AUDC's first book captures three moments in modern culture that offer glimpses into our increasingly perverse relationship to architecture, cities, and objects. “Ether” explores the Los Angeles telecom hotel, One Wilshire; a 39 story building of utter banality and complete mystery. “The Stimulus Progression” examines the strange story of the Muzak Corporation and the invention of a culture of horizontality. “Quartzsite, Arizona” visits a desert town of 3,000 people that swells to over 1 million residents every summer when modern nomads in Recreational Vehicles descend upon in it in hordes. This book is a lively mix of philosophy, photography, architectural drawings and models, and new media.

Résumé:
Water lies at the intersection of landscape and infrastructure, crossing between visible and invisible domains of urban space, in the tanks and buckets of the global South and the vast subterranean technological networks of the global North. In this book, Matthew Gandy considers the cultural and material significance of water through the experiences of six cities: Paris, Berlin, Lagos, Mumbai, Los Angeles, and London. Tracing the evolving relationships among modernity, nature, and the urban imagination, from different vantage points and through different periods, Gandy uses water as a lens through which to observe both the ambiguities and the limits of nature as conventionally understood.

Résumé:
Photographer Mike Slack lives and works in Los Angeles, and the images in this book were primarily made in the American south-west. They are concise and direct, yet driven by an emotional ambivalence that hovers between stark environmental dread and calm intimate reverie. Slack surveys an overheated terrestrial ecosystem, offering a luminous topography of monumental details and mundane vistas. Transcendental in mood, his vaguely sci-fi photographs envision a sun-blasted wilderness of synthetic and organic stuff, flourishing and disintegrating on its own terms, as if engaged in an ageless negotiation just beyond our grasp. Where does nature end and its opposite begin?

Pour autant, ces « icônes » semblent ne plus pouvoir véritablement servir de modèles : les rêves d’architecture sont désormais entravés par des réglementations de plus en plus pointues en matière de protection incendie, de physique du bâtiment et d’énergie. Ce livre analyse les conditions dans lesquelles l’emploi de l’acier peut apporter une valeur ajoutée à la construction immobilière. Outre les trois exemples emblématiques mentionnés, neuf ouvrages métalliques contemporains, réalisés par des bureaux suisses et internationaux, sont présentés ici avec de nombreux plans et photographies.

Résumé:
Located in the Pacific Palisades, the Kappe Residence was designed and built in 1965–67 by American architect and educator Ray Kappe. As Takashi Yanai writes in his essay, Kappe is ''a quiet giant within the local architectural community''. The house he designed for himself and his family follows a long tradition of forward-thinking residences that celebrate the temperate climate and inventive spirit of Los Angeles. Yoshio Futagawa's photographs reflect its perfect example of how a house can be so grounded in place, yet poetic in its spaces and materiality. The challenging site, with its underground springs and steep slope, speaks to Kappe's genius. With an interview by Thom Mayne.

Résumé:
Davis focuses on the great drama of how Latinos are attempting to translate their urban demographic ascendancy into effective social power. Pundits are now unanimous that Spanish-surname voters are the sleeping giant of US politics. Though the overall vote in the 1996 elections declined significantly, the Latino share rose by a spectacular 16%. Yet electoral mobilization alone is unlikely to redress the increasing income and opportunity gaps between urban Latinos and suburban non-Hispanic whites. Thus in Los Angeles and elsewhere, the militant struggles of Latino workers and students are reinventing the American left. "Magical Urbanism" is fascinating reading for anyone who wants to grasp the future of urban America.

Since the introduction of steel as a building material in the early twentieth century, its superior performance has challenged conventional wisdom about construction, enabling designs of surprising lightness and span. Steel offered the opportunity to significantly expand buildings vertically and thus emerged as a symbol of the conflict between technological progress and the architectural ideal. More recently, the use of exposed steel elements in modern architecture ushered in a rediscovery of buildings’ metamorphoses. From the Eames House in Los Angeles to the Hôtel Tassel in Brussels and the Maison de Verre in Paris, "At Home in Steel" celebrates the use of steel in residential architecture.
