Résumé:
Moments spent in elevators, check-ins at airports, subway rides-these are all examples of the kind of "in-between" time that fascinates Walead Beshty and supplies material for his photographs. "In-between time" applies to civic space, too-depopulated modernist housing developments that sit precariously between evacuation and demolition, plants, weeds and vegetation on(...)

Résumé:
Moments spent in elevators, check-ins at airports, subway rides-these are all examples of the kind of "in-between" time that fascinates Walead Beshty and supplies material for his photographs. "In-between time" applies to civic space, too-depopulated modernist housing developments that sit precariously between evacuation and demolition, plants, weeds and vegetation on isolated highway medians, or abandoned shopping malls. More recently, Beshty's adventures in "the in-between" have become a means of production, as he makes creative use of such mundane procedures as air travel or sending a package. This monograph presents a ten-year overview of Walead Beshty's approach to photographic and sculptural representation, and contains newly commissioned essays by Suzanne Hudson and Nicolas Bourriaud, as well as a conversation between Bob Nickas and Beshty.

Résumé:
This is the latest of Donovan Wylie's (born 1971) books that explore the architecture of the Northern Ireland conflict. While Wylie's earlier publications document disappearing military structures, ''Housing Plans for the Future'' focuses on the legacy of architectural containment in urban areas today. Wylie took these photos during walks through a number of social-housing neighborhoods in inner-city Belfast, which look eerily similar. While the built environments at first appear benign, even mundane, sustained looking reveals how they purposely control vision and movement. Walls block vehicle access, houses are inverted to face away from neighboring communities and minimize potential antagonism, and excessive street lighting ensures visibility. These defensive structures, built in the 1970s and '80s and still populated today, are a powerful and largely unrecognized legacy of the Northern Ireland conflict.

Thomas Struth presents a series of urban streetscapes from cities such as Edinburgh, Lima, Pyongyang, Naples, and New York City, all taken in similar conditions--devoid of human activity. Struth refers to these mundane buildings, unpopulated streets and anonymous facades as "unconscious places"--environments that are imbued with meaning only by the viewer. Captured with exquisite technical prowess and presented with powerful, restrained neutrality, Struth's images allow us to fully appreciate a city's character--from its telephone wires above to the pavement below. Richard Sennett's illuminating essay reveals how Struth's sober, lucid photography leads the viewer to create their own conclusions, rather than forcing a perspective. The resulting interplay among photographer, viewer, and landscape may hold the key to understanding how architecture affects our daily lives.

Walker Evans’ work was spread over forty-six fitful and prolific years, yet in a scant two years, 1935-1936, he produced a singular body of work that defined his career. In the process he refined a hybrid style which combined documentation with sly personal comment.

Résumé:
Walker Evans’ work was spread over forty-six fitful and prolific years, yet in a scant two years, 1935-1936, he produced a singular body of work that defined his career. In the process he refined a hybrid style which combined documentation with sly personal comment. During that brief time he worked for the Farm Security Administration (previously the U.S. Resettlement Administration) photographing the consequences of the Great Depression. He delighted in being the artist traveling incognito as an artless photojournalist, but with the independence to satisfy his own designs. This volume presents those seminal images for the first time as a comprehensive body and in chronological order. These are prime examples of Evans’ alchemy — his seemingly effortless transformation of mundane fact into sweeping lyricism. This series not only defines his mature style but also offers a path for artists of future generations.

Consisting of 56 images taken with the Polaroid SX-70 (the now cult camera produced between 1972 and 1981) and hand-mounted in a black leather album also produced by the company, Polaroid SX-70 is the first publication of Eggleston's Polaroids. The gloriously mundane subjects of these photos—a Mississippi street sign, a telephone book, stacked crates of empty soda bottles—is familiar Eggleston territory, but, fascinatingly, all of these Polaroids were taken outdoors. They are rare records of Eggleston's strolls or drives in and around Mississippi, complementing the majority of his work made with color negative film or color slides, and showing his flair for photo-sequencing in book form.

