Résumé:
For more than five decades, Lee Friedlander has repeatedly been drawn to the signs that inscribe the American landscape, from hand-lettered ads to storefront windows to massive billboards. Incorporating these markings with precision and sly humor, Friedlander’s photographs record a kind of found poetry of desire and commerce. Focusing on one of the artist’s key motifs, "Lee Friedlander: Signs" presents a cacophony of wheat-paste posters, Coca-Cola ads, prices for milk, road signs, stop signs, neon lights, movie marquees and graffiti. The book collects 144 photographs made in New York and other places across the US, and features self-portraits, street photographs and work from series including "The American Monument and America by Car", among others.

Résumé:
D’une façon générale, on considère que les surélévations participent aux objectifs d’intensification du renouvellement urbain et aux besoins de construction de logements par une densification des tissus bâtis existants. En effet, longtemps envisagées comme une question purement architecturale, tout au plus technique, les surélévations sont de nos jours perçues comme un exercice complexe qui implique des approches multiples et pluridisciplinaires. Cet ouvrage vise à faire un « arrêt sur image » sur les surélévations, notamment en mettant l’accent sur la spécificité genevoise en la matière.

Résumé:
In 2009, the Dolder Grand celebrates its first birthday following a four-year remodelling by Foster+Partners. To mark the occasion, this publication outlines the history of an iconic institution, steeped in tradition, from its beginnings as a Kurhaus in 1899 to its present-day reincarnation. Photographers from the Zurich studio nave have documented the entire project throughout every stage of the refurbishment, charting the scope of the hotel’s metamorphosis. They portray the people who made it all possible and also allow them to speak for themselves. The resulting narrative in pictures and words is not simply a linear documentation, but a rich and complex tapestry in which text and image are interwoven with a lyricism that brings the architecture to life on the pages of the book. Journalist Judith Wyder complements the photographs with anecdotes that give a many-facetted insight into the operational logistics behind the scenes in the day-to-day running of the hotel. In addition, she details the painstaking restoration work, the history of the hotel itself and the names of some of its most famous guests. Dutch novelist Cees Nooteboom has contributed an essay in which he describes the hotel as a microcosm and a home away from home, musing on how guests tend to take possession of the hotels they stay in.

Résumé:
In graphic design, instructions, city planning, and other creative disciplines, complex tasks related to orientation and disorientation are on the rise. “Dis-/Orientation 2” is an academic investigation into phenomena, representations, and stagings of orientation and disorientation.
