Summary:
Based in Lisbon, Bak Gordon Arquitectos was established in 2002 by Ricardo Bak Gordon. The studio has since built a reputation for its residential houses and educational and public buildings, projects that are rooted in place, with a strong sense and sensibility for the local features and contexts. Bak Gordon’s architecture is characterised by its pragmatism and intelligence. This book introduces the practice through a number of projects from over the past two decades along with recent work, including the Roman Theatre and National Coach Museum, both in Lisbon, as well as residences in Portugal, schools in Switzerland, and a mixed-use waterfront development in Mozambique.

Summary:
Il aura fallu le hasard de la découverte de son corpus photographique en 2007 dans un garde-meuble aux États-Unis pour que le public puisse connaître Vivian Maier. Elle naît à New-York en 1926. Son père est d'origine austro-hongroise et sa mère est française, ce qui la conduit à séjourner à plusieurs reprises en France dans sa jeunesse. Elle commence à exercer le métier de gouvernante d'enfants dès 1951, d'abord à New-York puis, jusque dans les années 1990 à Chicago, où elle s'éteint au printemps 2009. Cette passion qui l'habite et qui deviendra une activité presque quotidienne, l'élève aujourd'hui au rang des plus grands photographes emblématiques de la Street Photography, et la fait figurer dans l'histoire de la photographie aux côtés de Diane Arbus, Robert Frank, Helen Levitt ou Garry Winogrand. Son œuvre est constituée de plus de 120 000 images photographiques, de films super 8 et 16 mm, d'enregistrements divers, de photographies éparses, et d'une multitude de pellicules non développées, comme autant de trouvailles fascinantes.

Summary:
Silvia Bächli was invited to design the official contribution for the Swiss Pavilion at this year’s Biennale in Venice. This book offers a look inside her studio and documents the preparation of her works for the Biennale, illustrating her working process with spatial situations and snapshots that show her trying out various constellations as well as focusing on individual works and groups. The works and pictures from the artist’s studio are combined with photographs of her working stay in Iceland. Bächli has developed her body of drawings over the course of three decades, using varying formats and techniques. Drawing, for her, is a movement of seeing, of gentle deviations and displacements within the gravitational field of an aimless attentiveness to things and dreamlike phenomena that doesn’t really come to rest even in the finished drawing. The result is not just painterly moments; the drawings often seem to capture, as if in film stills, a cinematic look way of looking at bodies and things or their details, at landscapes, gestures, structures, and processes.

Summary:
Gabriel Orozco emerged at the beginning of the 1990s as one of the most intriguing and original artists of his generation. His work is unique in its formal power and intellectual rigor, resisting confinement to one medium and roaming freely and fluently among drawing, photography, sculpture, installation and painting. Orozco deliberately blurs the boundary between the art object and the everyday environment, situating his work in a place that merges art and reality, whether through exquisite drawings made on airplane boarding passes or sculptures composed of recovered trash. This publication examines two decades of the artist's production year by year, from 1989 through 2009. Each section is richly illustrated and includes a short text, based on interviews with the artist, that combines biographical information with a brief and focused discussion of selected works. Critical essays by Ann Temkin, Benjamin H.D. Buchloh and Briony Fer supplement these foundational and chronological explorations, providing new insights and strategies for grounding Orozco's work in the larger landscape of contemporary art production.

Summary:
The Quarter at the “European Embankment” was an invited competition for the development of one of the most important development areas in central St. Petersburg, with the result being decided in March 2009. The 9.9 Hectare land, centrally located in the „Naberezhnaya Ewropy“ - „Europaufer“ industrial wasteland, lies on the small arm of the Neva River. Opposite the hermitage, stock exchange and directly downstream from the Peter-and-Paul fortress, the historical centre of the former Zarenstadt, the planned development is situated in a very prominent neighbourhood amongst almost all of the city’s landmarks. The renewal of the European-oriented city development and the adoption of typically local characteristics in the brief, ensured acceptance by the St Petersburg residents who recently demonstrated their concern for the city’s history by protesting plans for a high-rise in the world heritage area.
