Résumé:
Edward Burtynsky (b. 1955) is one of a generation of photographers who seek to portray the visible outcomes of a globalized economy and humankind’s impact on environments around the world. He has achieved global recognition with his large-scale photographs and project-based monographs, such as Quarries, Oil, and Water, all of which have resulted in popular touring exhibitions and, in the case of Water, a feature-length documentary film entitled Watermark. However, while Burtynsky’s global standing is without question, no comprehensive retrospective of his career to date exists.

Résumé:
Jean-Louis Cohen, one of the world's leading architectural historians, serves up a compelling account of the developments that have shaped the world in which we live today.

Résumé:
The idea of public spaces—city parks, waterfront bike paths, and bustling squares—has long been associated with urban environments. Public Spheres After Socialism challenges this idea in light of the end of the cold war and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Drawing together experiences from across Europe, this innovative volume reconsiders the public sphere as a figurative, or mythical, location where members of society shape and determine its values. This book examines monuments, reconstruction, film, and new media to ask whether public spaces are viable in an age of globalized consumerism.

Résumé:
This thesis investigates the role of the term plot in mediating relations between architecture and narrativity. Examining organisational strategies in the creation of real and virtual spaces, it identifies literary works by novelists who have resisted, or subverted, plot conventions in fiction (Joris-Karl Huysmans, Edmond de Goncourt, Xavier de Maistre and Neal Stephenson), and introduces architectural spaces such as Thomas Edison s film-studio Black Maria, and the plotless productions of early cinematography, to juxtapose concepts of plot and spatiality in a study of the production and consumption of pre-digital virtual spaces.

Résumé:
David Chieppo, born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1973 and based in Zurich since 1998, is an artist whose drawings are fundamental to his work, for they have an openness and compositional spontaneity that relates closely to the way the world is seen. In capturing a moment, the drawings are not determined primarily by stylistic concerns, but by the potent energy of the person or the situation Chieppo seeks to convey - irrespective of whether these phenomena are experienced at first hand or through a medium such as photography, film or television.

Résumé:
Anja Kirschner's drawings present a series of plans for a future film set, dealing with the legendary 18th century criminal Jack Sheppard and his inferred relationship with Daniel Defoe, thought to have been the ghost writer of his 'autobiography'. The designs combine elements from constructivist theatre design and early 18th century prints, depicting modular components of the set to be constructed during filming, indicating the systemic relationship between workshop and prison cell, bourgeois home and the gallows. Anja Kirschner was born in 1977 in Munich, Germany and lives and works in London.

Résumé:
"Walls of Algiers" examines the historical processes that transformed Ottoman Algiers, the 'Bulwark of Islam', into 'Alger la blanche', the colonial urban showpiece - and, after the outbreak of revolution in 1954 - counter-model of France's global empire. In this volume, the city of Algiers serves as a case study for the analysis of the proactive and reactive social, political, technical, and artistic forces that generate a city's form. Visual sources - prints, photographs, paintings, architectural drawings, urban designs, and film - are treated as primary evidence that complements and even challenges textual documents.

Résumé:
This book offers a selection Kazuo Shinohara's rarely seen colour slides, which were made during his travels. The pictures are for the most part rapidly composed and casually shot, and were mainly taken in cities. Featured are snapshots from his five significant overseas journeys, which he embarked on between 1972 and 1985. From street scenes and impressions of townscapes, to the occasional monumental building or open space, the images were captured on 35 mm film for the purpose of recording details, unusual perspectives, and mere oddities. It is the travel diary of a seasoned architect.
