Résumé:
Shortly after Storefront for Art and Architecture was founded in 1982, director Kyong Park began circulating a regular 'newsletter' among the gallery's friends and followers in New York City. Sent by mail to a list of up to 3,000 people, this news-sheet/poster served to inform New Yorkers on upcoming exhibitions, events and programs in the gallery; it also served as a reader or exhibition guide of sorts, offering critical contextualizations to the exhibitions on display at Storefront. Over time, the archive of Storefront's Newsprints grew to become the most complete historical documentation of the gallery's programs since its earliest days. 'Storefront Newsprints 1982-2009' is comprised of reproductions of over 154 newsletters, many of which contain otherwise unpublished texts by artists, architects and theorists such as Vito Acconci, Lebbeus Woods, Michael Sorkin, Beatriz Colomina, Michael Webb and Eyal Weizman, among others.

Résumé:
C'est l'histoire d'un petit bout de terre au coeur de Tel-Aviv, sur lequel est bâti aujourd'hui le centre commercial Dizengoff Center ; qui était auparavant Nordia, le quartier de baraquements des immigrés polonais immortalisé par Yaacov Shabtaï dans Pour inventaire ; qui était auparavant une étendue de vignes, de sables et d'orangeraies appartenant à un grand propriétaire terrien arabe de Jaffa : Adib Mahmad Hinawi. Lequel est mystérieusement assassiné à l'arme blanche, le 3 novembre 1939, dans une rue de Jaffa... De ce crime "originel" à l'explosion d'un autobus en 1996, Tamar Berger livre une passionnante enquête sur la naissance d'une jeune métropole, véritable généalogie urbaine d'un territoire ultrasensible : Tel-Aviv. Flânerie littéraire et historique hantée par Walter Benjamin et Charles Baudelaire, réflexion poétique et politique sur la ville, un document d'une richesse unique, entre histoire littéraire, archéologie familiale et saga immobilière, enquête cadastrale et analyse géopolitique.

Résumé:
Venice represented John Ruskin’s ideal of civic society—“The Paradise of Cities,” where culture, government, and faith existed in creative harmony. Robert Hewison traces Ruskin’s long and intricate relationship with the city. He shows how Ruskin shed his earlier Romantic vision of the city and developed a harder, clearer conception of neglected Gothic Venice through an intense study of the city's physical fabric that would change the international understanding of the city. Drawing on the rich resources of Ruskin’s drawings, architectural notebooks, and manuscripts, Hewison offers insights into both Ruskin and nineteenth-century Venice and reveals how Ruskin’s work and his connection with the city from youth to old age have helped to shape the image of the Venice we know today.

Résumé:
"As architects," writes David Chipperfield, "we must both be part of and stand apart from the culture within which we operate. To be effective we must embrace power but also distance ourselves, we must engage in dialogue and we must refuse to listen, we must explore the familiar and the unfamiliar, we must embrace history and reject it. Finally we must resolve our ideas(...)

Résumé:
"As architects," writes David Chipperfield, "we must both be part of and stand apart from the culture within which we operate. To be effective we must embrace power but also distance ourselves, we must engage in dialogue and we must refuse to listen, we must explore the familiar and the unfamiliar, we must embrace history and reject it. Finally we must resolve our ideas in matter and form." This publication was initiated and designed by the architect, who, in four sections, writes on form, language, composition and materiality. His choice of images, including architectural sketches and drawings, help to make this a personal notebook that documents the resolution and realization of formal ideas from his own viewpoint. Also featuring plans and illustrations of built and unbuilt projects, it explores the relationship between form and matter, both theoretically and practically.

Résumé:
What is Architectural History? considers the questions and problems posed by architectural historians since the rise of the discipline in the late nineteenth century. How do historians of architecture organise past time and relate it to the present? How does historical evidence translate into historical narrative? Leach treats the disciplinarity of architectural history as an open question, moving between three key approaches to historical knowledge of architecture: within art history, as an historical specialisation and, most prominently, within architecture.

Résumé:
This revealing memoir by Aldo Rossi (1937–1997) intermingles discussions of Rossi's architectural projects—including the major literary and artistic influences on his work—with his personal history. Drawn from notebooks Rossi kept beginning in 1971, these ruminations and reflections range from his obsession with theater to his concept of architecture as ritual. The book originally appeared as one of the landmark titles in the MIT Press's Oppositions Books series, but has been out of print for many years. This newly issued paperback reprint includes illustrations—photographs, evocative images, and a set of drawings of Rossi's major architectural projects—selected by the author himself to augment the text.
