Summary:
For the past thirty years, Japanese photographer Naoya Hatakeyama has undertaken a photographic examination of the life of cities and the built environment. Each of his series focuses on a different facet of the growth and transformation of the urban landscape—from studies of architectural maquettes to the extraction and use of natural materials such as limestone, as it is quarried via explosive blasts and subsequently incorporated into the construction of new buildings.These photographs hauntingly embody the death and rebirth of the city, manifesting a deeply personal connection to the ongoing intersection of geology, architecture, and time.

Summary:
Dag Nordbrenden’s publication ''Arituba Spa Center'' is a photographic study of an unfinished and broken-down Brazilian apartment complex in massive concrete architecture. The plan was to build holiday apartments, but the project came to grief in 2008 as a result of the financial crisis and money-laundering scandals in which Norwegian investors and developers were also involved. In that sense the pictures reflect economic decline as well as architectural collapse. The intended holiday idyll has become an image of global economic hubris. Nordbrenden has gone into this material wasteland with an awareness of photography’s long love affair with the aesthetic of decay.

Summary:
The precision of the camera lens shows images of a city – one of the most populated metropolitan areas in the world – expanding and thinning away to incorporate the surrounding hillsides. An ever-present mist, the steep outline of the horizon and the light that evaporates from the illuminated roads create a backdrop for the city’s architectural landscape: the anonymous verticality of new tower blocks and the overcrowded horizontal lines of never ending suburbs. This book is published on the occasion of the exhibition of Gabriele Basilico, Istanbul 05 010, and includes a text by Luca Doninelli.

Summary:
In 1955, Swiss architect Dolf Schnebli and his wife, Clarissa, climbed into a VW Beetle and spent a year on an overland trek from Venice to India and back. The world was a lot bigger place when Schnebli took off on this ''slow journey'' to study architectural history, especially the urban development of old cities, ruins and excavations. Now, more than fifty years after his trip, Schnebli's black and white photos are being published for the first time after gathering dust for decades as contact prints in his sketchbooks.
