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.

Résumé:
What does the ideal capital look like? Photographer Nick Hannes traveled to six countries – Egypt, Korea, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Indonesia and Brazil – that have recently built a new capital or are in the process of doing so. Each and every one of them is a typical example of what Rem Koolhaas calls the Generic City: a planned city without historical layers, local identity, or its own character. As a visual sociologist with a sharp eye for detail, Hannes searches for the human dimension in a setting full of spectacular architecture and pompous prestige projects. "New Capital" is a critical reflection on unbridled neoliberal urban development and its social and ecological consequences, but is also peppered with subtle humor and surprising coincidences. Meandering between pride and sadness, "New Capital" shows how utopia and dystopia are sometimes surprisingly close.

Résumé:
''Citizens of photography'' explores how photography offers access to forms of citizenship beyond those available through ordinary politics. Through contemporary ethnographic investigations of photographic practice in Nicaragua, Nigeria, Greece, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Cambodia, the PhotoDemos Collective traces the resonances between political representation and photographic representation. The authors emphasize photography as lived practice and how photography’s performative, transformative, and transgressive possibilities facilitate the articulation of new identities. They analyze photography ranging from family albums and social media to state and public archives, showing how it points to new destinations in the context of social movements, the aftermath of atrocity and civil war, and the legacies of past injustices. By foregrounding photography’s open-ended and contingent nature and its ability to subvert and reconfigure conventional political identifications, this volume demonstrates that as much as photography looks to the past, it points to the future, acting in advance of social reality.

Résumé:
Un panorama des mutations des trente dernières années, depuis l’entrée de l’Inde dans la globalisation et la libéralisation de son économie. Aujourd’hui, plus de la moitié de la population mondiale vit en ville et le taux d’urbanisation atteindra 68% en 2050. Les pays émergents joueront un rôle majeur dans ce futur d’une urbanisation généralisée mais c’est l’Inde qui contribuera le plus à cette croissance, devant la Chine et le Nigeria. À cette date, le nombre d’habitants dans les villes indiennes sera de 800 millions, contre 377 millions en 2011, soit une fois et demie la population totale de l’Europe. Ces chiffres sont vertigineux et rendent nécessaire une appréhension fine de ce qu’est la transition urbaine de l’Inde. Trois grandes lignes de force structurent cet ouvrage : la nature du processus d’urbanisation, les effets de libéralisation économique sur les villes indiennes et la persistance de très fortes inégalités.

Résumé:
In November 2022, the first annual Alchemy Lecture took place at York University in Toronto, bringing four deep and agile writers from different geographies and disciplines into vibrant conversation on a topic of urgent relevance: humans and borders. Now, in these pages, that conversation is captured and expanded in insightful, passionate ways. Architect, artist, and urban theorist Dele Adeyemo (UK/Nigeria) calls attention to the complexity of Black infrastructures, questioning how “the environments that surround us condition the possibility of our being.” Poet Natalie Diaz (US/Mojave/Akimel O’otham) writes: “Like story, migration is the sensual movement of knowledge,” and asks, “What is the language we need to live right now?” Philosopher Nadia Yala Kisukidi (France) suggests there is no diasporic life “without the dynamics of fabulation, where we pass down, from generation to generation, the stories of our ancestors who walked barefoot for many months.” And cultural theorist Rinaldo Walcott (Canada) asks us to consider inheritances beyond white supremacist logics: “What might it mean to live a life, if we can’t risk desiring and working towards utopia?”

Résumé:
In this volume, Ayala Levin charts the settler colonial imagination and practices that undergirded Israeli architectural development aid in Africa. Focusing on the ''golden age'' of Israel’s diplomatic relations in and throughout the continent from 1958 to 1973, Levin finds that Israel positioned itself as a developing-nation alternative in the competition over aid and influence between global North and global South. In analyses of the design and construction of prestigious governmental projects in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Ethiopia, Levin details how architects, planners, and a trade union--owned construction company staged Israel as a new center of nonaligned expertise. These actors and professionals paradoxically capitalized on their settler colonial experience in Palestine, refashioning it as an alternative to Western colonial expertise. Levin traces how Israel became involved in the modernization of governance, education, and agriculture in Africa, as well as how African leaders chose to work with Israel to forge new South-South connections. In so doing, she offers new ways of understanding the role of architecture as a vehicle of postcolonial development and in the mobilization of development resources.
