Summary:
The Covid-19 crisis teaches us how priceless human nearness is. Art and education can't do without it either. Like works of art, people lose their aura when kept at digital arm's length. Art is lifeless when it can't resonate with bodies. In ''Nearness'', Marlies De Munck and Pascal Gielen diagnose a new reality. Only culture marks the difference between surviving and living.

Summary:
Since the late 19th century, the shop window has shaped the urban landscape, mediating between the promises of consumer goods and the desires of passersby. The exhibition "Fresh Window" at the Museum Tinguely, inspired by Marcel Duchamp's work "Fresh Widow," explores the window as a membrane between public space and hidden desire.

Summary:
Since the late 19th century, the shop window has shaped the urban landscape, mediating between the promises of consumer goods and the desires of passersby. The exhibition "Fresh Window" at the Museum Tinguely, inspired by Marcel Duchamp's work "Fresh Widow," explores the window as a membrane between public space and hidden desire. Many artists not only earned a living through window displays but also used this setting as a testing ground to experiment with new practices. Works by artists such as Jean Tinguely, Andy Warhol and Marina Abramovic reveal how the boundary between consumer culture and artistic experimentation is continually renegotiated—sometimes ironically, sometimes shockingly.

Summary:

As a reader on avian kinship, "With a Bird," delves into the profound ways birds have inspired human understanding of life, blending scientific inquiry with spiritual reflection. Visual art, natural history, sociology, literature and more combine to explore how birds challenge and transcend boundaries—between human and non-human life, dream and reality, life and death, science and folklore and the domains of land, water and sky. Each chapter in this petite, canary-yellow paperback is dedicated to the symbolic roles birds play in human life, from death to dreams to freedom to fortune-telling.

Summary:
Landscape architecture is at a crossroads. The ability to draw upon interdisciplinary perspectives and generate insights from the combined vantage points of design, environmental studies, and the social sciences puts it in a prime position to address the most pressing issues of our time, such as climate change and social inequality. Its current reliance on digital and technological solutions, however, has increasingly caused landscape architects to lose sight of the ways in which humans actually use spaces. And while landscapes are designed all over the world, the discipline remains inordinately centered on the Global North. ''Landscape Fieldwork'' alters that long-standing paradigm through real-life examples that provide tools for practitioners to engage more deeply with multidimensional, diverse landscapes and the communities that create, live in, and use them.

Designers, chercheurs, poètes, économistes, écrivains sont invités à dialoguer avec la nouvelle génération appelée à reconfigurer nos milieux de vie.

Summary:
Fifty years after the Fall of Saigon and twenty years after her family’s emigration to America, Minh Nguyen returns to her native Vietnam to find out what’s left of the old revolutionary project. In Memorial Park, a collection of essays pairing travelogue and criticism, Nguyen encounters relics of proletarian romance and vestiges of authoritarian control amid an evermore corporatized society. Along the way, she considers how contemporary artspeak confuses state censors, the rise of luxury "Smart Cities" as they supplant socialist housing complexes, and the enduring appeal of propaganda signs that once promised utopia. Driven by a diasporic curiosity that seeks discovery over dwelling on loss, "Memorial Park" avoids nostalgic idealism or reflexive condemnation. Instead, Nguyen takes seriously the legacy of Vietnamese liberation by naming what it has become—and what it has not.

A partir du XIXe siècle, l'architecture moderniste rejeta néanmoins ces formes, tout comme celles décoratives : les oeuvres architecturales devaient être techniques et fonctionnelles, du retour du gothique à l'architecture computationnelle. L'emploi de formes historiques ainsi que la problématique de la composition perdurèrent néanmoins, réactualisés dans le travail d'architectes comme Le Corbusier, Louis Kahn ou Livio Vacchini, parmi d'autres créateurs.

Summary:
In ''Terra Infecta'', Andrea Bagnato tells an unfamiliar story about a well-known place. Since the early days of tourism, the cities and landscapes of Italy have been bywords for beauty and grandeur. But, at home and abroad, the same places have also been haunted by associations with disease and uncleanliness, often more to do with politics than conditions on the ground. In this gripping narrative study, Bagnato shows how the modern quest for sanitation shaped Italy’s urban and rural landscapes, propelling major transformations from the draining of the wetlands around Venice, to demolitions and replanning in Naples, to the expulsion of the inhabitants of ancient Matera. He argues that current north–south inequalities are founded on spurious medical narratives, and focuses on the real impact on the people caught in their ministrations. Ranging from Italian unification to the aftershocks of Covid-19, and drawing on architectural records, medical history, and the author’s own travels, ''Terra Infecta'' reveals the lived realities of grand schemes, traces of vanished communities, and forgotten histories of collective organisation and resistance.
