Summary:
La photographie contemporaine présente le travail de 80 des plus importants artistes photographes d'aujourd'hui, ordonné selon sept chapitres - le portrait, le paysage, le récit, l'objet, la mode, le documentaire et la ville, il explore la diversité et l'hétérogénéité des sujets, des méthodes et des styles propres à chacun. Chacune de ces séquences interroge le genre à l'aune des approches de ces photographes qui mêlent à leur travail des considérations sur la mémoire, le temps (passé/présent), l'objectivité, l'événement, la fiction (et leurs frontières), le point de vue, la politique, l'espace privé/public, l'identité, le quotidien, l'intimité. Chaque photographe fait l'objet d'un court portrait appuyé par un commentaire de l'artiste lui-même éclairant les aspects les plus singuliers de son œuvre. Une entrée directe dans leur univers, une visite guidée au sein de leurs motivations, sources d'inspiration et intentions.

Summary:
The last decade has seen the rise of urban design which has taken a central position in the new agendas for urban regeneration and renaissance. Urban design has moved from marginality to mainstream. The principles espoused by urban designers over the past 30 years are now accepted as key to a better urban environment and as we move towards greater sustainability, different ideas are emerging that are challenging some of the accepted urban design norms; urban design is at a watershed. Essays from an international cast of authors review progress and explore emerging ideas: should urban design reflect the future rather than recreate the past? What are the new driving forces that will shape urban living and hence urban design in the future? This book explores new concepts and points the way towards a series of urban design paradigms for the twenty-first century.

Summary:
Canadian architect Fred Hollingsworth designed his first house in 1946. Since then he has created some of the most innovative homes of the twentieth century. Hollingsworth's home designs incorporate an open floor plan and a keen observance of the flow between the inside and outside environment. Using natural materials with an emphasis on texture and natural lighting, Hollingsworth is one of the few modernist architects who look wholly to organic form as the basis of their design aesthetic. "Living spaces" is a detailed monograph on Hollingsworth's career, revealing how he and a handful of visionary architects pioneered the acclaimed "West Coast Style" and helped establish modern ideals of structure and utility. Through full-page images, architectural plans, and text from the artist himself, this book follows an acclaimed architect from his early days to his most recent achievements that show his continued commitment to innovation.

Price:

Summary:
"Bodyline" is a visual essay on the human body, approaches its subject in a spirit both playful and seriously experimental. Organised by themes in turn figurative and abstract, organic, and mechanical, immaterial, "Bodyline" contains not one predictable image of the body. Instead it uses diffracted views to conjure seven alternative visions of the flesh in the age of meta-mechanical reproduction, reconstructing the human physique by means of synthetic images, clothing patterns and technical blueprints. As such, "Bodyline" is a much about perception and delineation as it is about the body. The book is devided into three chapters loosely based on Robert Hughe's "Nothing if not critical". Here, through, the original categories are reversed : "Ancestors" explores the latest paradigms of virtual bodies, the computer-generated meshes of the gaming industry, which are also figurative; "Moderns", which constitutes the book's central exploration, features twentieth-century micro-narratives of pattern and garnment in which the body is already all but unrecognisable; and "Contemporaries" celebrates the reflections of self-portraiture through the projective network of Mongean geometry. The seven images of the body contained in this book - "Ectopic birth" (Nazila Maghzian), "How tall am I?" (Sharon Givony), "Vital points" (Eiichi Matsuda), "Inside out" (Kun-Min Kim), "Growth and decay" (Lawrence Ler), "Tiny deaths" (Carolin Hinne) and "10 years after" (Ema Bonifacio) - are accompagned by concise, literary texts.

Summary:
The diamond vaults of Central Europe are among the most original yet little-known creations of medieval architecture : ceilings so complex that, as their name suggests, they recall the facets of a cut gemstone. First appearing in 1471 at the palace of Albrechtsburg in Meissen, Germany, they were employed for almost a century in locations as far apart as Gdansk on the Baltic to Bechyne in southern Bohemia (today’s Czech Republic). From a historical point of view, diamond vaults show the continuing vitality of Gothic architecture in Central Europe, at a time when the rediscovery of the classical past in Renaissance Italy was changing the course of building. Architecturally, they offer some of the most impressive examples of geometrical experimentation and versatility in both secular and sacred spaces. But perhaps their greatest appeal is visual. The stark, concave–convex shapes of diamond vaults, with their lyrical play of the effects of light and shade, strike us today as incredibly modern. "Diamond vaults" explores this singular phenomenon. A text by Zoë Opacic explores the vault’s origins, topography, structure and design, as well as function and context, focusing primarily on the Czech Republic, which boasts some of the best examples, and contrasting them with those in Germany and Gdansk. One of the chief aims is to demonstrate the undoubted aesthetic appeal of this form, which has continued to inspire generations of architects.

Puiser dans ce vivier, y prélever quelques échantillons caractéristiques et les livrer à cru au lecteur, peut être considéré comme éclairant pour l'architecture. Certes il ne s'agit là que de spécimens, mais ils ont l'avantage d'être saisis sur le vif dans leur vécu quotidien, en une sorte d'instantané photographique. Il reste qu'à la lumière rouge, dans le bain du révélateur, se distingue un peu de la conscience profonde de chacun.
