Summary:
Depuis la création de son agence en 1956, Claude Parent n'a cessé de bousculer les idées reçues. Véritable empêcheur de penser en rond, il a cherché à redéfinir nos espaces de vie en édifiant des bâtiments perturbateurs, aux sols et aux murs inclinés. Cassant avec la règle orthogonale classique et moderniste, Claude Parent introduit l'oblique comme solution architecturale, promouvant le mouvement et l'instabilité dans le langage architectural. Ses écrits volontiers provocateurs en attestent. Parent ne craint pas la polémique et dénonce vertement le conformisme ambiant et l'échec des politiques urbaines.

Summary:
"The Italian Interiors of Elsa Peretti" charts a voyage through two sumptuous homes of the late artist whose designs completely reshaped jewellery in the 20th century and are still worn by the world’s biggest stars today. Capturing the terracotta glow of these spaces, Estelle Hanania’s ethereal photography introduces us to the wilds of Torre Avoltore, a towering residence in Porto Ercole, and invites us to retire to stately Rome, where Elsa grew up. An introductory essay by longtime collaborator Stefano Palumbo centres Elsa’s creative relationship with architect and designer Lorenzo Mongiardino, and a brief dispatch from photographer Dominique Nabokov closes the book with a memory of her 2001 visit to the tower.

As usual, this issue of the bookazine also includes stories about textiles, glassware, food and drink.

Summary:
Over the years, construction workers seem to have developed a mysterious script made with adhesive tape that is readable by only a few. What do these signs mean? Is this some sort of secret language? Or is there no meaning at all? Are things always as they seem? Visual artist and architect SerraGlia, fascinated by cities and by semiotics, decided to create an artistic and slightly ironic visual statement about these found signs. He is not seeking to reveal their absolute truth. Instead, he wants to question our perception of our surroundings.

''Tropical reading: photobook and self-publishing'' illustrates the photography practitioners and artist collectives from each city in Southeast Asia, examining why they chose to get into self-publishing. It explores how independent art bookstores came to be the social parlours of the self-publishing crowd. Furthermore, observes how the outsider artists, archives and arts initiatives of Southeast Asia came to shape the face of photography and self-publishing in their respective cities. The index is a compilation of our project field research, condensing the profiles of all the interviewees – from people to bookstores to organisations – to make a kind of alternative Yellow Pages for the Southeast Asian art scene.
