Résumé:
“A terrible mechanism [is] on the march, its gears multiplying.” So begins the 48th issue of Harvard Design Magazine, guest edited by Mark Lee, chair of the department of architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and Florencia Rodriguez, editorial director of -Ness Magazine. The issue takes as its theme the slippery and ambiguous figure of “America,” seen through the lens of the built and unbuilt environment. Americanization—once the “terrible mechanism” bent on pressing capitalist values on emerging economies everywhere—is now in retreat, eclipsed by the more urgent domestic concerns of pandemic and climate change, racial injustice and domestic radicalization. The very notion of what constitutes America is ripe for redefinition. The America Issue of Harvard Design Magazine, featuring a new design and art direction by Alexis Mark, invites historians, architects, landscape architects, urban designers, theorists, curators, artists, and planners to reflect on the country’s past and present, and to imagine sustainable futures. Projects, taxonomies, dialogues, essays, and spatial interpretations explore possible Americas. They allow us to delve into issues relevant to small cities, towns, and rural areas—as well as major urban centers—and to study barriers and opportunities facing communities across the country.

Résumé:
Throughout the ages architects have attempted to capture the essence of living systems as design inspiration. However, practitioners of the built environment have had to deal with a fundamental split between the artificial urban landscape and nature owing to a technological 'gap' that means architects have been unable to make effective use of biological systems in urban environments. This edition of AD that shows for the first time that contemporary architects can create and construct architectures that are bottom up, synthetically biological, green and have no recourse to shallow bio-mimicry. In the next few decades, synthetic biology is set to have as much, if not more, impact on architecture as cyberspace and the digital. The key to these amazing architectural innovations is the Protocell. Contributors include: Rachel Armstrong; Martin Hanczyc; Lee Cronin; Mark Morris Architects include: Neil Spiller; Nic Clear; IwamotoScott; Paul Preissner; Omar Khan;Dan Slavinsky; Philip Beesley; Neri Oxman

Résumé:
This volume, "Grace Wales Bonner: Dream in the rhythm—visions of sound and spirit in the MoMA Collection", is an artist’s book created by the acclaimed London-based designer Grace Wales Bonner as “an archive of soulful expression.” Through an extraordinary selection of nearly 80 works from The Museum of Modern Art’s collection and archives, this unique volume draws multisensory connections between pictures and poems, music and performance, hearing and touch, gestures and vibrations, and bodies in motion. Photographs, scores and films by artists such as Dawoud Bey, Mark Bradford, Roy DeCarava, Lee Friedlander, David Hammons, Glenn Ligon, Steve McQueen, Lorna Simpson and Ming Smith, among others, are juxtaposed with signal texts by Black authors spanning the past century, including Amiri Baraka, Nikki Giovanni, Langston Hughes, June Jordan, Robin Coste Lewis, Ishmael Reed, Greg Tate, Jean Toomer, Quincy Troupe and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye. Published on the occasion of the exhibition "Artist’s Choice: Grace Wales Bonner—Spirit Movers", this resplendent publication is a deeply personal meditation on and around modern Black expression that echoes Wales Bonner’s own vibrant, virtuosic designs.

Résumé:
After the second world war, New York became a laboratory for the avant-garde, a role it would maintain for decades. Despite the increasing globalisation and decentralization of the centers of artistic creativity, New York continues to embody some of the most significant artistic trends of the 20th century. Published on the occasion of the major exhibition at the Grimaldi Forum, the book is the first to explore this topic, broadly interpreted to encompass the fields of architecture, cinema, photography, music, performance and video. By selectively focusing on the successive arts movements of those decades (including Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, and Postmodernism ), it highlights the dominant role that American artists have, through their work, played in the art world; these American artists turned New York into a unique place to express themselves as fully as possible, and to become known and established on the international arts scene. The artists, photographers, architects, musicians and filmmakers included in the book: Vito Acconci, Laurie Anderson, Carl Andre, Diane Arbus, Richard Artschwager, Richard Avedon, Matthew Barney, Jean-Michel Basquiat, John Cage, John Chamberlain, Gregory Crewdson, Merce Cunningham, John Currin, Bruce Davidson, Willem de Kooning, Jim Dine, Mark di Suvero, Elliot Erwitt, Richard Estes, Eric Fischl, Dan Flavin, Robert Frank, Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Friedlander, Tom Friedman, Robert Gober, Nan Goldin, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Eva Hesse, Hans Hoffman, Jenny Holzer, Peter Hujar, Jasper Johns, Donald Judd, Alex Katz, Ellsworth Kelly, Andrés Kertész, Franz Kline, Joseph Kosuth, Barbara Kruger, Annie Leibovitz, Sol LeWitt, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Longo, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Morris Louis, Robert Mapplethorpe, Brice Marden, Mary Ellen Mark, Agnes Martin, Susan Meiselas, Joel Meyerowitz, Duane Michals, Joan Mitchell, Robert Morris, Robert Motherwell, Bruce Nauman, Barnet Newman, Claes Oldenburg, Nam June Paik, Irving Penn, Gilles Peress, Sylvia Plachy, Jackson Pollock, Richard Prince, Robert Rauschenberg, Ad Reinhardt, Eugene Richards, James Rosenquist, Mark Rothko, Susan Rothenberg, Robert Ryman, David Salle, Lucas Samaras, Tom Sachs, Andres Serrano, Joel Shapiro, Julian Schnabel, Richard Serra, Cindy Sherman, Laurie Simmons, David Smith, Doug and Mike Starn, Frank Stella, Haim Steinbach, Joel Sternfeld, Clyfford Still, Cy Twombly, Kara Walker, Andy Warhol, Lawrence Weiner, Tom Wesselman, Brian Weil, Sue Williams, Garry Winogrand, David Wojnarowicz, Christopher Wool.
