Summary:
"No Longer Innocent: Book Art in America : 1960–1980" is the first history to trace the emergence of the artist's book in the U.S. during the 1960s and 1970s. This history takes a inclusive view of the varied field of book art and redresses the sporadic or confused acknowledgment from the art world that has long marginalized the artist's book. The book identifies European precursors of these kinds of artists' books, then quickly moves to America with the development of artists and books and non-profit organization. "No Longer Innocent" also addresses the ways book art affected and responded to art movements, such as Pop, Fluxus, or Conceptualism.

Summary:
Climate-friendly construction is essential if we are to ensure that future generations can enjoy comfortable living spaces. Design and the choice of materials help to considerably reduce the climate impact of buildings. The techniques featured in this book come from all five climatic zones and many are drawn from non-European and bygone societies. The low-tech approaches, illustrated in schematic drawings and explained in texts, are a source of inspiration for the design of sustainable and energy-autonomous building structures. "Architecture follows climate" provides the first in-depth and comprehensive overview of passive building techniques that have been tried and tested for centuries.

Summary:
In the 1920s, the Gulf of Naples was a magnet for European intellectuals in search of places as yet untouched by modernity. Among the revolutionaries, artists, and thinkers drawn to Naples were numerous scholars at a formative stage in their journeys: Walter Benjamin, Siegfried Kracauer, Alfred Sohn-Rethel, Asja Lacis, Theodor W. Adorno, and many others. While all were indelibly shaped by the volcanic Neapolitan landscape, it was Benjamin who first probed the relationship between the porous landscape and the local culture. But Adorno went further, transforming his surroundings into a radical new philosophy—one that became a turning point in the modern history of the discipline.

In line with ''The Mannerist Mind'', the essay by Francisco González de Canales, AV Proyectos 123 publishes the innovative proposals of six European studios that emerged in the post-crisis context, and which apply traditional solutions with a contemporary approach. Anna Puigjaner sits down for an interview with this magazine about these ‘'new mannerisms.’, and to discuss how MAIO, the office she directs with María Charneco, Alfredo Lérida and Guillermo López, shies away from classifications to defend a political practice, more sustainable and inclusive. The issue continues with the conversion of an old warehouse in Rotterdam into the new FENIX Museum, carried out by MAD Architects.

Summary:
After an issue dedicated to the persistent structures of colonial domination and racialization in western and northern European societies, The Funambulist 55 (Sep-Oct 2024) Asian Imperialisms intends to decenter Europe, and examine historical and present processes of imperial and/or colonial domination by seven arguably ethnocratic Asian states, namely, Japan, the People’s Republic of China, the Russian Federation (and the Soviet Union), India, Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey (alongside Azerbaijan). This “Asian” denomination chosen for this issue’s title follows historic examples of solidarity at this massive continental scale, the most famous one being the 1955 Afro–Asian Conference in Bandung. The cover is an artwork by Korean artist Kyungmi Shin

John Banville traces Prague’s often tragic history and portrays the people who made it, the emperors and princes, geniuses and charlatans, heroes and scoundrels, and paints a portrait of the Prague of today, revelling in its newfound freedoms, eager to join the European Community and at the same time suspicious of what many Praguers see as yet another totalitarian takeover. He writes of his first visit to the city, in the depths of the cold War, when he engaged in a spot of art smuggling, and of subsequent trips there, of the people he met, the friends he made, the places he came to know.

Summary:
Now as before, Japanese architecture is very popular in Europe and the western world. This publication provides an overview of its many design concepts and cross-references. Using design examples and interviews, the book presents thirteen current positions.The publication focuses on young architects who take up extremely independent positions within Japanese architecture, as well as on Pritzker Prize winners Toyo Ito and Fumihiko Maki. Six essays by European specialists on Japan provide supplementary insights into the aesthetics and space concepts of Japanese architecture, making cross-references to Japan’s architectural history, and explaining current lines of development. The book thus combines a self-reflective approach with an outsider’s analytical view.
