Résumé:
The Aga Khan Award for Architecture was established by His Highness the Aga Khan in 1977 to identify and encourage excellence in architecture and other forms of intervention in the built environment of societies where Muslims have a significant presence. The Award is given every three years and recognises all types of building projects that affect today’s built environment. The book presents the shortlist of 19 projects including the winners. What these projects in their variety across culturally diverse portions of the globe have in common is a commitment to design excellence despite constraints of budget, resources, climate, technology, and politics. They share this commitment as one of the necessary tools for societal betterment. The following five projects received the Aga Khan Award for Architecture 2010 : Wadi Hanifa Wetlands, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Revitalisation of the Hypercentre of Tunis, Tunisia; Madinat Al-Zahra Museum, Cordoba, Spain; Ipekyol Textile Factory, Edirne, Turkey; Bridge School, Xiashi, Fujian, China.

Résumé:
Chronicling the sometimes doomed but persistently heroic efforts of small groups of artists to reclaim public space and time, this publication describes the trend towards collectivity manifested in the visual art world during the past decade, and the small forms of resistance to digital disembodiment and the hegemony of the entertainment/media/culture industry. For all its faults, Kraus argues, the art world remains the last frontier for the desire to live differently.

Résumé:
Minoru Nomata paints fantastical, impossible buildings and structures, often towering over the landscape; he sets them in typological series that are somehow reminiscent of the photographs of Bernd and Hiller Becher. Nomata’s enthralling creations – towers that are half steel and half jungle, balloon-powered factories – are rendered in sober, autumnal shades that lend them majesty, and recall one of Nomata’s own inspirations – German Romanticism, and Caspar David Friedrich. Four essays explore his achievements.
