Résumé:
The inner courtyard of a Moroccan house promises refuge from the bustle of the outside world, while remaining in touch with nature. Reached by a dark and winding passage, the courtyard is the physical and spiritual centre of the house. Green vegetation, flowering plants (in the garden-like Riads), and fountains fed by narrow channels of flowing water provide a cool, shaded enclosure. Light from above combines to create a serene and sheltering atmosphere, a peaceful paradise. A venerable tradition, still very much alive. Werner Blaser has captured this marvellous architecture in duotone photos.

Résumé:
In the slipstream of conceptual art, the intimate interweaving of meaning and materialization in art and design came to be discredited in the second half of the twentieth century. The master’s program Material Utopias at the Sandberg Instituut put an end to this tradition by abolishing the unproductive hierarchy separating "concept" and "making," "content" and "process." In this publication, various authors reflect on the history of dematerialization and deskilling, the manifold meanings of materials in art and design, and the challenges for education when the innovative power of the artistic process is celebrated.

Résumé:
Award Winning Director Guy Maddin (The Heart of the World) continues in the freewheeling, genre-bending tradition that has made him one of Canada's most intriging and internationally respected artists with his latest work, My Winnipeg. My Winnipeg is a documentary (or docu-fantasia, as he describes it) about his hometown. Equal parts mystical rumination and personal history, city chronicle and deranged fantasy. My Winnipeg -which is framed as a goodbye letter - blends local myth with childhood trauma. A deliriously layered provocation, My Winnipeg is outrageous, informative and wildy entertaining.

Résumé:
This book, a documentary history, records a cognitive history of the emergence of modern architecture. Cutting across disciplinarian and institutional divisions, as we know them today, it reconstructs developments within the framework of a cognitive history of the past. Modern is here taken to mean the radical re-thinking of architecture from the end of the tenth century in Europe to the end of the eighteenth century. Among the key debates that mark the period are those that oppose tradition to innovation, canon to discovery, geometrical formality to natural picturesqueness, the functional to the hedonistic.

Résumé:
The current boom in misogynistic dynamics and topoi builds on a long tradition of gender discrimination against women while also – as this issue argues – exploiting recent technological and political developments. Rather than examining individual sexist practices or remarks in isolation, our current issue addresses misogyny as a cross-cultural phenomenon that expresses a deep-seated, albeit often unconscious, derogatory attitude toward women. In doing so, the focus is on how this attitude is manifested in literature, art, and pop culture, as well in prevailing media and sociopolitical conditions.
