Résumé:
De l'abdomen aux zygomatiques, Katy Couprie nous propose une exploration sans limite du corps humain. Ses textes, des définitions à la fois drôles et poétiques, parfois totalement farfelues, sont accompagnés de véritables définitions anatomiques et d'un exceptionnel travail de gravure pour une approche totalement inédite des organes, du système nerveux, des muscles, des artères, mais aussi du rire, de l'adrénaline, du baiser ou du bourrelet...! L'illustratrice-plasticienne a multiplié les techniques - gravures anciennes détournées, dessins au trait, photographies tramées, etc. - pour explorer les diverses facettes du corps et au-delà, de tout ce qui fait de nous des humains. Avec ses niveaux de lecture multiples, cet ouvrage conséquent, magnifique livre d'art construit à la manière d'une encyclopédie décalée et inattendue, devrait vite devenir un indispensable !

Résumé:
This publication offers a definitive, career-spanning exploration of Polish sculptor Monika Sosnowska (born 1972), known for manipulating ordinary forms and spaces into fascinating and often disorienting new configurations. Freed from their original functionality, her architectonic works and environments evoke a moment when, as she puts it, "architectural space begins to take on the characteristics of mental space." Optical illusions, shifts in scale, mazes, and other such techniques that challenge the intellect of the viewer are motifs throughout her oeuvre. Published for an exhibition at the Aspen Art Museum, this volume documents a decade's worth of Sosnowska's objects, installations and exhibitions and features new scholarship by Maria Gough, Adam Szymczyk and Heidi Zuckerman Jacobson. It is the most comprehensive book on the artist in English to date.

Résumé:
Swiss architects and researchers Géraldine Borio and Caroline Wüthrich have been living and working in Hong Kong since 2010, when they established their architectural firm, Parallel Lab, there. Since then, they’ve been fascinated by the micro-level of urban life in Hong Kong, and it’s led to a major project: the pair investigated the ways the city’s residents use the narrow lanes that run behind and between the city’s high-rises, semi-public spaces that offer venues for business, social interaction, and a wide range of informal encounters. Hong Kong in Between presents the results of this exploration through a mix of black-and-white drawings, diagrams, plans, photographs, and texts that reveal the active, ever-changing life of these forgotten, in-between spaces.

Résumé:
"Hospital Builders" offers a comprehensive appraisal of 32 case studies covering significant healthcare projects in Britain and around the world. Each is thoroughly analysed with a critical description, plans, illustrations and photographs to provide creative information that is of assistance to architects, contractors and managers and all those involved in the procurement and subsequent occupation of the facilities. The ideas and examples are amplified through an exploration of the historical achievements, present circumstances and potential future direction of our modern progressive health service. Current practitioners contribute from first-hand experience and anticipate the implications of private finance initiatives and competitive healthcare partnerships. A central theme throughout the book is the abiding importance of high-quality hospital architecture and the therapeutic benefits to be gained by friendly, human healthcare environments.

Résumé:
"Small Strawbale" is a meditative exploration of the innumerable reasons to consider strawbale as a viable building material. Environmentally friendly, super insulative, economical, and natural, strawbale can be used to build everything from garden walls to small homes. "Small Strawbale" tells the stories of people who have successfully created structures out of this easily replenishable building material, reminding us that our human roots are ultimately grounded and dependent upon the earth and its bounties. This practical guide is filled with rich photos of homes, greenhouses, studios, sheds, open-air structures and more, each pulsating with unique yet subtle creativity. Both a pragmatic construction manual and a philosophical, artistic guidebook, "Small Strawbale" is an inspirational starting point for a strawbale dreamer, and a great source of information for those who are ready to get bailing.

Résumé:
"Do glaciers listen?" explores the conflicting depictions of glaciers to show how natural and cultural histories are objectively entangled in the Mount Saint Elias ranges. This rugged area, where Alaska, British Columbia, and the Yukon Territory now meet, underwent significant geophysical change in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, which coincided with dramatic social upheaval resulting from European exploration and increased travel and trade among Aboriginal peoples. Focusing on these contrasting views during the late stages of the Little Ice Age (1550-1900), Cruikshank demonstrates how local knowledge is produced, rather than discovered, through colonial encounters, and how it often conjoins social and biophysical processes. She then traces how the divergent views weave through contemporary debates about cultural meanings as well as current discussions about protected areas, parks, and the new World Heritage site.

Résumé:
Built in 1976 as an early exploration in weaving together the sun, wind, biology and architecture for the benefit of humanity, the Ark bio-shelter integrated ecological design features to provide autonomous life support for a family. Published to accompany the exhibition celebrating the Ark?s 40th anniversary, this publication examines the project?s role in inspiring change in ecological and architectural expectations and appetites. The three years in the life of the Ark forms the core for a set of explorations into early green architecture in Canada and elsewhere; the intermediate/alternative technology movement; collaborations between youth counterculture and official culture; the public and professional reception; and the Ark legacy in architecture, alternative technology, government policy and actions, and public imagination.

Résumé:
Reconstruit sous le règne de Ptolémée XII (80-51 av. J.-C.), le temple principal de Dendara, dédié à la déesse Hathor, contient une tradition architecturale développée durant près de 3000 ans. Avec un état de conservation exceptionnel, il est le dernier grand monument religieux de la culture pharaonique construit et encore préservé. Par ce fait, il constitue un sujet d'étude idéal afin de pénétrer les mécanismes de la conception d'une civilisation sans lien direct avec notre société actuelle, mais il nous engage également vers une exploration et une réflexion sur les théories et les méthodes impliquées, en général, dans le processus de bâtir. Son analyse montre que les compétences des architectes des Pharaons avaient atteint un extraordinaire niveau d'œuvre d'absolu, jouant sur l'abstraction et optimisant la technique.

Résumé:
This catalogue was published on the occasion of the exhibition All-Inclusive. A Tourist World Schrirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt 30 january- 04 may 2008 This entertaining and often hilarious exhibition catalog from Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt is a thought-provoking exploration of our global society through the tourist experience. The curators see tourism as something that perpetuates clichés about cultural and national identity; real landscapes blur into artificial geographies like ski resort-themed water parks, indoor beaches with synthetic sun lamps, or aircraft carriers equipped with roller coasters and volcanoes. More than 30 artists create photography, multimedia installations, sculpture and prose travelogues that veer between the authentic and the absurd, attempting to answer the question: how should tourists interact with the bogus world of tourism, and what should they learn?

Résumé:
With "Bloom", Thomas Flechtner continues to go his own way as an artist. In his internationally acclaimed debut publication "Snow", he took viewers by surprise with a compelling visual metaphysics of snow as the exploration of a psychological state. After exhibitions in London, New York, Bilbao, and Tokyo, Flechtner is now free to pursue a new passion, the unbridled color and movement of organic nature, which he examines with lyrical lightness and tremendous precision in these densely atmospheric studies of plants. As a photographer, Flechtner goes in search of the essence of nature, abandoning the ostensible safety of distance and allowing proximity and for the first time also movement. In "Bloom", the viewer is invited to take in a feast of light and color and to enter a space beyond nature’s supposed laws.
