Résumé:
Over a five-year period, a modest poster board hung in a Minneapolis neighbourhood; it became a barometer for experimental typographic practice within the global design community. This dense volume documents the entire project, which was curated by Erik Brandt, and features works ranging from well-known designers to talented students. Conceptually approached like the ‘Ficciones Typografika’ project, the book is an expressive and visceral experience, rather than an encyclopaedic documentation. It reproduces every installation of work along with an overprint of the original posters. With a text by Ben DuVall and a conversation between Brandt and Paul Schmelzer.

Résumé:
Beauty in architecture matters again. This issue of AD posits that after 80 years of aggressive suppression of engagement with aesthetics, the temporarily dormant preoccupation with beauty is back. This is evidenced by a current cultural shift from the supposedly objective to an emerging trust in the subjective – a renewed fascination for aesthetics supported by new(...)

Résumé:
Beauty in architecture matters again. This issue of AD posits that after 80 years of aggressive suppression of engagement with aesthetics, the temporarily dormant preoccupation with beauty is back. This is evidenced by a current cultural shift from the supposedly objective to an emerging trust in the subjective – a renewed fascination for aesthetics supported by new knowledge emanating simultaneously from disparate disciplines. The issue takes an interdisciplinary approach to this re-emerging interest in beauty across neuroscience, neuroaesthetics, mathematics, philosophy and architecture, while discussing the work of the international architects, in both practice and academe, who are generating new aesthetics.

Résumé:
Architect John van de Water set off in 2004 to a China that was modernizing at a furious pace. His intention was to put the European, conceptual way of thinking of NEXT architects into practice in China. Five turbulent years ensued, with projects being built on Chinese soil. A whole range of emotions sprang up in the space between Western and Chinese architectural thinking: incomprehension, confrontation, misunderstanding, acceptance, awareness, understanding and, eventually, advantage. You Can't Change China, China Changes You is a personal reflection of his experience. In it, the development of architectural thinking is described, researched and tested.

Résumé:
Entropy is the quantitative measure of disorder in a system. During the nineteenth century, chaos, seen through an entropic lens, was linked to irresponsible waste and moral debauchery, but in the second part of the twentieth century the notion has beenreconsidered in an affirmative sense, as a condition linked to growing complexity and new life. This alternate(...)

Résumé:
Entropy is the quantitative measure of disorder in a system. During the nineteenth century, chaos, seen through an entropic lens, was linked to irresponsible waste and moral debauchery, but in the second part of the twentieth century the notion has beenreconsidered in an affirmative sense, as a condition linked to growing complexity and new life. This alternate understanding of entropy has come to inform contemporary discourse and the practice of a new architectural generation. Many of the papers in this issue were first presented at the Phyllis Lambert seminar that took place at the École d'architecture, Université de Montréal, in March 2010

From 1976 until his death in 1987, Andy Warhol was never without his camera. He snapped photos at discos, dinner parties, flea markets, and wrestling matches. In a way, Warhol's daily photography practice anticipated our current smart phone habits - our need to record our friends, our families, and our food. Warhol printed only about 17 percent of the 130,000 exposures he(...)

Résumé:
From 1976 until his death in 1987, Andy Warhol was never without his camera. He snapped photos at discos, dinner parties, flea markets, and wrestling matches. In a way, Warhol's daily photography practice anticipated our current smart phone habits - our need to record our friends, our families, and our food. Warhol printed only about 17 percent of the 130,000 exposures he left on contact sheets. In 2014, Stanford's Cantor Center for the Arts acquired the 3,600 contact sheets from the Warhol Foundation. This book examines and documents for the first time these contact sheets and photographs - Warhol's final body of work

Résumé:
The third volume in a four-part series on ALICE's teachings, ''Beyond the Object: The Imagination of Space'' follows up on ''The House 1 Catalogue'' and ''The Invention of Space'', proposing an alternative cultural history of architecture derived from the notion of spatial design rather than technical engineering and construction. Among the topics discussed are the common and scientific understandings of space and how they can be applied to contemporary architectural practice. Using Zurich as an exemplar of urban planning and development, the new volume combines fact with fiction to broaden the view upon future scenarios.

Résumé:
BRUTHER is the Paris-based architectural studio launched by Stéphanie Bru and Alexandre Theriot in 2007. Describing architecture as a ''combat sport'', the duo rose to international prominence in 2014. Competitions, experiments, and investigations, are all part of a work process they see as a strategic game, a balancing act between abstraction and function, diversity and uniformity, opacity and transparency. This edition presents the full extent of their work through 29 projects, ranging from collective housing and cultural and educational institutions to pavilions and exhibitions. While many are small in scale or unbuilt, they nevertheless allow an in-depth look at the practice.
