Summary:
Interior architecture today operates at the intersection between physical and mediated spaces, such as those of mass communications, digital platforms or visual arts. Considering any form of representation as potentially architectural, from writing to photography, drawing to cinema, Javier Fernández Contreras traces the origins of this process of hybridisation between space and media back to the Renaissance and addresses the role of interiors as an experimental laboratory of late modernity. Combining historic scholarship with bold hypotheses, his essay explores contemporary interiors as platforms of ‘expanded media’, examining their belonging to different places and temporalities, whether physical or virtual, close or distant, ultimately reasserting the role of interior architecture in the construction of contemporaneity.

Summary:
Sigfried Giedion (1888–1968) and Carola Giedion-Welcker (1893–1979) were among the most influential scholars of art and architectural history during the early twentieth century. Of particular impact was their role in connecting leading protagonists of modernism in architecture, art, and literature, such as Alvar Aalto, Hans Arp, Constantin Brancusi, Marcel Breuer, Max Ernst, Walter Gropius, Barbara Hepworth, Le Corbusier, László Moholy-Nagy, Piet Mondrian, and Sophie Taeuber-Arp. The interactions they initiated, for example, on the new vision in photography or the synthesis of arts continue to be highly relevant to the present day. "The Giedion World" offers a long-awaited reevaluation of Sigfried and Carola Giedion-Welcker’s work and lasting significance.

Summary:
Joel Meyerowitz is most famous for pioneering the use of colour at a time when it was generally held that so-called ‘artistic’ photography could only be done in black and white. He is closely associated with Cape Cod, where he makes many of his still, contemplative images. He is also well known for his architectural photographs of The Arch in St. Louis. Yet he started off in the 1960s as a street photographer, following in the tradition of Robert Frank and Henri Cartier-Bresson. He spent a number of years taking pictures of the eventful life on New York’s streets. His sense of humour really comes through in his images and the absurdities he captures often make you laugh out loud. There are many of Meyerowitz’s own personal anecdotes in the commentaries.
