Summary:
David T. Hanson's photographs of the coal-mining town of Colstrip, Montana, and the ruined landscape around it were exhibited by John Szarkowski at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1986. The work signaled a shift in American landscape photography, away from the cool modernism of the New Topographics. For this publication, Hanson has added 21 images and re-sequenced the series. Although the photographs were made in the early 1980s, they are perhaps even more relevant today, given growing concerns about energy production, environmental degradation and climate change. The pictures remain tragic reflections of a despoiled environment.

Further distending his process, the artist often lets years pass after developing his film before viewing the images.

Summary:
Architecte-designer et scénographe, Bruno Moinard a réalisé avec son équipe de l'agence 4B1 des boutiques de luxe, des musées, des sièges sociaux, des grands magasins, des appartements et des maisons prestigieuses. Observateur passionné par la vie, il parcourt inlassablement le monde, toujours accompagné d'un grand cartable rempli de feutres, de crayons de couleur et d'encres de Chine. Ses croquis d'architecte rigoureux et limpides ainsi que ses aquarelles enlevées et instinctives dévoilent le jardin secret de ce globe trotter. Jusque là enfouis dans des tiroirs, ces gouaches, collages et dessins, très personnels, denses et colorés, composent les pages d'un journal intime, souvent très drôle. Ils présentent les thèmes chers à l'architecte, l'amour de la couleur, de la lumière, des lignes dépouillées qui disent tout avec trois fuis rien et peuvent servir de prémices aux grandes réalisations fut ores.

L'urbanisme, terme apparu récemment dans la langue (au début du XXe siècle), n'est pas aisé à définir. Il a suscité de nombreuses " théories " dont aucune n'a fait l'unanimité. Peut-être cette difficulté s'explique-t-elle par le caractère essentiellement pluridisciplinaire d'une activité qui vise à créer dans le temps une disposition ordonnée de l'espace, en recherchant(...)

L'urbanisme, terme apparu récemment dans la langue (au début du XXe siècle), n'est pas aisé à définir. Il a suscité de nombreuses " théories " dont aucune n'a fait l'unanimité. Peut-être cette difficulté s'explique-t-elle par le caractère essentiellement pluridisciplinaire d'une activité qui vise à créer dans le temps une disposition ordonnée de l'espace, en recherchant harmonie, bien-être et économie. En effet, l'urbanisme relève autant de l'art que de l'architecture, de l'économie que de la sociologie, de l'histoire que de la géographie, du droit que de l'ingénierie.
