Résumé:
In Immemory, Marker uses the format of the CD-ROM to create a multilayered, multimedia memoir. The reader investigates “zones” of travel, war, cinema and poetry, navigating through photographs, film clips, music and text, as if physically exploring Marker’s memory itself. The result is a veritable twenty-first century Remembrance of Things Past, an exploration of the state of memory in our digital era. With it, Marker has both invented a literary form and perfected it. System Requirements: Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later, including 10.5 Leopard.

Internationally renowned and award-winning historian Dr. Robert Jan van Pelt's 'The Evidence Room' is a chilling exploration of the role architecture played in constructing Auschwitz-arguably the Nazis' most horrifying facility. 'The Evidence Room' is both a companion piece to, and an elaboration of, the upcoming exhibit at the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale and at the Canadian Center for Architecture, based on van Pelt's authoritative testimony against Holocaust denial in a 2000 libel suit argued before the Royal Courts of Justice in London.

Résumé:
Bertram's exploration of the Turkish house shows how this feature of Ottoman culture took on symbolic meaning in the Turkish imagination as Turkey became more Westernized and secular in the early decades of the twentieth century. She shows how artists, writers, and architects all drew on the memory of the Turkish house as a space where changing notions of spirituality, modernity, and identity—as well as the social roles of women and the family—could be approached, contested, revised, or embraced during this period of tumultuous change.

Résumé:
Fruit de deux colloques internationaux organisés par la Haute École d’Art et de Design de Genève, « L’architecture d’intérieur en mots » (2015) et « La fin de l’intériorité ? » (2016), ce livre propose une vision d’ensemble d’une profession aux sensibilités parfois disparates et affirme avec force la spécificité de sa méthode (face notamment à ses disciplines soeurs que sont le design et l’architecture). Il constitue ainsi un référent théorique qui fonde une réflexion de l’espace qui consiste à placer l’humain au centre d’une exploration qui va de l’intérieur vers l’extérieur.

Do things have an order? This question is the starting point for Nathalie Du Pasquier’s exploration. All around lies a domestic and postmodern landscape of columns and bases, but also of objects of everyday use such as a packet of pasta or a can of beer.

Do things have an order? This question is the starting point for Nathalie Du Pasquier’s exploration. All around lies a domestic and postmodern landscape of columns and bases, but also of objects of everyday use such as a packet of pasta or a can of beer. The French artist tries to seal off objects in simple or elaborate boxes, but they live a life of their own and run wild. There might be relationships between the objects, invisible symmetries, although ultimately even this is called into doubt...

Résumé:
This work of literary nonfiction is a deep dive into our surroundings- cities, countryside, and sprawl- exploring change in the meaning of place and reimagining the world in a time of transition. Whether it be climate change altering the meaning of nature, or digital communications altering the nature of work, the effects of global enclosure on the meaning of place are panoramic, infiltrative, inescapable. In this exploration of our surroundings, ''The Absent Hand'' contends that to reimagine landscape is a form of cultural reinvention.
