Résumé:
The positive effects of urban green spaces are well-known, ranging from the promotion of health, support of biodiversity to climate regulation. However, the practical implementation of urban landscapes is less discussed. How can we make these spaces functional, economically feasible and inclusive, especially as cities become more diverse? The publication explores strategies to reconcile the various demands, such as food production, resilience and nature conservation. Indeed, urban landscapes have to be restorative, ecological and aesthetically pleasing at the same time. This is a particular challenge in high-density cities like Singapore, Seoul or New York where space is a scarce commodity. The continuing growth of the worldwide urban population imbues the topic with a special urgency.

Designing gardens, parks and landscapes requires a holistic approach. It also requires extensive specialist knowledge. In courses and manuals the generalist or in-depth levels are frequently under-represented, or the attempted comprehensive view becomes too complex.

Résumé:
Designing gardens, parks and landscapes requires a holistic approach. It also requires extensive specialist knowledge. In courses and manuals the generalist or in-depth levels are frequently under-represented, or the attempted comprehensive view becomes too complex. "Landscape for Architects" now offers a fundamental reference work which is as comprehensive as it is practical and as holistic as it is detailed. Created in cooperation with the Architecture Department of Braunschweig Technical University, Landscape for Architects addresses the aspects of landscape architecture: "questions" are raised with abstract schematic drawings, and possible 'answers' are illustrated with analytical drawings of case studies from the 20th and 21st centuries in order to inspire the reader's own creativity and to support the design process.

In this uncompromising essay, Jonathan Crary presents the obvious but unsayable reality: our ''digital age'' is synonymous with the disastrous terminal stage of global capitalism and its financialisation of social existence, mass impoverishment, ecocide, and military terror.

Résumé:
In this uncompromising essay, Jonathan Crary presents the obvious but unsayable reality: our ''digital age'' is synonymous with the disastrous terminal stage of global capitalism and its financialisation of social existence, mass impoverishment, ecocide, and military terror. ''Scorched earth'' surveys the wrecking of a living world by the internet complex and its devastation of communities and their capacities for mutual support. This polemic by the author of 24/7 dismantles the presumption that social media could be an instrument of radical change and contends that the networks and platforms of transnational corporations are intrinsically incompatible with a habitable earth or with the human interdependence needed to build egalitarian post-capitalist forms of life.

Résumé:
Charles Wilson Brega James (1906 - 78) was one of the most celebrated and sought-after couturiers of his day, and won ecstatic praise for his highly innovative designs. Without formal training, he created some of the most ambitious, dramatic couture of the twentieth century and, with the breathless support of the UK and American press, came to be the designer of choice for powerful clients including Marlene Dietrich and socialite Austine Hearst. In this book, the first in a new series examining the working methods and dressmaking practices of great designers, James's reputation is re-examined and his most breathtaking designs are analyzed in exacting detail - from magnificent eveningwear to chic accessories.

Résumé:
Laurent Schlittler et Patrick Claudet puisent dans leur collection de quelque six mille vinyles pour nous faire découvrir de nouveaux territoires musicaux. De Caracas à Beyrouth en passant par Wichita, ils ont parcouru le monde à la recherche de disques de Mouna Box, La Jezira ou Johnny Staco, autant d’artistes confidentiels qui étoffent une obscure collection. Le choix exclusif du vinyle comme support et une diffusion quasi-inexistante rendent ces pépites introuvables, voir intraçables, puisqu’ils n’apparaissent pas sur le Net. Cette sélection d’albums, qui est aussi un exercice de style littéraire sur les codes musicaux actuels, offre une galerie de portraits dignes de se trouver dans l’ouvrage de Jorge Luis Borges, Pierre Ménard, auteur du Quichotte.
