Summary:
"What is a Museum Now?" asks about the role of a museum in contemporary society. All of Snøhetta's work is formed by the interaction between humans and their physical surroundings. Regarding this connection, the design studio recognized that a museum is a mediator between art and life. This book contains a detailed and extensive documentation of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's expansion, conducted by Snøhetta. The studio evolved the SFMOMA as a new form of art appreciation where the experience is an extension of the life of the city itself. This book presents the most recent investigation by Snøhetta into how architecture can nurture social interaction and diversity, fostering relationships where the world of the imagination and the realities of our lives come together. Accompanied by behind-the-scenes sketches, drawings and photographs that detail the design and construction process, this book is in itself an intimate engagement with the building, its art, its directors and curators, its inhabitants and its creators.

Summary:
In Berlin, decrepit structures do not always denote urban blight. Decayed buildings are incorporated into everyday life as residences, exhibition spaces, shops, offices, and as leisure space. As nodes of public dialogue, they serve as platforms for dissenting views about the future and past of Berlin. In this book, Daniela Sandler introduces the concept of counterpreservation as a way to understand this intentional appropriation of decrepitude. The embrace of decay is a sign of Berlin's iconoclastic rebelliousness, but it has also been incorporated into the mainstream economy of tourism and development as part of the city's countercultural cachet. Sandler presents the possibilities and shortcomings of counterpreservation as a dynamic force in Berlin and as a potential concept for other cities.

When Álvaro Siza finished what is known as the Boa Nova Tea House in the early 1960s, it marked the beginning of his career. Set in a challenging topography, the building stands as a symbol of architecture’s identification with, and active interpretation of, the landscape. The composition of its low, volumetric expressiveness and surrounding rocks demands a respectful attentiveness, which until recently had been steadily deteriorating. Under the supervision of Siza, a full restoration of the building’s public spaces and a deeper intervention in its service areas has been undertaken. The book contains photographs, plans and original sketches by the architect.

Dans le Montréal de 2048 où sévissent les épidémies et les dérèglements climatiques, un chanteur vedette tourmenté à l’excès par son histoire familiale revient dans sa ville natale le temps de deux concerts. Artiste culte, érudit et collectionneur égaré au milieu d’une culture planétaire en mode liquidation, Oscar De Profundis trouve sur son passage les derniers gueux encore désireux de résister. Qu’adviendra-t-il de cette rencontre que la logique politique et économique interdit? À quoi ressembleront nos sociétés dans un demi-siècle si les impératifs sécuritaires et sanitaires deviennent notre seule préoccupation? Peut-on même agir et créer dans un monde divisé entre des banlieues fournies et des cités décrépites? Dans une langue si belle et juste qu’elle bouleverse, Catherine Mavrikakis signe un roman crépusculaire dans lequel demeure néanmoins un peu de la lumière de l’aube. Car cette ode immodérée à l’art et la littérature au milieu du désastre conserve une nostalgie des commencements qui, sait-on, pourrait nous sauver.
