Résumé:
Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s (1868–1928) residential masterpiece, Hill House was designed and built for the publisher Walter Blackie between 1902 and 1904. Mackintosh and his wife Margaret created everything from the building itself to the furniture and textiles within. A prominent example of the Modern Style (British Art Nouveau), this iconic building was suffering prolonged decay from more than a century of weather damage. London-based architectural practice Carmody Groarke has built an innovative stainless steel chainmail mesh known as ''The Box,'' to temporarily encase Hill House. This structure is intended to halt the decay of Hill House while maintaining access for visitors and providing time for the restoration of this gem in Scotland’s architectural heritage.

Résumé:
Laurent Schlittler et Patrick Claudet puisent dans leur collection de quelque six mille vinyles pour nous faire découvrir de nouveaux territoires musicaux. De Caracas à Beyrouth en passant par Wichita, ils ont parcouru le monde à la recherche de disques de Mouna Box, La Jezira ou Johnny Staco, autant d’artistes confidentiels qui étoffent une obscure collection. Le choix exclusif du vinyle comme support et une diffusion quasi-inexistante rendent ces pépites introuvables, voir intraçables, puisqu’ils n’apparaissent pas sur le Net. Cette sélection d’albums, qui est aussi un exercice de style littéraire sur les codes musicaux actuels, offre une galerie de portraits dignes de se trouver dans l’ouvrage de Jorge Luis Borges, Pierre Ménard, auteur du Quichotte.

Résumé:
The Eberswalde Library has been compared to a Warhol painting. Designed in collaboration with artist Thomas Ruff, it carries the idea of a pictorial façade further than any other Herzog & de Meuron project. The building is a simple cube sheathed in glazing and cast-concrete panels, arranged in horizontal bands. Each band shows a single image, repeated sixty-six times, like a static film strip. The images are drawn from Ruff’s own archive of newspaper photographs, and encompass the decorative, the symbolic, and the politically charged. Combining elements which have long been deemed incompatible – minimalism and ornament, purity and baroque fullness, concrete box and pictorial façade, space and surface – Herzog & de Meuron’s new library challenges the conventions of modernism.

Manchester Boddy, the 160-acre lot was granted to the people of Los Angeles and includes one of the world's finest collections of camellias and oaks. Warren Marr is part of a long tradition of photographers who have responded creatively to the garden and its timeless appeal. His photographic explorations of what he refers to as a "natural light box" have been called "lyrical and luminous" by Getty Museum curator Anne Lyden. Marr's lush panoramic images combined with essays on the significance of the garden plants and history make Descanso an elegant volume for photography and garden lovers.

Résumé:
In a way, "Everything" picks up where "Architecture without content" left off. After thirty-three iterations of the big box and architecture of the perimeter, it was time to look elsewhere. These reports focus on European Architecture both in the city and the noncity. Embracing Alighiero Boetti's accumulation of every existing Form in his seminal Tutto tapestry works in the 1980s, we tried to be both omnivorous and precise in our approach towards every single form to be found on the landscape. This heterogeneous collection includes projects by Raphael, Nouvel, Bofill and Mendrisio Accademia di Architettura students alike. Ultimately, our aim is to accumulate cultural displays without prejudice, in the belief that the only way to safeguard culture, and by extension architecture, is simply by producing it.

Résumé:
Since the 1990s, a "cinematographic turn" has taken place in contemporary art, paralleled by the emergence of a "cinema of exhibition." This collection of new essays investigates the relationships between the "white cube" and the "black box," focusing mainly on the 1970s, a decade in which film practices and moving images were integrated into museums and art spaces. The authors analyze multiple modalities of presenting the moving image through historical case studies: the anatomy of video art, expanded cinema, artists’ films and installations, and the moving image in the public sphere. Exploring examples from the 1930s to the present, these contributions address commercial, spectacular or advertising forms of moving images, artists’ performative practices, installations in large museums, exhibitions devoted to projections and festivals of experimental films.

Résumé:
Joseph Cornell’s favorite pastimes was to meander through the used bookstalls of lower Manhattan, sorting through old books, magazines, postcards, photos, and other ephemera in search of items to spark his creative impulses. This publication is a facsimile of an almost unknown masterpiece by Joseph Cornell, presented in a box, along with a volume of essays and an interactive DVD. It was discovered in his basement studio soon after his death in 1972 and is now in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Due to its fragility, the work is not well known, even among Cornell scholars. Now, in a unique venture, sixty of the most extraordinary pages have been re-created in virtual facsimile, with cutouts, glue-ons, and other unique handmade details.
