Résumé:
The title "Le bateau ivre" (The Drunken Boat) refers to the poem of the same name by Arthur Rimbaud, in which he uses the image of a boat to represent a man’s journey through life. In a poetic photographic essay structured like a play in five acts, Martin Essl redraws the outline of a city in transformation and composes an abstract and contemporary map of Paris. »Le bateau ivre leads us on a Parisian tour that shows the eternal return of the same, like a curtain that opens and closes endlessly. As if diluted and transformed, under the influence of variations around cold colors, the Parisian space gradually becomes acqua alta, geographical, social, cultural, and temporal boundaries are dissolved.

Walking as research practice
$59.95

Résumé:
What might be considered the research output of a walking practice? An important caveat to this would be to ask where and when the research occurs in relation to the walk, the walking, and the walkers. Does the walk activate our senses, or do our senses demand that we walk? Since walking involves encounters with various objects and subjects, how might it help us emphasise(...)

An important caveat to this would be to ask where and when the research occurs in relation to the walk, the walking, and the walkers. Does the walk activate our senses, or do our senses demand that we walk? Since walking involves encounters with various objects and subjects, how might it help us emphasise our connection to the more-than-human world? In addition, walking reveals different entry points to a city. Could walking provide a path toward more socially just urban spaces and commons? With an introduction by design critic and educator Alice Twemlow and urbanist and researcher Tânia A. Cardoso. Published in collaboration with Soapbox Journal.

Résumé:
With entries as varied as ‘'elbow'’, '‘Ophelia'’, '‘progress'’, the painter Giorgio Morandi, ‘"chess'’, ‘'Eulalia'’ (a friend of the author’s aunt), and ‘'unicorn'’, Ida Vitale constructs a dictionary of her long and passionately engaged artistic life. Taking the reader by the arm, she invites us to become her confidant, sharing her remarkable 20th century as a member of a storied generation of Latin American writers, of whom she is the last remaining alive. It’s a compendium of friendship, travel, reading, and the endless opportunities she found for 'the joyful possibility of creation.Like every dictionary, ''Lexicon of Affinities'' seeks to impose order on chaos, even if in its exuberant, whimsical profusion it lays bare the unstable character of the cosmos.

When reality fails us, what can designers do? Question design’s relationship to reality, as Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby do, in this exhilarating, yet thoughtful, journey to the edges of science, philosophy, and literature to find new ways of thinking about the possible—and about the meaning, function, and place of design in that speculative world of "not here, not now."(...)

Résumé:
When reality fails us, what can designers do? Question design’s relationship to reality, as Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby do, in this exhilarating, yet thoughtful, journey to the edges of science, philosophy, and literature to find new ways of thinking about the possible—and about the meaning, function, and place of design in that speculative world of "not here, not now." A conceptual travelogue of sorts, "Not here, not now" brings together words, images, and objects that capture, in design form, some of the ideas encountered along the way. Itself a design experiment, the richly illustrated book explores ways to bring these ideas into conversation with objects through imagined archives, libraries, glossaries, taxonomies, lists, tales, and essays.

Résumé:
The devastation left in the wake of modernity and globalization is revealing a fragile and unfamiliar planet, and humanity has awakened to a new real. If the old “realist” tools of objectivism have contributed to capitalist society’s divorce from the natural world, how are artists finding new ways to make us really see—and feel—the planet? Surveying a body of planet-facing art, communal practices, and activism, Josephine Berry investigates art’s power to break with capitalist realism and decarbonize the imagination. With chapters on feeling as world-making, the rupture of petroleum landscapes, artists’ urban exodus, and migration as survival, ''Planetary Realism'' delves deeply into art’s necessary reimagining of life on Earth.

Résumé:
Architecture critic Philip Nobel takes us deep into the inner workings of Ground Zero, tracing the redevelopment of this battleground construction site from smoke-shrouded ruin to controversial master plan. Nobel gathers the huge cast of players at war with one another: real estate developers; grieving families; ambitious politicians; and most of all the architects, in the national spotlight as never before, charged with satisfying impossible demands and reconciling a sacred zone with daily life. By turns tragic and comic, "Sixteen acres" is a riveting story of high culture and low dealings, confronting the essential questions: Can buildings provide meaning? Are modern architects up to the job? What are the limits of architecture?

Résumé:
This publication documents the impact that elevators, escalators and moving walkways have had on the urban landscape, building types and culture worldwide. The mid-nineteenth-century invention of the elevator safety break, in conjunction with other developments such as the steel frame, facilitated the construction of the skyscraper and so helped to transform the appearance of our cities and the places in which many of us live and work. The turn-of-the-century inventions of the escalator and the moving sidewalk have left their indelible mark on railway stations, airports, retail spaces, hotels, offices, factories and elsewhere. "Up, down, across" makes a long-overdue and valuable addition to urban and architectural studies and cultural history.
