Summary:
This richly illustrated monograph looks at André Volten's stylistic development by examining a large number of works from his sculptural output. The writers also consider Volten's significance to sculpture in the Netherlands and on the international art scene, as well as discussing his development of the Constructivist aesthetic. Since the 1950s, André Volten (b. 1925) has made an exceptional contribution to sculpture in public space, and examples of his prolific output can be seen in the Netherlands and beyond. He has also been an important protagonist in the debate about the need for art within the public domain. The integration of architecture and visual art, as seen in Volten's work, demonstrates how these two disciplines can complement and invigorate each other.

Summary:
Perhaps most well known for the iconic sculpture "Cadillac Ranch" and performances like "Media Burn", the radical architecture and media art group Ant Farm created an abundance of works across disciplines — including video, publications, built environments, and performance. Less known are the group’s “time capsule” works made throughout their career, which rejected the idea of the time capsule as a reliable means of cultural preservation. Published as a supplement to the exhibition "The Present Is the Form of All Life: The Time Capsules of Ant Farm and LST", this book features essays, an interview with LST, and many never before published or reproduced images of archival material, tracing the time capsule works of Ant Farm and successor group LST from analog archive to digital database.

Dating from the early 1970s, ‘'Design and the Building Site'’ is Sérgio Ferro’s most influential theoretical work. Written just after Ferro had arrived in France after fleeing the military dictatorship that took power in Brazil in 1964 and arrested him in 1970 for his involvement in active resistance, the essay reflects much of what he had left behind: encounters with(...)

Summary:
Dating from the early 1970s, ‘'Design and the Building Site'’ is Sérgio Ferro’s most influential theoretical work. Written just after Ferro had arrived in France after fleeing the military dictatorship that took power in Brazil in 1964 and arrested him in 1970 for his involvement in active resistance, the essay reflects much of what he had left behind: encounters with Brasilia’s harsh construction sites; experiences with the collective ''Arquitetura Nova''; work on the editorial committee of the journal ''Teoria e Prática''; and the year Ferro spent in prison, befriending construction workers and reading Freud. The text constitutes a critique of architectural production under capitalism, surveying the political economy of architectural production and its influence on the contemporary practice of architecture. Half a century after its first publication, and in the face of capitalism’s greatest crisis, it has never offered such a pressingly relevant call for action. This edition contextualises and expands on Ferro’s essay with earlier and later texts, clarifying both the contextual and theoretical elements at play in its argument. A preface written by Ferro especially for this first English-language edition recounts his journey from Brasilia’s building sites to the experiments of ''Arquitetura Nova'', as well as a topic he has rarely touched on before: postmodernism.

While most books on architecture focus on the architectural outcome itself, ''Architects on dwelling'' takes a close look at how that outcome is created. To design any kind of dwelling, architects draw on both their reservoir of ideas as well as their own experiences as fellow inhabitants of such structures.

Summary:
While most books on architecture focus on the architectural outcome itself, ''Architects on dwelling'' takes a close look at how that outcome is created. To design any kind of dwelling, architects draw on both their reservoir of ideas as well as their own experiences as fellow inhabitants of such structures. This book explores how architects design the places we inhabit and how those places in turn inform the manner in which we live, in ways beyond lifestyle and personal taste. Through contributions by Stephen Hoey, Henry McKeown & Ian Alexander, James Mitchell, Stacey Philips, Christopher Platt, Adrian Stewart, and Miranda Webster—most of whom are Scotland-based practitioners as well as teachers in The Glasgow School of Art—it reveals the unique values and qualities that inform their design processes. In their essays, they focus mostly on one exemplary building, explaining how and why they design the way they do. Dick van Gameren, Simon Henley, and Graeme Hutton, distinguished experts and themselves architect-educators, place this work within an international context and provide insightful comment about what these design approaches inform us about contemporary design in Scotland. Complemented with a wide range of images, these essays both illuminate the architects’ motivations and inspirations and celebrate their featured works.

Summary:
"Spaces of Uncertainty" is a publication on issues of contemporary urban space, from the particular view of two young architects, Kenny Cupers and Markus Miessen. Their photographic and theoretic research constitutes a double movement, which opens up the traditional architectural gaze towards the social spectrum of urban spaces, while simultaneously offering an original theory of contemporary cultural practice. The issue of public space is one that crosses interdisciplinary boundaries and attracts high interest in the fields of architecture, urbanism, sociology and cultural studies. With Berlin as a case study for a globalised urban condition, the publication aims at a wide international public by providing a broadly conceived theory that approaches the city at the same time as a material phenomenon and as a social and philosophical idea. Public space in its traditional interpretations is unable to follow the heartbeat of today's rapidly changing city. Instead of adding force to an ongoing rhetorical discourse of loss, this publication acknowledges the existence of places beyond traditional definition. With a photographic essay on Berlin, it opens an unexpectedly contemporary view upon this agitated debate. Left with enormous amounts of infill and fallow land, Berlin is a city in which residual space and public space lose their definitions. As playgrounds for micro-political activities, permanent hiding-places or areas for temporary occupation, its residual spaces prove their necessity. Shy and unassuming, these very spaces of uncertainty show their value for public life in the contemporary city. With contributions by Margaret Crawford, Hilde Heynen, Paul Davies, Paul Halliday and Jürgen Mayer H.

