Résumé:
In light of the increasing disengagement between urban and rural areas, this book address the interdependency of cities with ecological and technological processes outside the purview of traditional urban planning. It compiles a huge amount of essays in regards to the most important topics that cities must address today, such as their connection with global data networks, ecological cycles of resources which supersede the traditional boundaries of urbanism. For this reason, it frames investigation of contemporary urbanism on nine imminent commons grouping the urban commons into resources and technologies lead us to the arcane classification of natural resources: air, water, fire, and earth, the four elements of ancient cosmologies; and five basic technological commons based on expanded human capacities: sensing, communicating, moving, making, and recycling.

Résumé:
Why does live performance continue to engage us? In a world saturated with recorded entertainment, we seek out the intimacy and immediacy of live music and theater. What is the relationship between design and the experiences, perceptions, and memories it engenders?

Set Pieces pairs the words of leading artists and critics with details showcasing the design and inner workings from projects by Diamond Schmitt Architects for some of the world’s most remarkable performing-arts buildings. The book provides an immersive study of sixteen design elements that enhance and transform the perception of performance - and evoke experiences that surpass visual understanding.

Résumé:
From Epicentres to the luxury raves of guerilla stores, from minimalist aesthetics to pop editorials. The fashion system expects innovation, flexibility, softness and entertainement from architecture. It wants legitimisation. It wants the values of the brand staged by architecture laden with meaning. Tracing 30 years of architecture for fashion and communication strategies, from Elio Fiorucci to Rei Kawakubo, by way of Calvin Klein and Giorgio Armani, learning the Japanese lesson and overturning communicative logics with Prada, what will the possible future scenario of a relationship between fashion and architecture be? Claudio Marenco Mores, architect, graduated from the IUAV en Venice with a thesis on the use of architecture as a means of brand communication. He specialised in brand design and marketing for luxury goods at the European Institute of Design. He has worked as editor for various fshion magazines and is currently the marketing manager for a company involved in lighting design. MODE is a project by Fondazione Pitti Discovery directed by Maria Luisa and devoted to the ideas and figures of the fashion world.

Résumé:
Mass housing and prefabrication shaped global modernist architecture like no other aspect of industrialised construction. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of how both conventional and experimental prototypes and series gave rise to an architecture for all, often responding to crises, the imperatives of nation-building, and housing shortages by rapidly developing, distributing, and assembling structures. The authors scrutinise the cultural impact of mass housing and prefabrication, tracing this influence through exhibitions, memory culture, and typologies, ultimately concluding with an outlook on the preservation and repair of structures and their adaptation for the future.

Résumé:
An exhibition catalogue from the Migros Museum featuring 21 artists and architects including Anish Kapoor, Jane and Louise Wilson, James Casebere, and Daniel Libeskind among others. The exhibition takes as its point of departure three contexts in which space occupies a central position: Sigmund Freud’s notion of “das Unheimliche” and psychoanalytical elaboration of space and its emotion; Michel Foucault’s other spaces – heterotopias and their counter-site qualities of socio-political implications; and Walter Benjamin’s outmoded and repressed space with all its auratic traces (fake or authentic) of philosophical and historic charge. “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered” aims to exploit the psychological associations of space with its multiplicity of emotional overtones, mapping its extremes and its psychic environment. Focusing on spatial pathologies (agoraphobia, vertigo, claustrophobia...), the exhibition identifies space as a cause of mental disorder, fear or estrangement, ultimate trauma. Hysteria, panic and neurosis overlap with other spatial stories of psychic unrest and unease: distortions and perversions (warped space); anxiety and enigmas (haunted space); spatial inconvenience and discomfort, perfectly domestic and yet alienating; space half-spoken, half-pronounced: a promise, a puzzle, a magic spell, temptation.

Résumé:
De 1850 à 1914, les arts décoratifs fleurissent dans toute l’Europe pour orner notamment bâtiments privés ou publics. Les cages d’escalier, lieux de représentation par excellence, sont un thème privilégié pour les architectes qui les conçoivent avec un grand souci de détail. En Suisse romande, dans les immeubles locatifs, un riche patrimoine, très souvent méconnu, témoigne de cet âge d’or des arts appliqués. Pourtant ce n’est qu’à partir des années 1980 que ce patrimoine devient sujet d’étude et qu’il commence à faire l’objet d’inventaires. Cet ouvrage, fruit de la collaboration d’un photographe et de six spécialistes – historiens de l’art, de l’architecture et des techniques, ethnologue, restauratrice d’art – offre une complémentarité de regards et de connaissances. La trentaine de cages d’escalier illustrées ont été choisies à travers toute la Suisse romande pour leur intérêt historique, leur beauté architecturale et décorative, l’intégrité de leur décor, leur caractère d’exemplarité ou la réussite de leur restauration, et cela en accord avec leur propriétaire. Si leur présentation constitue le point fort du livre, les auteurs les insèrent dans un contexte plus large en retraçant l’histoire de l’escalier, en soulignant combien son thème a inspiré la littérature et le cinéma et en abordant, de manière thématique, les métiers et les hommes et chacune des techniques décoratives présentes dans la cage d'escalier. Les auteurs : Fabienne Hoffmann, Dave Lüthi, Nadja Maillard, Catherine Reymond Bui, Catherine Schmutz Nicod, Rémy Gindroz. Photographies de Rémy Gindroz.

Résumé:
Many African countries are home to extraordinary architecture that is virtually unknown. There are interpretations of Art Deco, International Style, Brutalism as well as of African vernacular architecture. Climate-responsive buildings with a fluidity of interior and exterior spaces play a large role. While many of these 20th century architects were of European origin, they were deeply influenced by their surroundings and found original, site-specific expressions, often in collaboration with African architects. A focus of the construction activities were educational buildings which played an important role for these young nations that mostly gained their independence in the 1960s. While some of the documented buildings have been restored, others are still awaiting reconstruction.
