Summary:
Conviant quelques philosophes et de nombreux artistes, ce livre réfléchit sur l'universalité du phénomène artistique, le reliant à l'aspiration constitutive des humains et de leurs sociétés vers le plus-être et l'expérience augmentée. Cherchant ce qui fait l'essence de l'art, l'artiste et universitaire, Danielle Boutet va loin dans la psyché créatrice de l'artiste, tout comme dans celle, participative, des récepteurs. Ce faisant, elle met en lumière notre besoin vital de sens et de nous sentir partie prenante du monde. L'art apparaît alors comme la grande technologie de l'Être, c'est-à-dire un ensemble de techniques, de savoir-faire, d'instruments et d'activités dont la fonction première, intemporelle, est d'augmenter la qualité de notre rapport au monde.

Peut-on simplement les aimer et en être ému ?

For too long, artists have been told that they can't have both motherhood and a successful career. In this polemical volume, critic and campaigner Hettie Judah argues that a paradigm shift is needed within the art world to take account of the needs of artist mothers (and other parents: artist fathers, parents who don't identify with the term 'mother', and parents in other(...)

Summary:
For too long, artists have been told that they can't have both motherhood and a successful career. In this polemical volume, critic and campaigner Hettie Judah argues that a paradigm shift is needed within the art world to take account of the needs of artist mothers (and other parents: artist fathers, parents who don't identify with the term 'mother', and parents in other sectors of the art world). Drawing on interviews with artists internationally, the book highlights some of the success stories that offer models for the future, from alternative support networks and residency models, to studio complexes with onsite childcare, and galleries with family-friendly policies. Some artists have described motherhood as providing them with renewed focus, a new direction in their work, and even inspiration for a complete change of career. Other artists choose to keep their domestic and creative lives compartmentalised. All are placed at a disadvantage by the art world as it is currently structured. This book argues that by making changes and becoming more sensitive to the needs of artist parents, the art world has much to gain.

Summary:
This book presents seven interviews with the architectural historian reflecting on the long arc of his rich and influential career in the discipline. Spanning Frampton’s early years as an architecture student at the Guildford School of Art to his nearly fifty years as a professor at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, the interviews trace not only the development and implications of his work but also the cultural, political, and discursive terrain surrounding it. Here Frampton outlines the formation of his seminal ideas of "critical regionalism" and "tectonic culture," and also ruminates on how he understands his own role as a writer on architecture. The book includes an essay by Mary McLeod, which takes stock of Frampton’s "criticality" and his enduring impact on architectural practice. As a whole, this volume is as much a portrait of a thinker as a record of the books, buildings, and ideas that have inspired such profound architectural thought.

Summary:
In this provocative new account, David Joselit shows how art from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries began to function as a commodity, while the qualities of the artist, nation, or period themselves became valuable properties. Joselit explores repatriation, explaining that this is not just a contemporary conflict between the Global South and Euro-American museums, noting that the Louvre, the first modern museum, was built on looted works and faced demands for restitution and repatriation early in its history. Joselit argues that the property values of white supremacy underlie the ideology of possessive individualism animating modern art, and he considers issues of identity and proprietary authorship.

Summary:
This volume explores how leading architects of the twentieth century incorporated climate-mediating strategies into their designs, and shows how regional approaches to climate adaptability were essential to the development of modern architecture. Focusing on the period surrounding World War II—before fossil-fuel powered air-conditioning became widely available—Daniel Barber brings to light a vibrant and dynamic architectural discussion involving design, materials, and shading systems as means of interior climate control. He looks at projects by well-known architects such as Richard Neutra, Le Corbusier, Lúcio Costa, Mies van der Rohe, and Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, and the work of climate-focused architects such as MMM Roberto, Olgyay and Olgyay, and Cliff May. Drawing on the editorial projects of James Marston Fitch, Elizabeth Gordon, and others, he demonstrates how images and diagrams produced by architects helped conceptualize climate knowledge, alongside the work of meteorologists, physicists, engineers, and social scientists. Barber describes how this novel type of environmental media catalyzed new ways of thinking about climate and architectural design.

Summary:
The cycle of production and consumption, artificially accelerated by advertising and marketing, has characterised our society for decades. This cycle has recently also taken hold of the architecture of the city, leading to a waste that is both economically and ecologically unacceptable. The destruction of buildings that are not actually obsolete is just as questionable as the production of extravagant architectures for which there is no real need. This book is a protest against the merciless globalisation of the city and its dissolution into faceless, inhospitable peripheries. At the same time, it puts forward alternative strategies of urban design to counteract such globalisation and dissolution. It formulates a different approach to urbanism, one which views the city not as a carnivalesque display of vanities but as a sophisticated spatial construction that lays down the conditions for a productive, sociable, serene, and happy life.

Les images s’incarnent dans une infinie diversité d’objets, de phénomènes et de situations, semblant toujours résister à notre irrépressible besoin de les définir. À moins, peut-être, de se demander d’où elles viennent. Œuvres peintes, diagrammes, cartes, images télévisuelles, images scientifiques, ombres, photographies satellites, dessins pariétaux, se côtoient ainsi ici en douze « tableaux », pour nous faire cheminer dans cette zone liminaire et fragile où les images sont tout juste des images. Aux frontières et aux origines même de la représentation visuelle, les images premières peuvent nous aider à préciser, à raffiner, à définir, à la fois ce que nous savons sur l’image et ce que nous pouvons savoir par l’image.

Summary:
Montessori schools became trendsetting educational institutions early on, and their concept is strongly reflected in their architecture and equipment. This is the first book that comprehensively addresses architectural design, construction, and the use of materials in and the furnishing of educational spaces according to Montessori’s ideas. The book’s first part explores spatial and design principles that make up good kindergarten and school buildings. In the second part, nine case studies are featured in detail through photographs, plans, and concise texts. These examples are located in Europe (the Netherlands, Belgium, Great Britain) as well as in tropical countries (Burkina Faso, Tanzania, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka). Thus, this highly illustrative volume offers practical advice and a wealth of information that is of utmost importance for the design of school buildings in general.

Summary:
Alexander Dorner écrivit le dépassement de l’ «art» en 1947, à dessein de reconstruire les outils dont se servent l’histoire de l’art, l’esthétique et la muséologie, – à commencer par le concept d’art. Indissolublement lié à la représentation d’un espace à trois dimensions peuplé de formes exprimant des essences immuables, l’ «art» était, à ses yeux, voué à céder le pas à une «nouvelle espèce de communication visuelle» qui serait en phase avec les découvertes de la physique. Il en voyait l’émergence dans le travail d’artistes-designers, issus du constructivisme et du Bauhaus. L’ouvrage explicite en outre les principes ayant guidé Dorner dans ses expérimentations muséologiques : premier directeur d’un musée d’art contemporain, dont il aurait aimé faire une «centrale électrique sociale» productrice de nouvelles énergies, Dorner demeure une référence cruciale pour nombre d’historiens de l’art, de conservateurs et de commissaires d’exposition.
