Summary:
John Hejduk is known to critics as a theoretician, teacher, poet and draftsman of extraordinary architecture, but he was above all an architect and builder in the deepest way. His built architectures have been rarely investigated but they manifest that his work finds its purpose in the act of building. This book attempts to give a complete interpretation of his built work, which includes a number of buildings and architectural installations created between 1980 and 2000, through the analysis of archival documents, analytical drawings and an extensive photographic apparatus, showing the tangible value of Hejduk's thought on architecture and the important role played by his works in the transformation of the city.

The prints, which are both highly geometric and brightly coloured, are reproduced in the book at their actual size. Textual elements accent the various abstract shapes and repetitions on almost every page. ‘Small Prints’ is available in two different cover versions, which itself is the result of a printing experiment. By printing the contents of the book in three layers on a single print sheet, which was then cut and folded, variations in the cover emerged.

Summary:
Centred on the Fundación ENAIRE by GFA2, this volume is the opening publication in a new series, ''First works''. Often going untold, the series attempts to package and present the making of early built work of young and emerging architects. It is an effort to make evident not only the finished documents of a building but those that tell the story of how the process was undertaken and the challenges were navigated. Collectively, the series acts as both a repository of emerging work, an opportunity for a young generation of architects to publish, and as a guide of sorts for the generation below them who are yet to complete their own first work. GFA2 is an architectural practice based in Santander, Spain, and Sydney, Australia. Co-founded by Gabriel and Guillermo Fernández-Abascal in 2018, the office approaches design from an intellectual and technical background, simultaneously. GFA2’s collaborative environment enables the delivery of a broad set of projects across various scales and locations.The projects are clear and direct, creating spatial frameworks where contemporary life unfolds in all their complexity.

Summary:
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:
Finding your way around Sami building culture and architecture can be a challenge, as the material is scattered and sometimes inaccessible. This book is intended as both an introduction and a guide to deepening one's knowledge of the subject - in North Sami, Norwegian and English. In October 2021, the National Museum opened an exhibition of architect and artist Joar Nango's nomadic architectural library Girjegumpi. During the opening weekend, the museum organized a seminar on Sami architecture, and the lectures from the seminar are the basis for the book. Here you can read more about Nango's work Girjegumpi, Sami building practices, the treatment of the Sami in the history of architecture in Norway, how reconstruction and Norwegianization went hand in hand, the phenomenon of kjempelávvu, and also get an overview of Sami architecture on the Norwegian side of Sápmi.
