Summary:
Firminy is a small French mining town, and is the site of the largest collection of Le Corbusier’s architecture outside of Chandigarh, India. Monumental in scale and civic ambition at its inception, the development at Firminy followed Le Corbusier’s concept of La Ville Radieuse (the Radiant City). The buildings at Firminy were never completed due to local industrial decline, and in recent years have suffered from political manipulation and physical neglect. The current state of the site is documented in Arni Haraldsson’s photographic series from 1999. Using a historically minded and architecturally oriented curiosity, Haraldsson sets these buildings and their modernist utopianism within the frame of the local inhabitants’ conviction of the social and historical value of Corbusier’s life and work.

Summary:
"The matter of time" documents Serra’s recent commission by the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao of seven monumental sculptures for the largest gallery of the museum. Together with Snake (1994–97), the work that Serra created for the museum’s grand opening, the sculptures create a permanent, site-specific installation of a scale and ambition unrivalled in modern history. Through a revealing interview-essay by Hal Foster, and writings and statements by the artist about his recent series Torqued Ellipses and the present, unprecedented commission, the book discloses the last 25 years of this sculptor’s oeuvre and the evolution of his sculptural vocabulary as it relates to this installation. Other writings by Carmen Giménez and a chronology by Kate Nesin help contextualize Serra’s work.

Summary:
The firm Christoph Hesse Architects addresses the challenges of rural areas by questioning and reinterpreting traditional structures of villages and landscapes in unconventional ways. Raised on a farm in the Hochsauerland region of Germany, Christoph Hesse brings his deep connection to nature and agricultural life to the projects, which are often developed in collaboration with local and international partners. Focusing on five central themes, "Rural rebellion" presents a selection of spatial interventions through striking models, large-scale panoramic drawings, films, portrait photos and statements by the "Rural rebels". The exhibition illustrates how the projects create social, environmental and economical focal points, enabling a future-oriented transformation – one that not only improves life in the countryside, but also redefines it as a source of innovation and societal progress.

In London, the Swiss Re headquarters - the capital's first ecological tall building - has become a popular landmark, while the arch of the new Wembley Stadium is already a familiar element on the skyline. This new catalogue documents the practice's work over the last four decades. While detailed descriptions of more than eighty buildings and projects, it offers a comprehensive survey of the practice's diverse activities as urban planners, architects and industrial designers, covering a spectrum from the scale of the city masterplan to the detail of a door handle. It includes designs for airports, railway stations, brigdes, museums, schools, universities, offices, private houses, furniture and products.

This systematically organized book is divided into sections on materials, building components, building types, case studies and a catalog of components, all drawn to a common scale, providing everything the professional or the student might need to transform their designs into built projects. Underlying this practical book is a respect for the primacy of design, the belief that building is not simply a fact of engineering or technology, but the translation and culmination of a creative act that can only be successfully completed if the technical principles of construction are well understood.

The large-sized volume features floor plans, sections, and elevations, all newly redrawn matching the scale of Shinohara’s originals, as well as reproductions of his hand drawings and archival photographs. Contributions by architectural historian David B. Stewart (1942–2025), who taught alongside Shinohara as professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, and architect Shin-ichi Okuyama (born 1961) place the three private homes within his oeuvre and offer insights into his particular working methods. A foreword by Ryue Nishizawa, cofounder of SANAA and 2010 Pritzker Prize laureate, highlights Shinohara’s lasting significance and influence on contemporary architecture in Japan.

From the ice fields of Patagonia and the peaks of the Himalayas to the vast shelves of Antarctica and the volcanic flanks of Kamchatka, these images record the forms, textures, and scale of glacial landscapes around the world. Shot in Salgado’s large-format, black-and-white style, the photographs emphasize the physical presence of ice—its ridges, fractures, density, and drift. Light and shadow reveal the structural complexity of each scene, from massive crevasses to the delicate patterns of wind-swept snow. An essay by climate scientist Elisa Palazzi examines the science of glacier formation, transformation, and decline.
