Summary:
Since 2008, German photographer Winfried Bullinger (born 1965) has traveled around Eastern and Central Africa, capturing the vernacular architecture of these regions. In this physical archive of his long-term project, Bullinger portrays a diverse array of African pastoralists’ homes, including tents, open dwellings and huts. Despite their variety, the structures are all made from materials available directly on site; they are radically efficient and sustainable. Implementing a silver-gelatin technique, Bullinger shoots with a large-format camera and honors the capricious natural light of day. Although he captures few inhabitants in his images, Bullinger records their many traces. Indeed, his photographs are born from a dialogue with the inhabitants and reveal architecture as a direct response, refined over centuries, to a people’s specific environment and culture. Bullinger’s conscientious formal and interpersonal decisions culminate in this valuable record of rapidly disappearing African architectural heritage.

Summary:
Bob Thall has been photographing the skyline and streets of Chicago for over thirty years, and here in "At City's Edge" he chronicles the twenty-five mile shoreline where the asphalt meets the inland sea. Thall's stark yet rich images take viewers from the Evanston border on the North Shore down to 100th Street on the South Side, documenting the natural scenery, architectural structures, and people that populate the coastline. From the lakefront parks to summer beaches to the Air and Water Show, Chicago enfolds Lake Michigan into its urban character, but Thall's images make clear that the lake remains a dynamic and powerful force, with nature and civilization clashing at its rim. "At City's Edge" brings the lakefront to life in all its complexity, chronicling in its elegant visual sequence the sand-covered city beaches, the rock-studded shoreline, the running paths, and the buildings built along this unique intersection.

Summary:
The photographs and essays in this combination artist book and monograph reveal the invisible histories of human enterprise, idealism and trauma embedded in the work by Berlin artist Stephanie Kloss. Eight bodies of work in black and white and color made in locations as diverse as Israel, Japan, the United States, Germany and Greece, from 2006 to 2014, explore the mythos and utopianism of architecture. An idyllic Canary Island bears scant traces of Otto Muehl s Actionist commune and sexual crimes; the mute currents of the Mississippi Delta belie its devastation first by Hurricane Katrina and subsequently by the BP oil spill. The commonality and one could say, colonization of modernist architectural form rather than the peculiarities of place, nation or time seems to attract her lens. In Weltausstellung, Kloss speaks a collective photographic language that warns against the ease and peril of forgetfulness.

Issues du Mouvement moderne, les villes de La Grande Motte (1974), Brasília (1960) et Chandigarh (1953) se caractérisent chacune par des architectures assez distinctes. Ces trois œuvres du patrimoine contemporain nous interpellent sur la place de l’homme dans la cité et la promesse d’une utopie. Lumière, espaces consacrés, liberté de mouvement permettent une disponibilité, pour rêver, être habité. L’interaction entre les photographies de Stéphane Herbert et la poésie de Carole Lenfant invite à une promenade urbaine ponctuée par les jeux d’ombre et la densité des couleurs. Accord architectural, temporalité des corps, le voyage commence autour des pyramides de Jean Balladur, passe par les coupoles d’Oscar Niemeyer puis se termine sur l’esplanade du Capitole de Le Corbusier. Des plages de la Méditerranée à la nouvelle civilisation qu’est le Brésil jusqu’à l’Inde immémoriale : invitation à méditer sur trois villes anticonformistes et oniriques, trois villes ouvertes et universelles.

Summary:
The modernist architect Le Corbusier’s Capitol Complex at Chandigarh, India, remains one of the major touchstones of 20th-century architecture. Commissioned by the government of India after gaining independence, the complex of brutalist concrete structures has become a pilgrimage site for architecture lovers and scholars for the past six decades. These structures have been photographed many times, but the Japanese photographer Yoshihiro Makino takes a different approach. Instead of documenting the buildings in typical fashion, the photographs become meditations on the intentions of the project, and of Le Corbusier’s architectural philosophy. Composed of two accordion-folded books in a cloth slipcase, Makino and revered art director Tamotu Yagi create a double-sided visual experience revealing on the front side of the accordion books an explosion of saturated color exteriors and interiors, then on the backsides details and rarely seen rooms in lush black & white.
