Résumé:
Published to accompany an exhibition at the Technisches Museum, Vienna. "Blue. Inventing the River Danube" combines a cultural history of the river with an artistic exploration of its present. The journey begins in Vienna and continue eastwards along the river for two thousand kilometres. Historical photograhs tell the story of how technologyreinvented the Danube from the middle of the 19th century onwards. They depict the development of the continent's second largest river, and its cultural and economic significance for central and south-easthern Europe. The river as it is today is the theme of the artistic work by Iosif Kiraly (Bucharest)and Sophie Ristelhueber (Paris). In winter and spring 2004/2005 the two photographers travelled along the Danube, eastwards and westwards. Kiraly visited places that have been shaped by the industrial age. Ristelhueber followed the Danube along its last few miles to Sulina, the place where the Danube ends and the Black Sea begins.

Résumé:
Disapproved of by the critics and extremely nonconformist, Carlo Mollino expressed himself through his architectural designs, his furniture and interiors, in a language assimilated from futurism and surrealism. The influence of architects ranging from Gaudí to Mendelsohn, from Aalto to Le Corbusier, can be seen in his highly individual designs. Projects such as the sledge-lift station at Lago Nero, the Teatro Regio in Turin and the Lutrario ballroom demonstrated his exceptional powers of imagination. The interaction between Mollino’s professional activities and his many interests, which included aeronautics, downhill racing, set design and eroticism. With the demolition of his massive masterpiece, the Ippica in Turin, and the destruction of his most prestigious interiors, all that remains today of Mollino’s work is his furniture. Drawing on rare photographs and documents, this important monograph reconstructs Mollino’s work through more than eighty interiors and pieces of furniture spanning his career, pieces built with such bravura that they often resemble sculpture more than works of industrial design.

Résumé:
Saarinen's buildings are famous worldwide: the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the TWA terminal in JFK Airport, Dulles Airport, outside Washington D.C., the CBS Building in New York, the General Motors Technical Center in Michigan, the US Embassy in London, and many other landmarks. Equally celebrated are his furniture designs, including the Tulip Table and Womb Chair. While Saarinen's exuberant, even expressionistic, forms were lightning rods for many critics, his unique personal style is now much admired, making him a key figure for many designers practicing today. Saarinen's was a career of innovation. His airport terminals combined the poetry of sculpture with daring structural feats and raganizational genius; his pioneering industrial complexes for GM, IBM, and Bell Labs brought rational modernism to corporate America; and his furniture and residential buildings conveyed an optimistic, humane vision for the future. This illustrated monograph spans Saarinen's entire career, including his drawings, models, most important built works, and furniture.

Résumé:
In her first book, ''How to do nothing,'' Jenny Odell wrote about the importance of disconnecting from the ''attention economy'' to spend time in quiet contemplation. But what if you don’t have time to spend? In order to answer this seemingly simple question, Odell took a deep dive into the fundamental structure of our society and found that the clock we live by was built for profit, not people. This is why our lives, even in leisure, have come to seem like a series of moments to be bought, sold, and processed ever more efficiently. Odell shows us how our painful relationship to time is inextricably connected not only to persisting social inequities but to the climate crisis, existential dread, and a lethal fatalism. This book offers us different ways to experience time—inspired by pre-industrial cultures, ecological cues, and geological timescales—that can bring within reach a more humane, responsive way of living.

Résumé:
For some of us, the family is a source of love and support. But for many others, the family is a place of private horror, coercion, and personal domination. In a capitalist society, the private family carries the impossible demands of interpersonal care and social reproductive labor. Can we imagine a different future? In ''Family abolition'', author M.E. O'Brien uncovers the history of struggles to create radical alternatives to the private family. O'Brien traces the changing family politics of racial capitalism in the industrial cities of Europe and the slave plantations and settler frontier of North America, explaining the rise and fall of the housewife-based family form. From early Marxists to Black and queer insurrectionists to today's mass protest movements, O'Brien finds revolutionaries seeking better ways of loving, caring, and living. ''Family abolition'' takes us through the past and present of family politics into a speculative future of the commune, imagining how care could be organized in a free society.

The introduction outlines the unique tension defining photography--that it shows a segment of the world and simultaneously expresses a subject's particular view of this world. This tension is the source of the medium's unique creative potential and its complex relation to truth. Stahel provides a philosophical perspective on these issues by placing them in an epistemological, social, and historical context. Chapters on industrial photography, staged and conceptual photography, and the current crisis of photojournalism provide a panoramic overview of the possibilities and challenges of photography in all of its variety, from the casual snapshot to art and commercial photography. This profound and readable essay, one of the few daring enough to address the nature of photography, is destined to become a standard work, a must read for anyone interested in thinking about photography.

Résumé:
In recent years metal as a construction material has been experiencing a renaissance. Its diverse qualities and versatility mean that it is an ideal material for many different applications. Gone are the days when metal was only used for the roofing and facades of industrial sheds. In the meantime architecture and industry have discovered its aesthetic qualities, using it to cover theatres, museums, and exhibition buildings with shimmering layers of copper and titanium. It enables extravagant forms to be constructed, and even in low-cost, prefabricated buildings, metal can be used in new and interesting ways. It has become an integral factor in creating intelligent architectural solutions which meet the requirements of clients, investors and architects. ”Metal architecture” documents some 21 international projects which show not only the creative elements but also the economic advantages of metal. Of particular note are the Drive-Inn Restaurant in Slovenia, loft apartments in Los Angeles, and the harbour control tower in Lisbon.

A contemporary of Kathe Kollwitz and George Grosz, his "novels-without-words"--completely composed of woodcuts--have been neglected in the States. Here, 165 striking woodcuts generate the visual narrative of a young man's initiation into the urban milieu. The raw power and diversity of the city's day to day events continually expand his understanding of life's possibilities. The hero's fascination with the city's abundance of art and culture, political debate and industrial glory combine with observations on an equal profusion of poignant social trauma. The protagonist travels to distant lands; this journey of vibrant percipience propels him toward an enlarged comprehension of his role in a world of good and evil, love and tenderness and clashing social interests. Mann's effusive introduction discusses Masereel's life and influences and details the ideas that motivated and enliven this vivid work.

LAR seeks to generate unprecedented spaces, explore new structures and geometries, and to implement new materials and construction methods. “Translation” divides the projects of LCM and LAR into three categories: 'Fluid Bodies' are long-lasting private projects, designed for specific situations and built with high-tech resources; 'Revised Boxes' are buildings of a more public nature, whose technology is based on industrial products. The Inbursa Bank building, located on one of Mexico City's most prestigious avenues, the Paseo de la Reforma, has a façade of laminated glass that becomes opaque or transparent depending on the visitors physical position; 'Boxes', the third category of projects, combines rapidly applicable, cheap low-tech architecture generated from commercial wholesale products, like the facade of the Cinna Bar which LCM gave a new skin of red-tinted glass.
