Résumé:
While Mies van der Rohe’s pavilion at the International Exposition in Barcelona in 1929 went unnoticed by most of the visitors to the fairgrounds, contemporary critics enthusiastically hailed it as the most convincing statement of the Modern Age. This book presents 100 selected texts about this much discussed building, written then and now: from the opening speech by the Spanish king, to newspaper articles and private letters, voices of contemporary architects, architecture critics and historians, and even a text by artist Ai Weiwei, who created an installation in the outdoor area of the pavilion in 2010.

Résumé:
Robertson’s unconventional history of the origins of the information age posits the filing cabinet as an information storage container, an 'automatic memory' machine that contributed to a new type of information labor privileging manual dexterity over mental deliberation. Gendered assumptions about women’s nimble fingers helped to naturalize the changes that brought(...)

Résumé:
Robertson’s unconventional history of the origins of the information age posits the filing cabinet as an information storage container, an 'automatic memory' machine that contributed to a new type of information labor privileging manual dexterity over mental deliberation. Gendered assumptions about women’s nimble fingers helped to naturalize the changes that brought women into the workforce as low-level clerical workers. The filing cabinet emerges from this unexpected account as a sophisticated piece of information technology and a site of gendered labor that with its folders, files, and tabs continues to shape how we interact with information and data in today’s digital world.

Résumé:
The voice of memory rings loud and clear on the pages of the new issue of 'AV Monographs', a compilation of conversations that Luis Fernández-Galiano has had over the years with ten architects recounting their respective lives and professional trajectories. Arranged by age of the speakers – from Frank Gehry, the most veteran of all, to Bjarke Ingels – and transcribed in the form of monologues, the interviews trace the biographical journey of each architect, from family origins, upbringing, and educational training to latest projects at the time of the dialogue, and are illustrated with the most characteristic works and projects of their career.

Résumé:
Taking as a point of departure Derrida's notion of "hostipitality" – that is the presence of hostility in all hospitality and hosting – this anthology brings together original contributions from artists, scholars, activists, poets, curators, and musicians who reflect on different experiences and notions of hospitality. In an age of flourishing resentments and antipathy towards all that seems conceptually or physically "strange"/ a "stranger," in a time when the historical violence of the guest (as a colonizer) over the host is reiterated and fortified; in an era that has turned hospitality into a neoliberal commodity, it becomes urgent to reconsider hospitality's gradients of power.

Résumé:
This volume presents a comprehensive study of Arabic letterforms, starting with a concise historical overview of their development and styles, and proceeding to the design and technological advances until the end of the 20th century. In a digital age when the widespread integration of computer technologies has brought text-based information into many facets of everyday life, it attempts to establish the foundations for Arabic type design by drawing lessons from past practices and aesthetic conventions. After all, it is crucial that the enduring traits that are relevant for innovation in future type design creations, functionality, and legibility are recorded, analysed, and retained.
