Résumé:
The 6th title in the AMAG Pocket Books Collection explores the enduring pedagogical legacy of Fernando Távora, a pivotal figure in Portuguese architecture and a key influence on the Porto School. Celebrating the continued relevance of his teachings, the authors delve into his philosophy of making architecture for living, emphasizing the interplay between modernity and tradition, the humanity of space, and the essence of spatial composition. While numerous studies on Távora exist, most remain within Portugal; this volume seeks to bring his insights to a broader audience, reaffirming his influence on new generations of architects.

Résumé:
At the urban scale, Kalach and Alvarez derive their basic vocabulary from the tradition of Corbusian and Russian constructivist slabs that, during the last two decades, were infused with a sense of memory and influenced by Italian and Spanish rationalists. At a smaller scale, Kalach and Alvarez are members of a generation of designers who use concrete, glass, and steel as a palette with which they create extremely active three-dimensional compositions in Mexico City today. With a foreword by Teodoro Gonzàlez de Leon and an introduction by Aaron Betsky.

What is the actual difference between architectural and interior design? To answer the question, this book looks into the actions of interior disciplines, to understand what they do, not only what they are. In doing so, it studies them through intersection, to identify the essential principles that characterise this kind of design. From typology to topology, from context(...)

Résumé:
What is the actual difference between architectural and interior design? To answer the question, this book looks into the actions of interior disciplines, to understand what they do, not only what they are. In doing so, it studies them through intersection, to identify the essential principles that characterise this kind of design. From typology to topology, from context to palimpsest, from space to place, the result is a story – particularly focused on the Italian tradition – of the ideas and projects that defined a particular design sensibility that knows no limits of context or scale.

Résumé:
In this illustrated survey, British architect Quinlan Terry presents his guide to classical architecture. With intricate sketches, he explains the classical orders of architecture that were created by Vitruvius around 100 AD. The tradition of building using these orders was maintained well into the 20th century, until modernism began to dominate architecture. With this book, Terry, a strong proponent of classical architecture, aims to place focus on the kind of architecture that dominated the field for almost 2,000 years in the West—the vocabulary and heritage of which is known by few today.

Résumé:
Complex Order was born of a necessity to build a conversation around the work of spmb [São Paulo-Manitoba], in dialogue with other practitioners, artists, architects, theoreticians, and critics, mapping out the regions of understanding of what they do. Complex Order generates a public space of sorts, stretching the discussion of public space itself—its poetics and politics, its actions and representations. Rather than follow the tradition of the monograph, centred in the production of the individual artist, Complex Order rethinks the artist’s book, investigating the relationships of spmb’s work within a larger context.

Considered a groundbreaking book when first published in 1985, John Gossage's The Pond remains one of the most important photobooks of the medium. Consisting of photographs taken around and away from a pond situated in an unkempt wooded area at the edge of a city, the volume presents a considered foil to Henry Thoreau's stay at Walden.

Résumé:
Considered a groundbreaking book when first published in 1985, John Gossage's The Pond remains one of the most important photobooks of the medium. Consisting of photographs taken around and away from a pond situated in an unkempt wooded area at the edge of a city, the volume presents a considered foil to Henry Thoreau's stay at Walden. The photographs in The Pond do not aspire to the "beauty" of classical landscapes in the tradition of Ansel Adams. Instead, they reveal a subtle vision of reality on the border between man and nature.

Résumé:
Contrairement aux autres Histoire de… écrits pendant ses dernières années, Viollet-le-Duc, ici, n’a pas recouru à la fiction. C’est une histoire classique, qui suit le mouvement de l’art de l’antiquité à l’époque contemporaine, dans une perspective “nationale” qui donne dans ces pages le meilleur d’elle-même, à savoir la volonté de chercher ce qui fait la spécificité et la beauté d’une tradition artistique. Voilà donc un classique, épuisé depuis de nombreuses années (première édition A. Morel et Cie éditeurs, Paris, 1877), sur un sujet qui reste largement inexploré.

Résumé:
This publication reveals objects, sites and spaces that are integral to America’s foundation, mythology or daily functioning, but which remain inaccessible or unknown to a public audience. To make the more than 60 large-format photographs often required protracted negotiations before Simon was granted access to the sites. When circumstances permitted, she photographed with a large-format camera and careful lighting, emphatically not following the tradition of the journalistic snapshot. An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar conveys the fascination that attends the exploration of forbidden territories.

Résumé:
From James Agee to W. G. Sebald, there has been an explosion of modern documentary narratives and fiction combining text and photography in complex and fascinating ways. However, these contemporary experiments are part of a tradition that stretches back to the early years of photography. Writers have been integrating photographs into their work for as long as photographs have existed, producing rich, multilayered creations; and photographers have always made images that incorporate, respond to, or function as writing. On Writing with Photography explores what happens to texts—and images—when they are brought together.
