Résumé:
What do we love about gardens, and what can landscape architecture be today? Guido Hager has been exploring these questions throughout the twenty-five years of his professional career. Based on an exhibition at Architekturforum Zürich, Hager has collected his ideas, insights, and experiences into a book featuring over three hundred illustrations and an abundance of creative thoughts on over sixty gardens, parks, squares, streets, and promenades. This publication provides a variety of perspectives on the garden in general as well as on the tradition of historical gardens. Hager shows how this garden culture has been translated into contemporary concepts that take site-specific contexts into consideration, reflecting on how structures can be designed to fit into a neighborhood, how they advance architecture, and whether or not they can simultaneously both stimulate and calm the senses.

Résumé:
Un an avant le Summer of Love, la revue Progressive Architecture publie un dossier brûlant : le « LSD : un outil de conception ? » Mais comment le LSD pourrait-il le devenir, et surtout : pourquoi ? Auteure de Architecture or Techno-Utopia : Politics after Modernism (MIT Press, 2007), Felicity Scott y répond d'abord à travers la figure tutélaire de Buckminster Fuller, de sa « découverte » de l'acide lysergique et de l'adaptation de ses dômes géodésiques en zomes psychédéliques. Or, comme Drop City, les road trips des Merry Pranksters et d'USCO ajoutent à la prairie et à la forêt cybernétiques chères à Richard Brautigan une « vision acide », intermédia et stroboscopiquement amplifiée. Mais, s'agissait-il vraiment d'un Grand Pas pour le Village Global ou le Vaisseau spatial Terre ? Felicity D. Scott est professeure-adjointe à la Graduate School of Architecture de Columbia University.

Résumé:
As a child growing up in Manhattan, William Helmreich played a game with his father called "Last Stop." They would pick a subway line, ride it to its final destination, and explore the neighborhood. Decades later, his love for exploring the city is as strong as ever. Putting his feet to the test, he decided that the only way to truly understand New York was to walk virtually every block of all five boroughs--an astonishing 6,000 miles. His journey took him to every corner of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Helmreich spoke with hundreds of New Yorkers from every part of the globe and all walks of life. He finds that to be a New Yorker is to struggle to understand the place and to make a life that is as highly local as it is dynamically cosmopolitan.

Résumé:
As Indigenous scientist and author of "Braiding sweetgrass" Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, "Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency."

Résumé:
Text by Philipp Kaiser, Polly Staple, Karl Holmqvist, Interview by Helena Selder. The video works of the Swedish artist and 2007 Documenta participant Johanna Billing, born in 1973, occupy an unusual terrain between documentary and staged scientific experiment. Billing depicts the rituals of society by filming, for example, a group of young people as they reconstruct a long-forgotten experiment, or a group of artists singing a melancholy ballad together in a gesture of solidarity. By focusing on the dialectical interplay between the individual and the community, Billing reveals processes of social erosion--but without asserting emphatic judgment of these processes. The artists video works--among them the well-known works You Don't Love Me Yet (2003) and Magical World (2005)--have been shown in many international group exhibitions, but this publication is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of her profoundly atmospheric productions.

Résumé:
In the follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut monograph "Sleeping by the Mississippi", Alec Soth turned his eye to another iconic body of water, Niagara Falls. As with his photographs of the Mississippi, Soth’s pictures of Niagara are less about natural wonder than human desire. “I went to Niagara for the same reason as the honeymooners and suicide jumpers,” says Soth, “the relentless thunder of the Falls just calls for big passion.” Working over the course of two years on both the American and Canadian sides of the Falls using a large-format 8x10 camera, the photographs are rigorously composed and richly detailed. Soth depicts newlyweds and naked lovers, motel parking lots and pawn shop wedding rings. Throughout the book, Soth has interspersed a number of love letters from the subjects he photographed. We read about teenage crushes, workplace affairs, heartbreak and suicide.

Résumé:
In an era of increasing individualism, we have never been more isolated and dispirited. A paradox confronts us. While research and technology find new ways to measure contentment and popular culture encourages us to think of happiness as a human right, misery is abundant. Segal believes we have lost the art of “radical happiness”—the liberation that comes with transformative, collective joy. She argues that instead of obsessing about our own well-being we should seek fulfilment in the lives of others. Examining her own experience in the women’s movement, Segal looks at the relationship between love and sex, and the scope for utopian thinking as a means to a better future. She also shows how the gaps in care that come from the diminishing role of the welfare state must be replaced by alternative ways of living together and looking after one another.
