Résumé:
A comprehensive overview on the work of renowned London architect Tony Fretton (born 1945). After graduating from the reputable Architectural Association in 1982 Fretton opened his own architect's office. He attracted attention early on with the Lisson Gallery and the "Red House" (London). His spatial creations and their incorporation into the urban context are of subtle mastery. With his designs for the Camden Arts Centre, the Fuglsang Kunstmuseum in Denmark, London townhouse for the artist Anish Kapoor and the British embassy in Warsaw, Fretton has emerged as one of the most prominent contemporary architects.

An array of contributors, including poets, journalists, teachers, historians, wanderers, drinkers, photographers, and foodies, offer a selection of personal and subjective readings of the city since the late ’70s.

This revised edition includes a new introduction by editor Joe Kerr that brings the book up to date and gives the essays context for the post-recession world.

Résumé:
Nairobi, in its short history spanning just over one hundred years, has grown to be one of the most varied and international cities of our contemporary world. Migration has been shown as one of the key forces infl uencing the city. In the context of Nairobi’s complex colonial and postindependence political trajectory, migration has reinforced ethnic, spatial, and economic differences, leading to the formation of multiple power structures. This process is evident in the city’s radically different urban patterns. The book documents, along specific neighborhoods, how different cultures of urban life constitute the city today.

Résumé:
Tadashi Kawamatas curious installations manifest at a variety of locations around the globe, from Centre Pompidou, Paris, and Madison Square Park, New York, to Documenta IX and the Shanghai Biennale. Works emphasise architectural space as urban or designed social context or product with often temporary pieces constructed from timber or locally salvaged materials. This book offers a survey, with photographic documentation ranging from early domestic interventions, through prolific activity in public realms and to the recent tree huts, which imagine an elevated, alternative perspective. With texts by Jonathan Watkins, Martin Friedman and Guy Tortosa.

Résumé:
In 1884, a remarkable twelve-year-old girl made a paper doll’s house. While these were fashionable enough at the time, they were usually drawn and painted. Miss Sarah Elizabeth Birdsall Otis, however, chose the medium of collage. Eric Boman’s photographs capture Miss Otis’s vivid fantasy world in all its quirky splendor. Exploring the household, from the conservatory, parlor, and library to the dining room and bedrooms, the images portray a domain of astonishing color and aesthetic daring. Context is provided by period photographs depicting the era of Miss Otis’s privileged Long Island life.

Résumé:
Attention, selection and adaptation are the processes Michel Rojkind proposes in this spirited manifesto as key elements of his approach, addressing the architectural solutions to current problems in an increasingly complex and dynamic context. Alongside multifocal analysis from Alejandro Hernández Gálvez and conversations with Bjarke Ingels, Paul Nakazawa and Alejandro Aravena, Rojkind links concepts, experiences and opinions with intuition and sensitivity. His twisting, performative parametric forms take on new substance as Rojkind concludes that the best architects are not simply builders their attentive and focused reading of contemporary society is crucial to their craft.

Résumé:
All Possible Futures accompanies an exhibition that explores speculative work created by contemporary graphic designers. The scope of work encompasses everything from self-generated provocations, to experimental work created in parallel with client-based projects, to unique practices where commissions have been tackled with a high level of autonomy and critical investigation. The work highlights different levels of visibility and public-ness within the graphic design process. Some projects were made for clients and exist in a ‘real world’ context, while others might otherwise have gone unnoticed: failed proposals, experiments, sketches, incomplete thoughts.
