Summary:
"Matchibako" depicts Japan's swift transformation into an industrial empire in the early 20th century, as illustrated in the infinitesimal advertisements on matchboxes from the period. In an uncertain society and its changing leisure market, matches joined cigarettes in Western-style hotels and cafes, and in sushi bars next door. Patrons might be found in Western dress(...)

Summary:

In an uncertain society and its changing leisure market, matches joined cigarettes in Western-style hotels and cafes, and in sushi bars next door. Patrons might be found in Western dress or traditional kimono, debating Marx or the latest silent film, but all saw themselves reflected in the new graphism. Although most were anonymously designed, these tiny remainders alternately show the influence of Cubism and the Bauhaus in illustration and English type, and retain conventional wood block fonts and right-to-left Japanese text.

Summary:
Focusing on Los Angeles, this book looks at urban transformation through the architecture and land development of large-scale residential projects. The author demonstrates the inherent instability of very large sites. Cuff explores five cases that span the period from the 1930s, when federal support for slum clearance and public housing caused convulsions near downtown, to a huge 1990s mixed-use development on one of Los Angeles' last remaining wetlands. The story takes us from the refined modernist architecture of Richard Neutra to the self-conscious populism of the New Urbanism. The cases illuminate the relationship of housing architecture to issues of race, class, urban design, geography, and political ideology.

Rome, the"Eternal City", is a unique palimpsest dating back to Antiquity. However, beyond the historic center built over millennia on the famous seven hills - another Rome exists, one of large and often stunning modern neighborhoods, housing estates, schools, and public buildings.

Summary:
Rome, the"Eternal City", is a unique palimpsest dating back to Antiquity. However, beyond the historic center built over millennia on the famous seven hills - another Rome exists, one of large and often stunning modern neighborhoods, housing estates, schools, and public buildings. When Rome became Italy's capital in 1871, the population increased extensively and the city exceeded its boundaries since Roman times, the Aurelian Walls. This extraordinary transformation laid the foundation for many new quarters built to accommodate civil servants and rural migrants, drawing on vernacular and ancient Roman traditions and blending past and present. This book looks at Rome's evolution and architecture from the 19th century onwards.

La priorité donnée aux vertus écologiques du réemploi, qui s'est récemment greffée sur le souci fondateur de la préservation du patrimoine. Ancienne abbatiale, piscine municipale, gare désaffectée, entrepôts industriels à l'abandon, usines, moulins et ateliers à l'arrêt : la destruction est la solution d'une époque révolue ; paradoxalement rétrograde. L'auteur de cet ouvrage, acteur de la transformation de la gare d'Orsay en musée, et concepteur entre autres de La Piscine à Roubaix et du musée de Valence, a été l'un des pionniers en France de la métamorphose architecturale.

Summary:
For more than twenty years, Armin Linke has been photographing the effects of globalization, the wholesale transformation of infrastructures, and the networking of the post-industrial society via digital information and communication technologies. His photographs show that the modern world is a massive profusion of data, where the material infrastructures, consisting of computer centres, data highways, and server rooms, are largely invisible. For The Appearance of That Which Cannot Be Seen, Linke invited scientists and theoreticians to examine his picture archive. Ariella Azoulay, Bruno Latour, Peter Weibel, Mark Wigley, and Jan Zalasiewicz made a selection of images and in the process opened up Linke’s photos to a variety of different readings.
