Summary:
Paying tribute to an artistic partnership of more than 30 years, this book explores Peter Fischli and David Weiss's acclaimed and influential body of work, known for its sly humor and profound meditations on the everyday. Throughout the course of their collaboration, Peter Fischli and David Weiss celebrated the sheer triviality of everyday existence, observing the world with bemused detachment. As this book shows, their often humorous work offers a sustained reflection on the intertwined strands of leisure, productivity, and playful absurdity that shape our lives. With its deliberately mundane subject matter and quotidian source material, their work explores the poetics of banality in a wide range of mediums, including photography, videos, slide projections, films, books, sculptures, and multimedia installations.

Summary:
This second volume in the "Future Cities Laboratory Indicia" series focuses on the tools, methods and approaches needed for urban research. In short, following Marshall McLuhan’s famous provocation, the editors focus less on the message and more on the medium of research. This involves retreating from research contents—the topics, themes, questions, hypotheses, insights, ideas, concepts and thoughts—for the moment to consider the materials, methods, tools, techniques and approaches that support them. This change in perspective reveals a rich array of research approaches that include two- and three-dimensional mapping of vegetation, temperature and humidity, in conjunction with point cloud terrestrial and airborne laser-scanning technology; gathering data from sensors and geospatial data and the emergence of “solution spaces” and multi-dimensional complexity science; subject-oriented approaches to behavioral and cognitive decision making in city navigation.

Summary:
'Twin Mirror' is a publication of two new short stories: small parables in comics form. These dream sequences are in deliberate contrast to one another. The first story is set in the titular 'Hermetic Library', in which we stumble upon a seemingly ever-expanding room, the walls of which are completely covered with untitled books. The second story, 'Synopsis', deals with the elemental fear of the white page. The work in 'Twin Mirrors' is a minimalist affair: the comics herein are strictly handmade, using only traditional tools (i.e. nib pens, manga screentone foil, Letraset and Mecanorma lettering).

Summary:
« La graphique est un moyen de communiquer : c’est son emploi le plus connu et le plus répandu. Elle sert aussi à poser et à résoudre les problèmes statistiques, d’organisation… Cet usage dépasse maintenant le cercle des spécialistes grâce à la réduction des contingences techniques et à la simplification sémiologique. Mais la graphique va plus loin encore, en donnant une forme visible à la recherche et à ses méthodes. La graphique moderne est une graphique mobile : on ne dessine plus, mais on manipule les données, de manière à ce que les groupements contenus dans les données deviennent visibles, car l’oeil est un «ordinateur», toujours disponible, capable de percevoir des ensembles. Dans cet ouvrage technique mais accessible, initialement publié en 1977 et réédité par les éditions Zones sensibles à l’occasion des 60 ans de la création par Bertin du Laboratoire de Graphique à l’Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, l’auteur, précurseur de la « visualisation de données », expose avec précision à partir d’exemples empruntés à toutes les disciplines (archéologie, économie, géographie, météorologie, etc.) la façon d’utiliser les multiples ressources de la graphique ».
