Résumé:
While he was working to complete the Allmannajuvet Zinc Mine Museum in southern Norway in 2016, Swiss architect Peter Zumthor asked Norwegian architectural historian Mari Lending to engage in a dialogue about the project. In meandering, impressionistic style, and drawing on their favorite writers, such as Johann Peter Hebel, Stendhal, Nabokov, and T. S. Eliot, their exchanges explore how history, time, and temporalities reverberate across Zumthor’s oeuvre. Looking back, Zumthor ponders on how a feeling of history has informed his attempts at emotional reconstruction by means of building, from architectural interventions in dramatic landscapes to his design for the redevelopment of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which conceived the building on a suitably grand urban scale.

Résumé:
This volume is the public debut of the Surrealist photography collection of David Raymond that was recently acquired by the Cleveland Museum of Art. Photography and its many techniques—photograms, montage, collage—played a vital role amongst Surrealist artists who sought to mine the unconscious and unsettle the everyday. Raymond’s collection is distinctive in its breadth and quality and reflects the adventurous spirit of the movement’s founder, André Breton. This book presents 178 vintage prints from the 1920s through the 1940s by artists from 14 countries. Works by notable artists including Brassaï, László Moholy-Nagy, Dora Maar, and Man Ray are joined by rare examples by equally provocative but less well-known photographers.

Résumé:
Philosophy exercises a massive influence on contemporary architectural culture and the understanding of the built environment. Discussions of architects and architectural academics are heavily loaded with theoretical ideas, concepts and views imported from the works of philosophers. At the same time this architectural employment of philosophy rarely goes beyond the tendency to mine philosophical works for ideas, words and phrases and use them, often without much understanding, in order to promote architectural agendas and embellish theoretical claims made by architects and academics. The book presents the history of this phenomenon for the past hundred years. It describes and analyzes numerous examples of false intellectual pretense across prominent architectural influences of the era and their efforts to bamboozle readers, colleagues and the general public.

Résumé:
Grand amoureux de Montréal, Dinu Bumbaru croit aux bienfaits de la promenade pour élever le regard citoyen sur la cité. Promeneur impénitent, il a toujours en poche un carnet noir et un crayon à mine avec lequel il dessine et croque littéralement la ville, à coups d'esquisses. Dans la centaine de carnets qu'il a remplis au fil des années, l'auteur a choisi près de 200 dessins parmi des milliers. Il les accompagne de courts textes ou s'expriment son amour et sa connaissance de Montréal et de ses architectures. Échoppe ou usine, coin de rue ou parc verdoyant, église de quartier ou cathédrale, ruelle verte ou voie ferrée: tout est digne de mention pour Dinu Bumbaru. Un paysage urbain qu'il voit comme une calligraphie vivante de l'aventure humaine.
