Summary:
This book documents a unique collaboration between the artist Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) and the architect Peter Zumthor (born 1973). The Steilneset Memorial, opened in 2011, is a monument in Vardø, Norway, commemorating the 17th-century trial and execution of 91 women for witchcraft. The brainchild of the National Tourist Routes project in Norway (a government-sponsored initiative which aims to attract visitors to remote but exceptionally beautiful locations), the Steilneset Memorial started out as a modest monument to honor the victims of the witchcraft trials, to be built on the site where the burnings originally took place. But the project, which would be Bourgeois’ last major work, grew in the hands of Zumthor and Bourgeois into two distinct, haunting structures.

Summary:
Ninety years after the Bauhaus first opened its doors in Dessau, ''Big Plans! Modern Figures, Visionaries, and Inventors'' examines for the first time the role of the Bauhaus in the early modernist vision of utopia. Not just an experimental forum for the avant-garde, the Bauhaus, once it moved to Dessau, became part of an industrial region that had been a hotbed of idealized planning for the future of humanity since the end of the First World War. This visionary futurist age of Saxony-Anhalt, reflected in its local architecture, industrial production, education and advertising, continued until the rise of the Nazi party in the 1930s.

Summary:
The normative order and authoritarian use of conventional archives has long been criticised. This volume investigates the digitally informed transformation and multiplication of archives today, in conjunction with the increase in both accessibility and the amount of data produced, stored, and circulated. Despite improved search capabilities, documents, photographs, and other images are in danger of vanishing. Yet new knowledge, connotations, and materialities are also emerging. Through various texts and artworks, a selection of contemporary artistic and research-based approaches to existing archives, the act of collecting images, and creating new archives is represented.

Summary:
"Architectures de théâtres à Versailles" propose une approche architecturale de l’art du théâtre au XVIIIe siècle. Si la Cour de France au XVIIIe siècle est friande de spectacles, il faut attendre l’inauguration de l’Opéra en 1770 pour que Versailles soit enfin doté d’une salle digne de la résidence royale. Avant cela, comédies, tragédies, opéras et ballets de l’ordinaire se jouent dans l’inconfortable comédie de la Cour des princes puis déplacés dans un théâtre installé à même l’escalier des ambassadeurs ! Quant aux spectacles extraordinaires, ils prennent place dans des espaces spécifiquement aménagés pour l’occasion. Aujourd’hui, seuls subsistent l’Opéra et le théâtre de Trianon, témoins d’un art du spectacle et d’une ingénierie disparus. Grâce à des reconstitutions 3D, l’ouvrage offre une visite privilégiée de ces lieux, qu’ils soient présents ou disparus.

L’objectif de ce Palmarès est de renouveler l’urbanisme contemporain et de mettre en lumière une profession multiforme, talentueuse et innovante, au service de la qualité urbaine du territoire. Les profils et les parcours de ces jeunes professionnels (architectes, urbanistes, paysagistes, sociologue, philosophe, programmiste, designer, artiste, analyste et gestionnaire immobiliers, cartographe) témoignent d’un renouveau des métiers de l’urbanisme désormais perçu comme une matière malléable, exigeant souplesse et adaptation.

Summary:
Amsterdam-based landscape architect Michael van Gessel has been working with, rather than against, nature for the past three decades. He expresses his ethos by quoting the English author and landscape architect Joseph Spence: "Respect for the past, combined with a curiosity for what is and a feeling for what could be. This is the dynamo that starts the engine of the design." Accordingly, van Gessel embraces a diversity of projects, from private gardens to urban planning. He supervised the renovation of Amsterdam's Vondel Park, drew up the master plan to restore the landscaping around Utretch's Castle De Haar and managed to integrate the inner courtyards of the Ministry of Agriculture in The Hague into the urban fabric. This comprehensive volume places van Gessel's myriad approaches into context and illuminates his pivotal role in the formation of contemporary Dutch landscape architecture.

Summary:
NYSR produces the Portfolio every few years, both as a showcase of the very best in contemporary architectural illustration, and as a resource for architects, developers, and designers who wish to commission renderings of their own. This edition is by far the largest we have produced to date, and features over 360 color renderings by 46 top illustrators, a foreword by Alan Ritchie of Philip Johnson/Alan Ritchie Architects, and contact information for each artist. The illustrators featured in the NYSR Portfolio represent a broad array of styles and techniques; from traditional media such as watercolor and gouache, to digital renderings, to hybrid renderings that combine computer and hand work. As a design professional, you know that renderings are often the most public face of your project prior to construction. The right rendering can help sell your ideas to clients, prospective tenants, regulatory bodies, and communities. Within the Portfolio, it is our hope that you will find the right illustrator for your project.
