Summary:
This illustrated guide to 100 of the world's most important concert halls and opera houses examines their architecture and engineering and discusses their acoustical quality as judged by conductors and music critics. The descriptions and photographs will serve as a valuable guide for today's peripatetic performers and music lovers. With technical discussions relegated to appendices, the book can be read with pleasure by anyone interested in musical performance. The photographs (specially commissioned for this book) and architectural drawings (all to the same scale) together with modern acoustical data on each of the halls provide a rich and unmatched resource on the design of halls for presenting musical performances. Together with the technical appendices, the data and drawings will serve as an invaluable reference for architects and engineers involved in the design of spaces for the performance of music. Leo Beranek is an internationally recognized authority in acoustics who has consulted on the design of dozens of important auditoriums around the World. He has received the highest honors of the Acoustical Society of America and of the Audio Engineering Society and has just been awarded the US National Medal of Science at the White House.

Flamand de naissance, Gruyaert sait depuis longtemps que sa terre natale est « un endroit visuellement intéressant dans lequel il se passe des choses incongrues ». Son intuition très subtile de la couleur alliée à sa capacité à retranscrire l’essence des lieux sont perceptibles dans ce large corpus d’images à la fois « historiales et épicuriennes » comme le souligne l'écrivain Brice Matthieussent. Sens du grotesque, du sarcasme, banalité, mais aussi émotion et une certaine tendresse s’esquissent au fil d’images de carnaval, de processions religieuses, de cafés-concerts, de petites localités hérissées de maisons en briques... Quatre porfolios d’images en noir et blanc, partie plus méconnue de l'œuvre du photographe, viennent ponctuer, sur un papier différent, cette immersion visuelle de ce voyage au plat pays.

Summary:
How can design help to make PR events unique and compelling occasions? For the first time, Happening! Design for Events sets its sights on the total design of PR events and uses selected projects to show that there is virtually no limit to the influence and variety that are possible in this area. Exciting and innovative concepts from the designers provoke and potentiate the mix of artistic end in itself and economic persuasion that underlies PR events like product presentations, pop concerts, and cultural exhibitions. The results not only convince potential customers they are a must for everyone involved in organizing big international events. Happening! surveys thirty projects by international companies and design firms including Nike Brand Design and 3deluxe and devotes eight pages to each, with photographs, drawings, and texts by prominent authors. Interviews with the designers close out the book.

Summary:
The piazza San Marco, one of the most famous and instantly recognizable townscapes in the West, if not the world, has been described as a stage set, as Europe’s drawing room, as a painter’s canvas. This book traces the changing shape and function of the piazza, from its beginnings in the ninth century to its present day ubiquity in the Venetian, European, as well as global imagination. Through its long history, the Piazza San Marco has functioned as civic space that was used for such varied activities as public meetings; animal-baiting; executions; state processions; meat and produce markets; a performance venue for rock concerts; as well as, more recently, a cafe to enjoy a leisurely Campari. Constantly alert to the question of function, this book recreates not only rituals of the past but also activities of the present.

Summary:
From the stainless steel curves of its striking exterior to the state-of-the-art acoustics of the hardwood-paneled main auditorium, Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall, new home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, will be one of the most acoustically sophisticated concert halls in the world. Opening in fall 2003, the hall is destined to be a new architectural landmark, generating as much excitement as Gehry's Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, which its design predates. This book, which includes an introduction by Gehry, traces the history of the hall from its inception through the architect selection process, construction, and completion of the building, which is recorded by architectural photographer Grant Mudford. Esa-Pekka Salonen, music director for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, recounts his first impressions of Gehry and the models for the new building in an essay that also defines what makes a great orchestra and a great concert hall.

Artiste culte, érudit et collectionneur égaré au milieu d’une culture planétaire en mode liquidation, Oscar De Profundis trouve sur son passage les derniers gueux encore désireux de résister. Qu’adviendra-t-il de cette rencontre que la logique politique et économique interdit? À quoi ressembleront nos sociétés dans un demi-siècle si les impératifs sécuritaires et sanitaires deviennent notre seule préoccupation? Peut-on même agir et créer dans un monde divisé entre des banlieues fournies et des cités décrépites? Dans une langue si belle et juste qu’elle bouleverse, Catherine Mavrikakis signe un roman crépusculaire dans lequel demeure néanmoins un peu de la lumière de l’aube. Car cette ode immodérée à l’art et la littérature au milieu du désastre conserve une nostalgie des commencements qui, sait-on, pourrait nous sauver.

Summary:
"Living Earth" is a new book filled with ideas, conversations, lectures, and documentation relating to commissioned installations, soundwalks, concerts and performances made for and during the Dark Ecology project. This three-year project, a collaboration between Sonic Acts and the Norwegian curator Hilde Methi, was held from 2014 to 2016 in different places in Norway and Russia and included three curated ‘Journeys’. Living Earth is a recreation of these research trips to the Barents Region, from Kirkenes and Svanvik in Norway to Nikel, Zapolyarny and Murmansk in Russia. The project was inspired by Timothy Morton’s concept of ‘dark ecology’ and his philosophy of ‘ecology without Nature’. Morton offers a radical criticism of the modernist way of thinking about nature as something outside of us, and instead proposes an interconnected ‘mesh’ of all living and non-living objects. He ruminates on this idea in his essay for Living Earthentitled ‘What Is Dark Ecology’, stating at the outset that ecological awareness is ‘weird weirdness’.
