Résumé:
Like Bruno Munari or Charles Eames, the designer Fredun Shapur (born 1929) made a particular daring and inventive contribution to the world of children. Between the 1960s and 1980s he designed toys for manufacturers such as Naef in Switzerland, Galt Toys in Great Britain, and above all Creative Playthings in the United States. From wooden puzzles to animal disguises made from paper sacks, Shapur's toys still have the power to challenge and enchant, while his use of colour and graphic refinement remain strikingly modern.

Résumé:
This monograph of work and projects by Venezuelan-born, Swiss-based architect Christian Kerez seeks to elucidate his particular approach, which emphasises how architecture does not exist in and of itself, but is rather a reflection of a practice of questioning, and of working with the unexpected. At its core, the things we take for granted must be seen again, in a new(...)

Résumé:
This monograph of work and projects by Venezuelan-born, Swiss-based architect Christian Kerez seeks to elucidate his particular approach, which emphasises how architecture does not exist in and of itself, but is rather a reflection of a practice of questioning, and of working with the unexpected. At its core, the things we take for granted must be seen again, in a new light. Architecture critic Erwin Viray delves into this kind of reasoning in a conversation with Kerez, while the book beautifully presents examples of his designs, among them, a high-rise in Zhengzhou, the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, social housing in Paraisópolis and a school building in Munich.

Résumé:
Notre époque serait celle de la mobilisation infinie du monde ; tourisme de masse et délocalisations diverses accompagnent un imaginaire de référence marqué par la globalisation de l'espace, la vitesse des circulations et un refus des enracinements définitifs. Une ontologie sociale et culturelle inédite se dessine. De nouvelles géographies du monde apparaissent dans les territoires et les paysages. Que deviennent les paysages quittés ? Comment sont créés, ou recréés, des univers paysagers dans les lieux d'accueil ? Qu'en est-il des paysages des camps dits d'accueil et de transit, des camps de réfugiés ? Ce numéro accueille des contributions s'appuyant sur des études de cas (Yann Lafolie sur l'Atelier solidaire à Lille, Nadine Cattan sur les femmes srilankaises à Beyrouth, Léa Hommage sur la pratique nomade et l'espace urbain à Ulaanbaatar en Mongolie, Bruno Hervé sur le déplacement d'un village au Pérou, Frédéric Pousin sur Garrett Eckbo, Bruno Laperche sur un observatoire palestinien des paysages, Anne-Christine Habbard sur la Partition de l'Inde et du Pakistan, Isabel Lopes Cardoso sur les discours sur le paysage au Portugal), et d'autres interrogeant la mobilité comme phénomène social et politique contemporain (Étienne Tassin à travers la notion de «condition migrante», Michel Agier de «paysage global» des camps, Barbara Bender de «Landscapes on-the-move», Vilém Flusser de «philosophie de l'émigration», François Gemenne de «paysage migratoire»).

Résumé:
Colour Based on Nature takes the concept of Irma Boom’s previous work further afield, highlighting UNESCO World Heritage sites across the globe and on every continent. This time, the colour diagrams are derived from 80 natural locations designated by the UNESCO list. It is an exercise in describing without words, using instead colours to evoke and celebrate the essence of a place. Detailed information about the World Heritage properties, their selection criteria, how many are inscribed per nation and in what regions such sites are most endangered makes this an important tribute to the reasons such places exist.
