Travelling exhibition catalogue (Middelburg, Milan, Paris) of an exhibition project presenting 12 emerging young artists, providing a theoretical hypothesis on the use and manipulation of forms, images and texts, highlighting both their formal implications and their philosophical, political and social content.The artists will thus not only reflect on the potential themes raised by the various components, but will offer a broader reflection on the contemporary meaning of memory, and hence authenticity, fiction and falsehood. Artists include Richard Sympson, Batia Suter, Irene Kopelman, Jeroen Kooijmans, Invernomuto, Mark Geffriaud, Linda Fregni Nagler, Diego Marcon and others.

Summary:
This collection of a number of key essays by the New York-based architect and writer Mark Rakatansky proposes an innovative framework for architecture to enact the complex tectonic dramas of social and culture space. Following its title, the book is arrayed in three sections: Tectonic, Acts of, Desire and Doubt. In each, Rakatansky covers a series of subjects in a writerly voice that varies from the third-person narrative of the scholarly essays to the transcript of an email exchange with fellow academic Sarah Whiting discussing recent books by architect Greg Lynn. Transformational performances of architectural identity are explored in discussions of fabrication, social parametrics, building envelopes, spatial narratives, animation, migrancy, and in illuminating readings into the works of Louis Kahn, Robin Evans, John Coltrane, Giulio Romano and Andrea Palladio.

And it tinkers with the weather and spices the air we breathe. Billions of tons of it rise annually into the air--the dust of deserts and forgotten kings mixing with volcanic ash, sea salt, leaf fragments, scales from butterfly wings, shreds of T-shirts, and fireplace soot. Eventually, though, all this dust must settle.

En effet, longtemps envisagées comme une question purement architecturale, tout au plus technique, les surélévations sont de nos jours perçues comme un exercice complexe qui implique des approches multiples et pluridisciplinaires. Cet ouvrage vise à faire un « arrêt sur image » sur les surélévations, notamment en mettant l’accent sur la spécificité genevoise en la matière.

Summary:
Partout et constamment, la logique de l'accumulation capitaliste bouleverse les équilibres économiques et politiques, la technique et le travail, l'environnement et le climat, les sociétés et les formes de vie. Le capitalisme est, à quelque échelle qu'on le considère, un système de production de l'espace, c'est-à-dire un pouvoir de façonner les lieux, de modifier en profondeur les paysages, de transformer les rapports spatio-temporels. L'uniformisation du monde par le marché implique en effet une incessante prolifération des différences - économiques, sociales, géographiques, culturelles, géopolitiques. Ce dynamisme même fait du capitalisme un ensemble instable, en proie à des crises chroniques, perpétuellement contraint d'inventer des « solutions spatiales » aux contradictions qui le minent et aux catastrophes diverses qu'elles engendrent. Production et destruction, homogénéisation et différenciation : pour comprendre un capitalisme désormais planétaire, donc se donner les moyens d'en sortir, de briser les rapports inégalitaires qui le fondent, il est essentiel de saisir les logiques spatiales de ce mode de production. C'est à cela que nous invite l'oeuvre du géographe David Harvey, à laquelle ce livre se veut une introduction synthétique.
