Résumé:
ROAM is an unconventional academic reader, looking at 'the Aesthetics of Mobility'. Under five themes - narrative, representation, glocalisation, telematics, velocity - ideas around what it is to 'roam' are explored, from theoritical texts to magazine style snippets of information. Against an architectural understanding of urban spaces and mobility. ROAM also engages with discourses from art, cultural studies, design and politics. In line with its unconventional approach, the texts in ROAM are designed to be read at different speeds, so that design projects are interspliced amongst essays and soundbites, provoking the reader with new views about our increasingly mobilised society.

Résumé:
Between 1999 and 2001, small old-fashioned landscapes painstakingly painted in oil started appearing on graffiti sites in New York City. The paintings were the work of artist Ellen Harvey. Documented here are both the works and Harvey's diary-like experiences of painting illegally throughout the city. The narrative of her "beautification project" is both provocative and hilarious. It touches on serious issues, such as who is allowed to make art in our society and what distinguishes art from graffiti, while never losing touch with the frequently comical reality of creating a contemporary art project on the streets of New York.

Résumé:
Based in Kraków, BudCud operates within the fields of architecture and urbanism. Currently led by Mateusz Adamczyk and Agata Wozniczka, the office produces work that is contextually conscious and heavily influenced by the project environment, both physical and cultural, yet also has a playful, experimental approach rooted in an understanding of social interactions and habitable landscapes. This monograph presents more than 20 projects developed since BudCud’s inception in 2007, together with comic diagrams and an essay by Lukasz Wojciechowski. From urban districts and parks to interiors and street furniture, the penchant for a strong narrative persists.

Résumé:
Batia Suter's work intuitively situates found images in new contexts to provoke surprising reactions and significative possibilities. This volume follows on from the first Parallel Encyclopedia, published in 2007. Underlying themes of Suter's practice are the "iconification" and "immunogenicity" of old images, and the circumstances by which they become charged with new associative values. "In my work, I collect groups of images based on various themes and characteristics, and I investigate how they can manipulate each other, depending on where and how they are placed. In the process of making this book, narrative lines unfolded before my eyes as I shifted images around."

Résumé:
This monograph of French illustrator and cartoonist Jochen Gerner follows a research and thought process concerning the connections between text and image, typography and line, and includes numerous examples of his work. In his drawing practice, Gerner creates visual narrative projects, such as illustrated books and experimental comics, as well as drawings for the world of publishing and print media. Since the early 2000s, he has investigated printed images through graphic means: a hijacking process using ink and paint that allows a method of reframing or erasing. The book includes texts by Christophe Gallois and an interview with Gerner by Tom McCarthy.

Résumé:
'Abitata pietra' (lived-in stone) is a publishing project by Antonio Cammareri, Stefania D’Amato, and Luogo Comune. It is an intense investigation, a graphic and geographical visual narration, a landscape of signs, a collection of illustrations that analyse particular and global elements, fragments and entities, in an attempt to define the rupestrian landscape that connects the italian territories of Matera, Montescaglioso, and many other towns and 'inhabited topographies' all over the world. The book is the result of site specific research and narrative experimentation carried out collectively by the artists and includes five photographic contributions on rupestrian civilisation.

Résumé:
As his firm’s most culturally significant buildings have been recently nominated for UNESCO World Heritage status, A+U features the humane, modern architecture of Alvar Aalto. The Finnish architect’s canon would join that of France’s Le Corbusier and the American Frank Lloyd Wright. His distinctive use of spatial vibrancy, the interaction between his works and the surrounding landscape, and the balance between materials and details — as the issue title suggests — are presented in photographs and narrative descriptions of 12 villas. This compilation is by Finnish architect and art historian Sirkkaliisa Jetsonen and architectural photographer Jari Jetsonen.

Résumé:
‘GRAM’ is a multiple research tool that combines graphic investigations with architectural explorations, where the publication is just a pretence and only the process matters. Its second edition portrays the methods and processes of six different practices – homu, Office U67, GAFPA, Ted’A, Gartnerfuglen, Motoproprio – through a series of emails. Each architecture office was asked to send a picture and a short description of its background, working process, philosophy, and so on. The narrative that resulted became the material for this publication. Its outcomes are both theoretical and practical, and open the doors to the endless thought processes behind the production of space.

Résumé:
This book arose from two observations: that building design in these first decades of the 21st century has come to accept and pursue some increasingly odd and disturbing trends; and that there seems to be insufficient architectural criticism that calls these trends to account. Its mission is to take up that neglected role with respect to some specific exemplars of these trends, with subjects coming primarily from the worlds of commercial and institutional architecture. The book takes a somewhat acerbic tone, to distance the narrative from the rather serious and high-minded approach to written material that the subject seems prey to.
