Résumé:
Muriel Cooper (1925–1994) was the pioneering designer who created the MIT Press colophon (or logo)—seven bars that represent the lowercase letters “mitp” as abstracted books on a shelf. She designed a modernist monument, the encyclopedic volume The Bauhaus (1969), and the controversial first edition of Learning from Las Vegas (1972). She used an offset press as an artistic tool, worked with a large-format Polaroid camera, and had an early vision of e-books. Cooper began her four-decade career at MIT by designing printed flyers for the Office of Publications; her final projects were digital. This illustrated volume documents Cooper’s career in abundant detail, with prints, sketches, book covers, posters, mechanicals, student projects, and photographs, from her work in design, teaching, and research at MIT.

Résumé:
« Les architectes ne font pas des bâtiments, ils les imaginent et les dessinent. » Cet ouvrage explore des situations qui troublent la frontière entre conception et construction qui met en perspective une valorisation du''faire'' à l'œuvre en architecture à travers différentes pratiques : l’enseignement par la production à l’échelle 1:1, les expérimentations matérielles en situation de construction, le réemploi de matériaux, la fabrication digitale, la construction en terre crue ou encore l'autoconstruction. / ''Architects do not make buildings, they design them. '' This book explores situations which challenge this division between design and construction. It investigates the growing prominence of making architecture through a series of case studies: design-build pedagogies, material experimentations in the design process, the use of reclaimed materials, digital fabrication, the crafts attached to raw-earth construction, or practices of self building.

Résumé:
The research exhibition ''BioMedia: The age of media with life-like behavior'' at ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe presents works that intersect the realms of art, science, and technology. The media systems on show, which range from digital, computer-generated, and computer-simulated systems to complex adaptive robots and interactive installations, simulate various different aspects of life beyond movement and raise fundamental questions about the interaction between human and non-human beings and what inorganic life might mean in the future. The term ''BioMedia'' or biomimetic media is used here to refer to media that exhibit life-like forms of behaviour. Over sixty artists have contributed works illustrating the exhibition themes. The book accompanying the show focuses on the artworks, which are described in detail in richly illustrated texts.

''I used my first camera, an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic with 20-, 28-, 50-, 135- and 300mm Super Takumar lenses, until I bought a Leica M4 in 1971. From then on I used the Leica with 35- and 50mm Summicron lenses exclusively. I printed only very rarely and very little, and for the next forty-odd years I had these photographs, taken in 1968-77, only in the form of contact(...)

Thanks to digital, I saw them properly as 'enlargements' for the first time in 2012 after I had scanned the negatives and post-processed the files.'' - DN Dragan Novakovic is a Serbian photographer born in 1946. He bought his first camera in 1968 and taught himself to develop and print. He photographed London and Northern England, mostly as a hobby.

Résumé:
"Living systems" surveys a wide array of innovative approaches to material technologies within the field of landscape architecture. The selected projects and materials exhibit a contemporary demand for technological landscapes and the collaboration between designers, engineers, scientists and ecologists. The book redefines the conventional boundaries of landscape materiality by focusing on growth, flow, metabolism, climate, and atmospheric phenomena. Projects and materials are cross-referenced according to performance criteria, processes, and properties. Each of the 36 international projects and 23 material technologies is presented with drawing details, construction photographs and an analysis of the various complex systems featured, such as vertical growth structures, flood prevention, stormwater infiltration, erosion control, and the integration of digital media. Projects featured include works by West8, GROSS.MAX, Weiss-Manfredi Architects, Field Operations, Kathryn Gustafson, and Vogt Landschaftarchitekten.

Résumé:
Johan Huizinga’s phrase "magic circle" circumscribes cultural fields whose logic manifests itself in rules and rituals that mark a distance from normative societal orders. At the same time, the economic and political realities surrounding the "magic circle" act upon it, are renegotiated within it, and sometimes result in rule changes of the sort that this issue of Texte zur kunst scrutinizes by comparing two of the practices Huizing approaches with his concept: art and sports. The contributions examine a variety of historical moments and cultural phenomena, including Impressionism’s revolt against the academic disciplining of art; physical-performance-focused artistic practices that dismantle misogynistic traditions; platform capitalism’s effects on the politics of the body supported by digital technology; and the use of technically generated imagery to enforce fairness in sports competition.
