Summary:
In Buildings Must Die, Stephen Cairns and Jane Jacobs look awry at core architectural concerns. They examine spalling concrete and creeping rust, contemplate ruins old and new, and pick through the rubble of earthquake-shattered churches, imploded housing projects, and demolished Brutalist office buildings. Their investigation of the death of buildings reorders architectural notions of creativity, reshapes architecture’s preoccupation with good form, loosens its vanities of durability, and expands its sense of value. It does so not to kill off architecture as we know it, but to rethink its agency and its capacity to make worlds differently.

Summary:
Marcel Dzama is a prolific artist who works in multiple disciplines, including sculpture, watercolour, ink, collage, and film. His art depicts anachronistic, fanciful, and subversive worlds that contain human figures, animals, and mythical hybrid creatures. Using a visual language strongly influenced by fables and masquerades, his complex narratives transport the viewer into an enigmatic world of life and death, calm and violence, where irony, ridicule, and sexual themes disguise allusions to contemporary social and political issues. This catalogue of drawings, dioramas, and other works is published on the occasion of an exhibition of Dzamas work at La Casa Encendida in Madrid.

Summary:
The cities of Paris and Chandigarh are the two poles in whose field of tension Le Corbusier's unique creative powers developed. Paris stands for the experimental white modernism of the twenties, a phase that begins immediately after his early works and peaks in the Villa Savoye. Chandigarh in India is the location of the brutalist monumental buildings that accompanied Le Corbusier almost throughout his late period until his death. In between these two great phases - in this book as well - comes his town planning work applied to concrete projects and also his preoccupation with geometrical design principles in the Modulor.
