Summary:
"Asymptote", an award-winning New York City-based architectural firm, expands the boundaries of traditional practice with work that ranges from buildings and urban design to computer-generated environments. Recognized internationally as both cutting-edge architects and virtual-reality artists, Asymptote partners Lise Anne Couture and Hani Rashid have designed and written the first book to document their ‘real world’ (as opposed to virtual) projects completed since 1995. It includes work as diverse as a trading floor for the New York Stock Exchange; a multimedia research park in Kyoto, Japan; a modular furniture system for Knoll; and a centre for art and technology for the Guggenheim Museum in Soho, New York. Rashid and Couture’s work is intriguing because it draws inspiration from a wide range of sources not traditionally associated with architecture – among them the design of airline interiors, sporting equipment, and organic systems like seashells and honeycombs; and various means of communicating and disseminating information. Asymptote presents a seamless trajectory of projects organized in a non-linear fashion and illustrated with installation photographs, collaged photographs, and computer-generated diagrams and environments. The projects are interspersed with descriptive text and the speculative writing that Asymptote is known for. Both partners combine architectural practice with teaching, Rashid at Columbia University and Couture at Columbia and Parsons School of Design.

Summary:
Archibald Quincy Jones (1913–79) was a Los Angeles-based architect and educator who shared the Case Study goal of reinventing the house as a way of redefining the way people lived in post-war America. A pioneer in ‘greenbelt’ planning and ‘green’ design, Jones raised the level of the tract house in California from the simple stucco box to a structure of beauty and logic surrounded by gardens and integrated into the landscape. He introduced new materials and also a new way of living within the built environment, and his work bridged the gap between custom-built and developer-built homes. The exquisite detailing and siting of Jones’s houses, churches, civic and university buildings make them quintessential embodiments of mid-century American architecture. This is the first book published on Jones. It documents his full career, from his post-war planning projects to his long association with Palo Alto building magnate Joseph Eichler. The book is comprised of two parts: a substantial introductory essay tracing Jones’s life and career, with a summary of key projects and his contributions to planning; and a catalogue of sixty of Jones’s projects illustrated with high-quality black-and-white period photographs, and plans and renderings by Jones.

Summary:
This book offers a comprehensive account of the architecture of Florence, setting the city’s buildings within the political, economic, and cultural contexts in which they were made. The rapid expansion of its banking interests and its wool and textile industries brought Florence prosperity, and it became, under Medici power, the heart of the European Renaissance, and the sponsor of pivotal architectural works. Stretching from the city’s foundation by Julius Caesar in 59 BC to modern times, the text takes a thematic approach. It begins with a historical overview, then moves on to look at buildings associated with the powers of Church and State, followed by the practicalities of building and the main architectural types, ending with modern developments. Buildings covered range from the Duomo, with Brunelleschi’s cupola, and the Palazzo Pitti, to neighbourhood churches and piazzas. Landmark modernist buildings include those by architect Pier Luigi Nervi. The visual wealth of the city is reflected in specially commissioned photography, while original plans and paintings by Florentine masters emphasize the historical context. In addition to a glossary of Italian terms and biographical notes on major figures, the book includes a foldout map with a key to the buildings discussed.

It covers all types of work, from art to photojournalism, fashion to digital photography. A landmark event in the photography world, "Blink" presents the work of 100 photographers. They have been selected by 10 world class curators, each proposing 10 photographers who they consider to have emerged and broken new ground in the last five years. Each of the photographers (arranged A–Z) is featured over two double-page spreads, which show numerous examples of their work alongside an explanatory text by the selecting curator and biographical information about the photographer. The curators have also chosen texts by 10 writers, ranging from fiction to journalism, which they feel illustrate the cultural context surrounding the photography.

Jean Nouvel s'est fait connaître en France et à l'étranger par ses nombreuses réalisations. Certaines lui ont valu décorations et distinctions. Cet ouvrage met en valeur ses projets les plus récents, nombreux et singuliers, radicaux et peu connus. Cahiers d'images (dont celles inédites de Georges Fessy) et cahiers de textes se succèdent pour présenter les différents bâtiments. Les textes articulent chacune des séquences : La parole est d'abord donnée à Jean Nouvel avec un ensemble de textes et de conférences, la plupart non publiées et récentes. Viennent ensuite des essais portant sur les problématiques les plus pertinentes de l'architecte (contributions de Paul Virilio sur le caractère cinématique de son oeuvre, Yehuda Safran sur la dématérialisation, Jean-Paul Robert sur l'engagement de l'architecture en tant qu'"état du monde"), les différentes étapes de sa démarche (contributions de Frédéric Migayrou sur les desseins conceptuels, Jacques Lucan sur l'esthétique de l'immanence), puis un éloge de la multiplicité par Chantal Béret. A travers les différentes séquences de son oeuvre livrées au public comme de véritables "stations visuelles", Jean Nouvel explore les modes de la représentation de l'architecture.

Summary:
"Prenant appui sur les politiques institutionnelles, l'auteur montre comment le musée virtuel résulte en fait d'une interprétation du support numérique qui en hypostasie la portée spectaculaire au lieu d'en favoriser l'appréhension documentaire. Le musée virtuel réaliserait ainsi la parfaite concrétisation des objectifs économiques et éducatifs du musée, en parfaite résonnance avec le régime d'industrialisation culturelle qui règle la fréquentation du patrimoine. Mais au-delà, c'est bien du devenir de l'institution muséale dont il est question. Plutôt que de prédire la disparition de l'institution au profit de son avatar virtuel, on choisit d'ancrer ici l'interrogation dans l'histoire des relations qui unissent l'oeuvre d'art et le musée, depuis deux siècles. L'extrême plasticité du musée est mise à jour : ne serait-il pas apte à conserver et légitimer les propositions d'un art numérique aussi délocalisé soit-il? Déjà rôdé à l'absorption d'oeuvres reproductibles, de traces ou d'intentions, le musée d'art contemporain déjoue perpétuellement sa fin prévisible. Cette fois-ci la métamorphose le porte du côté de la médiathèque. Le devenir du musée se nourrit d'une perception essentiellement documentaire du patrimoine artistique. Incorporé aux industries de la mémoire, le musée nous projette désormais dans un passé actualisé et un présent pérenne."
