Summary:
A hugely respected figure in Scottish photography, Douglas Corrance has spent the last six decades training his lens on interesting subjects here in Scotland and around the globe. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Douglas was a budding photographer who loved wandering the streets of Edinburgh in search of sights to document, This latest title, Douglas' fourth with Café Royal Books, takes us on a nostalgic trip back to the capital as it was in the days when milk deliveries were still hauled by horses and carefree children were forever out playing on the pavements. Across the 38 images contained in the photozine we're treated to the sight of ordinary scenes that have become extraordinary with the passing of the decades.

Summary:
It is not easy to name an architect who can invent as much, and as poetically and rigorously, as Kengo Kuma. This issue of AV Monographs takes stock of his firm’s extensive output of the past five years through 32 works and 8 projects, presenting them in five groups. From the New National Stadium of Japan which is nearing completion for the Olympic Games to the competition the studio won recently to extend the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, via works like the Victoria & Albert Museum in Scotland, the Cultural Village in the Portland Japanese Garden, the refurbishment of a traditional courtyard-house in Beijing or the Camper Store in Barcelona. This taxonomy gives a good idea of the scope of his ambition.
