Résumé:
How many times have you heard the term “curate” in the past few years? But what exactly does it mean? Curating has been a key concept both in and outside the art world in the past few years, with the remit of what a curator does having changed and expanded with each new exhibition or biennale. With an emphasis on the "now" and the most recent exhibitions, this book examines the variety and richness of curating practices today, from public commissions such as Art Angel to experimental projects such as the Ghetto Biennale in Haiti, or the Rhizome digital archive.

Waste (object lessons)

Résumé:
Though we try to imagine otherwise, waste is every object, plus time. Whatever else an object is, it's also waste-or was, or will be. All that is needed is time or a change of sentiment or circumstance. Waste is not merely the field of discarded objects, but the name we give to our troubled relationship with the decaying world outside ourselves. Waste focuses on those(...)

Though we try to imagine otherwise, waste is every object, plus time. Whatever else an object is, it's also waste-or was, or will be. All that is needed is time or a change of sentiment or circumstance. Waste is not merely the field of discarded objects, but the name we give to our troubled relationship with the decaying world outside ourselves. Waste focuses on those waste objects that most fundamentally shape our lives and also attempts to understand our complicated emotional and intellectual relationships to our own refuse: nuclear waste, climate debris, pop-culture rubbish, digital detritus, and more.

Résumé:
The Printed Picture traces the changing technology of picture-making from the Renaissance to the present, focusing on the vital role of images in multiple copies. From woodblocks to modern color photographs, from engravings to bar codes, from daguerreotypes to today's digital wonders, the book succinctly examines the full range of pictorial processes. Exploring how pictures look by describing how they are made, author Richard Benson reaches fresh conclusions about what pictures can mean. Presented as a series of one-page essays opposite the pictures they examine, the book retains the engaging, informal style of Benson's celebrated seminars at Yale University.

Résumé:
With 117.3 million people displaced worldwide by mid-2025 – double the number a decade ago – this book investigates how contemporary spatial and environmental practice is entangled with illegalised migration. It examines the material regimes that keep displaced populations at bay through case studies from global migration “hotspots”, tracing how movement and resettlement are denied through border walls, militarised zones, detention systems, restrictive laws, digital tools, and forced relocation. Exposing architecture’s complicity with power, the book identifies sites of resistance and argues for architecture as a force opposing division while protecting the right to live in dignity.

Résumé:
Born in Paris, Pierre di Sciullo is a central figure in both French graphic design and typography. At the international level, he is one of the pioneers who first designed digital typefaces. His truculent, literary, and at times insolent work explores various paths, from an infinite taste for logic and a total absence of presumption about letterforms and type history, to the glyph observed from its geometry and colorimetry, or the permanent oscillations between a rigorous methodology and poetic results. This monograph of Di Sciullo’s work takes the form of an extensive, precisely detailed and broadly illustrated interview.

Résumé:
The Artful Plan explores the potentials of architectural drawing at a turning point where digitization is setting drawing free from its conventional function of conveying technical information. What can architectural drawing be today? What new options does it offer for creativity in design? Which new ways does it open for including knowledge and methods from the arts, academic research and current architectural practice? The Artful Plan lays out the theory and practice of alternative innovation in architectural drawing in three parts: reconfiguring the conventional drawing; drawing responding to the influence of the digital; and the expanded field of drawing today.

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:
'Strange Networks' debuts a new body of artwork and studies by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Thom Mayne. Emerging from the same interests that shape the design philosophy of his internationally renowned architecture firm Morphosis, the works explore the tension between organizational systems and chance behavior, between the manual and digital, and between individual and collective authorship. Reproduced in detail, the intricate lithographic prints and digitally derived sculptural works -- or 'drawdels' for how they combine the notion of drawing and modelling - -embody a search for forms and methods resonant with our contemporary state of instability and hyper-connection.

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.
