Résumé:
The conditions in which present-day architecture is produced are partly local and singular and partly global and universal. Understanding contemporary architecture means understanding all of these aspects. What are the pivotal themes? Gert Wingårdh and Rasmus Wærn, Swedens most active architect and its best-known architecture critic, asked themselves this question and made a selection of approximately fifty terms and concepts, including Branding, Collaborators, Corporate, Desire, Future, Everyday, Ornament, and Wheelchair. The result is a very special dictionary with humorous illustrations and original articles by interesting protagonists such as Denise Scott Brown, Kenneth Frampton, Massimiliano Fuksas, Hans Ibelings, Peter Blundell Jones, Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Juhani Pallasmaa, Joseph Rykwert, Jaime Salazar, Axel Sowa, and Wilfried Wang. A special highlight is the text by Nobel laureate Ohran Pamuk.

Résumé:
One of the fundamental considerations in landscape architecture is whether to create something which appears to be natural, or to design something deliberately artificial. Always moving between nature and artifice the art of landscape architecture expresses itself in a sensitive awareness of time and place. If the design is not to become a mere ornament, then it must be supported by concepts and visions, daring to create something new from the existing surroundings. This collection of essays which have been published over the last decade in Topos – European Landscape Magazine, is a valuable contribution to the literature in the specialised field of landscape architecture. The authors include Paolo Bürgi who writes on dimensions of memory, Joachim W. Jacobs who investigates the Bauhaus and the theory of space, and Kathinka Schreiber who takes a critical look at landscape in film.

Résumé:
"Whoop to the duck!" is both a comprehensive retrospective and a preview of the work of the SPLITTERWERK label, active in the conflictive context between engineering and art since 1988. The publication covers the spectrum from urbanistic designs for our “post-urban society” to the return of the ornament and the exemplary implementation of new housing designs. Frank Lloyd Wright’s open plan, Adolf Loos’ Raumplan or Margarete Schütte Lihotzky’s Frankfurt Kitchen find their contemporary continuation in the Graz Apartment. In the 21st century, the walls have a custom-made world of images which allows functions to be added “on demand”. The investigation of experimental surfaces has led Splitterwerk to fundamentally reassess imagery in architecture. It is a revival of a different nature for the "duck" (R. Venturi / D. Scott Brown) which calls for a further paradigm shift in architecture.

Résumé:
Berlin-based artist Olaf Holzapfel explores the interstices between art and craft by collaborating with local farmers and craftspeople to create sculptural work that interweaves human settlement, technique and abstraction. The handsome full-color exhibition catalog features both large site-specific installations consisting of hay, straw and wooden frameworks along with his smaller woven sculptures from his exhibition at the Lindenau-Museum Altenburg. Using space-generating methods like plaiting, weaving and latticing age-old settler techniques his sculptures don t differentiate between the manufactured and the handcrafted, the functional and the aesthetic. By transforming age-old handiwork into contemporary art, Holzapfel unsettles the division between nature and culture, tradition and modernity. A concluding essay by writer Jennifer Allen explores the pattern-making and abstraction in Holzapfel s work in relationship to Adolf Loos s influential 1908 essay Crime and Ornament.
