Résumé:
Situated in Central Asia, Xinjiang is an autonomous region of the People’s Republic of China traditionally inhabited primarily by Uyghurs, in addition to significant populations of Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Mongolian and other minorities. Patrick Wack traversed this massive territory, three times the size of France, with camera in hand to gain a sense of its history, people, and current state of unrest due to China’s crackdown on its Muslim population. Islamophobia in China has flared in recent years due to reports of radicalised Uyghur volunteers fighting for ISIS in Syria and elsewhere. Wack counters this with a riveting account of his experiences in a place where the dust is omnipresent.

Résumé:
Since 1978, Herzog & de Meuron have consistently refined a fundamental approach to architecture that is tangibly rooted in the urban biography of Basel. It is here in the birthplace of the two founders that the office has prospered and acquired an international reach. The work of the architects is inscribed in the landscape of Basel, a city that has now become a triational metropolis. This book is the result of ten years of exchange with Jacques Herzog, Pierre de Meuron, and their partners. Interwoven texts and images yield an eloquent portrait of Herzog & de Meuron and trace the physiognomy of an expanded historical territory, both monumental and intimate.

Résumé:
Shaped by water and enclosed by the Prenestini, Ruffi, Simbruini, and Lepini mountains, the Aniene Valley reveals a landscape of remarkable complexity, where nature and history intertwine in a continuous process of transformation. Stretching between Rome, Tivoli, and Subiaco, this territory unfolds along the seventy kilometres of the Via Tiburtina, preserving ancient and modern traces of human presence and a long-standing dialogue between people and the environment. This guide offers a renewed interpretation of the Valley through interdisciplinary contributions, highlighting sacred spaces and a living, fragile landscape - a threshold between the Ager Tiburtinus and the mountains, to be rediscovered with a more attentive, mindful gaze.
Sebastian Arrighi: Fall off
$54.00
(disponible en magasin)
Résumé:
"Fall Off," by Sébastien Arrighi, turns the notion of falling into a lens through which to read the relationship between humankind and its environment. Like a rodeo—an attempt to hold on, at all costs, to a force greater than oneself—the images explore states of precarious balance, constantly threatened by matter, climate, or history. Bringing into resonance(...)

Résumé:
"Fall Off," by Sébastien Arrighi, turns the notion of falling into a lens through which to read the relationship between humankind and its environment. Like a rodeo—an attempt to hold on, at all costs, to a force greater than oneself—the images explore states of precarious balance, constantly threatened by matter, climate, or history. Bringing into resonance geographically distant territories, from the Mediterranean basin to the Middle East and the landscapes of the Pacific, Sébastien Arrighi composes a body of visions in which human traces surface only faintly. Each image reveals how a given territory shapes bodies, postures, and narratives, within a persistent tension between control and collapse.

The book spans Murcutt's entire career, from the early modernist houses to his most recent commissions in the 21st century, identifies recurring themes in his work and analyses how his buildings 'marry modern architecture to the place, the territory, the landcape' to arrive at an ecological functionalism.

Résumé:
The book spans Murcutt's entire career, from the early modernist houses to his most recent commissions in the 21st century, identifies recurring themes in his work and analyses how his buildings 'marry modern architecture to the place, the territory, the landcape' to arrive at an ecological functionalism. The buildings themselves are an eclectic selection ranging from Murcutt's courtyard houses in Sydney to free-standing residences set in Australia's barren and isolated landscapes. The full-colour photography, much of it supplied from the architect's own private collection, testifies to the aesthetic appeal of the buildings, while Murcutt's line drawings and plans lend further insight into his work.

Résumé:
Inner Space is part of an ongoing research project into the construction of the architectural imagination. It sets out to investigate the space between the inner and outer realities, a space that could be inhabited and explored in itself, looking for those moments in which the two realms interact most vividly. Besides, it also identifies two parallel and strictly intertwined movements intervening in the construction of architectural imagination: a collective one and an individual one, two spheres complementing each other. The aim is to identify imagination as an immersive territory that can be experienced, crossed and even inhabited, defined as a human ability which partly relies on a collective process.

Résumé:
The unique convergence of architecture and landscape found on the Bernina Pass inspired Swiss photographer Guido Baselgia to create a visual epic. The result is a one-of-a-kind presentation of the new road maintenance base near Bernina Pass, designed by renowned Swiss firm Bearth & Deplazes Architekten, in a seemingly arctic winter landscape. Baselgia explored the territory along the road and railway line with his analog camera. His images also draw a connection between the existing infrastructures for traffic and energy production—built over the course of the landscape’s industrialization and continued development since the late nineteenth century—and the architecture of the new maintenance base.
