Résumé:
Une cuillère en bois clair finlandais fait l’écho d’une cuillère en bois sombre nigérien, une chaise danoise de forme organique ressemble à un meuble d’artisanat de la Côte d’Ivoire, un aplat d’imprimé Marimekko devient ethnique associé à un indigo optique à motif de feuille de bananier, un échantillon de tissus folklorique suédois reflète un morceau de tissage kente, tandis qu’une couverture graphique lapon repose confortablement près d’une couverture marocaine… Avec le dialogue est-ouest stagnant dans une mentalité isolationniste et une politique patriotique, le monde progresse vers une nouvelle vague… Ce livre n’est pas juste une mise en scène surprenante, taquinant nos yeux et chatouillant nos sens, mais un challenge d’ampleur géo-politique; un dialogue entre les continents, un échange de tradition et de commerce, un manifeste pour la rencontre des esprits. Ce jeune siècle verra le Nord et le Sud s’embrasser, déclenchant une inspiration pour des décennies à venir, vers un modernisme à la fois archaïque et contemporain.

Résumé:
Archaeology of the Digital delves into the genesis and establishment of digital tools for design conceptualization, visualization, and production at the end of the 1980s. How was the transition from analog practices to new digital tools managed, and the dialogue between them exploited? What was the cultural and technological landscape of that moment? These questions are at the foundation of this publication and its accompanying exhibition that unfold around four projects selected as seminal moments in the early development stages of digital architecture: Frank Gehry’s Lewis Residence (1989 –1995), Peter Eisenman’s Frankfurt Biozentrum (1987), Shoei Yoh’s design of the roof structure of Odawara Municipal Sports Complex and of Galaxy Toyama Gymnasium (1990 –1992) and Chuck Hoberman’s Expanding Sphere (1991) and Iris Dome (1994). Each project established a significant direction for architectural research by experimenting with the possibilities offered by novel digital tools. The dialogue between computer sciences, architecture and engineering is at the core of these experiments, which can be considered precursors of approaches still operative today.

Résumé:
Among the events of Turin World Design Capital, the project IN Residence, curated by Brondi and Marco Rainò, created a 48hours workshop, in which five designers reflected with a group of thirty students from specific institutions dedicated to design of the city of Turin. The subject of the discussion / creation was the role of design as an expressive resource sensitive to environmental conditions. In its impact with the environment, design produces "new" objects that become in time integral part of the landscape (moreover, they contribute to its construction and development). Pre-existing landscape and created object - "nature" and "artifice" - are the two starting points from which the IN Residence project starts. This book is dedicated to the project IN Residence.
