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.

"I Am Almost Always Hungry" is the first monograph on the work of Cahan & Associates, a San Francisco based design agency.

Résumé:
In this fanciful volume, Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, founder of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (O.M.A.), both analyzes and celebrates New York City. By suggesting the city as the site for an infinite variety of human activities and events--both real and imagined--the essence of the metropolitan lifestyle, its "culture of congestion" and its architecture are revealed in a brilliant new light. "Manhattan," Koolhaas writes, "is the 20th century's Rosetta stone . . . occupied by architectural mutations (Central Park, the Skyscraper), utopian fragments (Rockefeller Center, the U.N. Building), and irrational phenomena (Radio City Music Hall)." Filled with fascinating facts, as well as photographs, postcards, maps, watercolors, and drawings, the vibrancy of Koolhaas's poignant exploration of Gotham equals the heady, frenetic energy of the city itself. Revised and redesigned edition of this classic.

Résumé:
The heyday of the national A-frame craze saw tens of thousands of these easy and affordable structures built as vacation homes, roadside restaurants, churches, and even pet stores. A-frame chronicles America's love affair with the A-frame, from postwar getaway to its recent revival among designers and DIYers. In a fascinating look at this architectural phenomenon, Chad Randl tells the story of the triangle house, from prehistoric Japan to its lifestyle-changing prime in the 1960s as a symbol of play, leisure, and outdoor living. Part architectural history and part cultural exploration, the book documents every aspect of A-frame living with cartoons, ads, high-style and do-it-yourself examples, family snapshots, and an appendix with a complete set of blueprints in case you want to build your own.

Résumé:
Since the dawn of time, people have been fascinated by the idea of traveling to the stars, which is vividly illustrated by utopian and dystopian works of architecture, the visual arts, and cinematography. This book presents the results of in-depth research and extensive travels through a total of seven countries. Its prime focus is the impact of space exploration on everyday life in its pioneering age between the late 1950s and the 1980s and the persistence of related concepts and utopian ideas in today's society. Told as a visual story, it combines artistic and documentary photography, portraits of contemporary witnesses, landscape snapshots, and historical documents. It is in part an historical investigation since many of the pioneers of the space age are no longer alive and many of the formerly ubiquitous items have disappeared.

Résumé:
For twenty years, James Rojas and John Kamp have been looking to art, creative expression, and storytelling to shake up the classic community meeting. In this book, they share their insights into building common ground and inviting active participation among diverse groups. Their approach, “Place It!,” draws on three methods: the interactive model-building workshop, the pop-up, and site exploration using our senses. Using our hands to build and create is central to what makes us human, helping spark ideas without relying on words to communicate. Deceptively playful, this method is remarkably effective at teasing out community dreams and desires from hands-on activities. The book offers wisdom distilled from workshops held around the world, and a deep dive into the transformational approach and results from the South Colton community in southern California.

Cette publication est une trilogie, inspire´e du re´cit de voyage de Pier Paolo Pasolini, « La longue route de sable », cette route longeant le littoral italien qu’il parcourut au volant de sa Millecento, durant l’e´te´ 1959. Cet e´crit peu connu rece`le de´ja` toute la poe´sie de Pasolini, ses remarques authentiques, incisives parfois, sur l’e´tat de son pays, son amour pour celui-ci... Chantal Vey a repris cet itine´raire, seule au volant de sa camionnette, revisitant les lieux qu’il de´crivait, soixante ans auparavant. Cette exploration du territoire italien a amene´ Vey a` parcourir des milliers de kilome`tres, a` collecter des photographies, des vide´o- graphies, des sons, des mots... Comme pour Pasolini, cette que^te a une valeur poe´tique, bien plus qu’un te´moignage documentaire.
