Summary:
Le Svalbard, dont l’île principale est Spitzberg, subit de plein fouet les incidences des actions humaines délétères. Ici, au-delà du cercle polaire arctique, la température augmente six à sept fois plus qu’ailleurs. La banquise et les glaciers sont en sursis et le dérèglement en cours sur cet archipel, aujourd’hui sentinelle du climat, nous met en garde contre un avenir(...)

Summary:
Le Svalbard, dont l’île principale est Spitzberg, subit de plein fouet les incidences des actions humaines délétères. Ici, au-delà du cercle polaire arctique, la température augmente six à sept fois plus qu’ailleurs. La banquise et les glaciers sont en sursis et le dérèglement en cours sur cet archipel, aujourd’hui sentinelle du climat, nous met en garde contre un avenir mortel. Après plusieurs passages sur ce territoire à bord de navires scientifiques, la photographe Férial est animée par la seule volonté de dire non à l’insouciance des hommes qui effacent peu à peu cette étoile dans la nuit.

Summary:
''Re-Thinking Re-Use'' is a dialogue and collaboration between Dutch and Japanese (building) cultures, where differing perspectives enrich and inspire one another. By learning from each other’s traditions and views on old, new and change, the project seeks a new and guiding balance. It embraces the reuse and transformation of existing buildings, structures and materials, encouraging an exchange between generations of architects and builders, and between innovation and craftsmanship. At a time when the construction sector faces the ecological impact of its actions, ''Re-Thinking Re-Use'' offers a sustainable perspective, rooted in continuity and evolution within the built environment.

Summary:
In Duty Free Art, filmmaker and writer Hito Steyerl wonders how we can appreciate, or even make art, in the present age. What can we do when arms manufacturers sponsor museums, and some of the world’s most valuable artworks are used as currency in a global futures market detached from productive work? Can we distinguish between information, fake news, and the digital(...)

Summary:
In Duty Free Art, filmmaker and writer Hito Steyerl wonders how we can appreciate, or even make art, in the present age. What can we do when arms manufacturers sponsor museums, and some of the world’s most valuable artworks are used as currency in a global futures market detached from productive work? Can we distinguish between information, fake news, and the digital white noise that bombards our everyday lives? Exploring subjects as diverse as video games, WikiLeaks files, the proliferation of freeports, and political actions, she exposes the paradoxes within globalization, political economies, visual culture, and the status of art production.

Keep walking intently: the ambulatory art of Surrealists, the Situationist International and Fluxus
$45.95
(available to order)
Summary:
Walking, that most basic of human actions, was transformed in the twentieth century by Surrealism, the Situationist International, and Fluxus into a tactic for revolutionizing everyday life. Each group chose locations in the urban landscape as sites—from the flea markets and bars of Paris to the sidewalks of New York—and ambulation as the essential gesture. Keep Walking(...)

Summary:
Walking, that most basic of human actions, was transformed in the twentieth century by Surrealism, the Situationist International, and Fluxus into a tactic for revolutionizing everyday life. Each group chose locations in the urban landscape as sites—from the flea markets and bars of Paris to the sidewalks of New York—and ambulation as the essential gesture. Keep Walking Intently traces the meandering and peculiar footsteps of these avant-garde artists as they moved through the city, encountering the marvelous, studying the environment, and re-enchanting the banal. Art historian Lori Waxman reveals the radical potential that walking holds for us all.

Le projet comme espoir. L’ouvrage se focalise sur le rôle du projet des villes et des territoires en tant qu'agent dans la construction sociale de l'espoir. Car, notre capacité de prévision d’un futur de plus en plus incertain se trouve limitée, comme le sont aussi, dans une société pluraliste, nos capacités individuelles et collectives de coordonner les actions de tous les sujets qui contribuent à la construction, à la transformation et à la modification de la ville. En revanche, et sans aucune certitude, nous pouvons proposer, de manière désenchantée, des « scénarios » comme autant de lignes possibles de raisonnement.

Summary:
Designers today are striving to transform our relationship with the natural world. Although humans are intrinsically linked to nature, our actions have frayed this relationship, forcing designers to think more intentionally and to consider the impact of every design decision, from an artifact's manufacture and use to its obsolescence. As a result, designers are aligning with biologists, engineers, agriculturists, environmentalists and many other specialists to design a more harmonious and regenerative future. Based on these new partnerships, designers are asking different questions and anticipating future challenges, which not only change the design process, but also what design means.

Summary:
Simpson describes the transformation of America from wilderness into an agrarian and suburban landscape as the nation expanded westward after the Revolution. He highlights the role of influential people in this transformation and the critical policies and programs they used to acquire, survey, and dispose of the public domain. He shows how their actions reflected changes in our traditional values that considered land as property and a commodity primarily for functional use. This transformation in values has yielded a landscape of contradictions: it is at once a landscape of freedom and opportunity, order and disorder, permanence and transience.
