Both as stand-alone aesthetic objects and as symbols of broader cultural significance, trees have an understated, sometimes underappreciated, ability to evoke a deep, primal sense of wonder.

Summary:
Wild or cultivated, rural or urban, solitary or within a forest, trees have long provided a compelling source of inspiration for artists and photographers alike. Both as stand-alone aesthetic objects and as symbols of broader cultural significance, trees have an understated, sometimes underappreciated, ability to evoke a deep, primal sense of wonder. Whether captured as functional botanical records or as a means of creative expression, "Into the Woods" is an introduction to the ways in which distinctive patterns of branch, bark, leaf, and root have continued to offer arresting subjects for photographers across the centuries.

Summary:
This book documents a residency research project (2007–2017) founded by viaindustriae, a cultural non-profit organization and a collective that aims at investigating the intermediate territories between art and architecture, new forms of communication, and activating the artistic message through different methods. Initially based on specific research into a marginal and radical rural-mountain landscape in Umbria that used "hypertextual" methods and projects to draw links between different sites and "thematic" landscapes, the outcome is a broad investigation, exhibition, and catalogue on public spaces, site-specific art practices, and interventions on landscape in Italy and beyond.

Summary:
"Si la notion de paysage mérite d'être honorée, c'est essentiellement parce qu'elle nous rappelle que cette terre, la nôtre, que nos pays sont à regarder, à retrouver, qu'ils doivent s'accorder à notre chair, gorger nos sens, répondre de la façon la plus harmonieuse qui soit à notre attente." A sa manière, mêlant philosophie, littérature et ethnologie, croquis et(...)

A sa manière, mêlant philosophie, littérature et ethnologie, croquis et anecdotes personnelles, Pierre Sansot fait du paysage la géographie sentimentale et sensuelle: paysage dont on admire la beauté, paysage que l'on traverse, paysage qui nous affecte, paysage que l'on écoute, paysage que l'on habite, paysage rural ou paysage urbain...

Summary:
Arcadia is an expansive collection of contemporary alpine and backcountry architecture and interior design. The book profiles architects and designers who are embracing nature and creating provocative rural hideaways that adapt to their surrounding habitats and their topographical and climatic conditions. It features both traditional and progressive examples of private mountaintop homes and hotel lodges nestled in the forest landscape as well as bespoke furniture and interior designs inspired by nature and folklore. Arcadia is an inspiring reference that shows how the archaic idea of life in harmony with nature can be reflected in contemporary living.

Extension du domaine de l’urbanisme porte le message de Frédéric Bonnet, Grand Prix de l’urbanisme 2014, pour offrir stratégie et qualité urbaine à tous les territoires. Penser le rural comme l’urbain, les lisières de ville, la nature comme structure de l’urbanité et comme support des déplacements doux, la contrainte des risques comme moteur d’une amélioration incrémentale du territoire. Faire en sorte que toute action architecturale serve l’urbain, que la difficulté soit le prétexte à inventer d’autres manières de penser le projet, économe, frugal parfois, mais toujours efficace pour que la durabilité devienne source d’inventivité et de plaisir.

Summary:
In architecture, as in food, local is an idea whose time has come. Of course, the idea of an architecture that responds to site; draws on local building traditions, materials, and crafts; and strives to create a sense of community is not new. Yet, the way it has evolved in the past few years is indeed defining a new movement. From the rammed-earth houses of Rick Joy and(...)

Summary:
In architecture, as in food, local is an idea whose time has come. Of course, the idea of an architecture that responds to site; draws on local building traditions, materials, and crafts; and strives to create a sense of community is not new. Yet, the way it has evolved in the past few years is indeed defining a new movement. From the rammed-earth houses of Rick Joy and Pacific Northwest timber houses of Tom Kundig, to the community-built structures of Rural Studio and Francis Kere, designers everywhere are championing an architecture that exists from, in, and for a specific place.

This book examines the career of New York-based artist Sherrie Levine, whose 1981 series of photographs "after Walker Evans"--taken not from life but from Evans's famous depression-era documents of rural Alabama--became central examples in theorizing postmodernism in the visual arts in the 1980s. For the first in-depth examination of Levine, Howard Singerman surveys a(...)

Summary:
This book examines the career of New York-based artist Sherrie Levine, whose 1981 series of photographs "after Walker Evans"--taken not from life but from Evans's famous depression-era documents of rural Alabama--became central examples in theorizing postmodernism in the visual arts in the 1980s. For the first in-depth examination of Levine, Howard Singerman surveys a broad range of sources, both historical and theoretical, to assess an artist whose work was understood from the outset to challenge both the label "artist" and the idea of oeuvre--and who has over the past three decades crafted a significant oeuvre of her own.
