Résumé:
Through the pages of "Sunshine Terrace", it is a strange, askew domesticity that first strikes us. It is the red eyes of a garage gate, a crooked tree growing over patchwork gravel beds, abandoned shopping carts, a strange triangular decoration, like a semblance of an imaginary map that one cannot read.

Résumé:
Through the pages of "Sunshine Terrace", it is a strange, askew domesticity that first strikes us. It is the red eyes of a garage gate, a crooked tree growing over patchwork gravel beds, abandoned shopping carts, a strange triangular decoration, like a semblance of an imaginary map that one cannot read. These are the signs to be deciphered of a deliberately emptied residential area, whose human presence remains elusive, but whose inevitable markers we recognize: the stucco and asphalt surfaces, the chain-link fences and bodywork, the bursts of greenery, too. Turning her lens towards her own neighborhood, perched between the expanses of Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, Emily Shur adopts the figure of the walking photographer, focusing her gaze on this familiar place in which she precisely frames surfaces, colors and light in a true compositional pleasure, where forms respond to each other with a discreet humor.

Résumé:
This publication focuses on a lecture given by Harun Farocki in March 1994 at the "Cine City: Film and Perceptions of Urban Space, 1895–1995" conference at the Getty Center for the History of Art and the Humanities in Los Angeles. Here, Farocki wove an associative web of thoughts on the relationship between film, architecture, material worlds, political economy, dwelling, sexuality, space, and time. Although an interest in buildings, spatial relationships, and power relations, as well as the interpenetration of technical media and urban space, was central to Farocki's practice, this is one of the few explicit explorations of the relationship between architecture and cinema. The (German and English) manuscripts of Farocki's lecture are supplemented by press material from the Getty Center's extensive film and lecture series. In their postface, the editors provide elements of interpretation and contextualization with regard to Farocki's previous and subsequent projects on spatiality and architecture.

Résumé:
Immigrants in the United States send more than $20 billion every year back to Mexico one of the largest flows of such remittances in the world. With The Remittance Landscape, Sarah Lynn Lopez offers the first extended look at what is done with that money, and in particular how the building boom that it has generated has changed Mexican towns and villages. Lopez not only identifies a clear correspondence between the flow of remittances and the recent building boom in rural Mexico but also proposes that this construction boom itself motivates migration and changes social and cultural life for migrants and their families. At the same time, migrants are changing the landscapes of cities in the United States: for example, Chicago and Los Angeles are home to buildings explicitly created as headquarters for Mexican workers from several Mexican states such as Jalisco, Michoacán, and Zacatecas.

Résumé:
This is the first comprehensive survey of Ian Strange’s (born 1982) architectural interventions, including photographic and filmic interpretations of those works. Highlighting projects from the past 12 years and spanning geographies from Strange’s native Australia to New Zealand, Japan, Poland and the US, Strange’s provocative transformations of damaged or abandoned homes unlock themes of social upheaval and geographic displacement caused by economic blight, environmental disaster and migration. Published on the occasion of exhibitions at the 2020 Perth Festival and the 2022 FotoFocus Biennial, ''Disturbed home'' features lucid commentary and original documentation of numerous distinct projects. Also included are scholarly essays by FotoFocus artistic director and curator Kevin Moore and Britt Salvesen, curator and head of the Wallis Annenberg Photography Department and the Prints and Drawings Department at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Essays address Strange’s practice within traditions of street art, photography, film, public sculpture and dance.

Résumé:
Following his Getty Center in Los Angeles and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona, celebrated American architect Richard Meier (born 1934) has created another stunning example of museum architecture. Full of light, the Sammlung Frieder Burda in Baden-Baden sits alongside the Staatliche Kunsthalle, and the two are linked via glass bridge. In contrast to the neo-classical Kunsthalle, Sammlung Frieder Burda has the air of a California mansion, distinguished by its elegance, transparency and openness. Set on the city's historic Lichtentaler Allee park and arboretum, the building is referred to by many--including its architect--as the “jewel in the park.” This newly revised assessment of the project charts the museum from its early phases to completion through numerous sketches, plans and photographs. The book also features essays by art historians and architecture critics that expand upon the structure, its function and its location.

Résumé:
In 1951, designer Greta Magnusson Grossman observed that California design was "not a superimposed style, but an answer to present conditions....It has developed out of our own preferences for living in a modern way."California design influenced the material culture of the entire country, in everything from architecture to fashion. This generously illustrated book, which accompanies a major exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is the first comprehensive examination of California's mid-century modern design. It begins by tracing the origins of a distinctively California modernism in the 1930s by such European as Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler, and Kem Weber; it finds others pecific design influences and innovations in solid-color commercial ceramics, inspirations from Mexico and Asia, new schools for design training, new concepts about leisure, and the conversion of wartime technologies to peacetime use(exemplified by Charles and Ray Eames's plywood and fiberglass furniture).

Résumé:
Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, Londres, Johannesbourg, Paris, Jérusalem, Mumbai, Lagos, Shanghai... Le phénomène urbain s’étend sur la planète. Des global cities aux petites villes, il représente la forme sociale de la modernité. Certaines expériences d’architecture et d’urbanisme mobilisent les recherches en sciences sociales. Comment les groupes sociaux s’adaptent-ils à ces espaces et comment se les approprient-ils ? La ville crée-t-elle des communautés ou des solitudes ? Existe-t-il des lieux pathogènes ? Comment la distribution des classes sociales s’opère-t-elle ? La tendance à la ségrégation sociale a-t-elle augmenté ? La mixité sociale est-elle possible et organisable ? Par quels groupes sociaux la cité est-elle gouvernée et comment ? La participation des habitants est-elle envisageable ? Que signifie un aménagement urbain durable ? Ce livre propose des éléments de réponse en mobilisant les résultats de nombreuses recherches sociologiques françaises et internationales ainsi qu’un guide méthodologique pour le chercheur débutant.
