Summary:
In 1952, Fred Herzog emigrated from Germany to Canada, and quickly found work as a medical photographer in Vancouver. But outside the lab, Herzog also devoted himself to what was, at the time, an unusual and even frowned-upon medium: color photography. Laboring away as a virtually anonymous pioneer in this field, Herzog was quietly documenting the streets of Vancouver: its supermarkets, gas stations, bars, urban scenery and above all its working class culture. Herzog used slide film to make his photographs, which limited his ability to exhibit them and further marginalized his work; but in recent decades, happily, this color pioneer has drawn great acclaim, and this volume, the largest Herzog monograph yet published, does justice to his rich oeuvre.

Summary:
Urban spaces became battlefields, signifiers have been invaded, new structures have been established: NetCulture replaced counterculture in most parts and also focused on the everchanging environments of the modern city. Important questions have been brought up to date and reasked, taking current positions and discourses into account. The major question still remains, namely how to create culturally based resistance under the influence of capitalistic pressure and conservative politics. This collection of essays and contributions attempts to address this question and its implications for different scientific and artistic fields.

Summary:
Among the events of Turin World Design Capital, the project IN Residence, curated by Brondi and Marco Rainò, created a 48hours workshop, in which five designers reflected with a group of thirty students from specific institutions dedicated to design of the city of Turin. The subject of the discussion / creation was the role of design as an expressive resource sensitive to environmental conditions. In its impact with the environment, design produces "new" objects that become in time integral part of the landscape (moreover, they contribute to its construction and development). Pre-existing landscape and created object - "nature" and "artifice" - are the two starting points from which the IN Residence project starts. This book is dedicated to the project IN Residence.

Summary:
Shaun O'Boyle has been photographing ruined landscapes and buildings in the Mid-Atlantic region, for more than twenty-five years. This collection of photographs represents some of his best work. Modern Ruins begins with an introduction by architectural essayist Geoff Manaugh, who offers insight into why people are so drawn to ruins and what they might mean to us in a larger psychological sense. Brief essays by noted historians Curt Miner, Kenneth Warren, Kenneth Wolensky, and Thomas Lewis offer social and historical contexts for the sites documented in the book. It concludes with an interview with the photographer that touches on his fascination with ruins and explores some of the processes and procedures he uses to document them.
