Première monographie de l'artiste, cet ouvrage présente l'ensemble des travaux de Stéphane Couturier, des sites de construction berlinois jusqu'à " Alger, Climat de France " encore en cours. Ses premières séries, Archéologies urbaines (1995-1998) et Monument(s) (1999-2002), privilégiaient une architecture et un urbanisme anonymes et révélaient leurs strates temporelles. Les plus récentes telles Landscaping (2001-2004) où l'artiste photographie des lotissements résidentiels au Mexique et aux Etats-Unis, ou Melting Point – Chandigarh, (2006-2007) et Melting Point – Brasilia (2007-2010) mettent davantage l'accent sur des villes construites ex-nihilo. Au regard de cet ensemble, " Alger, Climat de France " marque à la fois une continuité et une rupture.

Summary:
Ce livre est conçu comme une promenade architecturale le long de l'île de Manhattan, s’arrêtant sur les buildings, monuments ou parcs qui ont fait l’histoire incroyable de cette ville. Un texte de l’historien de l'architecture, John Tauranac, dévoile les charmes et secrets architecturaux que renferme chacun de ces ouvrages d’art. La ville a perdu, en septembre 2001, ses deux plus hauts buildings et a ainsi vu son visage métamorphosé. Pourtant les photographies de Yann Arthus-Bertrand (prises en novembre 2009, janvier et mai 2010) présentent une mégalopole qui n’aspire qu’à rebondir et qui ne cesse de se transformer, de nous étonner et de nous faire rêver.

Summary:
In 2010 – 11 the work of Dutch sculptor Mark Manders, a winner of the Dr A.H. Heineken Prize for Art, is touring the USA for the first time, with shows at the Hammer Museum Los Angeles, Aspen Art Museum, the Walker Art Center Minneapolis, and the Dallas Museum of Art. Manders' work aims to bypass language, gathering existing and self-made objects into tableaux that incorporate figures, animals, household goods, archeological debris and architectural components, and evoke a mysterious world of daydreams and fairy tales. For this travelling exhibition and artist's book Manders has created an entirely new body of work, including sculpture and works on paper.

Summary:
By way of actions, films, installations, operas, theater pieces, television broadcasting, and teaching, Christoph Schliegensief produced work that boldly addressed contemporary culture and politics, particularly within Germany. Schlingensief’s death in the summer of 2010, which occurred as he was planning the German Pavilion for the 54th Venice Biennale, shifted the course of the 2011 program. Instead of presenting elements of Schlingensief’s project, Festspielhaus Afrika, which initiated the first “opera village,” curator Susanne Gaensheimer has developed a program and accompanying catalogue that pays tribute to one of Germany’s most radical, experimental, and progressive voices. With contributions from over thirty internationally renowned curators, artists, critics, theorists, directors, and practitioners.

Summary:
An essential characteristic of textiles is their richly intertextual nature. Textiles: Open Letter stems from an exhibition at Museum Abteiberg, Germany, plus an extensive research project (2010 14) examining the place of textiles in the history of art and culture, media, society and technology through various voices. Representing traditions found in both applied and fine arts, textiles hover between formalism and functionalism; as objects and techniques, they mediate between self and world, between affect-driven and knowledge-driven processes of appropriation. Functionally versatile, textiles are the fulcrum of an ensemble of activities, and illustrate relations between subject and object, material and immaterial, artistic and artisanal labor, and different cultures.

Summary:
From 2008 to 2010, Madrid based architects Luis M. Mansilla and Emilio Tunon held the Jean Labatut Visiting Professorship at the Princeton School of Architecture. More than a collection of student work, From Rules to Constraints is a wide ranging reflection on teaching, design practice, history and the city. Focusing on three sites at three distinct scales, this book examines the constraints of the architectural project social, political, historical, and environmental in order to create new rules for working. Examining both their teaching methods and Mansilla + Tunon`s own design work, the book presents the design process as an ongoing conversation between the building and the environment, between freedom and limits, and between the decided and undecided.

Summary:
Mateo has designed corporate headquarters, housing units, office blocks and hotels throughout Western Europe, and has also renovated urban centers in Gerona (Spain) and Castelo Branco (portugal). This volume looks back at nearly 30 years of Mateo’s built structures, as portrayed by the architectural photographer Adrià Goula. As well as buildings from the 80s and 90s, it also looks at his most important projects of the past few years, from the Banc Sabadell Headquarters renovation (2004) and the Factory office building in Boulogne-Billancourt, France (2010) to the PGGM Headquarters in Zeist, Holland (2011) and the Catalonian Film Theater in Barcelona (2011). Interspersed among Goula’s photographs are Mateo’s observations and musings on architecture.
