Summary:
In 1909 the French banker and philanthropist Albert Kahn launched a monumentally ambitious project : to produce a color photographic record of human life on Earth. An internationalist and pacifist, Kahn believed that he could use the new autochrome - the world's first portable, true-color photographic process - to create a global photographic archive that would promote cross-cultural understanding and peace. Over the next twenty years, he sent a group of photographers to more than fifty countries around the world, amassing more than 72,000 images. Until recently his collection was all but forgotten. Now, a century after he began his "Archives of the Planet" project, this book - richly illustrated in color throughout - and the BBC series it follows are bringing Kahn's early twentieth-century pictures to a wide audience for the first time, and putting color into what we usually think of as a monochrome world.

Summary:
For many, the idea of Space Architecture as a discipline lies in the domain of science fiction, where everything is possible simply because it happens "very far in the future". Is Space Architecture a fiction or reality? This book explores if and how architectural principles and strategies need to be transformed when applied to the extreme conditions of outer space. It presents concepts developed by great minds in the fields of space exploration and science-fiction, ones which can inspire new ways into the future. The book also presents the philosophy of Space Architecture, arguing for example that the design of space habitats needs to be human-centred while defining ways for humans to co-exist in new environments. These views are complemented by examples of architectures from current and planned space missions, organised by private companies as well as government agencies.

Summary:
''The Handbook for Social, Ecological and Existential Utopia'' is published on occasion of the exhibition ''Life on Planet Orsimanirana''. It understands itself as a 'collidoscope' of a decentralised, non-hierarchical and generative process of world building by a diverse group of local and international collectives, activists, artists and designers. It brings together these varying and divergent positions in a visual stream of consciousness. It thereby aims to lay a joyful groundwork to create the world we want to live – against the backdrop of the social, ecological and existential crises we face today – on a practical, imaginary as well as symbolic level.
