Summary:
AUDC's first book captures three moments in modern culture that offer glimpses into our increasingly perverse relationship to architecture, cities, and objects. “Ether” explores the Los Angeles telecom hotel, One Wilshire; a 39 story building of utter banality and complete mystery. “The Stimulus Progression” examines the strange story of the Muzak Corporation and the invention of a culture of horizontality. “Quartzsite, Arizona” visits a desert town of 3,000 people that swells to over 1 million residents every summer when modern nomads in Recreational Vehicles descend upon in it in hordes. This book is a lively mix of philosophy, photography, architectural drawings and models, and new media.

Summary:
Sujets transversaux et parfois à la marge, les gymnases, piscines, hippodromes, stades ou terrain de tennis témoignent de l'engagement historique de la région Île-de-France en faveur du sport et des pratiques sportives. Avec une focale élargie au-delà du cadre habituel de Paris et de sa petite couronne et une approche globale des édifices sportifs comme une typologie architecturale à part, ce dixième opus de Ré-inventaire se consacre aux rapports de ces équipements exceptionnels avec le territoire et les athlètes qui les font vivre. Dans la perspective des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024, redécouvrez la richesse trop méconnue de ce patrimoine mis au service de l'éducation et de la promotion de l'excellence française et francilienne.

Summary:
Alors étudiant en architecture, Gabriele Basilico parcourt la périphérie de Glasgow un après-midi d'été, photographiant sa jeunesse écossaise, ses terrains vagues et son architecture industrielle.

Summary:
This artist’s book by Nico Joana Weber mounts an insightful and calculated photographic investigation into the dichotomy of rational (European) modernism in architecture versus the “irrational” proliferation of nature in tropical regions. Citing a range of historical and cultural references, from Le Corbusier’s visits to Argentina and Niemeyer’s Brazilian modernism, to the Amazonian expeditions of Lévi-Strauss, her vast collection of images points to how the fragile balance between architecture, the body, and vegetation inherent to the tropics shifts the separation between nature and culture so crucial to the Western perspective into the realm of the impossible.

Summary:
Berlin-based photographer Jean Molitor has been traveling around the world since 2009, tracking the legacy of the Bauhaus. A century after the founding of the school, several generations of architects have confronted or been reared on the innovations of Bauhaus architecture. Trailblazers, allies and heirs to modernism are united by an architectural language generally described as "Bauhaus." In his Bau1haus project, Molitor focuses on the aesthetics of Bauhaus-influenced architecture across the globe; his pictures make it possible to perceive the continuity of the school's legacy and its architectural language across cultures in a clear fashion.

Summary:
Architecture photographer Takeshi Yamagishi’s first monographic collection presents his recordings of virtually every aspect of the collisions between architecture as the edge of artificiality and various forces of nature. The extensive series covers a period from the immediate aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 to the ongoing restoration efforts today, including measures against future catastrophes. It contains roughly 200 ultra-high-resolution images captured using 4 x 5 film, rather than digitally, and forms an impressive homage to the resilience and tenacity of the Japanese people, expressed through the built environment and augmented landscapes.
