“Editing 'Desired Landscapes' has always been a long conversation, as I have been particularly interested not only in professional writers, but also in the rawness and unique viewpoints of creatives, amateurs, and tourists.

“Editing 'Desired Landscapes' has always been a long conversation, as I have been particularly interested not only in professional writers, but also in the rawness and unique viewpoints of creatives, amateurs, and tourists. We would spend hours defining the topic, crafting the angle, and refining the structure, searching for the most fitting way to convey a sense of place. The aim was always the same: to bring together a personal, sometimes emotional, reading of the city with a critical take, all written in everyday language. After eight years of one-on-one editing, I felt that it was time to open up this process to our readers, and bring such conversations under an educational framework, because, to me, editing is a form of thinking. That’s how the Desired Essays online writing workshop was born.'' This first edition of ''Desired Essays'' is an anthology of the stories that sparked conversations during the online writing workshops in 2025.

Young German photographer Arne Schmitt’s black-and-white depictions of Cologne’s urban architecture, old and new, harken back to the theme-oriented photo-books of the 1950s and ’60s, which functioned as both political and social critique.

Summary:
Young German photographer Arne Schmitt’s black-and-white depictions of Cologne’s urban architecture, old and new, harken back to the theme-oriented photo-books of the 1950s and ’60s, which functioned as both political and social critique. Schmitt focuses his camera on the urban fabric of Cologne created by neo-liberal policies after WWII, inspired by the physical collapse in 2009 of the Stadtarchiv, Europe’s largest and oldest historical city archive. Built in the 1970s, the Stadtarchiv’s structural failure could be seen as symbolic of the disastrous consequences of the neo-liberal economic policies in Germany, the U.S. and Britain that led to the 2008–9 global economic collapse. Critiques of neo-liberalism often run into difficulty because they lack a clearly defined object of focus. Faced with structural complexities, their analysis and criticism is often directed toward isolated instances. Schmitt confronts this political conversation with the resolutely straightforward approach of the documentary eye.

Summary:
Call Ampersand Response is a collaborative artwork made through an exchange of images via email. Between 2011 and 2017 Canadian artists Michael Dumontier and Micah Lexier conceived this activity as a way to share with each other their mutual interest in found images, line drawings and used books. The starting image was a circle on a rectangle; every subsequent image was visually connected to the previous one. It was understood from the outset that they had to use images that could be scanned from physical items they already had at home (no images from the internet), such as children's books, technical manuals and assorted ephemera. The call-and-response nature of the enterprise can be appreciated in the pairs of facing pages that present themselves as you go through the book. This second edition, expanding on the Nieves edition of 2013, includes the entire project of 196 exchanges that make up Dumontier and Lexier's clever, competitive, meandering conversation.

Summary:
Technology mediates how we know and experience cities, and the nature of this mediation has always been deeply political. Today, the production and deployment of data is at the forefront of projects to grasp and reshape urban life. ''Ways of knowing cities'' considers the role of technology in generating, materializing, and contesting urban epistemologies- tracing an arc from ubiquitous sites of ''smart'' urbanism, to discrete struggles over infrastructural governance, to forgotten histories of segregation now naturalized in urban algorithms, to exceptional territories of border policing. Bringing together architects, urbanists, artists, and scholars of critical migration studies, media theory, geography, anthropology, and literature, the essays stage a deeply interdisciplinary conversation, interrogating the ways in which certain ways of knowing are predicated on the erasure of others. In this opening, the book engages the information systems that structure urban space and social life in it, historically and in the present moment, to imagine alternative practices and generate new critical perspectives on spatial research.

