Summary:
A leading figure in the New Perennial planting movement, garden designer Piet Oudolf emphasizes plant structure as the most important aspect of a successful garden. Form and texture are valued as much as color, and perennials - prized for their beauty throughout a natural life cycle - are used almost exclusively. Oudolf challenges conventional approaches to gardening that(...)

Summary:
A leading figure in the New Perennial planting movement, garden designer Piet Oudolf emphasizes plant structure as the most important aspect of a successful garden. Form and texture are valued as much as color, and perennials - prized for their beauty throughout a natural life cycle - are used almost exclusively. Oudolf challenges conventional approaches to gardening that rely on short-lived bursts of color and constant maintenance and shows the delights of working with versatile, expressive perennials to create lasting, ecologically sound panoramas that relate to the greater landscape and the shifting seasons. This full-color volume features twenty-three of Oudolf's most beautiful public and private gardens, including the widely acclaimed High Line and the Battery in New York City; the Lurie Garden in Millennium Park in Chicago; Wisley, the Royal Horticultural Society Garden in Surrey, England; the Pensthorpe Nature Reserve and Gardens in Norfolk, England; the Trentham Estate in Staffordshire, England; Il Gardino delle Vergini at the 2010 Venice Biennale; the Dream Park in Enkoping, Sweden; and his own perpetually evolving garden in Hummelo, The Netherlands. Text by gardening author Noël Kingsbury places Oudolf's work in context and explains how each garden and the plants selected for it fit the specific environment.

Summary:
2010 marked the 50th anniversary of Brazil's capital Brasilia. Architects Lucio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer designed what has become one of the most studied urban planning project. Niemeyer's Cathedral, his building for the National Congress and the city's 707-ft television tower are icons of modern architecture. The entire city, marked by its cross-shaped layout and vast open spaces, was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987. The author of this publication visited Brasilia's vast building sites for the first time in 1958. He returned many times over the years, documenting with his camera growth and further development of this built Utopia. Besides documenting the buildings in various stages of completion, Burri took portraits of Niemeyer and his workers and photographed Brasilia's street scenes and people and aerial views of the city's first slums. His images capture the strong sense of a new era and a vibrant atmosphere of hard work and strain; they reflect the huge dimensions of the landscape and the great scale of this project and its ambition to design and build a new capital. This book presents a large selection from hundreds of colour and black-and-white photographs, the majority of them published in this book for the first time.

Jean Prouvé's Ferembal House was built in Nancy, France, in 1948, as the office for a can factory. Composed of five axial frames clad with wooden panels, set on a tall masonry base and occupying less than 600 square feet in a single raised story, this prefabricated structure was a classic example of Prouvé's advocacy of mobile architecture.

Summary:
Jean Prouvé's Ferembal House was built in Nancy, France, in 1948, as the office for a can factory. Composed of five axial frames clad with wooden panels, set on a tall masonry base and occupying less than 600 square feet in a single raised story, this prefabricated structure was a classic example of Prouvé's advocacy of mobile architecture. Thirty years later, however, the company went out of business and the factory was demolished. Fortunately a Nancy resident had the wherewithal to dismantle and preserve Prouvé's innovative building, putting it into storage. In 1991, the well-known Parisian design gallerist Patrick Seguin traveled to Nancy to locate the Ferembal House. Seguin spent the next ten years raising the funds to renovate it, working in tandem with Prouvé experts, and in 2007 invited his longstanding friend, the architect Jean Nouvel, to undertake a creative adaptation of the House. Drawing on contemporary technical resources, Nouvel brilliantly extended and systematized its fundamental modularity with stackable Ductal blocks and a floor of removable slabs. The results were exhibited in the Tuileries Gardens in Paris, in 2010. This comprehensive account of Prouvé's posthumous collaboration with Nouvel recounts the tale of the Ferembal House with archival photographs and plans of the original structure and a detailed account of Nouvel's inspired interventions.

Le 12 août 2010, Lek et Sowat ont trouvé un supermarché abandonné dans le nord de Paris. Situé entre un atelier de maintenance RATP, le périphérique et des tours de béton, le bâtiment déserté n'attirait pas l'attention. Et pourtant... Une fois à l'intérieur, ils ont découvert 40 000 m2 de murs vierges répartis sur quatre étages dont deux plongés dans l'obscurité. Des(...)

Le 12 août 2010, Lek et Sowat ont trouvé un supermarché abandonné dans le nord de Paris. Situé entre un atelier de maintenance RATP, le périphérique et des tours de béton, le bâtiment déserté n'attirait pas l'attention. Et pourtant... Une fois à l'intérieur, ils ont découvert 40 000 m2 de murs vierges répartis sur quatre étages dont deux plongés dans l'obscurité. Des salles immenses et sans fin où des centaines de personnes avaient vécu avant d'être chassées par la force publique du jour au lendemain... Pendant un an, dans le plus grand secret, les deux artistes se sont rendus dans ce lieu mystique quasi quotidiennement pour y peindre et organiser une résidence artistique sauvage unique en son genre. Ils ont demandé à une quarantaine de graffeurs français et de photographes, issus de la première à la dernière génération du mouvement, de les y accompagner, pour un jour ou une semaine. Chacun a promis ne pas rien révéler du bâtiment ou du projet... Ensemble, ils ont créé un mausolée, un temple dédié à leur culture underground en passe de disparaître à l'ère du street art et de son esthétique pop mondialisée. De cette expérience, ils ont tiré un film en stop motion de plus de 8 000 images qu'ils comptent diffuser gratuitement sur internet. Ce livre se propose de retracer les grandes étapes visuelles de cette expérience hors du commun.

Que reste-t-il des couleurs de notre enfance ? Quels souvenirs gardons-nous d'un lapin bleu, d'une robe rouge, d'un vélo jaune ? Ont-ils vraiment revêtu ces couleurs ? Plus tard, lesquelles associons-nous a nos années d'études, à nos premières amours, à notre vie d'adulte ? Comment la couleur s'inscrit-elle dans le champ de la mémoire ? Comment est-elle capable de la stimuler ? de la transformer ? Ou bien, au contraire, comment est-elle victime de ses caprices ou de ses intermittences ? Pour tenter de répondre à ces questions - et à beaucoup d'autres -, Michel Pastoureau nous propose un journal chromatique s'étendant sur plus d'un demi-siècle (1950-2010). Souvenirs personnels, notations prises sur le vil, propos débridés, digressions savantes ou remarques propres à l'historien : ce livre retrace l'histoire récente des couleurs en France et en Europe. De nombreux champs d'observation sont parcourus ou évoqués : le vocabulaire et les faits de langue. la mode et le vêtement, les objets et les pratiques de la vie quotidienne. les emblèmes et les drapeaux, le sport, la littérature. la peinture, les musées et l'histoire de l'art. Ce journal, tour à tour ludique, poétique et nostalgique, est à la fois celui de l'auteur et celui de nos contemporains. Nous vivons dans un monde de plus en plus coloré où la couleur reste un lieu de mémoire, une source de plaisirs et, plus encore, une invitation au rêve.
