He began to map out projects and themes -- some specifically grouped around a subject, others gathered around a more poetic organising(...)

Summary:
From 1970 Luigi Ghirri roamed around the houses, streets, squares and suburbs in his adoptive town of Modena and built a body of early work which contains within it signposts to many of the directions his practice would subsequently take. He began to map out projects and themes -- some specifically grouped around a subject, others gathered around a more poetic organising principle. One of the latter was ''Colazione sull'Erba'' (Breakfast on the Grass) in which he bought together photographs made between 1972 and 1974 on the outskirts of Modena. His focus was the juncture of nature and artifice in the man-made environment; the symmetries of cypress trees, well-kept lawns, the personalising touch of plants in pots, palm trees and cacti with their promise of somewhere else.

Si nous sommes vraiment « maîtres chez nous », pourquoi nos institutions sont-elles contrôlées par une élite de technocrates et de personnes issues du monde des affaires ? Le second tome de ''Dépossession'' conteste l'idée selon laquelle le projet de libération nationale des années 1960-1970 aurait porté ses fruits et démontre que la configuration néolibérale de nos institutions publiques remonte aux origines de celles-ci. En retraçant l'histoire des services de santé et des services sociaux, des écoles, des universités, de la fiscalité et des régimes de retraite, ce livre révèle les fondements de la crise qui met à mal la légitimité de notre système public.

Summary:
The new towns programme of 1946 to 1970 was one of the most substantial periods of urban development in Britain. The new towns have often been described as a social experiment; so what has this experiment proved ? This book covers the story of how these towns came to be built, how they aged, and the challenges and opportunities they now face as they begin phases of renewal. The new approaches in design throughout their past development reflect changes in society throughout the latter half of the twentieth century. These changes are now at the heart of the challenge of sustainable development. The New Towns provide lessons for social, economic and environmental sustainability. These lessons are of great relevance for the regeneration of twentieth century urbanism and the creation of new urban developments today.

D'emblée, artpress fut attentif à leur travail et rencontraà de nombreuses occasions Bernard-Henri Lévy,qui fut un des plus actifs. Celui-ci ne se contenta pas d'écrire trois essais qui ont marqué les années 1970, mais s'engagea, physiquement, pour des causes qu'il jugeait justes (Angola, Bosnie, Libye, Ukraine...). Dans la continuité de ses combats, Bernard-Henri Lévy choisit de s'exprimer par les voies qui croisaient celles de la revue, le roman, le théâtre, l'art.

Summary:
Arthur Erickson was one of the 20th century’s premier architects, but little has been written about the man who designed the interiors of Erickson’s award-winning buildings, whom everyone in the business simply called “Francisco”. A decade before his death, Erickson wrote this manuscript to pay tribute to Kripacz and to tell the world of the importance of Francisco’s creations. With stunning images from photographers such as Yousuf Karsh, this book looks at Erickson’s key projects and the crucial contributions made by Kripacz to their feel and glamour. It includes Erickson’s extended commentary on some of his most famous architectural projects from the 1970’s through the 1990s, including Roy Thomson Hall, the Eppich Houses, Napp Laboratories, and the Canadian Embassy in Washington, DC., all of which featured interiors by Kripacz.

Robert Smithson (1938-73), the internationally renowned pioneer of the earthworks movement who is best known for his earthwork Spiral Jetty (1970), is considered one of the most iconoclastic artists of the 20th century. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Robert Smithson in Texas at the Dallas Museum of Art, this book contains essays and illustrations that examine Smithson's engagement with the Texas landscape. Smithson's involvement with Texas began in July 1966, when he was hired as an artist consultant to the New York-based architecture and engineering firm Tippetts, Abbett, McCarthy, Stratton (TAMS) to develop plans for the Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Airport. Though his plans never came to fruition, Smithson credited the project as a major catalyst in his development toward the concept of large-scale earthworks.

From there he rose to become one of the most influential names in the history of modern architecture, but in contrast to his peers--like the great Aalto, Breuer, Jacobsen and Prouvé--Neutra's work on furniture designs has long been undiscovered. Modern building historian and Neutra specialist Barbara Lamprecht fills this gap with Richard Neutra: Furniture. Referring to the original sketches and patent drawings, Lamprecht focuses on the details of the furniture designs, relating this element of the architect's work to his overarching desire to create balanced environments for his clients, each element-furniture, lighting, nature and landscape, and building-working together to create a "soul anchorage," as Neutra put it.

Invitant sans arrêt l’irréel au sein du banal, Jeff Wall est passé maître dans l’art de l’étrangeté familière. Bazin propose ici un panorama de son œuvre qu’il balaye généreusement, depuis les tous premiers travaux de la fin des années 1970 jusqu’à l’aube des années 2000. Il éclaire ainsi une trentaine de photographies, reproduites en grand format, en les confrontant à l’idéal baudelairien du «peintre de la vie moderne», qui irrigue la pratique et la réflexion de l’artiste canadien depuis ses débuts. Ce livre présente l’avantage de s’offrir comme une conversation fluide, un dialogue intellectuel et sensible entre deux photographes à l’affût du « antastique réel extrait de la vie», que Baudelaire avait entrevu.
