Summary:
Coinciding with the exhibition of the same name at the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche at the Palazzo Ducale in Urbino, eight internationally-renowned photographers describe Giancarlo De Carlo's work in Urbino. They are also professors at Istituto Superiore per le Industrie Artistiche. Paola Binante, Luca Capuano, Mario Cresci, Paola De Pietri, Jason Fulford, Stefano Graziani, Armin Linke, and Giovanna Silva explore and recount the essence of the Italian architect's work through their own photographs of the spaces he designed, adding written accounts of their interpretation. De Carlo is quoted as saying a place is a space "experienced, consumed, perennially transformed by human presence".

Summary:
Giancarlo de Carlo first visited Urbino in 1951 to carry out a minor refurbishment of the offices of the rector of the University. This was the beginning of his lifetime engagement with the small town where he continued working over the next five decades. This book is part of the "Everything without content" series by Kersten Geers, Jelena Pancevac and Joris Kritis, and it presents the work Giancarlo de Carlo built in Urbino in the 1960s and 70s, in the shadow of his involvement in Team 10 debates that challenged modernist doctrines on architecture and urbanism. The eight buildings in this book are presented in drawings by students of the Academy of Architecture USI, Mendriso, and photographs by Stefano Graziani.

Summary:
Superstudio (1966–86), a group of Florence-based architects comprising Adolfo Natalini, Cristiano Toraldo di Francia, Roberto Magris, Gian Piero Frassinelli, Alessandro Magris and, from 1970 to 1972, Alessandro Poli, were among the leading radical architects of the 1960s. Almost 50 years after the group’s establishment, their designs are gathered for the first time in this volume, which contextualizes the firm’s works with that of contemporary artists, including Danai Anesiadou, Alexandra Bachzetsis, Ila Beka and Louise Lemoine, Pablo Bronstein and Stefano Graziani, among many others. This catalogue compiles Superstudio’s documents—including images, collages, critical writings and storyboards—drawn from the archive, and includes critical contributions from curators Andreas Angelidakis, Vittorio Pizzigoni and Valer Scelsi. Super Superstudio is an important tribute to an assault on modernism, that, as the volume reveals, remained and remains relevant for generations to come.

Summary:
Charleroi, the denigrated capital of the Belgian hinterland, is the unlikely new paradigm for a contemporary city. What seems an incoherent jumble of manmade exuberance—a byproduct of modernity, really—transcends the infamous architectural dichotomy between the centre and the periphery. This is the Large City; dispersed and decentralised, it embraces its post-industrial condition. An artificial nature where zero-kilometre food production, electric bikes and trail running enable everyone to live large. Without nostalgia for its industrial ruins, nor contempt for modernity, the city was the subject of a year-long studio led by Kersten Geers at the Academy of Architecture USI in Mendrisio. As a form of “applied theory”, the book presents students’ projects—an imaginary city—coupled with some real projects: Megafactory by OFFICE and Palais des Expositions by Architecten Jan de Vylder Inge Vinck & AgwA. The book features photographs of Charleroi by Stefano Graziani.

Summary:
Aglaia Konrad’s work often takes the form of a book, each conceived as an edited archive of the ways in which she uses photography to investigate urban landscapes. Two of her book projects were part of "The lives of documents—Photography as project", the project curated by Stefano Graziani and Bas Princen, and it was while putting this exhibition together that Konrad shared her enthusiasm after researching the work of five women that conceived several residential neighbourhoods in Warsaw after the Second World War and redefined the city as a green haven. If the two book projects she presented in our exhibition—Atlas (2000) and Copy Cities (2003–2004)—brought together multiple fragments of her extensive and systematic documentary work on cities, her survey of the work of Alina Scholtz, Barbara Brukalska, Halina Skibniewska, Helena Syrkus, and Zofia Hansen leads now to a travel diary that reflects on the role of architecture and landscape architecture in defining places of bonding and belonging.