Summary:
''Pairs'' is a student-led journal at the Harvard GSD dedicated to conversations about design that are down to earth and unguarded. Each issue is conceptualized by an editorial team that proposes guests and objects to be in dialogue with one another. ''Pairs'' is non-thematic, meant instead for provisional thoughts and ideas in progress. Each issue seeks to organize a diversity of threads and concerns that are perceived to be relevant to our moment. Thus, ''Pairs'' creates a space for understanding and a greater degree of exchange, both between the design disciplines and with a larger public. This inaugural issue of ''Pairs'' contains conversations with designers, academics and critics that take on the present from a variety of perspectives. There are reflections on major personal, disciplinary, or political turning points. There are reevaluations of moments in the past that shed light on social questions at the top of our minds. There are also discussions on gardening, book-making, publishing, and the conversation itself.

Summary:
Cette publication est conçue comme une extension de l'exposition « Etwas mehr als Arbeit », présentée au Kunstverein Göttingen en 2020. Dans l'exposition, le projet de recherche « Object Notes » de Malte Roloff et Santiago da Silva en collaboration avec la commissaire Tomke Braun présente des constellations d'objets, de matériaux, de processus et de documents issus de l'art et du design, de la production artistique et de la restauration. Le projet explore l'idée de fabrication comme point d'entrée à la question de savoir qui, comment et dans quelles conditions l'art contemporain est produit. Il examine l'utilisation et la signification de l'artisanat et du travail dans l'art contemporain et la manière dont la connaissance de sa production affecte sa perception. La publication présente différentes contributions des participants au projet. Les formats vont des encarts de pages volantes, de la fiction littéraire et d'une conversation à un essai spécialement commandé à l'historienne du design britannique Tanya Harrod.

Summary:
The Bauhaus, the school of art and design founded in Germany in 1919 and shut down by the Nazis in 1933, brought together artists, architects and designers--among them Anni and Josef Albers, Herbert Bayer, Marcel Breuer, Lyonel Feininger, Walter Gropius, Johannes Itten, Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Lilly Reich, Oskar Schlemmer, Gunta Stolzl--in an extraordinary conversation on the nature of art in the industrial age. Bauhaus 1919-1933: Workshops for Modernity, published to accompany a major multimedia exhibition offers a new generational perspective on the twentieth century's most influential experiment in artistic education. Organized in collaboration with the three major Bauhaus collections in Germany, this book examines the extraordinarily broad spectrum of the school's products, including industrial design, furniture, architecture, graphics, photography, textiles, ceramics, theater and costume design, painting and sculpture. Many of the objects discussed and illustrated here have rarely if ever been seen or published outside Germany.

Summary:
Mentor to a generation of Californian Conceptualists and performance artists, Guy de Cointet (1934-1983) took language as a material from which to generate drawings, plays and performances. De Cointet collected phrases, words and even single letters culled from popular culture and literary sources, and scripted them as dialogues or props for plays inspired by the writings and homonymic compositional methods of Raymond Roussel: in the 1976 play "At Sunrise... A Cry Was Heard," for example, a large painting depicting letters bisected by a white sash provides the dialogue of the lead actress, who recites its jumble of letters as if it were ordinary conversation. His drawings were often generated by geometric erasures of found text, leaving behind Concrete-style abstract patterns. A formative figure for Mike Kelley and Paul McCarthy during his tenure at the Otis Art institute, de Cointet is today in the process of being rediscovered; this timely monograph is the first overview of his enigmatic and influential oeuvre.

Summary:
Since the so-called dematerialization of currencies and art practices in the late 1960s and early 1970, we have witnessed a move into what Joshua Simon calls an economy of neomaterialism. With this, several shifts have occurred: the focus of labor has moved from production to consumption, the commodity has become the historical subject, and symbols now behave like materials. Neomaterialism explores the meaning of the world of commodities, and reintroduces various notions of dialectical materialism into the conversation on the subjectivity and vitalism of things. Here, Simon advocates for the unreadymade, sentimental value, and the promise of the dividual as a means for a vocabulary in this new economy of meaning. Reflecting on general intellect as labor and the subjugation of an overqualified generation to the neofeudal order of debt finance—with a particular focus on dispossession and rent economy, post-appropriation display strategies and negation, the barricade and capital’s technocratic fascisms—Neomaterialism merges traditions of epic communism with the communism that is already here.
