Summary:
Celebrated as one of the most innovative and daring architects of the twentieth century, Bruce Goff (1904–1982) imagined a truly independent modern American architecture throughout his six-decade-long career, which began when he was just twelve years old, working as an apprentice at an architectural firm in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Distinguishing himself from the restrained modernism of the postwar period, Goff created single-family homes that were at once livable and adventurous, featuring radical spatial relationships, and designed fantastical large-scale commercial and industrial spaces. His architectural legacy often overshadows his equally experimental artistic career; this book explores the full sweep of Goff’s creativity, which flowed between media and artistic practices. It highlights 150 objects, including architectural drawings and models; abstract paintings; and photographs, ephemera, and building fragments. Inspired by a range of cultural and artistic traditions, from Native American art to Japanese joinery and the landscapes of science fiction, Goff’s work represents a unique synthesis of diverse influences.

Summary:
This guide is a celebration of the works of professional architects in three South African metropolitan centres, namely Cape Town, Durban and the Johannesburg/Pretoria Axis. The content ranges from the early years of European settlement, where architects were trained by the military schools of engineering, through the period of apprenticeship either to a recognised practicing architect or in public works, to the twentieth century and beyond, where architects were regulated as professionals by legislation, as was their education. The projects selected are all secular, being either in the public domain or eye, and therefore readily accessible. This guide is structured along main themes, each historically located. Each episode or project type featured is highlighted by a representative from each metropolitan centre, each being discussed in broader detail alongside similar contemporaneous local examples. In total the guide features over a hundred-and-fifty projects with all salient information as to their dates of construction, designers and locality (by way of QR codes).

Summary:
Monographie de référence : un parcours complet, sur près de 10 ans, de l'œuvre de l'artiste française récompensée du Lion d'argent à la 55e Biennale de Venise, en quelque 400 images, avec deux essais et un entretien. D'abord reconnu pour ses vidéos et films d'animation qui mêlent dessin, musique et images cinématographiques, parfois grattées ou retravaillées, le travail de Camille Henrot (née en 1978, vit et travaille à Paris) brouille les catégories traditionnellement hiérarchiques de l'histoire de l'art. Ses dernières œuvres, qui se déclinent sous forme de sculptures, dessins, photographies, et toujours films, traitent de la fascination exercée par l'ailleurs et par l'autre (géographique, mais aussi sexuel), fascination reprise dans les mythes populaires modernes dont s'inspire Camille Henrot. Les objets hybrides, impurs, de l'artiste jettent un doute sur l'écriture linéaire et cloisonnée de l'histoire occidentale, et soulignent sa part d'emprunts et ses zones d'ombres.