In the experience of the modern city, the enjoyment of the mundane, small-scale privacy of the public garden is just as important as the impressive spectacle of monumental buildings and public events. "Breeze of AIR", the seventh edition of Architecture International Rotterdam, a global interdisciplinary architectural manifestation, explores the significance of the enclosed garden as a place of respite and nature among increasingly complex urban activity. Nine designers from Western and non-Western gardening traditions were invited by the AIR Foundation to make proposals for nine locations in Rotterdam; their designs are presented here. Edited by Anne-Mie Devolder & Willemien Ippel. Essays by Turgut Cansever, Anne-Mie Devolder, Erik de Jong, Eric Luiten, Bartomeu Mari, Ivan Nio, Adriaan van der Staay, Mark Treibe, Ken Worpole. Landscape Designers include: Charles Correa, Georges Descombes, George Hargreaves, Kamel Louafi, Ryue Nishizawa, Piet Oudolf, Kazuyo Sejima.

In itself, it is also a gathering place, a random community of what has been and what is yet to be, a catalog of traces and a set of promises: dead skin cells and plant pollen, hair and paper fibers, not to mention dust mites who make it their home. And so, dust blurs the boundaries between the living and the dead, plant and animal matter, the inside and the outside, you and the world (“for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return”). This book treats one of the most mundane and familiar phenomena, showing how it can provide a key to thinking about existence, community, and justice today. - See more at: http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/dust-9781628925586/#sthash.ghw4gFcC.dpuf

Résumé:
Architecture is bound up with our daily lives but, for most of us, it is experienced as a blur of habit. Our reactions towards the buildings that surround us are often culturally generated, and we experience them in ways that are immediate but often mundane. "How to enjoy architecture: A guide for everyone" encourages us to move beyond this and, instead, really look at buildings. Renowned architect Charles Holland talks about the buildings and architects that excite and inspire him, and the ideas and principles through which we can engage with architecture. By breaking buildings down into categories such as materials, structure, space, and use, Holland guides us through drastically different styles and building types—from the satisfying symmetry of a Queen Anne house to the thrill of a high-tech tower, or the social ideals that lie behind a housing estate. In doing so, he demonstrates how looking at, experiencing, and using architecture can bring joy in itself.

Résumé:
Three series of intricate graphite drawings depict, with arresting realism, real-world examples of assembled, grown, and built objects common to distinct milieus of Vancouver: the shopping carts piled high with belongings that clatter along sidewalks in the downtown core; the long, high hedges that insulate single-family homes from the din of arterial traffic; and the sculptural lions placed for good luck atop fenceposts in front of many homes, especially on the city's east side. In creating snapshots and then laborious drawings of these objects, Taizo Yamamoto, the principal of Yamamoto Architecture, was driven by a fascination with how the recurrence of these seemingly mundane objects speaks to omnipresent issues of housing unaffordability, densification, and the aspirations of diasporic communities - concerns that have an uneasy relationship to celebrated narratives of Vancouver but play a prominent role in residents' everyday lives. To this work he brings not just sustained careful attention but an architect's eye for details both structural and textural, resulting in immersive, richly nuanced drawings.

Résumé:
Light is a powerful force for design inspiration. From the mundane to the bizarre, the strictly functional to the wildly ostentatious, a panoply of objects has been created in response to the desire for artificial illumination. This first title in the V Contemporary Series explores the exciting range of new lighting forms and technologies from the archetypal domestic lamp to innovations in lighted clothing. It features a range of internationally renowned designers, from Ron Arad to Karim Rashid. Covering products from the one-off to the mass-produced, it also charts crossovers in design practice, incorporating textiles, fashion and ceramics as well as product design and new technological developments. New materials which pulse and glow, alternative means of power conduction which negate the need for wires, heat resistant fabrics and "cool" light sources all offer new and exciting opportunities to designers. This book introduces some of the most innovative names in contemporary lighting and explores the significance of light in the designed environment.
