Summary:
Otto Treumann (1919-2001) is regarded as a major pioneer in the modernization of graphic design in the Netherlands. Premised on Swiss typography and the Bauhaus, Treumann's oeuvre is distinguished by an easy-to-read combination of visual elements and an iconoclastic treatment of colour. These benefit from his wide knowledge of printing techniques acquired during the Second World War when he forged documents for the resistance. He enjoyed a special relationship with industrial clients, invariably achieving top quality and innovation in the arena where economics meets culture. His work has proved eminently suitable for house styles and logos, including those for Wolters Noordhoff the publishers, the Kröller-Müller Museum, the Royal Institute of Dutch Architects and El Al Airlines. He also designed posters for the Industries Fair in Utrecht, the Rotterdam Ahoy' and Tattoo in Delft. The book is designed by Irma Boom.

Summary:
Frédéric Borel, diplômé de l'Ecole spéciale d'architecture en 1982 et lauréat du concours Programme architecture nouvelle l'année suivante, ouvre son agence à Paris en 1984. Il réalise ensuite en 1986, rue Ramponeau et boulevard de Belleville, deux immeubles de logements très sculpturaux qui, en offrant aux passants l'espace habituellement privatisé des cours, deviennent emblématiques d'un nouvel hédonisme architectural. Les projets suivants, plus radicaux, notamment les immeubles de la rue Oberkampf (1993) et de la rue Pelleport (1999), l'université d'Agen (2001) ou la future école d'architecture de Paris Val-de-Seine, proposent de véritables récits de formes toujours soucieux de révéler le caractère onirique de tout paysage, du plus banal au plus bouleversé, du plus homogène au plus acculturé. Au-delà du pur plaisir visuel que ces œuvres raffinées peuvent susciter, Richard Scoffier s'est attaché à reconstituer le cheminement d'une pensée cohérente qu'il traduit sous la forme d'une succession de manifestes.

Summary:
What began as an academic initiative to improve the quality of life of the poor strata of the population has now become a professional “do tank” offering services that cover the entire spectrum of urban development. The celebrated Chilean architect, winner of the 2016 Pritzker Prize and Director of the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale, Alejandro Aravena (born 1967) founded Elemental in 2001 in his hometown with the goal of alleviating social deprivation directly instead of hoping for a balance of income relations. Besides building public facilities and public housing, Elemental also develops new approaches for the reorganization of resources and the potential of cities by means of projects devoted to infrastructure and transportation. This volume, first published in 2013 and now back in print, documents the social activity and history of the international architectural team and sheds light on its financing strategies, for example through participatory building.

Summary:
War has entered the cities. Since September 11, 2001 at the latest, it has become apparent that this is the case not only in Jerusalem and the Middle East, but also in Western metropolises. This book presents a thorough investigation of the current situation in Jerusalem from a trilateral perspective: Israeli, Palestinian, and international experts air their views. The discussion centers on the production and use of urban space under the conditions created by the conflict, including, for example, the so-called security fence, urban enclaves, exclaves, the approach to monuments and no-man’s-land, and the instrumentalization of infrastructures, which leads to the crass juxtaposition of highly developed and impoverished urban spaces. The conflict, however, does not bring with it destruction and violence alone, but also exhibits ambivalent effects and, along with them, new cultural and urban realities. Jerusalem has become a prototype in the age of new urban violence.
