Summary:
A marriage of photography and criticism, this volume celebrates details of Baltimore's architectural heritage and explores both familiar and unnoticed places. Photographer James DuSel and art critic John Dorsey have created a book that leads from images to thoughts, and they invite readers to follow the same path. DuSel's black-and-white photographs focus on details of larger images: the bottom of a doorway, the corner of a portico, the wall of a shoe repair shop, the substructure of a bridge. Dorsey ruminates on these images, and he draws connections between Baltimore's visual vocabulary and the tapestry of civilization. He carries us from a window in Roland Park to the triumphal arch of Constantine in Rome, from a stairway at the Maryland Institute to the Doge's Palace in Venice, from a vine at the Baltimore museum of art to Shakespeare. DuSel and Dorsey, through a studious appreciation of detail, encourage us to look at our built environment afresh and discover a new and more meaningful relationship with our surroundings. Shaking off what DuSel calls "the anesthesia of daily life," "Look again in Baltimore" offers arresting insights into the richness of the everyday world.

Summary:
Should the Director’s House Gropius in Dessau, a masterpiece of modernism, be rebuilt? Is there any reason from a cultural-historical viewpoint for such a conservative approach? Should an attempt be made to continue the traditions of Bauhaus, or should we be discussing whether contemporary tasks and aims are commensurate to those of the past? What role do modern principles play in today’s architecture? What is our attitude towards reconstruction? What can be expected from alternative approaches such as manipulation, collage, neutralization, redefinition, reinterpretation or entirely new design? The book „UmBauhaus – Aktualisierung der Moderne“ examines these and other questions, seeking to introduce and continue the debate concerning the Director’s House that was destroyed during the Second World War. At the peak of the debate on the reconstruction of the Gropius Director's House, the Bauhaus pulled out and decided to take a trip to record interviews. This became a lengthy, inspirational journey through current affairs, and a search for the future of modernism. With contribution from Rem Koolhaas, Dan Wieden, Oscar Niemeyer, Jonathan Park, Hans Kollhoff, Walter de'Silva, colleagues of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation and many others.

Summary:
"The Education of the Eye" examines the origins of visual culture in eighteenth-century Britain. It claims that at the moment when works of visual art were first displayed and contemplated as aesthetic objects, two competing descriptions of the viewer or spectator promoted two very different accounts of culture. The first was constructed on knowledge, on what one already knew, while the second was grounded in the eye itself. Whereas the first was most likely to lead to a socially and politically elite form of visual cutlure, the second, it was held, would almost certainly end up in the chaos of the mob. But there was another route through these conflicting accounts of the visual that preserved the education of the eye while at the same time allowing the eye freedom to enter into the realm of culture. This third route, that of sentimental look, is explored in a series of contexts: the gallery, the pleasure garden, the landscape park, and the country house. This book sets out to reclaim visual culture for the democracy of the eye and to explain how aesthetic contemplation may, once more, be open to all who have eyes to look.

Summary:
In this lavishly illustrated volume, Robin Karson traces the development of a distinctly American style of landscape design through an analysis of seven country places created by some of the nation's most talented landscape practitioners. In the mid-nineteenth century Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of New York's Central Park, developed an approach to landscape design based on the principles of the English Picturesque which also emphasized a specifically American experience of nature and scenery. After Olmsted's retirement in 1897, these precepts continued to ground a new generation of American landscape architects through the next four decades, a period known as the “country place era,” a time of rapid economic, social, and cultural change. The chapters in this book trace a progression in the period from the naturalistic wild gardens of Warren Manning to the mysterious “Prairie style” landscapes of Jens Jensen to the proto-modernist gardens of Fletcher Steele. Other practitioners cov ered are Charles Platt, Ellen Biddle Shipman, Beatrix Farrand, Marian Coffin, and Lockwood de Forest Jr. The projects profiled follow a broad geographic arc, from Stockbridge, Massachusetts, to Santa Barbara, California. All seven landscapes are now open to visitors.

Summary:
Earthquakes. Wildfires. Floods. Drought. Tornadoes. Snakes in the sea, mountain lions, and a plague of bees. In this controversial tour de force of scholarship, unsparing vision, and inspired writing, Mike Davis, the author of ''City of quartz'', revisits Los Angeles as a Book of the Apocalypse theme park. By brilliantly juxtaposing L.A.’s fragile natural ecology with its disastrous environmental and social history, he compellingly shows a city deliberately put in harm’s way by land developers, builders, and politicians, even as the incalculable toll of inevitable future catastrophe continues to accumulate. Counterpointing L.A.’s central role in America’s fantasy life–the city has been destroyed no less than 138 times in novels and films since 1909–with its wanton denial of its own real history, Davis creates a revelatory kaleidoscope of American fact, imagery, and sensibility. Drawing upon a vast array of sources, ''Ecology of fear'' meticulously captures the nation’s violent malaise and desperate social unease at the millennial end of ''the American century.'' With savagely entertaining wit and compassionate rage, this book conducts a devastating reconnaissance of our all-too-likely urban future.
