Résumé:
This volume reunites a selection of paintings from the Roma series, completed during Guston's residency at the American Academy in Rome in 1970-71. From early in his career, Guston had taken inspiration from Italian art, and his 1973 painting "Pantheon" features a list of Italian painters: de Chirico, Masaccio, Piero della Francesca, Giotto and Tiepolo. The Roma works consolidate this dialogue with Italian art and culture. Diary entries published alongside the reproductions recount exchanges at the American Academy, pilgrimages to Venice, Arezzo, Sicily and Orvieto, and observations of the international cultural community in Rome.

In this issue of Architectural Design the guest editors are drawn, like the content, from contrasting tastes and generations. Charles Jencks, the definer of Post-Modernism for thirty years, discusses some issues that have re-emerged today, while the young group of British architects, FAT, argues for a particular version of RPM. An interview between Rem Koohaas and Charles Jencks discusses the influence of Post-Modernism while investigations of street art, graffiti and the 1980 Venice Biennale show that communication is at the heart of this radical strain of architecture.

Dutch artist Mark Manders - who will represent the Netherlands at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013 - was awarded the Heineken Prize for Art 2012.

It contains facsimiles of the artist's publications and a focus on a large number of recent, never-published works.

Résumé:
In "Queer moderns", Alice Friedman tells the fascinating story of the queer avant-garde of the 1920s and ’30s in New York, Paris, and Venice, as seen through the eyes of Max Ewing (1903–1934), a young musician, photographer, and man-about-town who, although virtually unknown today, moved in extraordinary circles. In his photographs and letters, we meet the rising stars of modern art, music, dance, and literature and enter a world of interracial friendship, "queer space," and experimentation that shone brightly before being swept away by the Depression. It is a remarkable story that reveals that the history of modernism is more queer and more Black than previously recognized. In the 1920s, Ewing became part of an international coterie of artists led by Carl Van Vechten and Muriel Draper. In Europe, he was entertained by Gertrude Stein, met Stravinsky, and took a road trip with Romaine Brooks and Natalie Barney. In 1928, in a closet in his apartment, Ewing created the "Gallery of extraordinary portraits", an installation of photos of his favorite celebrities—Black and white, clothed and nude. For his "Carnival of Venice", he took portraits of more than a hundred friends—including Paul Robeson, Berenice Abbott, Isamu Noguchi, Agnes de Mille, and E. E. Cummings—posed in front of a backdrop of Saint Mark’s Square.

The author describes and analyzes the architecture of the palaces, synagogues, railroad stations, and department stores that architects and developers designed and built in Paris, Vienna, Budapest, Berlin, New York, Chicago and other cities. This richly illustrated history begins with the dramatic changes in nineteenth-century society and culture that liberated the first generation of Jews from the ghettos of Venice, Prague, and Frankfurt. It concludes with the modernism of the 1920s and 1930s. The book combines family history, urban history, and the history of architecture and architects with a history of Jews and Jewish thought.

Résumé:
Between 1560 and 1580, Andrea Palladio constructed several churches in Venice including the churches of San Francesco della Vigna, San Giorgio Maggiore, and Il Redentore. His last great work was the theatre in Vicenza for the Academia Olimpica. Palladio cultivated his own interpretation of Roman motifs, and combined many of the elements of the classical style. However, he shared in the Renaissance quest for harmonic proportions. Palladio was the first architect to systematize the layout of the private rooms of a house, and the first to use the ancient Greco-Roman temple front as a portico on residential buildings.

Résumé:
We must continually remind ourselves that law originates in conflict, and that such concepts are not static determinations, but rather are constantly being renegotiated. Applying this relationship between law, regulations, and architectural practice, it becomes clear why the work of certain architects has a political dimension. This volume attempts to examine the inherent meaning of societal regulatory systems as these relate to architecture, taking the film directed by Arno Brandlhuber and Christopher Roth, their submission to the 15th Architecture Biennale in Venice, as its point of departure, and presents a broad series of case studies largely based on the work of Alex Lehnerer.
