Summary:
In ''The Villa'', James Ackerman explores villa building in the West from ancient Rome to twentieth-century France and America. In this wide-ranging book, he illuminates such topics as the early villas of the Medici, the rise of the Palladian villa in England, and the modern villas of Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier. Ackerman uses the phenomenon of the 'country place' as a focus for examining the relationships between urban and rural life, between building and the natural environment, and between architectural design and social, cultural, economic, and political forces. ''The villa,'' he reminds us, ''accommodates a fantasy which is impervious to reality.'' As city dwellers idealized country life, the villa, unlike the farmhouse, became associated with pleasure and asserted its modernity and status as a product of the architect’s imagination.

Featuring a selection of images that includes never-before-seen photographs and editorial projects spanning from the 1970s to the 1990s, Personal Ads reveals Pippa Garner’s capacity for reimagining everyday life and turning it into a cultural critique. It brings to the fore how she employed fashion as a tool for bodily reinvention and art as a vehicle for personal and political expression — highlighting how she rejected categorization to embrace hybridity, humor, and radical transformation. The publication includes an interview with Pippa by Luca Lopinto, former director of Macro museum (Rome), an artistic contribution by fashion collective BLESS and an introduction by Giorgia Basch, creative Director of BilderAtlas.

Summary:
Recently opened to the public for the first time, the home of the Futurist artist Giacomo Balla is depicted and inventoried in this book. The apartment in Rome in which Balla lived with his family for over 30 years was covered with lively murals, painted furniture, decorated utensils and clothes, as well as preparatory drawings, stage designs, toys and other works by the artist, together with paintings by his two daughters Luce and Elica. The numerous paintings by Balla kept in the apartment range from his early figurative period to the Futurist aesthetics of the 1910s and ’20s and a return to representation in the latter part of his life. Together they create a kaleidoscopic example of total design, reflecting the indissoluble link between art and life that lay at the root of Futurist thinking.

Named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, the garden is widely considered to be one of the finest examples of Italian Renaissance gardens in Europe. Villa d’Este was first conceived of in 1550 by the governor of Tivoli, Cardinal Ippolito II d’Este, who had long envisioned a garden built on the slopes of the valley known as Valle Gaudente. But it was only after 1560 that the villa’s architectural and iconological blueprint was defined by painter-archaeologist-architect Pirro Ligorio and executed by court architect Alberto Galvani. When Ippolito d’Este died in 1572, the project was nearly complete.

Summary:
This important book puts forward a new interpretation of Roman decorative art, focusing on the function of decoration in the social context. It examines the three principal areas of social display and conspicuous consumption in the Roman world: social space, entertainment, and dress, and discusses the significance of the decoration of objects and interiors within these contexts, drawing examples from both Rome and its environs, and the Western provinces, from the early Imperial period to Late Antiquity. Focusing on specific examples, including mosaics and other interior decor, silver plate, glass and pottery vessels, and jewellery and other dress accessories, Swift demonstrates the importance of decoration in creating and maintaining social networks and identities and fostering appropriate social behaviour, and its role in perpetuating social convention and social norms.

Tout a commencé par la décision d’une rencontre, et la réciprocité qu’elle enclenche ; c’est la première scène : décider d’y aller voir de plus près. Michel Agier et Sara Prestianni décrivent dans cet ouvrage des « jungles », campements et squats à Patras, Rome, Calais et Paris. Ce sont des refuges où l’on s’abrite dans un contexte hostile, des lieux où des habitants en transit s’inventent un quotidien dans le temps de l’attente. Leur hospitalité, leur sourire et leur désir d’autrui ont un sens politique qui déroute les politiques de la « guerre aux migrants ». Aux commentaires qui associent trop souvent leur condition précaire à des existences inférieures, ils opposent par leurs regards droits, par leurs gestes et leur manière d’habiter ces lieux, une présence digne. michel agier, anthropologue, est directeur d’études à l’EHESS.
