An in-depth essay by Stefan Ripplinger places Tränenmeer within Roth’s œuvre as a whole, and an entertaining interview by Barbara Wien with the collector and gallery owner Erica Ebinger provides an enlightening insight into her intense friendship with Dieter Roth as well as background information on how the work came about. An incomparable treasure trove on Lucerne, which is not only of interest to those in central Switzerland but, first and foremost, is addressed to Dieter Roth’s collectors around the world.

Résumé:
Writing the City into Being is Bremner’s collection of essays, spanning more than a decade of work on Johannesburg. It is both an unflinching analysis of the characteristics of a city and a work of imagination – a bringing of the evasive city into being through writing. Johannesburg has become a touchstone in critical thinking on the development of the twenty-first-century city, attracting scholars from around the world who seek to understand how cities are changing in the face of urban migration in all its myriad forms and the inflow of foreign capital and interest. Writing the City into Being is an important book for those seeking to understand cities in a rapidly changing and fragmenting world. Lindsay Bremner is a guide to the city of Johannesburg, and one of its most incisive commentators.

En France, où se déroule l'essentiel sa carrière après 1945, il est l'auteur de plusieurs ensembles de logements dans lesquels il parvient à concilier industrialisation, langage classique et composition urbaine. La rénovation du quartier de l'église de Pantin, son opération la plus importante, a reçu le label "Patrimoine XXe" en décembre 2008.

Consequently, it offers an understanding of contemporary conditions and phenomena, ranging from the ubiquity of landmark buildings to the celebrity status of architects. It concerns the period spanning from 1966 to the first years of the current century – a period which saw radical change in economy, politics, and culture and a period in which architecture radically transformed, substituting the alleged dreariness of modernism with spectacle.

Résumé:
Bringing together the reflections of an architectural theorist and a philosopher, this book encourages philosophers and architects, scholars and designers alike, to reconsider what they do as well as what they can do in the face of challenging times. It does so by exploring the notion that architecture and design can make for a distinctive form of ethical investigation. The book is less concerned with absolutist understandings of the two components of ethics, a theory of ‘the good’ and a theory of ‘the right’, than with remaining open to multiple relations between ideas about the built environment, design practices and the plurality of kinds of human subjects (inhabitants, individuals and communities) accommodated by buildings and urban spaces. This book aims to change the way people commonly think about ethics, not only in relation to the built environment, but to themselves, their ways of thinking and modes of behaviour.
