Summary:
Originating as a rebellious movement in philosophy and literature, Postmodernism proclaimed the death of modernism and promoted a new, nonlinear way of approaching architecture and design, spearheaded by Michael Graves, Robert Venturi, Ettore Sottsass, and Alessandro Mendini. It became a style in itself and the defining look of the 1980s. Postmodern Design Complete is the comprehensive reference to this period of vibrant design, as it profiles key creators including Graves, Mendini, Sottsass, Venturi, Charles Jencks, and Denise Scott Brown and covers the fields of architecture, furniture, graphic design, textiles, and product and industrial design.

À plus de soixante-dix ans, Edward Fella (né en 1938 dans le Michigan) est toujours « en activité » (« I’m still running », comme il aime à le dire). Il demeure l’un des auteurs de design graphique les plus emblématiques du postmoderne américain. L’hybridation de matières, de formes, de couleurs, de sujets, et l’aisance avec laquelle il navigue d’un medium à l’autre, donnent à son art une originalité et une profondeur qui marqueront durablement l’histoire du design graphique.

Summary:
Although postmodern architecture reaches giddy heights in the cinema multiplexes and shopping malls on the outskirts of town, its services have been in greatest demand in the centre of London. The fun, brash style dominated architecture from its radical inception at the end of the 1970's to its soggy death by cul-de-sac developments in the 90's. Why did the postmodern expire? A change of fashion, maybe? It can certainly be too much at times, all those Plaudoh pediments, Lego walls and cheap multicoloured facings. A victim of its own popularity? We live and work in countless postmodern low-rise houses and offices all over the city; so ubiquitous is it that not a street has been spared.

Summary:
30 buildings from the 1970s and 80s, 30 built manifestos, densely gathered in two halves of a divided city: transformer station, hotel and airport terminal, diving tower, school, and animal laboratory. Not only do their functions and purposes differ fundamentally, but their forms and architectural means of expression are even more diverse. What distinguishes the architecture of these years is the search for a visualization of content beyond function: of fictions, themes and narratives, of history, typological continuities, and contradictions. While postmodern is the underlying formula, it does not result in a uniform “style”. The building forms are emblematic or rational, familiar or absolutely new. Claudia Kromrei presents these 30 buildings and describes them in their concrete form, their genesis, and against the background of the theoretical imaginary worlds of their designers.

Summary:
Lors de la réoccupation des villes de Palestine au printemps 2002, l'armée israélienne a utilisé une tactique inédite: au lieu de progresser dans les rues tortueuses des vieux quartiers ou des camps de réfugiés, les soldats passaient de maison en maison, à travers murs et planchers, évitant ainsi de servir de cibles aux résistants palestiniens. Cette méthode,(...)

Summary:
Lors de la réoccupation des villes de Palestine au printemps 2002, l'armée israélienne a utilisé une tactique inédite: au lieu de progresser dans les rues tortueuses des vieux quartiers ou des camps de réfugiés, les soldats passaient de maison en maison, à travers murs et planchers, évitant ainsi de servir de cibles aux résistants palestiniens. Cette méthode, "conceptualisée" sous le nom de "géométrie inversée" par des généraux qui aiment à citer Debord, Deleuze et Guattari ou Derrida, représente un tournant postmoderne dans la guerre des villes.
