Résumé:
The story of this book was built over time, through the many exchanges that took place between a photographer, the editors, graphic designers and authors. The publication is structured around five photographic series, each devoted to a particular building, site or architect: Château de Chambord in France, Dilmun Burial Mounds in Bahrain, Joze Plecnik’s buildings in and around Ljubljana, Rio Tinto in Spain, and Victor Horta’s Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels. It is, especially, a book of (hi)stories in which the series by Maxime Delvaux are accompanied by texts. For these, various authors have been invited to react to the images with the idea of experimenting with the text: fiction, historical essay, round-table discussion, scientific text and photonovel. Graphic designers played with text and images to give them form. The reader is in turn invited to create possible alliances between images and texts. Like Maxime Delvaux’s photographic approach, these texts and their articulation with the photographs are specific to each subject, illustrating five ways of showing and telling about places near and far.

Résumé:
SO–IL is an architecture firm born in New York in 2008. Diverse in origin, their team of collaborators speaks a dozen languages and is informed by global narratives and perspectives. Both locally-rooted and nationless, they explore how the creation of environments and objects inspires lasting positive intellectual and societal engagement. Amant is an arts campus spread across three blocks in rapidly changing, industrial North Brooklyn. This cultural incubator functions both privately, and publicly, with artist studios, galleries, offices, storage, and a cafe. Rather than an inward-looking space isolated from its urban context, the collection of distributed volumes weaves itself into the fabric of the city. The mini-campus is a part of, benefits from, and contributes to the local community. Pockets of outdoor spaces, multiple entries, and openings cohabit the ground with other members of the neighbourhood.

Résumé:
''Projet et utopie'' est la réédition du classique - paru en français en 1979 - de Manfredo Tafuri (1935-1994), architecte et théoricien de l'urbanisme italien. En s'attachant à appliquer les thèses opéraïstes aux domaines de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme, l'auteur propose une réflexion sur la métropole comme lieu de l'accumulation capitaliste et de l'antagonisme social. La ville devient dans cette optique l'un des sites majeurs de déploiement de la critique sociale, mais aussi de bon nombre d'entreprises avant-gardistes et utopiques : l'espace urbain comme enjeu politique, imbriqué aux rapports de domination et d'aliénation, qu'il s'agit toujours de subvertir.Projet et utopie ou comment l'histoire de l'architecture se fait critique de l'idéologie.

Being visual climate thermometers, glaciers are usually portrayed and talked about from that perspective. But Swiss photographer Julian Stetler looks at glaciers as living beings and active protagonists. Born out of the permanent metamorphosis from snow to ice, they are uniquely dynamic.

Résumé:
Being visual climate thermometers, glaciers are usually portrayed and talked about from that perspective. But Swiss photographer Julian Stetler looks at glaciers as living beings and active protagonists. Born out of the permanent metamorphosis from snow to ice, they are uniquely dynamic. From the human perspective, we can only ever perceive slices of them; they exist in a different timescale, beyond our grasp. This book examines the many ways of glacial expression, the diverse shapes and colours they assume, and how they influence and mingle with their surroundings. With a poem by Daniela Molnar, plus contributions by a journalist, a landscape architect, and a microbiologist.

Résumé:
Thirty years ago, the Vienna artist and architect Heinz Frank published a book entitled "Children's book for architects," a selection of his drawings from the 1970s, in which animals and ghostly creatures "haunt" buildings of various kinds. Frank's works on paper collected here once again shake at the rational foundations of architecture. With humor and imagination, the artist draws on the anarchic potential of animals and of children's drawings. "Children's books like this one," writes US-American architecture critic Felicity D. Scott in her contribution to this book, "prompt us to rethink the world, even to see it differently." Eight color-in sheets, included with the book, invite us to "enter into Frank's animal form of refusing architecture."
