Résumé:
This book presents the typographic experiments and experimental typography of visionary artist and designer Oded Ezer for the first time. A pioneer in the field, Ezer is one of the most influential designers today, who is reinventing the art of typography.Based in Tel Aviv, Ezer has an almost scientific approach to type design in which he explores the anatomy of letters and alphabets. His Hebrew and Latin characters and alphabets are influenced by calligraphy and integrate elements that are not typical for font design, such as ornamental and organic shapes that resemble creatures. The book introduces his type art and hybrid typo creatures, including projects from his Biotypography series.

Résumé:
Filling Up is the first of two themes presented here. The leftover spaces created by the continual development of the city are examined as vital, attractive voids to be integrated into the urban dynamic, though perhaps not always in terms of recreational functions. A text by Aldo Vanini introduces several projects, such as the Tel Aviv Port Public Space Regeneration and the Schinkel Islands Park in Amsterdam. The second theme, “Delimiting”, investigates a redefinition of the concept of the urban square in newly built towns and urban areas. With an essay by Diego Terna, the projects include Music Park in Seville and the Dover Esplanade, among several others.

Résumé:
Avec ses élèves Zvi Hecker et Eldar Sharon, Alfred Neumann (1900-1968) déploya une architecture polyédrique, notamment mise en œuvre à Tel Aviv pendant les années 60. À l'âge des structures « spatiales » et « tridimensionnelles », Neumann et ses amis se tournent vers la géométrie cristalline trouvée en nature. Partant de processus évoquant la biologie et la cristallographie, Neumann conçoit l'espace à travers des assemblages solides, une « grammaire de l'espace » donnant lieu à une « discipline topologique » qu'il enseignera jusqu'à sa mort à l'école d'architecture de l'Université de Laval, à Québec. Augmenté des présentations de Georges Teyssot et Samuel Bernier-Lavigne, le présent essai, dévoilé à Toronto en 1963, précède de peu la mise en chantier de l'Expo 67 à Montréal.

Résumé:
What is it that gives places their individual qualities and defines the life of a city? Architects and urbanists are accustomed to describing and creating the organizational structures, the layouts and physical attributes of our cities. But what are the relations between the design of a city—its form—and the life engendered by that form? Responding to this question is the inspiration for In the Life of Cities. Contributors from a wide range of fields address the role and life of cities as diverse as Baku, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Detroit, Jakarta, Johannesburg, Mumbai, Paris, Quito, St. Petersburg, Tel Aviv, Tirana, and Toronto. Portfolios of contemporary photography present the layered realities of urban life today.

Résumé:
Vito Acconci is well-known as a concept and performing artist who was far ahead of his time. In 2003, he realized one of his first architectural projects : for his artist-and-gallerist friend Kenny Schachter he designed the multifunctional gallery space conTEMPorary in New York. This experimental space became programmatic for their further collaboration, up to their latest project in King’s Cross, London. Over the past years, Vito Acconci has moved towards architecture. Today’s Acconci Studio covers planning for such diverse projects as the Skateboard Park in San Juan, the Inside-Out Bookstore for Documenta X, or an urban planning for Tel Aviv. Vito Acconci and Kenny Schachter met for two discussions in London and Basel in 2004 and 2005.

Résumé:
C'est en Italie, à la Renaissance, que se fixent les premières images du jardin européen : compositions géométriques, arbres taillés, parterres de fleurs, intégration au paysage. Cet héritage de Rome, sublimé par des dizaines de réalisations dans toutes les principautés d'Italie, donnera naissance aux jardins classiques de Provence, d'Espagne, de Grèce ou de Turquie. La colonisation entraîne la naissance de jardins de plantes acclimatées qui envahissnet rapidement la Côte d'Azur puis les rivieras italienne et espagnole. Le paysage en est radicalement bouleversé. L'époque contemporaine ne fait que prolonger ce mouvement de mélange, d'échanges d'idées et de formes, de métissage. Grenade, Florence, Rome, Nice, Tel-Aviv, Aix-en-Provence, Marrakech, Palerme, Tunis, Cordoue, Lisbonne, Monte-Carlo sont quelques-unes des étapes de cette aventure des jardins de la Méditerranée.

Résumé:
The recent works of the acclaimed Swiss architect are presented in this monograph on his world-renowned work and previously unpublished plans. Mario Botta's buildings are characterized by simple, geometric shapes that juxtapose lightness and weight. This richly illustrated monograph examines Botta's most recent examples on this theme, as seen in the Kyobo Tower in Seoul, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Jean Tinguely Museum in Basel, and the Cymbalista Synagogue in Tel Aviv. Hundreds of photographs, sketches, and plans illustrate the architect's desire to create structures that adhere to and complement their locations, and show how his choice of materials emphasizes craftsmanship and geometric order. Botta's finished buildings are examined alongside plans which never saw completion, demonstrating the extraordinary creative process of this modern visionary.

Résumé:
Biblical in origin, the Sukkah is a fascinating 1,500-year-old Jewish ritual of construction and habitation. Erected for only one week in the fall, its premise is paradoxical, as it encompasses issues of both diaspora and belonging. The construction guidelines are as follows: a Sukkah must have at least two-and-a-half walls and a thatched roof through which the stars are visible. Here, Mimi Levy Lipis' photographs record examples of contemporary Sukkah architecture from Europe, Israel and the U.S. These include a Sukkah on a truck parked in front of a restaurant in Manhattan; Sukkot on lonely parking lots in London; a Sukkah built for eternity in Berlin; criss-cross stacked booths in Jerusalem; and Sukkot made of the same fabric in London and Tel Aviv.
