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Gardens of Sand is an editorial project compiling 100 original photographs, mostly unpublished, taken between 1859 and 1905.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.

They represent an extreme of European architectural history, occupying a position where architecture and sculpture cannot be sharply distinguished any longer. The creations(...)

Résumé:
Francesco di Giorgio Martini's fortress complexes, created at the end of the Quattrocento, continue to look experimental and highly speculative half a millenium later by their semiotic character. They represent an extreme of European architectural history, occupying a position where architecture and sculpture cannot be sharply distinguished any longer. The creations represented in this book have their origins in a particular historic situation: the emergence of firearms in the 14th century and their spread in the 15th century had shifted the balance of warfare in favour of the attacking side, against which the defensive structure had not yet found a remedy.

Résumé:
Architect John van de Water set off in 2004 to a China that was modernizing at a furious pace. His intention was to put the European, conceptual way of thinking of NEXT architects into practice in China. Five turbulent years ensued, with projects being built on Chinese soil. A whole range of emotions sprang up in the space between Western and Chinese architectural thinking: incomprehension, confrontation, misunderstanding, acceptance, awareness, understanding and, eventually, advantage. You Can't Change China, China Changes You is a personal reflection of his experience. In it, the development of architectural thinking is described, researched and tested.

Résumé:
The aim of the Urban-A-Where? project is to encourage coexistences through multi-rhythmic urban environments, bringing to light the processes of making urbanity and the need for public engagement in a creative and critical manner. The project contributes to the implementation of an active urban society, emphasising the increasing importance of urban environments globally. Becoming playfully and publically engaged allows architects, visual artists and urbanists from Cyprus and other European countries to assist and criticise everyday urban processes and spatial practices through a range of tactics and actions, a variety of which are documented in texts and photos.

Résumé:
Picturing Mexico: From the Camera Lucida to Film explores the early artistic and cultural factors that contributed to the emergence of film in a heterogeneous media environment at the turn of the 20th century. Focusing his attention upon lithographs and photographs of Mexico created by European and North American visitors, Fullerton argues that the introduction of the illustrated press and the popular photographic album towards the end of the 19th century transformed the private space of the printed page. He contends that the dynamics of the moving image were informed by the convergence of these media forms.
