Summary:
The new de Young museum in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park has been designed by the Swiss firm of Herzog & de Meuron. This book is a case study in design and urban planning, documenting the complex five-year process that has resulted in this outstanding contribution to contemporary museum architecture. Founded by San Francisco Chronicle publisher Michael de Young, the museum's permanent collection includes the art of Africa, Oceania and traditional cultures of the Americas; American painting and sculpture from the colonial period to the present; and both Western and non-Western textiles. After the museum was damaged in a 1989 earthquake, its fate became the focus of intense public debate, in which issues of environmental sensitivity and the role of cultural institutions in urban parks were paramount. Illustrated with colour photographs as well as plans, drawings and models, this book traces the architects’ creative process in detail. Principal photography by Mark Darley.

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:
Focusing on the practice of two leading architectural photographers, Rory Gardiner from Australia and Maxime Delvaux from Belgium, this book explores their output and poses key questions around the underpinning and parameters of the broader milieu in which they work. The coupling of the two practitioners’ images discloses specific nuances in the nature of their collaborations, their modes of authorship, and how they capture everyday life. By presenting a comprehensive selection of their work alongside texts by photographers, collaborators, and critics, the book explores the dialogues, tensions, and reciprocities between photography and architecture.
