Cabinet is an award-winning quarterly magazine of art and culture that confounds expectations of what is typically meant by the words "art," "culture," and sometimes even "magazine." Like the 17th-century cabinet of curiosities to which its name alludes, Cabinet is as interested in the margins of culture as its center. Presenting wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary content(...)

Résumé:
Cabinet is an award-winning quarterly magazine of art and culture that confounds expectations of what is typically meant by the words "art," "culture," and sometimes even "magazine." Like the 17th-century cabinet of curiosities to which its name alludes, Cabinet is as interested in the margins of culture as its center. Presenting wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary content in each issue through the varied formats of regular columns, essays, interviews, and special artist projects, Cabinet's hybrid sensibility merges the popular appeal of an arts periodical, the visually engaging style of a design magazine, and the in-depth exploration of a scholarly journal. Playful and serious, exuberant and committed, Cabinet's omnivorous appetite for understanding the world makes each of its issues a valuable sourcebook of ideas for a wide range of readers, from artists and designers to scientists and historians. In an age of increasing specialization, Cabinet looks to previous models of the well-rounded thinker to forge a new type of magazine for the intellectually curious reader of the future.

La synthèse qui est ici présentée dresse un panorama de l'art de cette période et en renouvelle l'approche : elle se propose en effet de replacer l'art carolingien au fil d'une progression plus ample volée, en se basant sur de nombreuses données inédites issues des recherches menées dans le champ de l'archéologie paléochrétienne et des arts du " premier " haut Moyen Age. Ainsi, la prise en compte des prémices, avec les réalisations importantes du règne de Pépin le Bref dès le milieu du VIIIe siècle, mais aussi l'analyse des œuvres produites dans la mouvance de Charles le Chauve dans les décennies 840-870, ou encore l'attention portée au mécénat des hauts dignitaires, conduiront à une réorientation de la réflexion sur le sujet. Enfin, l'accent mis sur l'étude de la finalité des œuvres permettra de mieux appréhender l'esprit des concepteurs de cet art.

Résumé:
Cities ruled the first half of the 20th century; the second half belonged to the suburbs. Will cities become dominant again? Can the recent decline of many suburbs be slowed? "Tomorrow’s cities, tomorrow’s suburbs" predicts a surprising outcome in the decades-long tug-of-war between urban hubs and suburban outposts. Planning scholars William H. Lucy and David L. Phillips document signs of resurgence in cities and interpret omens of decline in many suburbs. They offer an extensive analysis of the 2000 census, with insights into the influence of income disparities, housing age and size, racial segregation, immigration, and poverty. They also examine popular perceptions—and misperceptions—about safety and danger in cities, suburbs, and exurbs that affect settlement patterns. "Tomorrow’s cities, tomorrow’s suburbs" offers evidence that the decline of cities can continue to be reversed, tempered by a warning of a mid-life crisis looming in the suburbs. It also offers practical policies for local action, steps that planners, elected officials, and citizens can take to create an environment in which both cities and suburbs can thrive.

Résumé:
Saint-Laurent boulevard, a major thoroughfare crossing the heart of Montreal from north to south, has witnessed more than three centuries of history. It has experienced spectacular transformations and reversals, incarnating in turn every facet of Montreal's character, from rural to urban and from the early days of industrialization to the latest in multimedia. A gateway for immigrants and a window on the world, a haven for marginal Montrealers of every stripe, the "Main" has long served as the melting pot for peoples and cultures in Quebec. Through the vast and far-reaching metamorphoses that have shaped the "Main" since its very beginning, we see Montreal and Quebec as a whole emerge into the modern age. For the busy sidewalks and chaotic intersections of the "Main" gave birth to many of the social movements that have marked our world, from women's liberation to unionization and the fight for human dignity. The "Main" has also attracted an impressive pool of artistic talent and been an testing ground for new forms of expression, including film, Yiddish theater, French song, and Quebec burlesque.

Résumé:
The first major illustrated monograph in many years on the history of gardens, landscape design, and architecture, focusing on both the Western and Eastern traditions and their influences. This book surveys every period in garden design and landscape architecture, from classical antiquity and the medieval cloisters to the latest trends in modern design. From the Roman gardens at Hadrian’s villa to the modern work of landscape architects, historical and contemporary gardens are showcased with special attention to the relationship between gardens and houses. The informative text reveals the evolutions, transformations, influences, and trends that characterize these landscapes, putting into context their aesthetic appeal. Gardens are unique, reflecting the landscape, flora, and climate of their environments as well as the heritage, history, architectural styles, and influences of society. From the fountain gardens of Persia to the prairie-style gardens currently popular, from the Zen gardens of Buddhist temples to the Impressionist gardens in Giverny, the huge variety of gardens is a testament to our age-old desire to tame and refashion nature.

