Résumé:
The past decade has witnessed a profound transformation in European landscape architecture, away from the formal, centrally-planned garden art that hallmarks traditional European parks, toward projects, often the result of interdisciplinary cooperation between architects, artists, and landscape architects, of a more informal, almost exploratory, nature. "In Gardens" examines more than thirty of the most influential recent landscape projects in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland, and from designers like Kathryn Gustafson, Dani Karavan, and Charles Jencks. In the process, this panoramic book illuminates a new paradigm of garden design in Europe and provides a fount of inspiration for landscape designers everywhere.

Résumé:
The mysterious world beneath the ocean's surface has captivated people for centuries - the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and ancient Chinese all kept fish in their homes for purposes other than the culinary. But it was not until the nineteenth-century invention of the aquarium that the deep was truly domesticated, offering the curiously inclined a chance to invent their very own exotic sea world within their own walls. In this fascinating history of the aquarium, Bernd Brunner traces the development of this most wonderful invention, giving insight into the cultural and social circumstances that accompanied its swift rise in popularity. Brunner tells a compelling story of obsession, beauty, discovery, and delight, from the aquarium's humble origins as a tool for scientific observation to the Victorian era's elaborately decorated containers of oceanic curiosity, to the great public aquaria of the twentieth century.

Résumé:
Those familiar with Nova Scotia understand the austere beauty of this Canadian landscape, with its wide open skies and rugged terrain pushing up against the Atlantic. MacKay-Lyons's work responds to this unique topography and to the vernacular building traditions that define its communities. His houses, commercial buildings, and public projects combine regional forms with local materials, technologies, and building practices to create works that are linked to their environments right down to their DNA. Peaked gables, shed roofs, and sliding doors are inspired by local barn types; corrugated metal cladding comes from the buildings used by the area's fishing industry; structural wooden frames are based on local ship-building traditions. These elements communicate a sense of place that is sophisticated, accessible, and free of sentimentality. Novelist and historian Malcolm Quantrill weaves together an intimate portrait of MacKay-Lyons and his work, elucidating the "peculiar regionality" of his subject's architecture.

Plus généralement, il est synonyme de style, sans définition précise. Le design est partout : il investit l’espace domestique comme l’espace urbain. C’est avant tout une discipline qui recouvre un champ d’activités très diversifié : produits, textile, packaging, graphisme, et façonne notre univers intime et collectif. En l’espace de cent cinquante ans, le design a connu de profondes révolutions, reflets des mutations techniques, des bouleversements des pratiques culturelles et sociales qui se sont opérés dans les pays industrialisés. Les “tableaux choisis” témoignent de cette évolution. Le but de cet ouvrage est d’offrir un vaste tour d’horizon afin que le design ne reste pas confiné, dans l’esprit du grand public, au mobilier, à une brosse à dents ou à Philippe Starck !

Résumé:
Siri Hustvedt concentrates her narrative gifts on the works of such masters as Francisco de Goya, Jan Vermeer, Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, Gerhard Richter, and Joan Mitchell. She is concerned with the very act of looking and the limitless rewards to be gleaned from sustained, careful attention. Unlike film and books, which progress over time, "Painting is there all at once," she writes, it is only with patience and repeated viewings that elusive meanings present themselves. Through her own personal experiences, Hustvedt is able to reveal things until now hidden in plain sight: an egg-like detail in Vermeer's Woman with a Pearl Necklace and the many hidden self-portraits in Goya's series of drawings, Los Caprichos, as well as in his infamous painting The Third of May. Most importantly, these essays exhibit the passion, thrill, and sheer pleasure of bewilderment a work of art can produce - if you simply take the time to look.
