Résumé:
''As Far as You Can See'', presented by COMMERCE, is the first comprehensive collection of Erik Kessels’s books, spanning from 1997 to today – including his latest, ''Incomplete Encyclopaedia of Touch''. This richly illustrated volume traces over two decades of Kessels’s artistic, editorial, and photographic explorations. Internationally known for his work with vernacular photography and visual storytelling, Kessels has crafted a body of work that captures the human, the everyday, and the absurd - one book at a time. The publication includes a new text by critic and curator Francesco Zanot, structured as a series of concise reflections - one for each book - offering a fragmented yet cohesive insight into Kessels’s evolving visual language. Designed by Cabinet Milano, the book features a modular layout that integrates video stills made in collaboration with Riccardo Ruffolo and Enrico Zanetti, also part of the accompanying exhibition.

Résumé:
Janette Laverrière. Née en 1909 en Suisse, Janette Laverrière suit des études à l'Allgemeine Gewerbeschule de Bâle et une formation dans le cabinet de son père, célèbre architecte. En 1931, elle intègre l'agence de Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann et épouse le décorateur Maurice Pré, avec qui elle travaille jusqu'en 1945. À l'Exposition internationale des arts et techniques de 1937 à Paris, ils réalisent Le Pied-à-terre d'un archéologue aux côtés de Maxime Old. Séparée de Maurice Pré, Janette Laverrière s'oriente vers un mobilier économique et novateur. Dès 1950, elle entre dans les collections du Mobilier national. Ses chantiers les plus importants sont l'aménagement du palais présidentiel de Niamey et l'Hôpital suisse de Paris. Dans son travail, couvrant une grande partie du XXe siècle, on retrouve une quête de simplicité et une poésie qui se révèlent particulièrement dans les miroirs qu'elle n'a cessé de créer de 1936 à aujourd'hui.

Résumé:
This issue of Harvard Design Magazine investigates and unpacks the contents, containers, and systems of storage that organize our world. Storage is the aggregation and containment of the material and immaterial stuff of culture; but also the safeguarding—or hoarding—of energy and tools for some imagined future purpose. How does all this stuff mask or overcompensate for economic and ecological bankruptcy? Is storage about greed or need? Storage, perhaps, is everything we can live without but insist on living with. "Shelf Life" explores what’s inside the box (shed, tank, urn, vault, crypt, crate, case, pot, bag, vat, morgue, safe, bin, archive, warehouse, cabinet, cellar, cemetery, depository, locker, freezer, landfill, library). Even as we attempt to reduce and recycle, the stuff that we dispose of also needs to be stored. Where do we put it? Our planet is now a saturated receptacle. This warehouse is full, and we’re all inside it.

Résumé:
"The paper sculpture book" is published on the occasion of the traveling exhibition "The paper sculpture show", organized by Cabinet magazine, Independant Curators International (ICI), and SculptureCenter, and curated by ICI. Artworks meant to be cut out by the reader and assembled using very basic materials such as tape and rubber bands have been designed by 29 established and emerging contemporary artists, including The Art Guys, Minerva Cuevas, Seong Chun, Nicole Eisenman, Spencer Finch, Rachel Harrison, Stephen Hendee, Patrick Killoran, Glenn Ligon, Helen Mirra, David Shrigley, Sarah Sze, Chris Ware and Allan Wexler. Fred Tomaselli merges images from a birding book and an outdoor-clothing catalogue to create an ironic yet beautiful aviary. Janine Antoni's Crumple provides precise instructions for recreating a crumpled ball of paper, while Luca Buvoli invites the reader to take a pop-up flying lesson from the mysterious Professor M.a.S.

Résumé:
Périphériques’ frequent participation in the international ArchiLab exhibition in Orléans and their contribution to the Architecture Biennale 2002 in Venice are sure signs of the national and international recognition which they are receiving. In 2000, Birkhäuser first published an overview of their architectural work entitled M.I.N.N.E.S.O.T.A. now out of print, and the time has come to document their latest works. This new volume describes Périphériques´ most recent buildings and projects. Amongst the realised buildings are the Maisons Icone and MR, the transformation of the Place Furstenberg in Paris, the Café Charbon in Paris, and no doubt the high point is the Cabinet d’art graphique at the Centre Georges Pompidou. Also included are a number of fascinating new projects such as the Small Towers in Tsumari, Japan, the concept for the Habitat shops in Paris and the urban plans for the new Parisian Cité Universitaire.

