Résumé:
The esteemed collectors Laurence and Patrick Seguin first discovered the work of Jean Prouvé in the late 1980s, and were quick to embrace his entire aesthetic vision, from architectural design to furniture. "There is no difference between constructing a piece of furniture and constructing a building," Prouvé once famously said, and the Seguins have modeled their collection around his stance, becoming major advocates and disseminators of his work in France. This book, which presents the Seguins' Prouvé collection for the first time, consequently provides a comprehensive overview of their holdings.

Opening this book is like peering into a cabinet of curiosities, a glass-encased world of specimens, where all manner of creatures have been meticulously preserved, arranged and classified. Entire drawers of pinned insects, a menagerie of threadbare rodents, sharks as dried husks, speckled assortments of eggs, flattened and brittle plants, lovingly wrapped birds, eerily floating reptiles, tiny skulls in glass jars, and myriad boxes of colourful minerals, shells and fossils, all with delicate, handwritten tags... the immense culmination of decades of scientific inquiry, photographed, categorised and presented in more than 150 full-colour pages.

Résumé:
Sluminsider is a choral narrative that attempts to reveal the complexity of the slum of Mathare, one of the biggest shantytowns in Nairobi. The project of expansion of a street school, the Why Not Junior Academy, and the process of environmental improvement of the surrounding area, where a community agriculture initiative has been set up to replace an unauthorized dump, is the starting point from which to combine experiences and identities from very different disciplines, including architecture,design, agriculture, photography and video. This project is one of the case studies used for comparison and dialogue with the city of São Paulo and the São Paulo Calling research project, which examined the informal settlements of Rome, Nairobi, Medellin, Mumbai, Moscow and Baghdad. For six months, an exhibition analyzed the characteristics, differences and causes of informal settlements, developing six workshops in the field in different favelas of São Paulo and organizing size encounters that made São Paulo the world capital of the debate on transformation of contemporary cities.

Résumé:
Inside The Rainbow reprints for the first time in English a unique compendium of Soviet picture books from the 1920 and 1930s. In the dark and dangerous world of revolutionary Petrograd, a group of Russian poets and artists came together to create a new kind of book for children. They dreamed of endless possibilities in a new world where children and grown-ups alike would be free from the bitterness of ignorance. For a time, when children's publications still escaped the scourge of state censorship, their books became a last haven for learning, poetic irony, burlesque and laughter. In this book 250 examples of illustration and design are complemented by some translations of poems and stories as well as texts from the victims, criminals and witnesses to the Russian revolution.
