Summary:
In the form of a dystopian fable describing the world after the advent of AI, "The third atlas" goes beyond the astonishment or rejection aroused by these images of a new kind. It is a reflection on the way in which artificial intelligence calls into question our way of seeing and, beyond that, our perception of the real, leading us to formulate the hypothesis that this(...)

Summary:
In the form of a dystopian fable describing the world after the advent of AI, "The third atlas" goes beyond the astonishment or rejection aroused by these images of a new kind. It is a reflection on the way in which artificial intelligence calls into question our way of seeing and, beyond that, our perception of the real, leading us to formulate the hypothesis that this modified vision will shape the future forms of architecture, but also of design, sculpture and painting, perhaps even more than those of photography.

Summary:
This little book paints a portrait of BAST, an acronym for "Bureau d'Architecture Sans Titre" (Untitled Architecture Office), through 20 identical questions asked to 20 people selected from among the clients, service providers and collaborators of the Toulouse-based agency. Through the answers, sometimes terse, sometimes prolix, grouped together and organised according to a simple principle (one page, one answer), a profile of the agency emerges: positioning, method, qualities, faults... which allows us to better understand its approach, but also the environment and the crisis era in which it is embedded.

From the Apartheid wall in Palestine to the digital paywall, from memorial murals in Jamaica to the increasingly tall glass facades of modern office blocks, walls testify to the tumult of history and humanity’s ceaseless urge to communicate and to sow division. They force us to reflect on the paradoxes of openness and isolation, of enclosure and exclusion. In a world drowning in borders, barriers and barbed-wire fences, this issue of MacGuffin pauses for thought and asks: What exactly do we want to express or protect? And why?

Of all the elements in nature, none is more life affirming than water. We’re born into this wonderful world after swimming in the mysterious elixir for nine months, and then we spend the rest of our days seeking out its sustaining powers. When you consider that two-thirds of our bodies are comprised of water, it’s no wonder we are so drawn to it. And when nature doesn’t place water where we can easily access it, we have no problem bringing water to us in the form of luxurious swimming pools and hot tubs.

In "Why Things Break," Mark E. Eberhart leads us on a remarkable and entertaining exploration of all the cracks, clefts, fissures, and faults examined in the field of materials science and the many astonishing discoveries that have been made about everything from the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger to the crashing of your hard drive. Understanding why things break is crucial to modern life on every level, from personal safety to macroeconomics, but as Eberhart reveals here, it is also an area of cutting-edge science that is as provocative as it is illuminating.

Summary:
The past few decades brought a revolution in computer software and hardware; today we are on the cusp of a materials revolution. If yesterday we programmed computers and other machines, today we program matter itself. This has created new capabilities in design, computing, and fabrication, which allow us to program proteins and bacteria, to generate self-transforming wood products and architectural details, and to create clothing from “intelligent textiles” that grow themselves. This book offers essays and sample projects from the front lines of the emerging field of active matter.
