Résumé:
Through interdisciplinary approaches, this series explores and connects the changing realities of rural landscapes and communities around the world. Tucked inside the covers of this slim volume is a conversation—a chorus, a round. It takes place between the contributions, across a territory of blacktop, botany, and biography. It is as much a call and response between the writers and you, dear reader, as it is between what lays before us on that open road and what lies behind in the dust. In these pages we find ourselves caught between the ambiguous future of the title and—not the past—the artifacts of memory. This is the indefinite space of the future, the rural, and the archive.

Sagmeister: Made you look
$44.00
(disponible sur commande)
Résumé:
Another self-indulgent design monograph is Stefan Sagmeister's hand-scrawled subtitle for the first book about his work, Made You Look. This, and the book's clear red case and silver-gilded pages, seem contrary to the raw, handwritten style he is known for, already setting us up for a wild and very personal ride through almost the entire corpus of the 39-year-old(...)

Résumé:
Another self-indulgent design monograph is Stefan Sagmeister's hand-scrawled subtitle for the first book about his work, Made You Look. This, and the book's clear red case and silver-gilded pages, seem contrary to the raw, handwritten style he is known for, already setting us up for a wild and very personal ride through almost the entire corpus of the 39-year-old designer's work. Sagmeister once scratched words into his skin for his own lecture poster at Cranbrook, and this is the book version--sometimes enlightening, sometimes embarrassing, and ultimately touching. The story is a conversation between Peter Hall's text and Sagmeister's handwritten commentary, a perfect and believable device for an absorbing dialogue.

Résumé:
This collection of urban studies research and interpretation crosses the country from Quebec to B.C., comparing trends and perspectives over the past decade and across and beyond disciplines. Core questions of research, policy and practice facing Montreal and Vancouver—those featuring housing and transportation, in particular—are featured in terms of new and innovative directions. Emerging questions—about urban indigeneity, food systems, climate action—are broached in challenging ways. The twenty authors whose original work is compiled here demonstrate the scope for continued, critical, comparative conversation across francophone and anglophone divides. The book offers a significant resource for understanding the intersecting field and practice of urban studies in Quebec and in B.C. and for spurring its further evolution

Résumé:
radition and precedent inspire invention, architectural drawing, and media practice. This issue of AD presents a series of encounters with printed drawings, leading to their transformation and reimagination. Archival media from the John Nichols Printmakers & Publishers Collection, located at the A83 gallery in New York City, becomes the foundation for a series of new works by contemporary architects. Collectively exhibited at A83 under the title ''The Sixth Somewhat Annual Meeting'', these drawings explore ways archival artifacts can be newly activated, how intricate material objects invite non-normative readings, and how shifts in media forms produce complex differential effects. The contributors address these concerns through close engagement with specific works, expanding the conversation between drawing, archive, and publication.

Résumé:
Following two previous volumes on Kunsthaus Zürich’s architectural history and the design used to turn it into an art museum for the twenty-first century, this book documents the genesis of Chipperfield’s extension from proposal through political debates about the entire project to the completed structure. It features a foreword by Chipperfield and an essay by Christoph Felger, executive architect for the project at David Chipperfield Architects Berlin, that discusses the design concept, the promise made with it, and its fulfillment. A conversation between Felger, director of the City of Zurich’s Building Surveyor’s Office Wiebke Rösler, Kunsthaus Zürich’s director Christoph Becker, and architecture critic Sabine von Fischer, as well as numerous illustrations and plans round out this new volume.

On nous rapporte que le hall du musée Fodor d'Amsterdam dans lequel se situe la scène, le 9 novembre 1972 en soirée, est « enfumé, bruyant et bondé », que l'auditoire rassemblé se fait entendre par de « fréquentes vociférations ». Le centre de cette arène fiévreuse est la rencontre de deux graphic designers, de deux graphistes, de deux typographes, Wim Crouwel et Jan Van Toorn, dans un pays où leur voix porte, où leur pensée est importante. Une rencontre, une conversation, ou plutôt une confrontation, une controverse, un débat selon le terme qui lui sera consacré, qui caractérise les représentations de notre discipline dans les années 1980 et qui pourrait avoir encore quelque écho aujourd'hui.

Résumé:
During World War 2 the Neues Museum was almost completely destroyed. Now, on the Berlin Museum Island with its tremendous diversity of demands for the restoration it has become the classic example for the preservation of historic monuments. It is rebuilt due to the plans of the world renown architect David Chipperfield. The great reopening of this building (a main work of the Schinkel scholar Friedrich August Stueler) is scheduled for March 2009. The present book shows the history from its origins under Frederic Wilhelm IV of Prussia, the various phases of conversation and restoration of the war-ruin during the different systems after war to the considerations of preservation, modern building technique and current utilization.

Résumé:
From 2008 to 2010, Madrid based architects Luis M. Mansilla and Emilio Tunon held the Jean Labatut Visiting Professorship at the Princeton School of Architecture. More than a collection of student work, From Rules to Constraints is a wide ranging reflection on teaching, design practice, history and the city. Focusing on three sites at three distinct scales, this book examines the constraints of the architectural project social, political, historical, and environmental in order to create new rules for working. Examining both their teaching methods and Mansilla + Tunon`s own design work, the book presents the design process as an ongoing conversation between the building and the environment, between freedom and limits, and between the decided and undecided.

Résumé:
Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? Few expressions in the culture of human thought have the iconic stature, and emotive power, that the word "evolution" entails. Though commonly relegated to modern-day science, the concept of evolution is ingrained in representations of life and nature in the visual arts, and artists and scientists have much to share on the meaning of human origin, human existence and human fate. The present volume documents an online symposium, Visual Culture and Evolution, in which a distinguished panel of artists, curators, scientists, historians, educators, media theorists and critics participated in a lively, informative conversation on the interface of art and science.

Résumé:
Call Ampersand Response is a collaborative artwork made of images exchanged via email. Over a period of several months, Dumontier and Lexier sustained an image-based correspondence by sending each other scans of book covers, found objects, drawings and illustrations belonging to each artist’s respective collection. The project is based on the idea that their collections speak of their shared artistic affinities while informing their practices. Two rules dictated their conduct : each image was to function as a “call” seeking a “response” from the other artist, and the dialogue was to end when an image recalling the project’s opening image emerged, thereby constituting a narrative loop. Their conversation gave rise to a bookwork co-edited by Nieves and Artexte.
