Summary:
La Cité du Design de Saint-Etienne est une institution d'un nouveau genre consacrée à la recherche et la formation, la communication, la diffusion et les services liés au design. Elle s'adresse aux acteurs les plus divers et intègre des pratiques variées, artistiques, industrielles, universitaires, urbaines, sociétales. Un seul volume élancé, la Platine, s'intègre dans le site de l'ancienne Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Etienne. Ce mono espace connecte les activités communicatives avec les programmes spécifiques qui s'inscrivent dans les bâtiments historiques de la Manufacture. Une tour observatoire est l'élément pionnier qui marque le point de départ de cette transformation. Trois livres décrivent la genèse de la Cité du Design de Saint-Etienne. «Observations» explore le lieu et montre la tour observatoire. «Projections» retrace le processus de la conception architecturale. «Constructions» présentera la Cité du Design achevée en 2008.

Summary:
This book brings together frames from all of the Super-8 and video films made by the Swiss artist Roman Signer.

Summary:
The essays selected for this book, presented in chronological order, discuss various aspects of image-making technologies, geometrical knowledge and tools for architectural design, focusing in particular on two historical periods marked by comparable patterns of technological and cultural change. The first is the Renaissance; characterized by the rediscovery of linear perspectives and the simultaneous rise of new formats for architectural drawing and design on paper; the second, the contemporary rise of digital technologies and the simultaneous rise of virtual reality and computer-based design and manufacturing. Many of the contributing authors explore the parallel between the invention of the perspectival paradigm in early-modern Europe and the recent development of digitized virtual reality. This issue in turn bears on the specific purposes of architectural design, where various representational tools and devices are used to visualize bi-dimensional aspects of objects that must be measured and eventually built in three-dimensional space.

Summary:
SHIFTS propels you into the future of Scotland's Central Belt and gives you a glimpse into the year 2057. Imagine the transformation of the M8 into a major tourist attraction running through Scotland's Central Forest. Imagine the creation of a new canal connecting the west and the east coast, wide enough to carry a floating opera house or a football stadium. Imagine a decentralisation of political and economical power, producing local decision-making structures that support local identity, culture and production. Imagine Scotland relying only on hydro and wind power, beeing Europe's main export nation of green energy. Imagine the Central Belt not as a zone to move through but to move to. Imagine the life that is faster and slower at the same time, a life that is healthier, greener and more fun. Imagine that SHIFTS have happened.

Summary:
In 2010 – 11 the work of Dutch sculptor Mark Manders, a winner of the Dr A.H. Heineken Prize for Art, is touring the USA for the first time, with shows at the Hammer Museum Los Angeles, Aspen Art Museum, the Walker Art Center Minneapolis, and the Dallas Museum of Art. Manders' work aims to bypass language, gathering existing and self-made objects into tableaux that incorporate figures, animals, household goods, archeological debris and architectural components, and evoke a mysterious world of daydreams and fairy tales. For this travelling exhibition and artist's book Manders has created an entirely new body of work, including sculpture and works on paper.

À l’occasion de Nancy 2005, une exposition réunissant 20 «artistes-architectes» a pour objectif de défricher le futur de la ville par la mise en scène de réflexions et d’utopies. Quel avenir envisagent-ils pour la ville à l’horizon de l’an 3000 ? Ce sont bien des créateurs qui se sont interrogés et leurs réponses mêlent certaines utopies retrouvées, intuitions, constats, amplification du questionnement même ou dérision et jeu. Le travail de ces penseurs du futur est expliqué dans ce livre qui n’est pas un catalogue mais une projection dans les avenirs possibles des villes.

Summary:
Broadway avenue in downtown Los Angeles holds an extraordinary collection of twelve once-luxurious and now abandoned film-palaces, built between 1910 and 1931. In most cities worldwide, such a concentration of cinemas would have been demolished long ago - here however the buildings have survived the end of film-projection intact, some of their interiors ruined and gutted, others transformed and re-used as churches, nightclubs and storage spaces. Stephen Barber begins with an exploration of these remarkable derelicts, and broadens to ask questions about the abandonment of film itself.
