Résumé:
This publication presents the various garden types from the perspective of contemporary landscape and garden design. They point the way toward the essential compositional principles, the plants most commonly utilized and their most characteristic uses, and the possibilities for employing them in contemporary projects, thus providing readers with a source of inspiration for their own designs and creations. The panorama of The Chinese Garden stretches from the surviving historical gardens all the way to modern examples as the garden at the Bank of China in Hong Kong (designed by I. M. Pei), Ai Weiwei s Yiwu Riverbank Park, the Garden of Flowering Fragrance in the area of Los Angeles, California, and the Garden of Awakening Orchids in Portland, Oregon.

Résumé:
Driving the Human is a catalyst for experimentation, shaping sustainable and collective futures that combine science, technology, and the arts in a transdisciplinary and collaborative approach. This publication documents all milestones of the three-year project, contextualizing and expanding its discourse through expert voices and emerging creative visions. At its heart are seven prototypes for eco-social renewal, each proposing new ways to engage with one another and with what surrounds us, at the surface of the planet and beyond. They explore ways in which AI could mitigate climate change; immerse us in new forms of community through ancestral agricultural knowledge; employ fiction as a tool for new modes of multispecies conviviality; or create embodied connections to understand human impact in endangered territories.

"You Had Better Make Some Noise" brings together the words of social activists, revolutionaries, artists, writers, musicians, philosophers, politicians, and more - galvanizing us all to do the same. Familiar figures - Thomas Paine to Bertrand Russell, Augustine to Gloria Steinem, Harvey Milk to Ai Weiwei, James Baldwin to Margaret Mead - are joined by a chorus of voices that have made their own indelible marks on the legacy of protest and progress. "When the history of our times is written, will we be remembered as the generation that turned our backs in a moment of global crisis or will it be recorded that we did the right thing?" Nelson Mandela asked that question, and this positive and reinforcing book urges us to heed the call.

Résumé:
How does media architecture distribute suspicion and trust? What is a collage of media architecture? How is media architecture vectored? How can media architecture address privilege? These questions and conceptual provocations aim to challenge the binary of techno-optimism and technological agoraphobia, offering a platform for developing new, critically and contextually rooted theories that media architecture might grab hold of. Intentionally open-ended, ''Provocations on Media Architecture'' brings together 21 thought leaders across architecture, visual arts, design, curation, academia and public policy to address these ideas and themes. Authors respond with images and brief texts incorporating the perspective of their own creative and scholarly practice. Entries range from descriptions of relevant artworks and design projects to reflections spawned from first-person encounters with media architecture in situ, scholarly analyses and AI-assisted theory.

Résumé:
In this book, the technologist and writer Xiaowei Wang explores the political and social entanglements of technology in rural China. Their discoveries force them to challenge the standard idea that rural culture and people are backward, conservative, and intolerant. Instead, they find that rural China has not only adapted to rapid globalization but has actually innovated the technology we all use today. From pork farmers using AI to produce the perfect pig, to disruptive luxury counterfeits and the political intersections of e-commerce villages, Wang unravels the ties between globalization, technology, agriculture, and commerce in unprecedented fashion. Accompanied by humorous “Sinofuturist” recipes that frame meals as they transform under new technology, this publication is an original and probing look into innovation, connectivity, and collaboration in the digitized rural world.

The Gwangju Folly project began in 2011 as part of the first Gwangju Design Biennale led by co-artistic directors Seung H-Sang and Ai Weiwei. Following its second edition in 2013 with Nikolaus Hirsch, 2016 Gwangju Folly III is conceived by Eui-Young Chunand and introduces a look at new follies in the urban space of Gwangju in South Korea. “See, Play, Eat, Walk”, presents four follies, all newly commissioned works from architects and artists challenging the perception of public space: View Folly, GD (Gwangju Dutch) Folly, Cook Folly, Fun Pun Folly and Mini Folly as a sub-folly. Gwangju Folly III perceives follies as a new and creative spatial alternative that is able to overcome the contextual limitations of existing urban cities and facilitate greater communication with the public.

Résumé:
A 1976 performance by American artist Barbara T. Smith (born 1931), "I Am Abandoned" featured a conversation in real time between two psychoanalytic computer programs (two of the earliest chatbots) alongside a staging of Goya’s "The Naked Maja," in which the artist projected an image of the famous painting on top of a clothed female model. This publication includes a full transcript of the "conversation" between the two programs, documentation and ephemera from the performance, and Smith’s reflections on the night. To revisit I Am Abandoned today is to see the critical and liberating potential that art can have when it intervenes in new technologies. Against today’s backdrop of AI, Smith’s early work with emerging technologies, and in this case chatbots, is prophetic and hints at the contemporary conversation around the gendered and racialized machinic biases of our current computational landscape.

Résumé:
Un'opera che raccoglie e cataloga tutti i libri fotografici di Gabriele Basilico, coprendo un'attività quasi trentennale, dal 1978 al 2006. Ogni libro è presentato con la copertina originale, i dati bibliografici e una foto tratta dal volume. Pagina dopo pagina, foto dopo foto, salta all'occhio la ricchezza e la varietà dei soggetti scelti da Basilico per i suoi scatti: dalle periferie milanesi della fine degli anni Settanta, alle balere emiliane, alle industrie e ai porti, fino ad arrivare al centro di Beirut nei primi anni Novanta e alla nuova anima di Berlino. Questo libro si pone come uno strumento utile a studiosi ma anche a semplici appassionati di grande fotografia ed è un'occasione speciale per fare il punto sulla carriera di un fotografo che con i suoi scatti ha costruito la nostra percezione del paesaggio contemporaneo.
