Résumé:
After studying at the Architectural Association in London, John Godwin and Gillian Hopwood moved to Nigeria, where they significantly shaped the country's architectural landscape for more than sixty years. When Nigeria became independent in 1960 following British dominance since the 19th century, the couple worked to create architecture that was site-specific, modern, and adapted to the climate relevant to Nigeria's aspirational political and economic policies. In this illustrated monograph, organised by typology, Ben Tosland examines Godwin and Hopwood's form of tropical modernism and illuminates its contemporary meanings and concluding with its relevance in times of the climate crisis.

Résumé:
Because filming has long been restricted in Nigeria, few images of Lagos exist. Based on research by The Harvard Project on the City under the direction of Rem Koolhaas, this DVD represents a unique engagement with a hardly documented city, capturing multiple perspectives of a volatile moment in its evolution. In 2002, Bregtje van der Haak, in cooperation with architect Rem Koolhaas and The Harvard Project on the City made "Lagos/Koolhaas", a documentary on self-organization and urbanization in Nigeria. As a sequel to the documentary, Bregtje van der Haak together with designer Silke Wawro, developed the DVD "Lagos wide & close, an interactive journey into an exploding city". The DVD contains an interactive video documentary (60'), edited from 55 hours of unused material that brings the viewer closer to the explosively growing megalopolis Lagos. With bus driver Olawole Busayo, the viewer moves through the city and has a choice of a distant ('wide') or an involved ('close') perspective, at any random moment in the documentary.

Résumé:
Printed Pages is an arts and design magazine which focuses on depth and discovery, combining engaging and accessible content with top-notch design values. Published twice a year, it is a compendium of the best work featured on itsnicethat.com, curated and designed by the editorial and creative team. For this issue, Printed Pages delves deep into the Bauhaus archives 100 years after the school opened its doors, with a little help from Pentagram partner Sascha Lobe, who designed both the cover and the poster. Inside, there's a report on what went down when they spent a week at Eike König's ''After School Club'', a trip to Nigeria with designer Lemi Ghariokwu, and a look at what must be the world's most heated bonfire rivalry.

Résumé:
''Worldline'' a été mise en oeuvre simultanément le 5 mars 1971, en donnant lieu à une ligne virtuelle mondiale dont les segments visibles étaient installés dans vingt-cinq institutions artistiques de l'Australie, du Brésil, du Canada, du Danemark, de la France, des États-Unis, de la Finlande, d'Islande, du Nigeria, du Sierra Leone, de la Yougoslavie, etc. La participation de ces institutions, chacune formant un des relais de la ligne mondiale, constituait l'oeuvre en soi. Cette réalisation d'une extrême complexité pour l'époque a nécessité la contribution d'un ingénieur qui, avec l'aide d'un ordinateur, a évalué l'orientation des lignes de manière à tenir compte de la rotondité de la Terre. Cette publication documente toutes les étapes de la réalisation de ce projet incluant la correspondance, les calculs géodésiques et les images des différents lieux participants.
