Résumé:
In Edward Burtynsky’s recent photographs, produced across the African continent, the patterns and scars of human-altered landscapes initially appear to form an abstract painterly language; they reference the sublime and often surreal qualities of human mark-making. While chronicling the major themes of terraforming and extraction, urbanization and deforestation, ''African Studies'' conveys the unsettling reality of sweeping resource depletion on both a human and industrial scale. From natural landscapes to artisanal mining and mechanized extraction, several distinct chapters culminate with China in Africa: a series depicting the economic inroads being made by China, including the interiors of gigantic newly built manufacturing plants. This project brings together the work of seven years, the latest installment in Burtynsky’s ongoing oeuvre.

Résumé:
Rowe’s third volume on the architecture of the Far East deals with the development of modern architecture and planning in China, with a focus on this development within the broader framework of nation-building. Episodes and periods interrogated in the book range from the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912 to the proclamation of Xi Jinping’s ''China Dream'' 100 years later. Episodes will be foregrounded by commentary about the general states of the nation and particularly by urban planning undertakings. Providing a wide-ranging survey of Chinese modern architecture that has a historic aspect to it, the book introduces the reader to a plethora of originative and influential buildings, momentous urban schemes as well as the architects and planners behind them.

Résumé:
Spanning urban models, architecture and art, the work of Ma Yansong (MAD architects) is devoted to the relationship between humans and nature; his visionary ideas are at the forefront of architecture in China. The close relationship between man and nature through architecture has been the most distinguishing feature of eastern architecture with respect to western architecture. However, this relationship seems to have been lost in today’s China. Ma Yansong retakes it in all his projects, and not only with living elements, with the plants that invade some of his buildings, but through much more subtle abstract references. Ma Yansong’s architecture constantly moves from (global) modernity to (local) tradition, integrating traditional cultural concepts into truly audacious, almost futuristic organic shapes, created based on the most advanced technology.