Summary:
Se risquer à prendre l'initiative d'un projet n'est pas toujours un bon calcul. Cet engagement personnel compte trop peu en face des projets de ceux qui détiennent l'autorité. Être intégré à ceux-là en revanche est une stratégie qui peut se révéler plus rentable. Ce n'est pas là une simple formalité. Soit. Mais la participation au projet se mérite parce que c'est un gage de réussite sinon une fin en soi. Le tout sera donc d'en être en se connectant au réseau porteur. Le projet, tel que le définissent Luc Boltanski et Eve Chiapello dans Le Nouvel Esprit du Capitalisme, est bien " l'occasion et le prétexte de la connexion ", l'occasion et le prétexte de rencontres et de discussions entre des personnes réactives, mobiles, motivées et impliquées ailleurs. Car il ne suffira pas d'un seul projet pour avoir l'air d'être à la hauteur ; il en faudra sans cesse de nouveaux, et si possible plusieurs à la fois. Ainsi la vie s'écoulera au rythme des projets auxquels vous aurez la capacité de répondre. Faute de quoi, vous donnerez l'impression de stagner. L'activité de Kristina Solomoukha consiste autant à s'engager dans des projets qu'à penser et à matérialiser les formes que prend cet engagement. Projet (1997) en représente toutes les étapes en même temps qu'il les active. Son développement et sa représentation ne font qu'un. Sa mise en œuvre correspond à l'objectif qu'est sa mise en vue. Pour être transparent dans son processus, Projet reste conforme aux rouages et à l'économie de n'importe quel projet digne de ce nom. Mais toutes les phases, comme les liens entre elles, ne sont mises en forme que par des éléments au symbolisme quasiment caricatural. Projet tient ainsi dans une forme de représentation standard : la maquette. Y figurent des constructions dont l'architecture signe la fonction avec le symbolisme " cheap " d'une ville Playmobil. Un temple à colonnades figure une banque et la banque figure la phase financement du projet : simplification de circonstance qui fait écho aux schématismes efficaces de la syntaxe entreprenariale autant que de la planification urbaine. Architecture et " culture du projet " ont en commun d'être les cadres, matériels ou procéduraux, qui orientent nos manières d'agir. Comment dès lors ne pas s'y plier aveuglément, sans toutefois prétendre vainement s'en défaire ? Imaginer un télescopage comique entre la grammaire du pouvoir et la pensée d'un sujet critique. Par exemple, exprimer les préoccupations personnelles de l'artiste au travail en pourcentages et en données statistiques (Journal intime, 1994-2001). Drôle de combinaison qui ne montre pas une incompatibilité. Elle tourne plutôt en dérision l'étroitesse sinon l'inflexibilité de certains cadres qui donnent lieu à des situations absurdes. C'est en proposant de nouvelles configurations urbaines ou des architectures inédites que les dessins de Kristina Solomoukha grossissent malicieusement les aberrations contemporaines. Dans tous ses travaux, la critique est le résultat d'une tentative de participation et d'implication. Comme si en creux se dessinait le portrait collectif d'un sujet contemporain dépassé par des structures de pouvoir et des mécanismes économiques qui tournent à plein mais dans le vide. Qu'un projet aboutisse est gratifiant. C'est la preuve de l'efficacité de votre collaboration mais son aboutissement met un terme au projet dans lequel vous donniez enfin la pleine mesure de vos compétences. Projet débouche lui sur des produits dérivés qui le bouclent, sans l'achever. Ils renvoient à l'impulsion initiale.

Summary:
With a title that refers to the development of ideas through one’s own initiative, "Marble Fairbanks : bootstrapping" is an examination of the techniques of pattern and performance in the speculative and built work of the New York architecture firm. This book approaches those organizational issues with pictorial and written documentation of three recent architectural projects: Marble Fairbanks' proposal for the Fashion Institute of Technology Campus Extension in New York, Housing Ecologies, an urban housing scheme, and their award-winning entry for the Chicago Public Schools Competition. The complexity of these issues is also examined in a thought-provoking conversation with Marble Fairbanks and Reinhold Martin, editor of the journal Grey Room and author of The Organizational Complex. "Bootstrapping" concludes with architect Michael Bell’s essay on subjectivity, urbanism, and architecture in Marble Fairbanks' work, and is the latest addition to the Michigan Architecture Papers publication series of Charles and Ray Eames lectures given by contemporary architects.

Summary:
Colonial Modern: Aesthetics of the Past, Rebellions for the Future is a reader on the relationship between modernism and the project of modernisation in architecture, as well as the intertwining of both in the context of colonialism and decolonisation. It focuses on the dual topics of the relationship between the post-war aesthetic regime of modernism and the project of modernization in architecture and urban planning, as well as on the highly charged intertwining of both in the context of colonialism and decolonization. It is based on the exhibition In the Desert of Modernity: Colonial Planning and After , which traced these connected histories of modern architecture and urban planning in colonial northern Africa and Europe, and was first exhibited in 2008 at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, Germany. The book reflects contemporary research into architectural modernism and colonialism, and utilizes the thesis of “negotiated modernism” to initiate new debates on conceptions of modernism and, inevitably, postmodernism in an interdisciplinary context.
