Summary:
How does media architecture distribute suspicion and trust? What is a collage of media architecture? How is media architecture vectored? How can media architecture address privilege? These questions and conceptual provocations aim to challenge the binary of techno-optimism and technological agoraphobia, offering a platform for developing new, critically and contextually rooted theories that media architecture might grab hold of. Intentionally open-ended, ''Provocations on Media Architecture'' brings together 21 thought leaders across architecture, visual arts, design, curation, academia and public policy to address these ideas and themes. Authors respond with images and brief texts incorporating the perspective of their own creative and scholarly practice. Entries range from descriptions of relevant artworks and design projects to reflections spawned from first-person encounters with media architecture in situ, scholarly analyses and AI-assisted theory.

Brazil's Modern Architecture
$49.95
(available to order)
Summary:
Brazil's architecture is strikingly distinct from Latin America as a whole and diverse in itself. Yet coverage of the architecture of twentieth-century Brazil is all too often confined to the work of one man (Oscar Niemeyer) or the buildings of two cities (Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo). In Brazil's Modern Architecture, a new generation of Brazilian cities and historians(...)

Summary:
Ce livre s'attache à démontrer que l'architecture grecque classique ne résulte pas d'un ensemble de règles pédantes réfractaires à toute nouveauté, mais d'une dynamique innovante, qui a conservé sa capacité à nourrir les recherches de la modernité. Synthèse d'un répertoire de formes empruntées à l'ensemble du bassin méditerranéen, les monuments et sites de l'Antiquité grecque sont ici évoqués à travers des photographies d'archives, des prises de vue récentes, des dessins et des plans. Le texte donne les clefs nécessaires à la compréhension des structures formelles, des principes artistiques et des concepts qui ont donné naissance à une série d'inventions dont la valeur universelle continue de fasciner l'époque contemporaine Le Corbusier ne parlait pas sans raison de " l'esprit révolutionnaire " du Parthénon.

Summary:
The texts included in this book present five architectural designs realized by Vera Buhß, Giacomo Gianetta, Konstantin Schimanowski, Katharina Schmidt, and Sum-Sum Shen. Instead of being generated and displayed in graphic media and approaching the object of design visually, these architectural environments have been conceived through auditory and literary practices. The designs presented in this book provide accessibility to new architectural entities not by showing their constructive conditions of emergence, but instead by describing the emergent qualities that configure them as environments. Alex Arteaga’s research integrates aesthetic and philosophical practices relating to the emergence of sense and knowledge, architectural and art practices through phenomenological and enactivist approaches. He studied piano, music theory, composition, electroacoustic music, and architecture in Berlin and Barcelona, and received a PhD in philosophy from the Humboldt University. He heads the Auditory Architecture Research at the Berlin University of the Arts. Boris Hassenstein runs his architectural studio based in Berlin. A strong focus of his work is set on the aspects of construction as a process and collaboration in the genesis of architecture. He studied architecture in Berlin. Currently he teaches at the MA Sound Studies and Sonic Arts at the Berlin University of the Arts and is a member of the Auditory Architecture Research Unit at the Berlin University of the Arts.
