Résumé:
The last decade was largely defined by consumption and greed. An untold story, however, is the rise in benevolent giving seen in institutional, public and private sectors. Such characteristics as altruism and duty are now as influential as self-interest. The geography of aid has also broadened; networks of NGOs now supplement philanthropy and the global operations of official channels. It has become a crucial counterpart of authorized programs; agencies that provide vital services rely on contributions to augment official doctrines. Yet, the current recession threatens to limit support, diminishing aid at this critical moment when distress is increasing. A new culture of giving that includes volunteering and action, coupled with accumulated expertise may enable imminent needs to be met. The Gift Economy presents aid's history as an index of past and current relationships, indicating how its future promises a significant global role.

Résumé:
"Two minds" is a major volume exploring and critiquing the subject of collaboration between artists and architects. Interest and activity in this field is growing rapidly, making this book a timely consideration of an important phenomenon. The book documents 18 projects funded through the RSA Art for Architecture scheme and focuses on work by internationally renowned figures such as Mark Dion, Chris Ofili, David Adjaye and Herzog & de Meuron, alongside that of emerging practitioners. As well as containing in depth case studies, "Two minds" features commissioned essays by Philip Ursprung and Cara Mullio which explore key issues surrounding collaborative practice. A range of topics are discussed, including the high level of support for art and architecture schemes in German speaking areas of Europe, the recent move of many so-called ‘gallery’ artists into the public domain and new ways of working that are opened up through collaboration.

Résumé:
Built environment surrounds us for 90% of our lives but only now are we realising its influence on the environment, our health, and how we think, feel and behave both individually and socially. "Spirit & place" shows how to work towards a sustainable environment through socially inclusive processes of placemaking, and how to create places that are nourishing psychologically and physically, to soul and spirit as well as body. This book's arguments identify important, but often unrecognised, principles and illustrate their applicability in a wide range of situations, price-ranges and climates. It shows how to reconcile the apparently incompatible demands of environmental, economic and social sustainability; how to moderate climate to make places of delight, and realign social pressures so places both support society and maximise economic viability. Thought provoking and easy to understand, Christopher Day uses everyday examples to relate his theories to practice and our experience.

Résumé:
The book focuses on ways to reinvent public housing in New York City through a series of design projects from Yale School of Architecture that integrate form and provide social programs for the residents. The students investigated the relationship between housing, equity, health, and community. The students developed comprehensive frameworks for the Washington Houses, three connected superblocks equivalent to seven New York City blocks. The concepts focused on restitching the project into the city street grid and sought ways to add new built fabric that would allow the Modernist towers- in-the park project to connect with public streets. Some found ways to keep the superblock with interventions to support the community at different scales and family structures. Urban farms and community facilities as well as recreation spaces were included in order to have a range of interventions for care, health, and equity that could reorient public housing.

Résumé:
In "Notes on the minor character" Bopha Chhay meditates on "the minor" - those secondary characters or objects that populate the background and seemingly only serve to support or surround the area of focus. Through a series of fragments we encounter the minor characters from paintings and novels; the minor anecdotes appended to the overarching ideology of state-hood; and the minor details, usually overlooked, that can become a great revealer of falsehood. Ranging from Bruegel The Elder to Jane Eyre, Y-Dang Troeung to Dostoevsky, we see 'the minor' played out in multiple ways out of the corner of our eye. Here Chhay proposes 'the minor' to be that which quietly disrupts the main narrative, and as we re-orient our focus to the outskirts we are given the opportunity to think through a different set of stories: the fan fictions, the non-player characters, and the un-heroic gestures.

Résumé:
Raphaëlle Peria utilise la photographie comme support pour mener un travail de l’ordre du dessin. Depuis quelques années, elle développe une technique de grattage dont elle se sert pour faire apparaître de nouvelles formes et révéler les éléments de la photographie qui sont les plus évocateurs du sujet qu’elle approche. Les paysages, les éléments naturels et les écosystèmes sont au cœur de sa démarche artistique et sont des points de départ de voyage au cours desquels elle effectue ses prises de vue. En sélectionnant des fragments de l’image, ceux gardés tels quels, elle crée des changements d’échelle et joue de textures différentes, d’une matérialité photographique devenue un style qui lui est propre, textures qu’elle produit par sa technique affinée au fil du temps. Ces jeux de métamorphoses font surgir de nouveaux mondes. Ses œuvres composent ici un milieu à la fois fragile et fascinant.
