Summary:
Munich, notorious in recent history as the capital of the Nazi movement, is the site of Gavriel Rosenfeld's inquiry into the German collective memory of the Third Reich. Rosenfeld shows, with how the city's urban form developed after 1945 in direct reflection of its inhabitants' evolving memory of the Second World War and the Nazi dictatorship. In the second half of the twentieth century, the German people's struggle to come to terms with the legacy of Nazism has dramatically shaped nearly all dimensions of their political, social, and cultural life. The area of urban development and the built environment, little explored until now, offers visible evidence of the struggle. By examining the ways in which the people of Munich reconstructed the ruins of their historic buildings, created new works of architecture, dealt with surviving Nazi buildings, and erected new monuments to commemorate the horrors of the recent past, Rosenfeld identifies a spectrum of competing memories of the Nazi experience. Examining the debates between traditionalists, modernists, postmodernists, and critical preservationists, Rosenfeld shows that the memory of Nazism in Munich has never been "repressed" but has rather been defined by constant dissension and evolution. On balance, however, he concludes that Munich came to embody in its urban form a conservative view of the past that was inclined to diminish local responsibility for the Third Reich.

Summary:
Walk down any street in Mexico, and you'll be greeted by images of soccer stars, mariachi singers, space ships, taxis, tortas, tequila, or any one of the colorful posters that shopkeepers, advertisers, designers, and artists have put up throughout their cities and towns. Sensacional: Mexican Street Graphics is a collection of these images that often define public space south of the border. The images collected here depict a vibrant and experimental visual culture. Advertising everything from sex clubs, wrestling arenas, and restaurants to dentist's offices, auto-body shops, locksmiths, and shoe-repair stores, these images provide an inspiring monument to the craft of vernacular design, and are as much a part of the streetscape as the buildings they cover. Following a foreword by renowned musician and artist David Byrne, and an introduction by design historian Steven Heller, Sensacional presents more than 300 full-color illustrations of Mexico's most animated street graphics.

C'était aussi la musique, la danse, l'odeur de la barbe à papa et, bien sûr, le rire tonitruant de la Grosse femme. Voici l'histoire inédite de cet endroit magique, de ce «monument» qui a occupé une place considérable dans le paysage culturel québécois et dont le souvenir singulier évoque encore une douce et étrange folie. Au fil de son enquête, le journaliste Steve Proulx revisite les 61 saisons du parc Belmont. En donnant la parole à ceux qui l'ont fréquenté de près, l'auteur révèle des anecdotes oubliées dans les coulisses de l'histoire. Avec ses personnages marquants et ses heures joyeuses comme ses tristes événements, nous voyons se recréer, devant nos yeux, la féerie et l'enchantement du plus grand des petits parcs d'attractions de Montréal.

Summary:
Juchée sur un tertre volcanique d’où elle domine de toute sa masse le Puy-en-Velay, la cathédrale Notre-Dame est un monument complexe, impressionnant, insolite. Du bas de la vielle ville, une rue en forte pente conduit au monumental escalier qui, particularité unique, traverse le haut porche d’entrée pour pénétrer très avant dans l’édifice et déboucher au beau milieu de la nef. Pendant des siècles, les foules s’y sont pressées, foules de pèlerins attirés là par la fameuse Vierge noire du Puy. Elle a disparu en 1794, mais pas les pèlerins, aujourd’hui rejoints par de nombreux touristes. En 2005, la cathédrale Notre-Dame fête son Jubilé. L’ouvrage replace cet ensemble monumental dans sa longue histoire et en propose une visite complète —y compris des parties actuellement non accessibles—, en s’attachant tant à son architecture et à son décor (notamment d’importantes fresques) qu’à son mobilier (trésor, objets liturgiques contemporains).

Summary:
Shaped by a keen sense of humanity and a wide knowledge of history and literature, Canadian artist Ken Lum (born 1956) is a visionary who has consistently challenged societal norms, the ruling classes, religious suppression and racism, among other horrors that we continue to inflict on each other. His influential work, with its focus on cross-cultural dialogue and the complexities of the modern world, resonates globally—be it through painting, sculpture, photography or public art projects that engage with individual and collective identity in the context of historical trauma and the complications of memory. This publication presents a sweep of Lum’s photographic series, at once descriptive and disruptive, personal and political, including ''Portrait/Logos'' (1984–86), ''Portrait/Repeated Text Works'' (1993 to present) and ''Image Mirrors'' (2021); as well as his work with ''Monument Lab'', a public art project he cofounded with urban geographer Paul Farber.

Summary:
The diverse works of architect Nicholas Hawksmoor (?1661–1736) ranged from small architectural details to ambitious urban plans, from new parish churches to work on the monument of his age, St. Paul’s Cathedral. As a young man Hawksmoor assisted Christopher Wren and John Vanbrugh, emerging from these formidable apprenticeships to design some of the most vigorous and dramatic buildings in England. In this engaging book, architectural historian Vaughan Hart presents a fresh view of Hawksmoor’s built and planned work. In addition, Hart offers the first coherent explanation of Hawksmoor’s theory of architecture. The book explains why Hawksmoor’s buildings look the way they do, what contemporary events influenced his work, and how such ancient buildings as Solomon’s temple and Mausolus’s tomb inspired him. Underscoring the unique qualities of the architect’s accomplishments and aspirations, Hart establishes with new clarity Hawksmoor’s vital role in the development of English architecture.
