Résumé:
For Kenya Hara, design begins with comprehension of the unknown. In contrast to "information," "exformation" describes how little we really know and thus becomes the starting point for any type of design. Based on a range of projects the book describes what "exformation" can look like in design practice and how this concept alters our classic understanding of(...)

For Kenya Hara, design begins with comprehension of the unknown. In contrast to "information," "exformation" describes how little we really know and thus becomes the starting point for any type of design. Based on a range of projects the book describes what "exformation" can look like in design practice and how this concept alters our classic understanding of information design. Following the path embarked on in Designing Design (2007) and its successor, White (2010), Ex-formation continues to explore the void, absence, and indeterminacy in contemporary design.

Résumé:
"When I was thirty, the first generation of architects that one looked upon to was L Corbusier; the second was jean Prouvé and Josép-Luis Sert; next were George Candilis, Shadrach Woods, and Alexis Josic. These were the people you were talking about, and the connection between them were observable. Even though between these generations there wasn't any copying in a stylistic sense, there was a kind of moral overlap. That's the curiosity. There's not a hint stylistically in their work but there is a moral position." -Peter Smithson

Résumé:
In this rapidly globalizing world, any investigation of architecture inevitably leads to considerations of regionalism. But despite its omnipresence in contemporary practice and theory, architectural regionalism remains a fluid concept, its historical development and current influence largely undocumented. This comprehensive reader brings together over 40 key essays illustrating the full range of ideas embodied by the term. Authored by important critics, historians, and architects such as Kenneth Frampton, Lewis Mumford, Sigfried Giedion, and Alan Colquhoun, Architectural Regionalism represents the history of regionalist thinking in architecture from the early twentieth century to today.

Most architectural standards references contain thousands of pages of details— overwhelmingly more than architects need to know to know on any given day. Now there is a place where architects can find vital information essential to planning and executing architectural projects of all shapes and sizes—in a format that is small enough to carry anywhere. "Materials, structures, and standards" distills the data provided in standard architectural volumes and offers and easy-to-use reference for the most indispensable—and most requested—types of architectural information. With 350 images.

Résumé:
The book promotes an interdisciplinary research approach operating in a field between architecture, easthetics, philosophy and urban ecology. The book propagates a break with the environmental requirements in construction have a tendency to derail any trace of architectonic quality. "Ecological reflections in architecture" inverts this perspective, since the environmental ways of presenting the problem are regarded from an architectonic point of view; the book takes its point of view of departure in architecture. Based on a doctoral thesis and on an investigative work at Danish Building Research Institute.

Résumé:
In the domain of visual images, those of fine art form a tiny minority. This book calls upon art historians to look beyond their traditional subjects--painting, drawing, photography, and printmaking--to the vast array of "nonart" images, including those from science, technology, commerce, medicine, music, and archaeology. Such images, James Elkins asserts, can be as rich(...)

Résumé:
In the domain of visual images, those of fine art form a tiny minority. This book calls upon art historians to look beyond their traditional subjects--painting, drawing, photography, and printmaking--to the vast array of "nonart" images, including those from science, technology, commerce, medicine, music, and archaeology. Such images, James Elkins asserts, can be as rich and expressive as any canonical painting. Using scores of illustrations as examples, he proposes a radically new way of thinking about visual analysis, one that relies on an object's own internal sense of organization.

Résumé:
In this highly illustrated monograph, Gurjit Matharoo, a proponent of free thinking, of openness, and inventiveness, touches on the reasons for which his work in India is important in the context of contemporary architecture, underlining how he knows far fewer boundaries than almost any accepted norm. Stretching across nearly three decades of practice, the projects are beautifully presented, with incisive commentary, illustrations, watercolors, plans, and full-colour photography throughout. Significant projects include public and educational institutions, hospitals, commercial and retail buildings, single- and joint-family residences, apartments, religious and spiritual centers, and biennale installations.

Résumé:
Each of us has an ever-growing collection of personal digital data: documents, photographs, PowerPoint presentations, videos, music, emails and texts sent and received. To access any of this, we have to find it. The ease (or difficulty) of finding something depends on how we organize our digital stuff. In this book, personal information management (PIM) experts Ofer Bergman and Steve Whittaker explain why we organize our personal digital data the way we do and how the design of new PIM systems can help us manage our collections more efficiently.
