Summary:
''Real estate opportunities'' continues Japanese photographer Takashi Homma’s homage series to the influential American artist Ed Ruscha, following similar photobooks by Homma such as ''Every building on the Ginza street,'' ''Royal road test,'' ''Babycakes,'' and ''Twenty-six gasoline stations.'' Ruscha’s original ''Real estate opportunities'' series was published in 1970 and featured photographs of empty building lots for sale in Los Angeles. For his tribute, Homma (together with series collaborators Yoshihisa Tanaka and Yusuke Nakajima) photographed empty lots in and around Tokyo. Its design and size carefully replicating Ruscha’s original, Homma’s photobook possesses a charm of its own as it captures the strange optimism and sense of possibility of these negative spaces within Tokyo’s dense architectural sprawl.

Summary:
The Joan Miró Foundation opened in 1975, becoming Barcelona's first public institution to focus entirely on contemporary art. The architect Josep Lluís Sert designed the Foundation's building with clean, airy white shapes of curves and corners and multiple skylights, creating a decidedly Mediterranean-flavored complex arranged around a central patio, with expansive roof terraces above. (Two subsequent expansions to the building were designed by Jaume Freixa, a pupil and longtime colleague of Sert's.) After the first major retrospective of Miró's work occurred in Barcelona in 1968, the artist decided to set up a building to make his work and the work of other contemporary artists permanently accessible to the public. To design the foundation's home, he tapped his old friend Sert, a pioneer in the introduction of modern architecture in Catalonia, who had first met Miró in 1932 and worked with him on the Spanish (Republican) Pavilion at the Paris World Fair in 1937. This volume, one of a series of monographs on new museum architecture, provides a careful look at the design of one of Europe's premier art institutions, and includes an interview with the architects responsible for the recent expansions.

Issue no. 7 features interviews with architects, designers and active craftspeople from fields such as blacksmithing, bricklaying, carpentry and thatching. They all have a keen focus on the high carbon footprint of the construction industry and of the need to find solutions. The reduction of CO2 emissions is also a key issue when the bookazine takes the reader behind the scenes of the development of wall tiles with a high content of crushed, used bricks. As usual, this issue of the bookazine also includes stories about textiles, glassware, food and drink.

Il s’éprouve notamment à travers l’utilisation des plateformes, des moteurs de recherche et de la téléphonie mobile. Pour qualifier ce déploiement technique et économique, la notion de «?service?» est continuellement convoquée. Mais comment caractériser le pouvoir de transformation du numérique sur notre manière d’être au monde?? Comment l’idée, qui fut celle du design moderne, de chercher à mettre des formes au monde, peut-elle s’en accommoder?? En revenant notamment sur le travail de Walter Gropius et Louis Sullivan, Pierre-Damien Huyghe montre qu’il nous faut désormais affronter un risque nouveau?: celui de la perversité d’objets à double sens, ou à double fonction.

Summary:
In the post-war decades, Hong Kong architects, many of them having migrated from Mainland China or studied overseas, embraced modern principles when forced to face the problems of housing shortage, mass construction and limited budgets. Although economic efficiencies often prevailed over design, their buildings were rooted in their time and place, reflecting the local climate, social values, materials, technique and use in an often unique and pragmatic fashion. With more than 300 buildings and ensembles documented, the new publication ''Hong Kong modern architecture of the 1950s-1970s'' by Walter Koditek gives a comprehensive overview on the architecture of that transformative period in combining full-page photographs with detailed background information and further b/w images explaining and illustrating the design and history of these buildings.

Summary:
Ever since anonymous spray-can art began appearing on city walls in New York and Philadelphia in the late 1960s, graffiti has been a ubiquitous presence in the urban landscape, its artists largely unsung heroes. As hip-hop culture spread from America, graffiti became a worldwide phenomenon, emerging in the 1980s as the symbolic artistic language of young people everywhere and one of the most potent influences on youth-oriented marketing and design. With more than 2,000 illustrations by over 150 artists from all over the world and interviews with many of them, this book is the most comprehensive survey of graffiti art ever published. Today's young graffiti artists incorporate a variety of mediums—including stickers, stencils, oils, acrylics, and oil-based chalk—as well as an ever-expanding range of social commentary. This evolution in style and subject matter has earned graffiti the respect of the art world and guaranteed its long-lasting influence on art, graphic design, and style around the world.

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.
