Black and white images capturing life in mid-century Hong Kong range from quiet voyeuristic tableaus to chaotic crowds, most focusing on the citys inhabitants.

Summary:
"Blank State" is more than a coloring book: it is an exercise in collaboration, inviting the participant to contribute to the act of creation. Architecture and urban planning impacts our lives dramatically, dictating how we interact with our everyday environments, yet they are largely out of the layperson's control. This book allows everyone to make their mark through the use of color and value. Starting with prehistory and progressing through a re-imagined past, present and future, this book reinvents an architectural legacy, a "blank state" ready to be colored in or not. All that is needed is imagination and a willingness to dream.

Summary:
Greg Girard’s photographs of Vancouver from the 1970s and early 1980s show us the city’s final days as a port town at the end of the railway line. Soon after Vancouver began to be noticed by the wider world (Expo 86 is generally agreed on as the pivotal moment), the city began refashioning itself as an urban resort on nature’s doorstep and attracting attention as a destination for real estate investment. At that time, many of Vancouver’s downtown and east side streets ended at the waterfront, an area filled with commercial fishing docks, cargo terminals, and bars and cafes for waterfront workers and sailors. Wandering these streets, living in cheap hotels, Girard photographed the workaday (and night) world of the city where he grew up.

A proponent of the Düsseldorf school of photography and a master pupil of Thomas Ruff’s, the artist Ralf Brueck (b. 1966) thematises in his sophisticated, stringently composed works the architectural interior, the expanse of landscape, and modern architecture. The publication illustrates Brueck’s genesis – which began with the series Timecapsules, created at the end of the 1990s and devoted to modern church buildings – and builds a bridge to his two new series, Distortion and Deconstruction.
