Summary:
Tous les professionnels de la construction s'en sont rendus compte, construire est devenu un véritable parcours du combattant, en raison des multiples réglementations et procédures qui s'y appliquent. Ces règles ne concernent plus seulement l'ouvrage lui-même et ses caractéristiques techniques (police des constructions), mais elles régissent également son incidence spatiale (aménagement du territoire), son équipement (voies d'accès et canalisations), les nuisances qui en résulteront (lors de la construction ou pendant son exploitation) ainsi que la compatibilité avec son environnement naturel ou construit. Le " droit de la construction " est ainsi devenu un véritable ordre juridique, rendu plus complexe encore par l'enchevêtrement de trois niveaux d'intervention étatique (Confédération, cantons, communes). Cette complexité s'accroît avec le fait que le législateur suisse réglemente également certains métiers de la construction ainsi que l'adjudication des marchés publics dans ce domaine. L'ouvrage des professeurs Jean-Baptiste Zufferey et Isabelle Romy présente cet ensemble de réglementations de manière synthétique, qu'il s'agisse des prescriptions de droit matériel ou de procédure. Les exposés sont illustrés de nombreux schémas et exemples tirés de la pratique.

Summary:
The Swedish artist couple Mamma Andersson and Jockum Nordstrom have been at the forefront of contemporary figurative painting since the late 1980s. Updating Vuillard for a post-Hitchcock age, Andersson paints beguilingly eerie untenanted interiors and landscapes. Nordstrom's detailed collages, paintings and drawings occupy a more folkloric realm peopled by historical and contemporary characters enacting sexual and social roles across broad narrative panoramas. This publication showcases Andersson and Nordstrom's work from the late 1980s to the present day in over 200 full-color plates. Alongside these, it also includes family snapshots and source materials, a poem by Stig Claesson and an interview with Nordstrom by Marcel Dzama.

Summary:
This publication examines the development of Epstein's work through the example of two very different series. "Recreation", exemplifies traditional American street photography in its sometimes ironized depiction of everyday circumstances, where "American Power" critiques the energy industry and its interventions in nature in much bolder gestures--cooling towers and oil refineries dominate the picture frame, riding roughshod over all rules of proportion and dwarfing anything in their vicinity. Here, in 80 color images selected from these series, Epstein's development is traced, from major protagonist of the American color photography boom to leading commentator on the state of the nation.

Summary:
In 1952, Fred Herzog emigrated from Germany to Canada, and quickly found work as a medical photographer in Vancouver. But outside the lab, Herzog also devoted himself to what was, at the time, an unusual and even frowned-upon medium: color photography. Laboring away as a virtually anonymous pioneer in this field, Herzog was quietly documenting the streets of Vancouver: its supermarkets, gas stations, bars, urban scenery and above all its working class culture. Herzog used slide film to make his photographs, which limited his ability to exhibit them and further marginalized his work; but in recent decades, happily, this color pioneer has drawn great acclaim, and this volume, the largest Herzog monograph yet published, does justice to his rich oeuvre.

Summary:
Urban spaces became battlefields, signifiers have been invaded, new structures have been established: NetCulture replaced counterculture in most parts and also focused on the everchanging environments of the modern city. Important questions have been brought up to date and reasked, taking current positions and discourses into account. The major question still remains, namely how to create culturally based resistance under the influence of capitalistic pressure and conservative politics. This collection of essays and contributions attempts to address this question and its implications for different scientific and artistic fields.
