What does the Internet look like? It’s the single most essentail aspect of modern life, and yet, for many of us, the Internet looks like an open browser, or the black mirrors of our phones and computers. But in ''Networks of New York'', Ingrid Burrington lifts our eyes from our screens to the streets, showing us that the Internet is everywhere around us, all the time—we just have to know where to look.

Résumé:
En architecture comme en littérature, le tout vaut plus que la somme des parties. Bâtir une maison, pour Sibrine Durnez et François-Xavier Martiat, ce n'est pas seulement concevoir un plan ingénieux, choisir des matériaux appropriés. C'est inventer un lieu de vie, et donc se mettre à l'écoute de ses futurs occupants, imaginer des volumes accueillants, marqués par une(...)

En architecture comme en littérature, le tout vaut plus que la somme des parties. Bâtir une maison, pour Sibrine Durnez et François-Xavier Martiat, ce n'est pas seulement concevoir un plan ingénieux, choisir des matériaux appropriés. C'est inventer un lieu de vie, et donc se mettre à l'écoute de ses futurs occupants, imaginer des volumes accueillants, marqués par une grande clarté de ligne. Pour écrire la Porte à côté, Frédéric Saenen s'est fait architecte à son tour, en construisant un puzzle d'événements, de relations, de coïncidences et de regards, dont le sens ne se dévoile que très progressivement.

Résumé:
Drawing on the early Soviet atheist magazines "Godless" and "Godless at the Machine", and postwar posters by Communist Party publishers, author Roland Elliott Brown presents an unsettling tour of atheist ideology in the USSR. Here are uncanny, imaginative and downright blasphemous visions from the very guts of the Soviet atheist apparatus: sinister priests rub shoulders with cross-bearing colonial torturers, greedy mullahs, a cyclopean Jehovah and a crypto-fascist Jesus; Russian cosmonauts mock God from space while vigilant border guards nab American Bible smugglers. "Godless Utopia" is the occult grimoire of a lost socialist anti-theology.

Résumé:
Italian cities have been points of reference for much of architect Peter Wilson’s professional life and the many reasons for visiting the country have long presented themselves as not just the easy list – holidays, food, architecture and culture. The grand tour is the most obvious of tropes for framing these things, but it can also serve as a useful vehicle for a more ingrained understanding into Italy’s wider architectural habitat and cultural mythology. This book, which accompanies an exhibition of the same title at the AA School in 2016, appears in the form of a latter-day Baedeker

Résumé:
Contains entries describing approximately 1000 buildings, streets, or areas in London, arranged by city section. Coverage concentrates on the center, with "only exceptional" buildings from outer London included. A brief but informative introduction outlines London's architectural history since Roman times, and entries for each area are listed in chronological order, accompanied by a small black-and-white photo. The brief descriptions point out significant features and provide a refreshing frankness that reflects the opinions of the authors (both architects) on various architectural styles. The detailed area maps and index also ensure the book's usefulness as a tour guide.
