Résumé:
First published in 1982, German architect Oswald Mathias Ungers' ''City metaphors'' juxtaposes more than 100 various city maps throughout history with images of flora and fauna and other images from science and nature. Ungers assigns each a title- a single descriptive word printed in both English and German. In Ungers' vision, the divisions of Venice are transformed into(...)

Résumé:

Ungers assigns each a title- a single descriptive word printed in both English and German. In Ungers' vision, the divisions of Venice are transformed into a handshake and the 1809 plan of St Gallen becomes a womb. Ungers writes in his foreword, “Without a comprehensive vision reality will appear as a mass of unrelated phenomenon and meaningless facts, in other words, totally chaotic. In such a world it would be like living in a vacuum; everything would be of equal importance; nothing could attract our attention; and there would be no possibility to utilize the mind.” A classic of creative cartography and visual thinking, ''City metaphors'' is also an experiment in conscious vision-building.

Résumé:
Until recently, thanks to the unforgiving geometric rigors of modernism, biomorphism in design and architecture was seen a purely decorative feature - as in Art Nouveau, for example. This publication turns this idea on its head, offering a glimpse into the future of architectural design, in which the veins of leaves, formations of foam, Celtic knotwork and even hair braiding can be transformed into viable structures through the wonders of digital design technology. For the architect and researcher Lars Spuybroek, such natural, ornamental and folkloristic pattern could entirely replace standardized geometric design to determine the structural basis and aesthetic character of tomorrow's buildings. Here, Spuybroek presents both a theoretical framework and an inspiring taxonomy of patterns and structures, followed by more than 100 illustrated designs for skyscrapers and façades based on organizational principles ranging from rose windows to knitting patterns.

Taking the vein of environmental consciousness running through Wyse's work, the authors stress key works that disclose the human folly that so often underlies environmental disaster such as: the Super Shows Presents series that began in the late 1960s; the elaborate tableaus depicting the inventive antics of the Rutherford siblings from the mid-1970s; and the pointillist paintings, where troubled fish and trees try to escape their spoiled environments from the mid-1980s onward.

Résumé:
Moments spent in elevators, check-ins at airports, subway rides-these are all examples of the kind of "in-between" time that fascinates Walead Beshty and supplies material for his photographs. "In-between time" applies to civic space, too-depopulated modernist housing developments that sit precariously between evacuation and demolition, plants, weeds and vegetation on isolated highway medians, or abandoned shopping malls. More recently, Beshty's adventures in "the in-between" have become a means of production, as he makes creative use of such mundane procedures as air travel or sending a package. This monograph presents a ten-year overview of Walead Beshty's approach to photographic and sculptural representation, and contains newly commissioned essays by Suzanne Hudson and Nicolas Bourriaud, as well as a conversation between Bob Nickas and Beshty.

Par l’entremise d’une observation attentive et critique de ce qui fait image dans le quotidien, l’artiste exploite les limites de la perception du réel à travers des procédés graphiques et photographiques. Il s’intéresse au contenu polysémique de l’image médiatisée et de l’objet culturel. L’imagerie aussi bien que les dispositifs mis en place par l’artiste répondent par une certaine dérision à une observation sensible de notre société de la vitesse et de l’hyperconsommation. Cette première monographie témoigne d’une exposition bilan présentée à travers le Canada. Gwenaël Bélanger a participé à un grand nombre d’expositions notamment au Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal et au Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec. Une co-édition avec Expression.
