Résumé:
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:
Architectural collections are warehouses of knowledge: they are resources for historical plans and buildings, and they offer insight and ideas for the designs of tomorrow. However, in the age of computer-aided design, the sketches, plans and models that were once available for research and exhibitions are being replaced by bits and bytes on a variety of storage media whose lifetimes have no guaranteed length. The Architekturmuseum at the Technical University in Munich has one of the largest special collections of architecture in Europe. This publication presents its complex history while placing it in the context of other prominent international collections. Selected examples are used to discuss questions about collecting, research and the exhibition of architecture in the future.

Résumé:
In a daring act of historical reconstruction, the curator Germano Celant, in dialogue with Thomas Demand and Rem Koolhaas, has recreated Harald Szeemann’s epochal Live in Your Head: When Attitudes Become Form, held at the Bern Kunsthalle in 1969, and installed by Celant at the magnificent Ca’ Corner della Regina in Venice in June–November 2013. Szeemann’s show was a dialogue with the Bern Kunsthalle, and Celant has reprised its spirit by placing the works in dialogue with the Ca’ Corner della Regina--a very different building, in its Venetian grandeur, to the Kunsthalle.

Résumé:
The international touring exhibition "Die gute Form" was conceived by MAx Bill on behalf of the Swiss Werkbund SWB and was shown for the first time in 1949 at the Basel Mustermesse trade fair. The exhibition consisted of 80 dispay panels, designed by Bill, presenting a selection of consumer goods from all over the world and chosen by him as examples of good design. The show caused some upset in Switzerland and fueled heated debates abroad. But it also exerted a wide-reaching influence-for example, on the way in which consumer goods were perceived.
