Summary:
Zaha Hadid's highly inventive and seemingly unbuildable designs have defied conventional ideas of architectural space and construction. The BMW Central Building in Leipzig, Germany, is no exception. It is the heart of the BMW factory complex—the dynamic focal point of the entire plant that visually, physically, and experientially sustains a sense of animation and motion. With an audacious and abstracted geometry of forms and lines, the BMW Central Building challenges the notion of building as static and is definitive evidence of architecture as art. Zaha Hadid: BMW Central Building, the seventh volume in the Source Books in Architecture series, provides a comprehensive look at this instant modern masterpiece.

Summary:
Through eight thematic case studies that illuminate what eco art means in practice, reception, and history, Cheetham places the form in a longer and broader art-historical context. He considers a wide range of media—from painting, sculpture, and photography to artists’ films, video, sound work, animation, and installation—and analyzes the work of internationally prominent artists such as Olafur Eliasson, Nancy Holt, Mark Dion, and Robert Smithson. In doing so, Cheetham reveals eco art to be a dynamic extension of a long tradition of landscape depiction in the West that boldly enters into today’s debates on climate science, government policy, and our collective and individual responsibility to the planet.

Summary:
Première monographie dédiée aux mondes oniriques miniatures créés par les animations délicates du jeune artiste vidéaste japonais, avec un essai et un entretien. Hiraki Sawa uses lo-tech video animation to create poetic dreamscapes, ruminations on ideas of time and motion, innocence and alienation, dislocation and displacement. His seminal film ‘Dwelling’ was made while he was still a graduate student at the Slade School of Fine Art and brought him to the attention of the international art world. Certain leitmotifs recur throughout the films – a child’s rocking horse, migrating animals, model jet planes, objects which play out notions of travel and nomadism, of being at home and thinking of elsewhere.
