Résumé:
Complex Order was born of a necessity to build a conversation around the work of spmb [São Paulo-Manitoba], in dialogue with other practitioners, artists, architects, theoreticians, and critics, mapping out the regions of understanding of what they do. Complex Order generates a public space of sorts, stretching the discussion of public space itself—its poetics and politics, its actions and representations. Rather than follow the tradition of the monograph, centred in the production of the individual artist, Complex Order rethinks the artist’s book, investigating the relationships of spmb’s work within a larger context.

This volume reunites a selection of paintings from the Roma series, completed during Guston's residency at the American Academy in Rome in 1970-71. From early in his career, Guston had taken inspiration from Italian art, and his 1973 painting "Pantheon" features a list of Italian painters: de Chirico, Masaccio, Piero della Francesca, Giotto and Tiepolo.

Résumé:
Les écrits d'Aldo Rossi sont indissociables de son oeuvre graphique et architecturale. Cette autobiographie ne constitue pas un simple retour sur soi ou une abstraction théorique mais bien une création littéraire puisant dans l'imaginaire architectonique. Le dialogue qu'établit Rossi avec son propre passé et son travail, mêlant souvenirs d'enfance et réflexions philosophiques sur l'architecture, révèle ses principales, influences artistiques et littéraires, sa fascination pour la répétition, le collage, les transpositions ou son obsession pour le théâtre. L'écriture de Rossi est comme son architecture : nostalgique, austère, subtile et incisive à la fois, élégiaque.

Résumé:
Fit is a book about architecture and society that seeks to fundamentally change how architects and the public think about the task of design. Distinguished architect and urbanist Robert Geddes argues that buildings, landscapes, and cities should be designed to fit: fit the purpose, fit the place, fit future possibilities. Fit replaces old paradigms, such as form follows function, and less is more, by recognizing that the relationship between architecture and society is a true dialogue -dynamic, complex, and, if carried out with knowledge and skill, richly rewarding.

Résumé:
Twelve curators each selected eight artists to represent the avant-garde of a specific city. These artists are senior figures or newer faces, artists working in familiar mediums or inventing their own, but they all share two qualities: a commitment to experimental art and a dedication to their local milieu. In dialogue with larger concerns, their unique sensibility can be found nowhere else. This book widens the expected historical narrative, allowing us to imagine a future of diverse aesthetics and shared concerns in the common language of contemporary art.
