Résumé:
Imagine a collection of perforated leaves in which organisms like insects, fungi, or bacteria existing in the foliage have created an array of patterns. Eva-Fiore Kovacovsky’s ''Feeding on light'' examines photosynthesis through experimental photography. Bringing the outdoors into her analogue colour darkroom, the artist captures the traces of the often symbiotic relationships observed between trees, insects, and the sun. The book takes the form of a field guide, with an extensive index of common and scientific plant names linking the hundreds of photograms, contact prints, and negative prints. Essays contextualise her work through biology, ecology, and philosophy.

Résumé:
''Du iz tak?'' What is that? As a tiny shoot unfurls, two damselflies peer at it in wonder. When the plant grows taller and sprouts leaves, some young beetles arrive to gander, and soon—with the help of a pill bug named Icky—they wrangle a ladder and build a tree fort. But this is the wild world, after all, and something horrible is waiting to swoop down—booby(...)

Résumé:
The award-winning Sri Lankan architectural firm led by Palinda Kannangara is known for an experiential architecture that hinges on simplicity and connection with the natural environment.

Résumé:
This publication shows the ambitious transformation of Skanderbeg Square, in Tirana, Albania. The project was initiated by the then Mayor of Tirana and current Prime Minister of Albania Edi Rama and realized under current mayor Erion Veliaj. It is the result of a collaboration between Belgian architecture office 51N4E, Albanian artist Anri Sala, Belgian environmental designers Plant en Houtgoed, and Albanian company for project implementation iRI. Transforming the central square of a nation that is founded only in 1912 and that is now a developing young democracy, the project compresses all the hope and tension that come with that transition.

Résumé:
Cuttings [Supplement] is produced in association with Starling's solo exhibition at The Power Plant in 2008. The exhibition features the newly commissioned work Infestation Piece (Musselled Moore) (2007-8), a piece that collapses the history of Henry Moore's sculpture, Warrior with Shield (1953–4), with the zebra mussel infestation in Lake Ontario. This publication is a companion piece to Cuttings (2005), but stands on its own with essays focusing on the commissioned sculpture and new works made since Starling won the Turner Prize in 2005. Autoxylopyrocycloboros (2006), Nachbau (Reconstruction) (2007), and Wilhelm Noack oHG (2006), are accompanied with explanatory texts and colour illustrations.

Résumé:
This publication reports on tree nurseries all over the world, their contexts, the historical backgrounds to their emergence, the ways in which they influence town and landscape planning and the relevant economic factors. Here the relationship between man and his environment is always in the foreground of the investigation; this has been shown from time immemorial in terms of plant production in all regions. The desire to produce and the ability to transform things, to be creative, have characterized human existence and man's environment from the outset. Each chapter contains essays and travel reports with photographs of the present situation.
