This book is the story of those spacesuits. It is a story of the Playtex Corporation's triumph over the military-industrial complex--a victory of elegant softness over engineered hardness, of adaptation over cybernetics.

Résumé:
We know that the vast majority of the Earth's surface is water. Unfortunately, 97.3% is salty, and only 2.7% is sweet. Of the latter, only a small fraction is available for domestic, agricultural, or industrial consumption, since the rest is in glaciers or underground layers that are too deep. An even smaller fraction is safe and drinkable. This text concentrates on fresh(...)

An even smaller fraction is safe and drinkable. This text concentrates on fresh water, making brief allusions to the salty water of seas and oceans, because it is indispensable for life.

In this book, Syed Ali delves beneath the dazzling surface to analyze how—and at what cost—Dubai has achieved such success. Ali brings alive a society rigidly divided between expatriate Westerners living self-indulgent lifestyles on short-term work visas, native Emiratis who are largely passive observers and beneficiaries of what Dubai has become, and workers from the developing world who provide the manual labor and domestic service needed to keep the emirate running, often at great personal cost.

Résumé:
Cities, estates and routing systems develop, change constantly and fundamentally cannot be planned. Claims to ownership, land and building regulations, planning decisions and political interventions make it difficult for settlement structures to adapt to constantly changing requirements to such an extent that meaningful and totally ecological use of the surface of the earth is becoming increasingly difficult, although new techniques and flexible planning models mean that a connection could be found with the self-designing processes of urban-development history.

Résumé:
'Silence' explores contemporary urban emotions like loneliness and anonymity. The book evolves in a constant dialogue between private and public situations. José Pedro Cortes’s work in this book deals with the struggle of accessing human presence in the contemporary city – a silent and layered presence hidden behind the surface of things or people; that always seems distant to the viewer. These ideas of blockade and intimacy are played together in a book structure that borrows ideas from film or literature.

36 recyclab a appris à lire et aimer "l 'urbanité " par la pratique du skate. Puis s'est passionné pour les mathématiques, pour finalement choisir le design et l'architecture comme profession. S'initiant au graffiti dès les années 2000, l'affichiste traduit un peu de chacun de ces univers dans la rue. Il investit la ville par la technique du collage, avec des affiches en grand format qui lui permettent de faire émerger de la surface murale des machines improbables, des structures conceptuelles, des architectures mécaniques.
