, and the possibilities that emerge when paths are made collectively

Summary:
Moving beyond the usual forms endemic to the graphic design canon, "Designing history" studies bureaucratic instruments such as money, passports, certificates, property deeds and more. Such documents produce identity, assign ownership and ascribe value. They stabilize claims, memory and knowledge that would otherwise be vulnerable to contestation or obliteration. Despite their apparent banality, such documents are perhaps graphic design’s most profoundly consequential forms. This book is the revised edition of "Immutable: Designing history" (2022). It includes an extended essay that contextualizes the project as one concerned primarily with prompting a remapping of graphic design’s historical and practical assumptions.

Summary:
C3 442 presents nine projects from Korea and abroad that reveal how architecture engages landscape, memory, materiality, and urban transformation. The issue explores architecture’s capacity to respond to natural systems, preserve cultural narratives, and generate meaningful spatial experiences. Among other projects, the Brumadinho Memorial examine vernacular craft, material expression, and collective remembrance. In K-Projects, REST by Pezo von Ellrichshausen, Cultural Center Hodu, and Intaglio investigate architecture’s relationship with topography through restraint, preservation, and spatial depth. The Urban Gaps, Small Buildings section highlights three compact interventions that transform challenging sites into distinctive urban experiences, demonstrating the enduring potential of small-scale architecture.

Summary:
In retracing the Viaggio photographic archive in Italy, a collection of 220 photographs from a 1984 project organised by pioneering contemporary photographer Luigi Ghirri, Nicola Nunziata presents a multi-layered book that considers the notion of landscape. Rereading the original images in terms of individual and shared experience, memory, and aesthetics, he investigates their substance formats, materials, surface textures, colours, marks and traces, signatures of the authors in order to divulge the singular details that express the history they hold, and thereby reflect upon the sense of transformation on a global scale in the period when they came into being.
