Summary:
The eponymous catalogue for an exhibition by Swiss architects Gramazio & Kohler in collaboration with systems engineer Raffaello D'Andrea, shown at the Frac Centre in Orléans. The book presents a fascinating exploration of their perspectives and multidisciplinary interests, ranging from computational design and robots to material innovation, plus research on architecture, system design and autonomous robotic technologies. Through detailed diagrams and texts, it gives insight into the exhibitions realisation in which an architectural installation was constructed by flying robots and reveals radical new ways of both thinking about and materialising architecture.

Summary:
Carried out by designers Moniek Driesse and Annelys de Vet, along with Analía Solomonoff, the Subjective Atlas of Mexico is part of a series of previous subjective atlases where a varied group of artists, designers and photographers who choose personal topics as a starting point to map their cultural identity. Each were asked: what makes a Mexican? what are our likenesses and what differences do we share? Through its pages the scope of Mexico as a country limited by its borders and its latitudes suddenly vanishes and everyday practices take on new meaning. We can find Mexico reflected in the world, and the world reflected in Mexico. A DVD is included.

Fifty young visual authors were invited by new media lab Kitchen and Dutch designer Annelys de Vet to put their homeland in perspective. Together they shed light on the Hungarian spirit, today, from the most characteristic vernacular buildings to waterside houses and recycled fences, from wine spritzer and salty sticks to vegetable gardens and sold-out products.

Others may come across as "natural" but upon close examination they reveal the traces of man's intervention.