Résumé:
Alors que Milan renaissait des ruines de l'après-guerre, la ville comptait deux édifices emblématiques : la Torre Velasca, œuvre du cabinet BBPR, et le gratte-ciel Pirelli, conçu par Gio Ponti. Une nouvelle ville s'est développée autour, grâce surtout à la construction du réseau de métro. Les vides laissés par la guerre ont été rapidement comblés. Cette volonté de modernisation a également touché les principales gares ferroviaires, fréquentées quotidiennement par les travailleurs résidant en banlieue. Ce fut l'âge d'or de l'architecture milanaise, lorsque des professionnels tels que Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Vico Magistretti, Luigi Moretti et Vittoriano Viganò ont créé une esthétique de la modernité qui est encore admirée et étudiée aujourd'hui. Paolo Monti fut peut-être le plus grand chroniqueur de cette époque : il en a exploré les aspects les plus évidents, sans pour autant négliger la qualité des détails de construction, sur fond d'une ville en mutation décennie après décennie.

Résumé:
From the Tower of Babel to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, from European cathedrals to the Twin Towers and the currently scandalous Freedom Tower, highrises have always been a symbol of mankind's cultural aspirations and technological achievements. The biennial International Highrise Award specifies that an ideal contemporary tower should make exceptional use of aesthetics, design and technology, and show cost-effectiveness, sustainability and integration into town planning. This album of the 2006 contenders honors foremost the winners, Jean Nouvel and Fermin Vasquez, who designed the Torre Agbar building in Barcelona. The Agbar Tower's distinctive rounded crown had already earned it a nominee spot in Cabinet Magazine's Most Phallic Building in the World Contest. Here, the Highrise Award's more serious honor cites the building's "expressive shape," "pulsating dynamism" and "a multi-layer outer skin that generates its varied and exciting appearance." Runners-up include Santiago Calatrava's Turning Torso in Malmo, Sweden.

Résumé:
German designer Konstantin Grcic, winner of the Compasso d`Oro (Milan, 2001) among other awards, is a figure in the international scene. He has received numerous commissions from such prestigious names in the design industry as Authentics, Flos, iittala, Krups, Magis and Muji. From his initial training as a cabinet-maker, Grcic retains the hands-on approach and sensitivity to materials of a craftsman. His foray into contemporary design at the Royal College of Art in London, added a new dimension to his fascination with making things. As a result, every one of his products is informed by his research into the history of design and architecture, and a passion for technology. The book presents the work of KGID, show-casing a remarkable portfolio and offering an insight into the design process through the various stages of a product's development. Conceived by Florian Böhm and Konstantin Grcic, and illustrated with sketches, computer renderings and photographs.

Résumé:
From his first great design masterpiece, the Red-Blue Chair, to his final design for the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Gerrit Rietveld created a significant body of work and left a remarkable legacy. His simple yet dynamic design style has greatly affected international furniture design and has made a significant contribution to the history of architecture. His unconventional approach and extraordinary furniture, hailed by Theo van Doesburg as 'the new sculpture', inspired many of his contemporaries just as it continues to inspire today's designers; he has he has been cited as a source of inspiration by designers ranging from Verner Panton to Konstantin Grcic. This monograph is structured chronologically and illustrated with photographs and sketches of Reitveld's furniture design and his twenty-odd architectural projects. Following Rietveld from his humble beginnings as a cabinet-maker to his final years as a world-renowned architect, this book will present both his lesser-known work and his most celebrated.

Résumé:
Les photographies possèdent l'étrange pouvoir d'orienter notre vision du monde et d'influencer notre manière de percevoir la réalité. Pour témoigner de l'influence à la fois profonde et unique qu'exerce la photographie sur la culture et la société, Photo Icons passe les grandes étapes de l'histoire de la photographie au microscope. Chaque chapitre de cette édition spéciale se concentre sur une seule image, décrite et analysée en détail, en la replaçant dans son contexte esthétique, historique et artistique. Le livre s'ouvre sur les toutes premières images durablement fixées (l'héliographie de Nicéphore Niépce, vue prise de la fenêtre de son cabinet de travail, obtenue en 1827 suite à une exposition de 8 heures, ainsi que la célèbre scène de rue de Louis Daguerre, prise en 1839) pour conduire le lecteur jusqu'à l'avant-garde de la photographie des années 1920, comme la Mère migrante de Dorothea Lange (1936) et le Baiser de l'Hôtel de ville de Robert Doisneau (1950), jusqu'à la " nouvelle photographie européenne " de Martin Parr.
