Résumé:
‘Food’ is an exploration of the architectural issues associated with storing, distribution, consumption, and disposal of food and raw materials, stimulating debate with respect to our contemporary situation of crowded cities and overpopulation. With more than 50 works by various artists and architects, the exhibition at MAXXI tackles the global political, social, urban, and economic effects of food on communities and regions. Divided into six sections – body, house, street, city, landscape, world – it ranges from the individual to the planetary dimension in its examination and questioning of the major geopolitical issues and networks for the production and distribution of food.

Résumé:
Counter Space examines the twentieth-century transformation of the kitchen through the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, featuring a wide variety of design objects, architectural plans, posters, archival photographs and artworks--ranging from the iconic Frankfurt Kitchen, mass-produced for German public housing estates in the aftermath of World War I, to an electric tea kettle, heat-resistant glass wares, and colorful plastics, such as Tupperware and Japanese artificial food. With an introductory essay by Juliet Kinchin, Curator in MoMA's Department of Architecture and Design, this volume is a lively exploration of the kitchen as a barometer of changing technology, aesthetics, and ideologies.

Résumé:
A spider spinning its web in a dark corner. Wasps building a nest under a roof. There’s hardly any part of the built environment that can’t be inhabited by nonhumans, and yet we are extremely selective about which animals we keep in or out. This book imagines new ways of thinking about architecture and the more-than-human and asks how we might design with animals and the other lives that share our spaces in mind. This volume is a provocative exploration of how to think about building in a world where humans and other animals are already entangled, whether we acknowledge it or not.

Résumé:
The desert is a huge paradox. Beneath its outward appearance of immensity and silence, are the sounds of various experiments, mysteries, and utopias. The setting of outrageous true histories, entertainment oases founded on consumerism and play, and the secret staging of military power, the desert is far from empty. Instead, it is full of activity: unexpected, uninhibited, and excessive. Not subject to barriers and seemingly free of the formal, ideological or cultural ties of global society, the desert cultivates alternate architectures, urbanisms, and built phenomena. Through photographs, essays, and history, this book emerges as an exploration of some of these phenomena and the protagonists that made them possible.

Résumé:
The great Russian modernist painter and theorist Wassily Kandinsky was one of the pioneers of abstraction in Western art. Few documents provide more insight into his evolution from figural to abstract art—or into the development of abstraction in the early twentieth century—than the pages of his sketchbooks. Featuring previously unpublished drawings, "Wassily Kandinsky: The sketchbooks" is a comprehensive selection of hundreds of sketches from twelve notebooks Kandinsky kept between 1889 and 1935. Beginning with early figure studies, architectural sketches, and landscapes, the notebooks reveal a process of exploration that would lead Kandinsky from his first experiments in geometric abstraction to paintings that reshaped modernism.

Résumé:
Antoni Gaudi's unique naturalistic style has made him one of the most famous architects of all time. But even with that high level of reknown, the impulse behind the Catalan architect/artist s well-known works remains shrouded in mystery. Eminent Dutch architectural historian Jan Molema lifts that veil through an exploration of Gaudi's transformation from architect to self-willed artist. By shedding light on Gaudi's artistic influences such as Art Nouveau, his pioneering use of organic shapes and materials, as well as his all-important structural ingenuity, we come to understand not only what made Gaudi so revolutionary but also what his many buildings mean symbolically.
