Bunpei Yorifuji propose dans ce petit livre une méthode d’apprentissage du dessin décalée et anticonformiste, pour apprendre facilement à regarder et représenter le monde qui nous entoure. Pour cet illustrateur japonais adepte du Rakugaki, dessin et imagination sont intimement liés. Cependant, la clef du succès se trouve avant tout dans notre capacité à être attentif aux formes et aux détails du monde qui nous entoure afin de reproduire, avec des dessins les plus petits et détaillés possibles, l’univers dans toute son immensité. Le trait minimaliste de l’auteur, et son sens de l’humour décapant, sont mis au service d’un véritable tour de force, où l’on apprend autant à tracer un trait qu’à mettre en scène son propre univers en miniature.

Proposed in 1895 by Proust to the newspaper Revue hebdomadaire (it was rejected), this essay is much more than a straightforward piece of art criticism. It is a literary experiment in which an unnamed narrator gives advice to a young man suffering from melancholy, taking him on an imaginary tour through the Louvre where his readings of Chardin imbue the everyday world with new meaning, and his ruminations on Rembrandt take his melancholic pupil beyond the realm of mere objects.

With a foreword by Heiner Muehlmann and the project '5 codes: space of conflict (tempel of Janus revisited, Washington D.C., 2009' by Exit Ltd. 'First we shape things, then they shape us', was Churchill's view. What kind of architecture can be said to shape? And by what means does it shape? The author's answer to this question is a surprise: through war and proximity to stress. After a tour d'horizon through Roman temples, Washington's corridors of power and Mecca's anti-panic architecture it becomes clear that architecture is anything but in the background. Instead it is situated in the hot spot of transmission dynamics and is capable of altering cultures, empires and even religions.

Rooted in the ambition to end slum living, and the ideals of those who would build a new society, "Municipal Dreams" looks at how the state’s duty to house its people decently became central to our politics.

He asks us to understand their complex story and to rethink our prejudices.

Summary:
As people make considered choices about their own lives and deaths, cremation has become an increasingly popular option in Europe, representing a recent but accelerating change in funerary practices. What do these spaces actually look like? What role does architecture play in these rituals? Considering precisely these questions, the authors of ''Goodbye Architecture'' embarked on a unique tour of European architecture. For the first time, the spaces and practices of cremation- the sites of some of our deepest desires and fears about life and death- receive serious architectural consideration. A wide range of facilities are documented in this volume with extensive illustrations and analyses, providing a glimpse of an essential architecture often hidden in plain sight.
