Summary:
Cette publication réunit les images architecturales du photographe Paolo Monti sur l'île de Procida au large de Naples en 1972, présentées pour la première fois. Contrairement aux îles voisines de Capri et d'Ischia, Procida, en 1972, était encore vierge, largement épargnée par le phénomène du tourisme de masse. Ainsi, Monti, un photographe du nord qui se rendait souvent dans le sud pour travailler, y a passé plusieurs années à effectuer des recherches personnelles pour saisir la morphologie de l'île. Si ses photographies documentent les habitants de l'île ainsi que la relation des insulaires à la mer, c'est l'architecture qui l'intéresse le plus. Il étudie Borgo di Corricella, la ville principale de l'île, en parcourant chaque centimètre et documentant son « architecture spontanée » : le réseau presque inextricable de ses maisons, églises et escaliers. Un labyrinthe fascinant qui est la quintessence même de la Méditerranée.

Summary:
Bringing together more than 200 objects produced over the past five centuries, this volume explores ornament in architecture, art, and design through the lens of drawing. In conjunction with the exhibition presented at the Drawing Center, this catalog seeks to address the multilayered complexity of the history of ornament, including the dissonance between the unequal and destructive relationships that mediate its movement between sources, and its irrepressible power to express joy through motifs drawn from both the natural world and the minds of artists and designers.

Summary:
Lina Bo Bardi (1914–1992) is renowned for her boldly modernist designs like the São Paulo Museum of Art and the culture and leisure center SESC Pompéia. An artist, architect, designer, writer, and activist, she was a tireless champion for local craft and materials. Her democratic designs were inclusive and stood as an open invitation to those typically excluded from elitist institutions, embodying an aesthetic that stood out among the modernist movement in Brazil and abroad. This collection of essays presents new perspectives on Bo Bardi from leading contemporary artists, architects, curators, and scholars. Contributors engage with the conceptual, social, and political philosophies latent in the architectural materials she chose—from her application of concrete to her implementation of nature and her reuse of vernacular materials.

Summary:
Miguel Milá is considered one of Spain’s first and most influential industrial designers. Starting out as an interior designer amid the country’s early modernist movement, Milá began making the objects he needed but couldn’t yet find on the market. He took raw and renewable materials and crafted prototypes by hand, occasionally evolving designs to perfect his now-iconic lighting and furniture. This book is a detailed look back through Milá’s most emblematic works, produced between 1956 and 2021, with archival photos and drawings, as well as original photos shot at Milá’s Barcelona home by Nacho Alegre.

Summary:
In a world where people are people, animals are people, hamburgers and hot dogs are people, an irresistible spirit-slumber has seeped through the collective consciousness, nearly snuffing out the soul of the living, breathing world. Nearly inaudibly, heart song echoes through this fog of confusion; time has folded in on itself, allowing not only God but Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto, and Hera to enter the waking realism, where they vie for power and sway over the fate of the planet. This is the story that New York-based artist Zebadiah Keneally has set himself the task of reciting in his first ever (but none the less epic) graphic novel.

Summary:
‘Project Stories’ invites an eclectic constellation of architectural practices from across the globe to tell the story of one of their significant built works. Each volume brings together three such stories accompanied by conversations with the individual architects. These behind-the-scenes examinations chronicle how an idea is conceived, revealing the diverse approaches and confluences of various fields that go into making a work of architecture. The series takes the form of a visual reader as a way to better conceptualise the works and practices, all equally diverse and equally legitimate. This second volume features BARarchitekten, Francesca Torzo Architetto, and Wolff Architects.
