Résumé:
Foresight is the eleventh in an annual series of publications that features the best young practicing architects as selected by the Architectural League of New York in their annual Young Architects competition. This year's theme, "Foresight," refers to an ability to survey, research, and engage the present toward particular, desired outcomes in the future. Our lives are inundated by forecasts about the world climate, the economy, sociopolitical trends, the housing market's rise and fall, and all kinds of bubbles bursting. Everyone has become an expert in predicting the future, just as the very idea of a better future has, for the first time in recent memory, come into question. The competition winners—Bureau E.A.S.T., Ether Ship, ex.studio, Fake Industries, Frida Escobedo Lopez, and Phu Hoang Office—present forward-thinking projects that imagine an effective role for architecture in the future.

Résumé:
Bringing together Baudrillard’s most accomplished and perceptive commentators, this book assesses his legacy for the twenty-first century. It includes two essays by Baudrillard: a previously unpublished work entitled ‘The vanishing point of communication,’ and one of Baudrillard’s final texts, ‘On disappearance’, a veritable tour de force that serves as a culmination of his theoretical trajectory and a provocation to a new generation of thinkers. Employing Baudrillard’s key concepts, such as simulation, disappearance, and symbolic exchange, and deploying his most radical strategies, such as escalation, seduction, and fatality, the volume’s contributors offer a series of thought-provoking analyses of everything from art to politics, and from laughter to terror.

Résumé:
Jadis bien circonscrite dans ses murs, la ville en tant qu'unité administrative, politique ou territoriale fermée n'est plus qu'un souvenir. Mais, quelle que soit l'échelle, ce souvenir de ville traverse, inégalement, le centre et les périphéries. Comment, dans l'éclatement, redéployer l'effet ville ? Que ce soit du côté du «Grand Paris» ou en d'autres lieux (Berlin, Barcelone, Roubaix, Dunkerque, Saint-Étienne, Moscou...), ce numéro propose que la notion de paysage urbain soit prise au sérieux : que le paysage, au lieu de servir de supplément d'âme à la violence technocratique ou à l'autisme du discours architectural, devienne vraiment le principe d'organisation des territoires à l'âge de leur redéfinition.

Résumé:
More than any other Surrealist, Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim embraced, pursued and defined Surrealism's cult of the object, fashioning such classic works as the famous fur cup and the trussed high-heels, infusing everyday domestic objects with a concise eroticism. Yet many facets of her innovative and wide-ranging practice remain unknown to this day, including her extraordinary fountain projects. From the late 1960s until her death, Oppenheim designed and produced models for a series of freewheeling aquatic sculptures. Only three of these have been realized: the "Meret Oppenheim Fountain" in Bern in her native Switzerland, the "Spiral (Nature's Course)" in Paris and the "Hermes Fountain" located in the garden of artist and onetime collaborator Daniel Spoerri in Seggiano, Italy. Fountain Stories is the first to gather all of Oppenheim's fountain projects, including her drawings and unrealized models, into a single definitive publication.
