Résumé:
Spomeniks literally meaning 'Monuments' in Serbo-Croatian, look like spaceships conspicuously parked up in the middle of nowhere, alien to their surroundings, their bizarre beauty deriving from both their location and imaginative symbolism. Follow in the footsteps of French photographer Jonathan 'Jonk' Jimenez as he tries to track down these super-sized public structures.(...)

Résumé:
Spomeniks literally meaning 'Monuments' in Serbo-Croatian, look like spaceships conspicuously parked up in the middle of nowhere, alien to their surroundings, their bizarre beauty deriving from both their location and imaginative symbolism. Follow in the footsteps of French photographer Jonathan 'Jonk' Jimenez as he tries to track down these super-sized public structures. Once numbering in their thousands and attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, in particular “young pioneers” for their communist and patriotic education. Pushing architecture to its limits, Spomeniks are what happens when brutalism, symbolism, space age aesthetics and abstraction meet.

The cultural legacy of Romantic Paris includes a museum that shelters fragments rescued from the rubble of the Revolution and the display of masterpieces open to one and all that we visit today as the Louvre.

Résumé:
The cultural legacy of Romantic Paris includes a museum that shelters fragments rescued from the rubble of the Revolution and the display of masterpieces open to one and all that we visit today as the Louvre. Old neighbourhoods were renewed with gleaming arcades of iron and glass prefiguring contemporary shopping malls, and entire neighbourhoods were built from scratch. Marrinan plots the zigzag trajectory of the monuments, spaces, and habits of a city that both looks back to the past and forward in time with all the optimism, self-doubts, and creative energy of a culture poised at the threshold of modernity.

Today, we live in a kaleidoscopic new world of images : Is there a vocabulary we can learn in order to read these images? Is there something we can do so as not to remain passive when we flip through an illustrated book, or download images on a screen?

Today, we live in a kaleidoscopic new world of images : Is there a vocabulary we can learn in order to read these images? Is there something we can do so as not to remain passive when we flip through an illustrated book, or download images on a screen? Are there ways in which we can "read" the stories within paintings, monuments, buildings and sculptures? We say "every picture tells a story" - but does it? Taking images - photographed, painted, built, sculpted - Alberto Manguel explores how each one attempts to tell a story that we, the viewer, must decipher or invent.

Résumé:
De la commune d'Etterbeek à celle de Schaerbeek, de la place Royale au parc du Cinquantenaire, Nicholas Lewis nous guide lors d'une déambulation sensible dans les rues de Bruxelles afin d'examiner en profondeur le rapport qu'entretient la société belge à son histoire coloniale. La présence durable de noms de rues, de monuments, de bâtiments et d'institutions glorifiant explicitement la colonisation du Congo constitue un point d'entrée pour regarder en face les déclinaisons de la négrophobie contemporaine. L'ouvrage formule ainsi une remise en question radicale des structures du pouvoir colonial et racial à travers une critique politique et esthétique de l'espace public bruxellois.

Résumé:
Artist, educator and architectural innovator —Bertram Charles (B.C.) Binning was all of these. From the early 1930s through the mid-1970s, Binning was at the forefront of West Coast modern art, architecture and arts education. He is perhaps best known for the groundbreaking design of his Modernist home, which has been recognized by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. Built in 1940, the Binning residence captures the spirit of early Modernism in Canada. Binning is equally well known for his lively line drawings and his geometric, non-figurative abstract paintings that often reflect his fascination with boats and maritime activity.

Résumé:
This book accompanies an exhibition that traces the life of the great French-Swiss architect through documents, photographs, and many personal objects rediscovered following a restoration of Le Corbusier’s apartment on Rue Nungesser et Coli, Paris. Le Corbusier collected all kinds of everyday objects he called objets à réaction poétique: shells, pieces of wood, glass or bone, stones, enamelled ceramics, bricks, and common objects. Photographs and sketches of cars demonstrate Le Corbusier’s passion for vehicles and means of transport, and the tickets, tourist brochures, and postcards of monuments that the architect collected show his sentimentality for the journeys he took internationally.

Résumé:
Gardens of Sand is an editorial project compiling 100 original photographs, mostly unpublished, taken between 1859 and 1905. The archive illustrates the themes and specialities of the expatriate photographers of the second half of the Nineteenth Century: study portraits, Royal commission s, landscapes, inventories of significant monuments and buildings, orientalist scenes, steeped in classical European imagination. Nevertheless, the project also explores the confrontation between these pioneers and what was foreign to the West, between Western imagination and the visual reality of the Middle East, a meeting which ended up giving rise to a local photography, gradually moving further away from Western stereotypes.

A born-and-bred Londoner, Brown recounts his own memories of growing up in the capital, and also describes how he creates his distinctive prints. His unique, often humorous take on London will delight anyone who lives in or visits the city.
