Summary:
In today's society architects are subject to the dictates of the free market, the global trend towards privatization and the gradual dismantlement of state institutions and authorities. The pressure to alter their projects to conform to market and popular taste is increasing. Does successful design in today’s world have to correspond to the wishes of the masses? What exactly are trends and the expectations of the general public based on? Is design always a response contra popular trends, or can adapting to popular tendencies also generate the potential to create a better living environment? This book, which arose from the last DOM conference in Linz, examines the concept of populism in some 30 expert contributions, gathered into 5 chapters, each beginning with an introductory essay.

Summary:
Located at the center of the German furniture manufacturing industry, Marta, the latest European Museum by Frank O. Gehry, opened in December 2004 to universal acclaim. Conceived as a laboratory for redefining the relationship between art, design, and industry, this Gehry masterwork houses art galleries, a library, educational facilities, and conference and cultural meeting rooms. While the gallery is, for Gehry, an uncharacteristic neutral white cube, it is wrapped in a series of bulging curvatures creating a dome that announces his distinctive architectural signature. This book, which contains previously unpublished material on the design and construction of the museum, offers insight into the working process of arguably the world's most famous architect, and his ideas about the shifting boundaries between industry, design, art, and architecture.

Summary:
''On Active Grounds'' considers the themes of agency and time through the burgeoning, interdisciplinary field of the environmental humanities. Fourteen essays and a photo album cover topics such as environmental practices and history, temporal literacy, graphic novels, ecocinema, ecomusicology, animal studies, Indigeneity, wolf reintroduction, environmental history, green conservatism, and social-ecological systems change. The book also speaks to the growing concern regarding environmental issues in the aftermath of the 2015 Paris Climate Conference (COP21) and the election of Donald Trump in the United States. This collection is organized as a written and visual appeal to issues such as time (how much is left?) and agency (who is active? what can be done? what does and does not work?). It describes problems and suggests solutions.

Summary:
The Human Snapshot draws upon a conference of the same name organized by the LUMA Foundation and Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College. The look toward art and photography stems from theorist Ariella Azoulay’s research on the seminal exhibition “The Family of Man,” first installed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1955, which she frames as a lens through which to view universalism at play. These values have been under conceptual assault in recent years, yet they continue to proliferate—even through the visual arts, where humanism and universalism are customarily dismissed. The Human Snapshot takes these themes and wrestles with their application in the use of photography, the exhibition format, contemporary democracy, human rights discourse, and the power of the image at large.

Summary:
In recent years, the intersection between ecological thought and contemporary art has sparked a generative reflection encompassing sustainability, conservation, and survivability. Confronted with the climate catastrophe, ecology questions the feasibility of conserving collapsing ecosystems as well as our imperative of survival, alongside other humans, and non-humans, amidst the ruins of a world we have already irreversibly altered. In November 2023, the second edition of the Museo Ventuno conference, Museums at the Ecological Turn, curated for AMACI by Caterina Riva together with NERO, brought together voices and perspectives from inside and outside of the art institutions to intercept and amplify the debate around these issues. Reflecting on the role of museums and how they must embrace new forms of responsibility and awareness, this book gathers contributions from curators, philosophers and activists, artists and writers.

Summary:
There's no getting around it anymore. We are in an age of globalization, and cities around the world are being challenged in brand new ways with no historical precedents to guide them. The highly anticipated international building exhibition IBA Hamburg 2013 is preparing to tackle the many challenges that apply to metropolises around the world in our era, asking difficult questions and soliciting innovative responses. Socially and geographically, how can we bring peripheral districts back into the city? How can we tap the full potential of international urban society? How can we cope with the requirements of climate change? This first installment of a ten-volume series leading up to the 2013 conference features retrospective documentation of former German building exhibitions, an outlook to the IBA Hamburg and complex considerations of the metropolis phenomenon.

Summary:
Collected here for the first time are Liam Gillick’s major fictional texts: ‘McNamara Papers’, Ibuka’, ‘Discussion Island/Big Conference Centre’, ‘The Winter School’, with Erasmus is Late and Literally No Place. Within each history and the utopias and alternative visions of society envisioned by writers, filmmakers, philosophers, and scientists are presented and speculated on, often through the fictionalised voices of secondary historical characters. Traversing genres of fiction and critical discourse, ideas are explored in a nonlinear, open-ended discursive format, in which the textual structure mirrors the structuring of the presented ideas. In each text Gillick’s concern is to explore complex, paradoxical historical moments and the ideologies that shaped, reflecting on how the redundant utopian elements of the past continue to structure contemporary society and remain impulses within speculations of our post-utopian future.
