Summary:
In this issue of Architectural Design, guest-editor Nic Clear questions received notions of the future. Are the accepted norms of economic growth and expansion the only means by which society can develop and prosper? Should the current economic crisis be making us call into question a future of unlimited growth? Can this moment of crisis – economic, environmental and technological – enable us to make more informed choices about the type of future that we want and can actually achieve? Architectures of the Near Future offers a series of alternative voices, developing some of the neglected areas of contemporary urban life and original visions of what might be to come. Rather than providing simplistic and seductive images of an intangible shiny future, it rocks the cosy world of architecture with polemical blasts.

Summary:
Barcelona-based Portuguese artist Carlos Bunga (Porto, 1976) is well known for his large scale installations in which he often uses fragile, perishable materials to build architectural structures, which he sometimes later destroys in performances or even before the exhibition opens. Built over weeks, his site-specific projects are made in direct dialogue with the surrounding architecture. This publication documents the special commission made for the Sonae/Serralves Project in 2012 for which the artist created a very large structure for the entrance hall of the Serralves Museum emphasizing the space’s verticality and functionality, in dialogue with Álvaro Siza’s architecture. Illustrated with Bunga’s projects in other artistic contexts, the book features texts by João Fernandes and Ricardo Nicolau (exhibition curators), Adam Budak (curator at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington D.C.), Marta Jecu (writer and researcher at CICANT Institute, Universidade Lusófona, Lisbon) and an interview conducted by María Inez Rodríguez (former chief curator at Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo in Mexico City) offering comprehensive insights into Carlos Bunga’s work.

It is impossible to overstate the importance of Lincoln Kirstein (1907-1996) to the arts in America. One of the rare talents who touched the entire artistic field of his time – ballet, film, literature, theater, painting, sculpture, photography, architecture – he is perhaps best known for bringing the choreographer George Balanchine to the United States, and for founding(...)

Summary:
It is impossible to overstate the importance of Lincoln Kirstein (1907-1996) to the arts in America. One of the rare talents who touched the entire artistic field of his time – ballet, film, literature, theater, painting, sculpture, photography, architecture – he is perhaps best known for bringing the choreographer George Balanchine to the United States, and for founding with him the supremely influential School of American Ballet and the New York City Ballet. Kirstein was also a persuasive and lucid writer who published over 500 books, articles and monographs. Now, in honor of the centennial of Kirstein’s birth, Eakins Press presents the most comprehensive bibliography ever of his huge literary output, annotated, indexed and categorized into Fiction; Poetry; Drama and Ballet Libretti; On Dance; On Drawing, Painting, Sculpture and Architecture; On Photography; On Film; On Literature, History, Politics and other Subjects; and Memoir. This impressive work includes selected excerpts and a chronology of a life which, as Hilton Kramer wrote in the New York Times, “has helped to shape some of the most valuable parts of our culture.”

Price:

Summary:
Berlin's history of conflict, violence, and transformation has created an arena of particular urban surfaces, from which the present-day city and its layered, wounded past are projected simultaneously. In this publication, cultural historian Stephen Barber explores the intimate connections between those surfaces and the works of art and film that have both incised Berlin's urban screens and been inspired by them. Drawing on a vast range of material - from the first films of Berlin in the 1890s to the city's place in contemporary digital art - this book takes the form of a series of image-propelled journeys across the face of Berlin and through its urban histories, excavating the ricochets among the city, art, and film. In Barber's hands, Berlin's walls become apertures that mediate the city's preoccupations and manias, damage and scars, strata and outgrowths, sexual obsessions, and urban vanishings. The Walls of Berlin is a cultural history of the city's memories-as well as its acts of forgetting-that illuminates overlooked spaces and the sensory presences that inhabit them.

Summary:
As a consequence of demographic change, it is increasingly necessary now and in the future for the architectural profession to rethink the design of residential solutions for aging people and especially those with dementia. With advancing age we are increasingly dependent on a spatial environment that not only has a positive effect on us, but also supports our everyday activities and takes age-related restrictions into account. A focal point of the new requirements is multisensory architecture: color and lighting design, sound design, tactile materials and surfaces, and haptically attractive forms, creating a spatial atmosphere in which the resident feels comfortable, providing security and orientation and fostering motor skills and cognitive abilities. "Building for Dementia" has been developed as a guideline for contemporary and dignified architecture that meets the requirements of people with dementia and views them as an integral part of society.

This book reveals the depth and complexity of Smith's oeuvre in sculpture while positioning its transdisciplinary nature in dialogue with contemporary practitioners. Commissioned essays by art historians and curators and visual projects by artists offer renewed perspectives on a variety of cultural systems, exploring the ongoing vitality of Smith's work. Their contributions reflect upon the modernist era in which Smith's work was produced to think through ingrained ideologies, revealing other, parallel modernisms and histories.
