Fleeing Germany before the beginning of the Second World War, he landed at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where in the 1930s he developed his theory of the "Spectodrama." Involving multimedia productions examining elementary phenomena such as space, motion, light, sound or color from scientific, technical and performance-based perspectives, the Spectodrama represents an early form of the "happening." Beyond the avant-garde utopias of the Bauhaus and his proto-happening art, Schawinsky also worked as a painter and graphic designer.

Summary:
Timber is a vital resource that is all around us. It is the house that shelters us, the furniture we relax in, the books we read, the paper we print, the disposable diapers for our babies, and the boxes that contain our cereal, detergent, and new appliances. The way we produce and consume timber, however, is changing. With international timber companies and big box discount retailers increasingly controlling through global commodity chains where and how much timber is traded, the world's remaining old-growth forests, particularly in the developing world, are under threat of disappearing - all for the price of a consumer bargain. This trailblazing book is the first to expose what's happening inside corporate commodity chains with conclusions that fundamentally challenge our understanding of how and why deforestation persists. Authors Peter Dauvergne and Jane Lister reveal how timber now moves through long and complex supply chains from the forests of the global South through the factories of emerging economies like China to the big box retail shelves of Europe and North America. Well-off consumers are getting unprecedented deals. But the social and environmental costs are extraordinarily high as corporations mine the world's poorest regions and most vulnerable ecosystems. The growing power of big retail within these commodity chains is further increasing South-North inequities and unsustainable global consumption. Yet, as this book's highly original analysis uncovers, it is also creating some intriguing opportunities to promote more responsible business practices and better global forest governance.

Simonds, the Olmsteds, Warren Manning, Rose Standish Nichols, and Jens Jensen.

Summary:
The Architecture Observer and Bedaux de Brouwer Architecten offer an homage to this multigenerational office based in North Brabant. Despite a number of prestigious commissions, the firm has always remained somewhat peripheral in the landscape of Dutch post-war architecture. Its prevailing attitude behind architecture is not to cause rifts, to break neither with its past nor with its context. Beginning with the most recent works and moving back through time, this attractive monograph outlines how Bedaux de Brouwer is at its best when the architects do not try to surprise, or to leave an unforgettable impression. With texts by Hans Ibelings, Dick van Gameren, Antonio Cruz.

The first was founded in 2016 and operates in an area where the identity is still very rural, making the office sensitive to the varied local topographies and constructive honesty. The second was founded in 2009 and has since developed work in a range of scales and tasks, from new buildings to urban planning. The third practice started in 2004 and, strongly characterised by a personal interest in craftsmanship, is known for carefully considered but powerful interventions.
