Résumé:
Born in New York and trained in architecture, Gordon Matta-Clark is most famous for his slicing through façades, walls and floors of derelict buildings. This 'deconstructing' gesture, provocative and extreme, turns architecture into astonishing sculptures, where the mass of the building is entwined with the light and air that penetrate it.

Born in New York and trained in architecture, Gordon Matta-Clark is most famous for his slicing through façades, walls and floors of derelict buildings. This 'deconstructing' gesture, provocative and extreme, turns architecture into astonishing sculptures, where the mass of the building is entwined with the light and air that penetrate it. Matta-Clark's interventions are always grounded in social or political convictions. Some of his projects include opening a restaurant (Food, 1971)in the SoHo in New York, purchasing at auction fractions of unusable urban land in New York (Reality Properties: Fake Estates, 1973), dispensing oxygen to passersby in the streets of New York from a self-made cart (Fresh Air Cart, 1972), and other visionary urban projects that he conceived as a founding member of the New York-based Anarchitecture group.

Beloved and admired for his powerful, meditative spaces and his sensual and yet refined use of the materials of the modern trade - wood, steel, concrete, glass - Ando's work resonates with profound intelligence, unpretentious elegance, and an almost palpable sense of harmony. "Tadao Ando at Naoshima: art, architecture, nature" showcases the latest work in an on going process of building by Tadao Ando at the Naoshima Island Art Complex. Featured here is Ando's recently completed Chichu Art Museum, an underground facility built on the small island in the Inland Sea of Japan. With respect for the landscape and the traditional use of the land as terraced salt fields, Ando adapted the architecture to the topography, by burying much of the complex volume below the ground.

The book includes over 400 works from the Polaroid Collections, an essay by Barbara Hitchcock illuminating the beginnings and history of the collection, and a technical reference section featuring the various types of Polaroid cameras.

Résumé:
"306090 09: regarding rublic space" explores the conception, production, and operation of contemporary public space in the city from the vantage of its design, development, construction, and use. Rather than dwell on what public space is, 306090's guest editors identify it as the material manifestation of intersecting forces (economics, program, sustainable land-use) whose formation involves a complex set of manipulations in both physical space and managerial aptitude. The articles in this volume, by contributors from cities across the globe, test the ways in which we articulate the built environment to make public space, interrogating it through examples from practice and theoretical developments alike. Design Bureau for Public Space (DB4PS) is an international speculative practice dedicated to the research and execution of design initiatives for the public realm.

Résumé:
"Caracas litoral, Venezuela" looks at the challenges, obstacles, and opportunities facing the reconstruction of coastal communities near Caracas, after mudslides devastated these areas in December 1999. Already in the midst of informal land development, affluent weekend residents from Caracas had awkwardly occupied this dramatic and precarious strip of coastland between the Gulf of Mexico and the Avila Mountain - also shared with the national airport and second largest seaport. In a city where most of the urban population lives in informal housing, the contested nature of redevelopment - emergent social, economic, and cultural patterns confronting traditional patterns of settlement - could easily be predicted. Fully bilingual, in English and Spanish, this book explores opportunities that unite the various constituencies through innovative programming, sustainable geological/hydrological infrastructure, and economically viable housing and commercial development.

Located on the Kaipara harbor in New Zealand, 30 miles north of Auckland, Te Tuhirangi Contour is one of Richard Serra's latest site-specific works. The site is a vast open grass pasture with rolling elevations and curvilinear contours. The sculpture, made of hundreds of tons of steel, is located on one continuous contour, at a length of 843 feet. The particular contour was chosen for its location, differentiation, contraction and expansion in relation to the total volume of the landscape, and the elevation of the sculpture is perpendicular to the fall of the land, which generates its lean of 11 degrees. The work was first mocked-up full scale in wood to determine height and length. Serra's monumental sculpture is documented here in Dirk Reinartz's elegant black-and-white photography.

Résumé:
This reader takes the following assumption as its basis: the ceaseless expansion of the urban periphery has been detrimental to not only urban populations but also the planet at large, corroding its most valuable and scarce resource, land. ''Housing'' proffers redensification as the corrective measure to the failing expansionist approach toward urban planning. Gathered here are case studies of alternative social housing projects from the past century—all of which incorporate methods of redensification. They span the Weißenhofsiedlung Estate (1927) to architectural experiments in suburban Mexico as recent as 2017. These alternative developments have offered solutions to countries experiencing intense population growth and provided sanctuary for those who have lost their homes in natural disasters. Altogether, the projects evince that the problem of urban housing is inextricably bound with the inception and progression of modernism.

This collection, the first to feature Vachon's work, offers a record of this photographer's vision and of America's land and people as the country moved from the depths of the Depression to the dramatic mobilization for World War II. Vachon's portraits of white and black Americans are among the most affecting that FSA photographers produced; and his portrayals of the American landscape, from rural scenes to small towns and urban centers, present a remarkable visual account of these pivotal years, in a style that is transitional from Walker Evans to Robert Frank.

But what might the academic study of geography fail to teach us, and what relationships to the land might be revealed by reinvestigating the neglected knowledge practices of myth, history and legend? Michael Dames sets out to reconnect with the hallowed landscapes of Britain and Ireland, and finds them populated by ancient goddesses, strange rites, and embedded energies. As he voyages beneath the Neolithic immensity of Silbury Hill, past the chalk horses of Uffington, and the ravaged cliffs of Land’s End peninsular, Dames meets a wild community of holy cows, industrious bees, Sheila-na- Gigs, and Salmon women, channeling the peculiar folk tales they have to tell.
