Summary:
Wole Soyinka is also a longtime art collector. This book of essays offers a glimpse into the motivations of the collector, as well as a highly personal look at the politics of aesthetics and collecting. Detailing moments of first encounter with objects that drew him in and continue to affect him, Soyinka describes a world of mortals, muses, and deities that imbue the artworks with history and meaning. Beyond Aesthetics is a passionate discussion of the role of identity, tradition, and originality in making, collecting, and exhibiting African art today. Soyinka considers objects that have stirred controversy, and he decries dogmatic efforts—whether colonial or religious—to suppress Africa’s artistic traditions.

London's alleyways have a habit of leading to unexpected places. They act as the city’s library: echoing the routes of trade, lost rivers, burial roads, disputed boundaries, tracks of animals and people.

Summary:
Drawing on the writings of Wallace Stevens, Marilynne Robinson and other poets, artists, musicians and thinkers, Brooklyn-based photographer Tim Carpenter (born 1968) argues passionately—in one main essay and a series of lively digressions—that photography is unique among the arts in its capacity for easing the fundamental ache of our mortality; for managing the breach that separates the self from all that is not the self; for enriching one’s sense of freedom and personhood; and for cultivating meaning in an otherwise meaningless reality. Printed in three colors that reflect the various ''voices'' of the book, the text design follows several channels of thought, inviting various approaches to reading. A unique and instructive contribution to the literature on photography, Carpenter’s research offers both a timely polemic and a timeless resource for those who use a camera.

Price:

(available to order)
Summary:
Precision is necessary in the field of architecture, and new technologies have increased demands for accuracy, particularly when the smallest errors can have outsized consequences. However, the importance of precision, or exactitude, has not received the consideration it merits. While themes of sustainability, performance, and formal innovation have been at the forefront of architectural scholarship for the past twenty years, this book moves beyond these concerns to explore the theoretical and practical demands exactitude makes on architecture as a field. The eleven essays collected here investigate the possibilities and shortcomings of exactitude and delve into current debates about the state of contemporary architecture as both a technological craft and artistic creation. Featuring new work by leading theorists, historians, editors, architects, and scholars, this volume brings theory and practice into insightful and productive conversations.

Summary:
Ingénieur formé à l'architecture, Franck Boutté est de ceux qui considèrent l'environnement comme faisant partie intégrante des processus d'aménagement. C'est d'abord à ce titre, et pour saluer la qualité de ses interventions dans des projets emblématiques tels que ceux de l'Île de Nantes, des villes et quartiers marocains d'Anfa et Zenata - avec Bernard Reichen -, ou de Bordeaux Euratlantique que le jury du Grand Prix de l'urbanisme l'a choisi pour lauréat 2022. Mais ce choix tient également à l'originalité de sa démarche, qui associe la rigueur de la méthode scientifique et la souplesse de l'adaptation aux contextes territoriaux. S'appuyant sur la première, il identifie très en amont la spécificité écologique et le profil énergétique des territoires au travers d'une approche matricielle garante de cohérence entre les échelles ; quant à la seconde, elle prend corps sous la forme d'un urbanisme négocié et co-construit, soucieux des usages, misant sur le principe de mutualisation - entre autres énergétique - à l'origine de nouvelles réciprocités urbaines et territoriales. Ce travail, guidé par une recherche constante de résilience, de sobriété et de moyens pour protéger les villes du réchauffement climatique, entre en dialogue avec celui des six personnalités et collectifs sélectionnés cette année : Dominique Alba, Nicolas Détrie, Sébastien Marot, Claire Schorter, Simon Teyssou et TVK (Pierre Alain Trévelo et Antoine Viger-Kohler). Six voix fortes porteuses, chacune à leur manière, de transitions souhaitables, pour un Grand Prix qui, année après année, explore les facettes d'un monde professionnel de plus en plus rétif à la standardisation.
