Summary:
À l'âge d'internet et du GPS, l'espace change radicalement dans l'usage que nous en faisons et dans son rôle d'organisateur de notre rapport au monde. Métapolis opère un basculement de la ville matérielle dans le monde virtuel. La société «hypertexte» qui la caractérise se fait et se défait sans cesse et pratique l'ubiquité, comme le montre le flux permanent de photographies qui circule sur les smartphones. Les grandes régions urbaines vivent dans une logique de l'offre et de la régulation sous forte contrainte d'incertitude. Ce livre interroge : les méthodes et les savoirs actuels de la production urbaine, publique ou privée, sont-ils en mesure d'y répondre ?

Summary:
The artist's house is a prism through which to view not only the artistic practice of its inhabitant but also to apprehend broader developments in sculpture and contemporary art in relation to domestic architecture and interior space. Based on a series of interviews and site visits with living artists about the role of their home in relation to their work, Cambridge-trained art historian Kirsty Bell looks at the house as receptacle, vehicle, model, theater or dream space. In-depth analyses of these contemporary examples including Jorge Pardo, Miros aw Ba ka, Danh Vo, Gregor Schneider, Frances Stark, Marc Camille Chaimowicz, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Mark Leckey, Monika Sosnowska, Gabriel Orozco and Andrea Zittel are contextualized by key artists of the 20th century such as Kurt Schwitters, Alice Neel, Edward Krasin ski, Carlo Mollino and Louise Bourgeois.

Summary:
Cairo. Open City examines the roles that images are playing in the ongoing Egyptian revolution, from the outbreak of the Arab Spring through the present. The catalog includes a variety of approaches to the time-based media of photography and video, from the works of photo journalists, to recordings by activists and citizen journalists , to documents collected by different artists. The different chapters will generate a dialogue between the images: Cover images from newspapers will stand alongside photo galleries from blogs, iconic pictures alongside unknown images of people on the streets, images of martyrs alongside long-term documentary projects. The catalog comes out on the occasion of the exhibition in the Museum for Photography Braunschweig and collects essays from young Cairo-based authors. (Arabic, German and English edition)

Summary:
From the beginning, the landscape has determined where and how people live. Over time, people embellished the natural landscape with an infrastructure of roads, aqueducts, bridges, ports, power plants, and more. Now communities are turning their attention to the central planning challenge of our time: sustainability. And they are discovering, or rediscovering, the benefits of green infrastructure—infrastructure that takes advantage of the natural landscape. The authors present six principles for successful green infrastructure projects.
