Summary:
The concept of the Spanish-Milanese designer, which has guided her throughout her carreer, was curiosity. The object should create the desire to touch and not just to look at it.

This monograph presents her outstanding work in various fields of design. An index with contact and project information is enclosed.

Summary:
The medieval city of Braunschweig, in Germany s picturesque Hanz Mountains, received a utopian redesign during the new city movement of the 1930s. This abrupt change in the city s organization proved a starting point for photographer Bettina Lockemann's newest project. Lockemann's photographic images reveal streets too broad, disrupting the flow of space for any use other than driving, restricting the natural interaction of foot traffic and public contact. From the Periphery is a challenging body of work that explores architectural norms and stimulates the rethinking of our urban environments.

Summary:
Imagine a collection of perforated leaves in which organisms like insects, fungi, or bacteria existing in the foliage have created an array of patterns. Eva-Fiore Kovacovsky’s ''Feeding on light'' examines photosynthesis through experimental photography. Bringing the outdoors into her analogue colour darkroom, the artist captures the traces of the often symbiotic relationships observed between trees, insects, and the sun. The book takes the form of a field guide, with an extensive index of common and scientific plant names linking the hundreds of photograms, contact prints, and negative prints. Essays contextualise her work through biology, ecology, and philosophy.

Summary:
Sur fond de questionnement écologique avec Homo Labyrinthus, Frédéric Neyrat traverse l’histoire de la philosophie classique et contemporaine pour penser les conceptions occidentales de l’humain et ses origines. S’appuyant sur Darwin et les données de la paléoanthropologie de Picq, ce livre part à la recherche des origines de l’humanité. Elles s’avèrent multiples, labyrinthiques, mettant originairement en contact les humains avec les animaux et les médiations techniques. Pour l’humanisme que l’auteur qualifie d’« intégral », et qui commence bien avant le XVIee siècle, l’être humain est un être d’exception : seul être sans définition, sans « nature », il peut devenir ce qu’il veut.
