Summary:
Entre lignes tendues et volumes généreux, le mobilier de Jean-Louis Avril occupe une place singulière dans le paysage du design français des années 1960-1970. Inspiré par l'architecture brutaliste, Jean-Louis Avril développe des meubles d'avant-garde, façonnés dans un matériau inédit : le celloderme. Son fauteuil Éléphant et sa lampe Lune comptent aujourd'hui parmi ses pièces emblématiques. Visionnaire dans son approche éthique, il milite pour un design responsable, et ses œuvres qui sont à la frontière du fonctionnel et du manifeste artistique séduisent toujours les collectionneurs et amateurs. Cet ouvrage rend hommage à ce créateur fondamental, dont l'approche audacieuse évoque une autre histoire du design du XXe siècle.

I had shot several rolls of film with the old Leica M4 camera passed on to me by my father. At that time I was an undergraduate student at Stirling University. Soon after that my life became(...)

I had shot several rolls of film with the old Leica M4 camera passed on to me by my father. At that time I was an undergraduate student at Stirling University. Soon after that my life became all about parenthood and a full-time career in social work. So the negatives from my 1970’s adventures went into storage, occasionally dragged around house moves in Scotland, but mainly forgotten for over four decades..." Heidi Alexander

Summary:
The architectural awareness and experience of space, and its creative use can profit greatly from certain aspects of “games” and the related technology. Here the author investigates a fascinating contribution of avant-garde art to the construction of space in the field of electronic games and arcades, beginning with "New Babylon", moving through the radical suggestions of the 1960's and 1970's to the commercial and experimental examples of contemporary amusement arcades. Also considered are the virtual worlds of video games which are growing increasingly complex. The book reveals in a critical way how important the element of “play” has become in today’s digital architectonic designs.

Summary:
Two Austrian-born designers have left their indelible mark on California’s residential architecture of the 1930s to 1960s: Richard Neutra (1892–1970) and Rudolph M. Schindler (1887–1953) combined modern form and inventive construction with new materials to create a truly modern vision of living that remains inspirational to the present day. This new book features twenty famous and lesser known houses from that period, designed by the two pioneers and other architects that were influenced by Neutra’s and Schindler’s ideas. All are marked by highly economical use and outstanding quality of space, a minimalist aesthetic, and by their ideal adaption to climatic conditions.

Summary:
Between 1968 and 1970, the artist collective Smokehouse Associates transformed Harlem with vibrant, community-oriented abstract murals and sculptures. Established by William T. Williams and including Melvin Edwards, Guy Ciarcia, and Billy Rose, Smokehouse grew to encompass a range of creative practitioners united around the revolutionary potential of public art. Published over fifty years after the collective’s founding, this volume offers the first critical examination of the group’s work. With previously unpublished images and ephemera and a rich chronology, it serves as a sourcebook that expands the narrative of public art and social practice in the United States to include the contributions of artists of African descent.
