Résumé:
Christopher Gray's tales of historic Gotham locales transport readers back in time for a stroll through the streets of old New York. The architectural historian, who writes the "Streetscapes" column in The New York Times, here gathers 190 of those columns. From the Bridge Cafe (New York's oldest surviving bar) on Water Street to the Revolutionary War-era Morris-Jumel Mansion in upper Manhattan, Gray turns the spotlight on both obscure and familiar landmarks, and each of his essays is illustrated with at least one period photograph.

Résumé:
"Monumento" (2022) is an installation by Edoardo Tresoldi, commissioned by Generali, promoter of the restoration of the building carried out by the David Chipperfield Architects studio. The installation is located in the space around which the monumental circular staircase of the Procuratie Vecchie ascends. Monumento uses the rhetorical language of the monumental column as a reflection both on our times and on the rhetoric surrounding those values to which our society aspires: a society that reiterates the need to redefine the concept of strength, reinterpreting the role of fragility and which proposes listening and dialogue as the fundamental points of intercultural relations.

Résumé:
Paper is a readily available and inexpensive sculptural media. Pliable, ephemeral and easily manipulated with simple tools, it is a medium with which the artist can form three-dimensional shapes quickly through precise folding and cutting. Artist Richard Sweeney leads you through the three stages of his process, from the initial conceptual stage (whether drawing on natural or architectural forms for inspiration), to the basic shapes (modular, in column, or dynamic), and finally to the folding techniques, curved folding, parallel pleating, faceted pleating and radiating pleating. The author also discusses tools and types of paper best suited for this art form.
