Summary:
Modernism dominated craft and design in Canada from the 1940's through the 1970's. At one time Canadian art museums encouraged industrial design and even The National Gallery of Canada presented several exhibitions meant to introduce the country to the work of Canadian designers and the modernist style. This publication outlines the modernist viewpoints held by Canada's most prominent designers and craft artists working in this period. Featured are dozens of pieces of furniture, ceramics, and household items that best illustrate modernist preoccupation with form, color, texture, experimentation, functionality, and honest use of materials. Items chosen reflect an interest in new materials and techniques and an awareness of contemporary trends in abstract art and Modern architecture. Accompanied by biographies of the leading designers of the time.

(available to order)
Summary:
This publication documents an unusual project by a multidisciplinary group of architects based at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London and collectively known as sixteen*(makers). Composed of some of the most innovative architects in Europe, the group focuses on interactive 'intelligent' systems employing digital fabrication, robotics, and distributed networks of sensors and microprocessors. The project 55/02 is a form of forest shelter that engages with the landscape and is designed to address the visitor towards the particular qualities of its unique placement. It is at once a shelter, a sculpture, a vantage point, and a geographical marker. Essays by the project's authors describe the creation/building process and speculate on the work and its significance. The project's name comes from its coordinates, (55° 11.30 N, 02° 29.23 W, '55/02'), in Northumbria, England. In 2011 the building was awarded a prize by the Royal Institute of British Architects.

Le « RÉSO », entièrement accessible au public, comprend des stations de métro et des gares, des halls d’immeubles, de bureaux et d’habitation, des galeries marchandes, des pavillons universitaires et bien d’autres structures. Toronto a connu avec le « PATH » une évolution similaire, et les deux métropoles ont acquis pour ces aménagements une renommée internationale. Résultat de plusieurs années de recherche, ce livre décrit deux expériences d’urbanisme tridimensionnel. Il retrace leur historique et aborde les grandes questions qui se sont posées au fil des années. Quelles sont les conditions favorables à l’extension d’une ville intérieure? Quels en sont les obstacles? Quels sont les rôles respectifs des autorités publiques et des entreprises privées? Dans quelle mesure les usagers et les citoyens en général ont-ils leur mot à dire dans ce genre de développement urbain? Le développement de la ville intérieure est-il terminé ou faut-il s’attendre à un nouvel essor?

Summary:
The authors trace the evolution of the Western garden from the first plots cultivated for pleasure in the Middle East to today's diverse green spaces that challenge traditional ideas about what constitutes a garden. They examine the changing attitude toward nature--as something to be dominated or embraced, ordered or allowed to range freely, exploited or conserved.
