Summary:
Depuis l'Hormonorium à la Biennale de Venise de 2002, où les Lausannois Décosterd & Rahm avaient rafraîchi la lagune par un climat artificiel des Alpes, le néomodernisme de Philippe Rahm s'est maintes fois reconfiguré. Les premiers effets du réchauffement climatique et des pandémies ont ainsi transformé l'historiographie environnementale de ce qui, chez lui, faisait l'architecture : un abri individuel ; une symbolicité socio-politique limitée ; à tout le moins une pure solution écotechnique et « objective ». Le présent recueil rassemble une trentaine de contributions contemporaines de ses projets urbains pour Taichung, Milan ou La Défense. Toujours à l'affût des météores changeants de l'époque, l'auteur esquisse ce que pourrait bien devenir un « Monde d'Après ».

Summary:
En 1981, le designer italien Ettore Sottsass, sorti de l’aventure du studio Alchymia, fédère autour de lui un collectif de jeunes architectes et designers afin de faire voler en éclats les codes de la modernité. La première exposition de Memphis à Milan, en 1981, fait l’effet d’une bombe dans le paysage européen du design, et renouvelle radicalement le langage des formes et des couleurs. Ce livre revient, à l’occasion de l’exposition au madd-bordeaux, sur la genèse de ce mouvement qui a remis la culture démocratique au coeur du design et a réintégré avec un humour irrévérencieux dans ses codes l’ornement et la décoration.

Summary:
''Italian Views'' is a continuation of Gail Albert Halaban's series ''Out My Window'', featuring intimate domestic portraits against the cinematic backdrop of the city. In this new chapter, the artist shifts her focus from Paris to Italy- steadying her gaze through the windows of others in communities throughout Florence, Milan, Venice, Palermo, Naples, Lucca, and Rome. Albert Halaban works with local residents to stage and collaborate on each portrait, and through her lens, the viewer is welcomed into the private lives of ordinary Italian people. Her photographs explore the conventions and tensions of urban lifestyles, feelings of isolation in the city, and the intimacies of home and daily life.

Summary:
The extravagant villas designed between the 1960s and 1980s by Italian architect Mario Galvagni (1928-2020) for prosperous Lombard families. Suspended shell structures, underground living rooms and luminous domes. On the Lombard plain between the Ticino valley and the industrial outskirts of Milan, ensconced amid fields of crops, lies Inveruno, home to the architecture of Mario Galvagni, designed between the 1960s and 1980s for local industrial families. These villas would host large dinner parties and masked balls, as captured in the photographs unearthed from Gianni Saracchi's archive. Each house is unique while still sharing something with the others: each is a temple where the industrious Lombard lives with his family and hosts fruitful business meetings.