Résumé:
Michael Snow is one of Canada?s greatest living artists, widely acknowledged as one of the most significant figures in twentieth-century Canadian art. "Early Snow" focuses on the nascent stages of the artist?s career?- which is comparatively underexamined in art commentary and critical literature- ?and demonstrates how wide-ranging were his achievements in painting, drawing, sculpture, foldage, cinema, and photography. Snow?s first achievements may serve as a blueprint for his later career, but they also give ample proof of the creative heights he had already reached by the age of thirty-three. This book reveals a young man whose catholic interests in art and literature contributed to his uncanny ability to create profoundly original works of art. Perceptive essays by James King argue that these artworks are best approached in the context of Snow?s knowledge of modern European art (Paul Klee, Ben Nicholson, Alberto Giacometti) and contemporary American art (Willem de Kooning, Conrad Marca-Relli, Donald Judd, Marcel Duchamp), and that, ultimately, the work created during this era is about transformation.

Conceived and designed by Ma Yansong, founder of MAD Architects, MAD Rhapsody documents the buildings of this avant-garde architecture firm and traces the development of their ideas through associated practice including art, research, and exhibition projects. With photographs, drawings, and models, the book highlights 23 projects from the past six years, both built and in process. Known for their ',organic and dreamlike architecture'' that creates a dialogue with nature, earth, and sky, MAD projects reach all over the globe. At age 46, Ma Yansong is one of China’s best-known architects. His curvilinear, free-form, and futuristic designs are often compared to those of his mentor, Zaha Hadid. Ma’s greatest inspiration is nature; his opera house in the northern Chinese city of Harbin resembles a snow-capped mountain, while his master plan for the city of Nanjing calls for sloping buildings covered with vertical louvers that resemble waterfalls. Other projects include the Ordos Museum in the wilderness of Inner Mongolia, the Absolute Towers in Canada, and the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles.

Résumé:
Space influences us and we influence space. Within the infinite ''space of possibilities'' of architecture, PPAG architects are permanently searching for relevance and social utility, tracking down the architectural expression of the respective society, the ''necessary new'' in all its complexity. The exhibition is a plea for an unbiased, brave look at architecture and urban development. A view that sees development as a necessity, even if it surprises and irritates at first glance. Especially in view of the current global challenges, we need the courage to take alternative paths. The office's work is based on trust in the collective planning abilities; on the fact that through intensive engagement and thinking ahead, solutions can be found for a good future for all of us. The diversity of the''‘space of possibilities'' is presented in a special way in the exhibition of PPAG architects at the Aedes Architecture Forum. The projects presented push the boundaries and exhaust their realm, regardless of typology, scale, age, price range or realisation – in Ecuador, Northern Macedonia, Norway, Yakutsk, Vienna or Berlin.

Résumé:
In this volume, Ayala Levin charts the settler colonial imagination and practices that undergirded Israeli architectural development aid in Africa. Focusing on the ''golden age'' of Israel’s diplomatic relations in and throughout the continent from 1958 to 1973, Levin finds that Israel positioned itself as a developing-nation alternative in the competition over aid and influence between global North and global South. In analyses of the design and construction of prestigious governmental projects in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Ethiopia, Levin details how architects, planners, and a trade union--owned construction company staged Israel as a new center of nonaligned expertise. These actors and professionals paradoxically capitalized on their settler colonial experience in Palestine, refashioning it as an alternative to Western colonial expertise. Levin traces how Israel became involved in the modernization of governance, education, and agriculture in Africa, as well as how African leaders chose to work with Israel to forge new South-South connections. In so doing, she offers new ways of understanding the role of architecture as a vehicle of postcolonial development and in the mobilization of development resources.

Levin traces how Israel became involved in the modernization of governance, education, and agriculture in Africa, as well as how African leaders chose to work with Israel to forge new South-South connections. In so doing, she offers new ways of understanding the role of architecture as a vehicle of postcolonial development and in the mobilization of development resources.
