Summary:
The work shown at the U.S. Pavilion at the 2010 Venice Biennale is vital and proactive, suggesting solutions, describing the possibilities of new techniques or technologies, or re-framing the problems of the city, and, in the process, defining a new model of architectural practice. From John Portman's architect-as-initiator model to cityLAB's research-based, innovative community-driven proposals, these works seek to define their own problems, audiences, and missions. The can-do spirit of each of these projects echo the collaborative, team-based methodologies of 306090 Books, co-presenters of the U.S. Pavilion with Atlanta's High Museum of Art. The impressive scale, reach, and beauty of the participants' projects makes their ground-up formation all the more inspiring.

The effect of architectural and artistic forms is based on the phenomena of the basic elements: point, line and plane. Architectural space is defined by its boundaries, where each element is evaluated by its inherent energies.

Summary:
The effect of architectural and artistic forms is based on the phenomena of the basic elements: point, line and plane. Architectural space is defined by its boundaries, where each element is evaluated by its inherent energies. As architecture is also the organization of space, these elements are described in terms of their influence on each other and on their surroundings. In an attempt to understand these elements in terms of architecture, this book examines them based on the research of Bauhaus member Wassily Kandinsky. Through the inherent qualities of these elements we can understand the effect of energies, tensions, and dynamics in all existing objects, buildings and landscapes as the organization of movement and stillness. This book contains diagrams and examples especially selected to describe these elements and their architectural manifestations and to show the manifold ways in which they communicate with us.

Les tall-tale postcards, car tel est leur nom, sont aussi de précieux documents de la "folk culture" du Middle West américain; un monde strictement rural où l'exagération inspire bien des légendes.

Summary:
Nous vivons tous quelque part. Certains peuples sont nomades, mais la plupart des hommes s'approprient un lieu pour y habiter ce lieu à soi qui constitue un peu de nous-mêmes, permet d'être ce que l'on est et comme on est. Mais l'être humain ne se définit pas seulement par ses origines, sa nationalité ou les espaces où il vit... Par exemple, devenir adulte, c'est rencontrer d'autres lieux, parfois très éloignés, des milieux différents et à la fois complémentaires, s'ouvrir aux savoirs et aux pratiques qui existent ailleurs ou à d'autres époques. C'est en plantant d'autres racines, en multipliant ses points d'attache, en se confrontant à d'autres points de vue possibles, que l'homme se définit comme un être de culture et un citoyen du monde.

Summary:
This publication presents a critical history of architectural theory over the last forty years. Mallgrave employs the words theory and architecture in a broad sense - the latter encompassing aspects of urban planning, structural, and landscape design, while theory too is often indistinguishable from practice. The text surveys the intellectual history of architecture since 1968, including criticisms of high modernism, the rise of postmodern and poststructural theory, critical regionalism and tectonics, and the significant changes that architectural thinking has undergone in the past fifteen years, concluding with an analysis of where architecture stands and where it will likely move in the coming years.

Summary:
In this publication, designer James Victore gives a survey of his work and his no-holds-barred take on the practice, business, and teaching of graphic design today. Known for making vivid, memorable, and often controversial work, Victore has sought comrades, smart collaborators who have encouraged him to reinterpret old design solutions and to pressure viewers to think about issues in a new way. Victore tells the stories behind his inspirations, his process, and the lessons learned. The result is a funny and honest book which showcases a body of work that has been plastered on the streets of New York, hung at MoMA, and featured in magazines.
