Summary:
The legacy of the twentieth century, its dogmas and its principles of ethics, are obsolete and useless; the twenty-first century presents itself with totally original and contradictory features, which need to be reflected upon in an exploratory way, without attempting to recreate a new orthodoxy, but rather a rarefied system of anarchic hypotheses and experimentation,(...)

Summary:
This book documents a residency research project (2007–2017) founded by viaindustriae, a cultural non-profit organization and a collective that aims at investigating the intermediate territories between art and architecture, new forms of communication, and activating the artistic message through different methods. Initially based on specific research into a marginal and radical rural-mountain landscape in Umbria that used "hypertextual" methods and projects to draw links between different sites and "thematic" landscapes, the outcome is a broad investigation, exhibition, and catalogue on public spaces, site-specific art practices, and interventions on landscape in Italy and beyond.

Summary:
The Advanced School of Collective Feeling explores the advent of radical new conceptions of the body—a phenomenon known in the 1920s and ’30s as “physical culture”—and their impact on the thinking of some of modern architecture’s most influential figures. Using archival photographs, diagrams, and plans, the book reconstructs a constellation of provocative domestic projects by Marcel Breuer, Charlotte Perriand, Richard Neutra, and others. This obscure chapter in the modern movement gestures towards a remarkable synthesis of the individual and the collective, a perspective that holds enormous potential for articulating an architecture of today.

Summary:
Long out of print, the Arundel Society first published Giotto and His Works in Padua between 1853 and 1860. It stands as Ruskin’s most compelling set of reflections on Giotto’s masterpiece—an artwork that, in Ruskin’s estimation, changed the very course of art history. Originally accompanied by a set of black and white woodcuts of the panels in the Chapel, this new edition presents each panel in vivid color photography, adding a useful visual aid to Ruskin’s lyrical descriptions. The result is a book that serves not only as an introduction for students of art history, but also as a discussion of what it means to be a great artist, by one of most influential writers ever to tackle visual art.

Elle n’est pas même durable. Davantage que de définir il s’agit de se réunir, de faire lien. Ce livre cherche à formuler un mot de passe, un schibboleth pour apprendre à nous reconnaître comme une communauté à venir, un «nous» qui s’ignore encore. Ce livre, comme une carte postale destinée à voyager de manière erratique: d'une UniverCité à un centre d'artiste, d'un squat à un théâtre, d'un chapiteau à une zone d'autonomie temporaire et aussi d'un continent à un autre.

Pop Art is the most important 20th-century art movement. It brought Modernism to the masses, making art sexy and fun with coke cans and comics. Today, in our age of selfies and social networking, we are still living in a world defined by Pop. Full of brand new interviews and research, Sooke describes the great works by Warhol, Lichtenstein and other key figures, but also re-examines the movement for the 21st century and asks if it is still art? He reveals a global story, tracing Pop's surprising origins in 19th-century Paris to uncovering the forgotten female artists of the 1960s.

Summary:
"Things don‘t really exist until you give them a name" traces contemporary urban heritage discourses and practices through diverse cities across the globe. From Dar es Salaam to Berlin, via Istanbul, Dresden and Kolkata, different voices connect to heritage debates. Architects, planners and urban researchers, as well as historians, cultural managers and artists provide fresh perspectives, concepts, methods and tools to address the urban heritage conundrum: Although heritage is touted as having the power to effect social cohesion and galvanise urban communities, it is intrinsically contested and divisive. Rather than a belief in absolute (aesthetic and material) values,this book argues for a more citizen-centred and rights-based approach to heritage which could help to make cities more just and inclusive.
