Résumé:
The Mechanicos (meaning ‘machinic’ in Greek) is a folk dance performed by the sponge divers of Kalymnos island, recording the crippling effects of decompression sickness and paralysis caused by increasing industrial exploitation. Today, a disproportionate number of persons with physical impairments and debilitating conditions remain largely invisible. The writing in this book points to different experiences of movement, time, and space: Whether through the creation of a vernacular sign language; a different pacing of time and projection of futurity; exchanging forms of care around a healing spring; recording the ways in which 3 generations navigate everyday interactions through a ‘broken telephone line’ of connection; or the friendship between a woman with visual impairment and her dog, Mercy, who helps her navigate the narrow busy sidewalks of central Athens. These stories contribute to imagining a different kind of mobility.

Résumé:
''Curating & Repair'' is a publication exploring contemporary curatorial practices and exhibition-making as contexts for dialogue, exchange and the remaking of social and cultural relations through repair. It seeks actionable insights into how artistic work, its mediation and the institutions that support it might be mobilised toward more sustainable and interdependent worlds. Taking flight from perspectives on translation, solidarity and power, ''Curating & Repair'' approaches mediation both as contested terrain and generative possibility. It discusses the importance of challenging normative power relations in artistic collaboration, alongside the difficulties of sustaining creative work against the undertow of multiplying global crises. By aligning the curatorial with the dialogical, it calls attention to the serious, collective work that we as artists, mediators and publics have at our hands

Résumé:
In the three lectures that make up this book, Han invites readers into his world, discusses some of the artists and thinkers who have shaped his thinking, and explores some of the central preoccupations of his work. ''If asked to summarize my philosophical thoughts in one sentence, I would say: The Other disappears.'' The more we immerse ourselves in digital communication, the more we lose the sense of touch and the physical presence of the Other. We become entangled in our own egos and become more and more depressed. We live in a society that is becoming increasingly narcissistic, in which individuals are turned in on themselves, incapable of relating to the Other in the way that Eros, as distinct from sex, requires.

Résumé:
''Eight Meditations on Architecture'' offers a rare and illuminating dialogue between two of Europe's most reflective architectural voices—Juhani Pallasmaa and Alberto Campo Baeza. Through a series of eight essays, the book examines eternal architectural themes—Beauty, Light, Time, Memory, Universality, Wisdom, Sacred, and Essentiality—revealing how enduring values shape the practice of building and the meaning of space. More than an academic treatise, this unique work underscores the necessity of cultural reflection and philosophical grounding in architectural practice. Written by architects whose writings are already essential reading in architectural education, these meditations offer a rigorous yet poetic inquiry into the discipline. Richly illustrated with contributions that interweave theory and personal insight, ''Eight Meditations on Architecture'' provides a space for reflection that is increasingly rare in contemporary discourse—one where theory and practice are not opposites but mutually reinforcing paths toward meaningful design.

Résumé:
A partir de documents d'archives et d'entretiens, B. Hamzeian rend compte des caractéristiques spécifiques du Centre Pompidou qui, à travers l'union de l'architecture, de l'ingénierie, de l'industrie, de la programmation et de l'informatique, incarne le concept de design total. Il met notamment en lumière les problématiques de l'architecture technomorphe. Au milieu des années 1970, au coeur de paris, prend forme une oeuvre qui cristallise le rêve d'une époque, celui d'unir les compétences de l'architecture, de l'ingénierie, de l'industrie, de l'aéronautique, de la programmation et de l'informatique pour transformer un bâtiment en une machine hautement technologique et interactive. Intrinsèquement mobile et flexible, au service de la foule. Il s'agit du centre Pompidou. À la veille d'une des plus grandes transformations jamais entreprises sur cet ouvrage, et grâce à l'utilisation de documents d'archives et d'entretiens inédits, il est temps de reconstituer la genèse et la mise au point de ses composantes fondamentales : des moules d'acier colossales à la limite des capacités techniques de l'époque, des organes techniques transformés en figures architecturales, une façade tridimensionnelle conçue pour accueillir des écrans pour informer la foule métropolitaine, une piazza ancrée au coeur de paris pour recueillir son flux vital, et un aménagement muséal conçu pour des transformations continues. Retracer l'évolution de ces composants est la clé pour comprendre une approche holistique au projet de la construction qui porte le nom de total design.
