Summary:
The Limestone Barrens Project is an international multidisciplinary investigation of the limestone cliffs and alvars in three areas: Ontario's Bruce Peninsula, Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula and the Burren in County Clare Ireland. Artists working in lens-based media (photography, video, video projection and video installation), writers, a composer and researchers walked and documented the sites so as to explore links between science, visual art, creative writing, sound and music. The project's publication is a stunning tribute to the fragile nature of these sites and their importance to our environment. Three essays, artist statements, poetry and sound recordings are accompanied by magnificent illustrations by some of the world's most distinguished landscape photographers, notably Marlene Creates, Har-Prakash Khalsa and Greg Staats. Accompanied by an audio CD. Produced in collaboration with Sir Wilfred Grenville College of Art Gallery, Newfoundland and Model Arts and Niland Gallery, Ireland.

Telle est la démarche exemplaire de l'art qui, dans la cruauté nécessaire de son geste créateur, efface jusqu'à les détruire des apparences stériles, des figures hostiles et des mondes anciens: pour conquérir, pour signifier, pour transfigurer, bref, pour faire apparaître par delà ce qui est insignifiant, usé ou néfaste, des mondes neufs.

Summary:
Built environment surrounds us for 90% of our lives but only now are we realising its influence on the environment, our health, and how we think, feel and behave both individually and socially. "Spirit & place" shows how to work towards a sustainable environment through socially inclusive processes of placemaking, and how to create places that are nourishing psychologically and physically, to soul and spirit as well as body. This book's arguments identify important, but often unrecognised, principles and illustrate their applicability in a wide range of situations, price-ranges and climates. It shows how to reconcile the apparently incompatible demands of environmental, economic and social sustainability; how to moderate climate to make places of delight, and realign social pressures so places both support society and maximise economic viability. Thought provoking and easy to understand, Christopher Day uses everyday examples to relate his theories to practice and our experience.

Summary:
This book presents 27 of the more than 600 projects and creations completed by one of the leading French contemporary architects. Some of these creations are very well known, not merely among design and interior architecture specialists but by the public at large. From inflatable structures (Kléber Colombes in the 1970s) to the headquarters of major firms (Ford, Renault, L’Oréal, BMCE Bank, among others), Ronald Cecil Sportes has created original works representing an engagement with a sleek and strikingly modern aesthetic. Sportes has designed many furniture items (chairs, lamps, etc.), designs honored by many museums, including Cooper-Hewitt in New York, Centre Pompidou in Paris, and Victoria and Albert Museum in London, who have devoted major retrospectives to the architect (beginning in 1985). Classic Not Plastic includes a documented index that enables the reader to discover the author's profound intentions as well as investigate further into Sportes' work.
