Summary:
This volume presents the ArtLab project, which highlights the intersection of science, art, and the public at the Lausanne Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Switzerland. Designed by the renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, ArtLab is a symbolic place of art, culture, and technology. The project combines three structures: the first is a welcome area to learn about the university's research, the second structure is an exhibition space that hosts art installations, while the third pavilion houses the newly digitized Montreux Jazz Festival archives and a café. The three pavilions are connected, constituting a single building with a folded roof, a topographical flow, and a hybrid steel and wood frame. ArtLab is located near buildings by SANAA and Dominique Perrault, forming a new heart for the EPFL campus.

Summary:
Carol Mavor’s first "happy accident" occurred in 1980 when visiting New York’s Serendipity 3, a dessert café favored by Andy Warhol. Mavor’s memory of eating a frozen hot chocolate became food for thought, nurturing accidental discoveries about art and literature. This book’s happy, yet dark, accidents include Anne Frank’s journal, discovered in the Secret Annex after the Second World War; Emily Dickinson’s poems, scribbled on salvaged envelopes, hidden in a drawer; and "Lolita", rescued from incineration by Nabokov’s wife Véra. Mavor’s writing is dependent on serendipity’s layers of happenstance, rousing feelings of something that she did not exactly know she was looking for until she found it. All history is about loss, and in the case of this book, much of it is tragic—but "Serendipity" also offers the happiness that can be found in unexpected discoveries.

Summary:
The Posthuman Dada Guide is an impractical handbook for practical living in our posthuman world - all by way of examining the imagined 1916 chess game between Tristan Tzara, the daddy of Dada, and V. I. Lenin, the daddy of communism. This epic game at Zurich's Café de la Terrasse - a battle between radical visions of art and ideological revolution - lasted for a century and may still be going on, although communism appears dead and Dada stronger than ever. As the poet faces the future mass murderer over the chessboard, neither realizes that they are playing for the world. Taking the match as metaphor for two poles of twentieth and twenty-first century thought, politics, and life, Andrei Codrescu has created his own Dadaesque guide to Dada - and to what it can teach us about surviving our ultraconnected present and future.

Summary:
La machine à café, l'open-space, la disparition des frontières entre vie privée et vie professionnelle, les pots d'entreprise, le harcèlement olfactif, la pratique de la trottinette, les cafés envahis par les MacBook des indépendants... En une cinquantaine de chroniques, Nicolas Santolaria, journaliste au regard affuté, explore l'univers que nous partageons tous, celui du travail tel qu'il se pratique aujourd'hui. Des situations cocasses ou embarrassantes aux « tics » contemporains dans les échanges relationnels, du langage mâtiné d'anglais aux nouvelles théories de management, farfelues ou proprement effrayantes, sans oublier les névroses plus ou moins sérieuses que cela génère, tout passe au crible de la plume alerte de l'auteur. Loin de n'être qu'humoristiques, ces chroniques, dans une démarche proche des mythologies de Barthes, sont également nourries de références, qui permettront au lecteur curieux d'aller plus loin sur certains sujets.

Summary:
The past decade has seen an extraordinary laboratory-building boom. This new crop of laboratories features spectacular architecture and resort-like amenities. The buildings sprawl luxuriously on verdant campuses or sit sleekly in expensive urban neighborhoods. Designed to attract venture capital, generous philanthropy, and star scientists, these laboratories are meant to create the ideal conditions for scientific discovery. Yet there is little empirical evidence that shows if they do. 'Laboratory Lifestyles' examines this new species of scientific laboratory from architectural, economic, social, and scientific perspectives. Generously illustrated with photographs of laboratories and scientists at work in them, the book investigates how “lifestyle science” affects actual science. Are scientists working when they stretch in a yoga class, play volleyball in the company tournament, chat in an on-site café, or show off their facilities to visiting pharmaceutical executives?

J’ai choisi, à Paris, douze lieux, des rues, des places, des carrefours, liés à des souvenirs, à des événements ou à des moments importants de mon existence. Chaque mois, je décris deux de ces lieux ; une première fois, sur place (dans un café ou dans la rue même) je décris « ce que je vois » de la manière la plus neutre possible, j’énumère les magasins, quelques détails d’architecture, quelques micro-événements (une voiture de pompiers qui passe, une dame qui attache son chien avant d’entrer dans une charcuterie, un déménagement, des affiches, des gens, etc.) ; une deuxième fois, n’importe où (chez moi, au café, au bureau) je décris le lieu de mémoire, j’évoque les souvenirs qui lui sont liés, les gens que j’y ai connus, etc. Chaque texte [...] est, une fois terminé, enfermé dans une enveloppe que je cachette à la cire. Au bout d’un an, j’aurai décrit chacun de mes lieux deux fois, une fois sur le mode du souvenir, une fois sur place en description réelle. Je recommence ainsi pendant douze ans [...]. J’ai commencé en janvier 1969 ; j’aurai fini en décembre 1980 ! j’ouvrirai alors les 288 enveloppes cachetées [...]. Je n’ai pas une idée très claire du résultat final, mais je pense qu’on y verra tout à la fois le vieillissement des lieux, le vieillissement de mon écriture, le vieillissement de mes souvenirs : le temps retrouvé se confond avec le temps perdu ; le temps s’accroche à ce projet, en constitue la structure et la contrainte ; le livre n’est plus restitution d’un temps passé, mais mesure du temps qui s’écoule ; le temps de l’écriture, qui était jusqu’à présent un temps pour rien, un temps mort, que l’on feignait d’ignorer ou que l’on ne restituait qu’arbitrairement (L’Emploi du temps), qui restait toujours à côté du livre (même chez Proust), deviendra ici l’axe essentiel. Je n’ai pas encore de titre pour ce projet ; ce pourrait être Loci Soli (ou Soli Loci) ou, plus simplement, "Lieux". »

In 2000, Birkhäuser first published an overview of their architectural work entitled M.I.N.N.E.S.O.T.A. now out of print, and the time has come to document their latest works. This new volume describes Périphériques´ most recent buildings and projects. Amongst the realised buildings are the Maisons Icone and MR, the transformation of the Place Furstenberg in Paris, the Café Charbon in Paris, and no doubt the high point is the Cabinet d’art graphique at the Centre Georges Pompidou. Also included are a number of fascinating new projects such as the Small Towers in Tsumari, Japan, the concept for the Habitat shops in Paris and the urban plans for the new Parisian Cité Universitaire.
