Résumé:
The life and work of the outstanding Catalan-Majorcan philosopher, logician, and mystic Ramon Llull continues to fascinate thinkers, artists, and scholars worldwide The primary idea of Ramon Llull’s teachings—to enable rational and therefore trustworthy dialogue between cultures and religions through a universally valid system of symbols—is today still topical and of great relevance, especially in the tensions prevailing in globalized spaces of possibility. This book addresses Lullism as a remarkable and distinctive method of thinking and experimenting. The origins and impact of Ramon Llull’s oeuvre as a modern thinker are presented, and their interdisciplinary and intercultural implications, which continue to this day, are explored. Ars combinatoria, generative and permutative generation of texts, the epistemic and poetic power of algorithmic systems, plus the principle of unconditional dialogue between cultural groups and their individual members, are the most important coordinates of this combinatorial–dialogical media and communication theory, which appeared very early in the history of science, technology, and art. It was developed in the work of Ramon Llull during the transition from the thirteenth to the fourteenth century when Arab-Islamic, Jewish, and Christian cultures intersected.

Résumé:
Créé en 1933 par John Rice, dans le contexte de la grande dépression, le Black Mountain College a été le théâtre d'une expérience sans précédent sur le plan artistique, éducatif et politique. Le contexte intellectuel dans lequel cette expérience a vu le jour, la contribution des artistes, enseignants et étudiants, que le collège a accueillis durant plus de vingt ans, la liberté qui en a constitué le nerf, sont à la source des aspects les plus novateurs qui se sont propagés dans le champ artistique avant et après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Les études qui composent ce volume visent à leur donner l'attention et le relief dont ils ont été souvent privés et à mettre ainsi en lumière l'utopie fondatrice dont le Black Mountain College s'est exceptionnellement nourri.

Résumé:
La première « rétrospective sur le travail de Jean Prouvé, l'exposition « Jean Prouvé industriel du bâtiment » 21 janvier - 31 mars 1964, qui s'est déroulée au Pavillon de Marsan du Musée des arts décoratifs à Paris et a étrangement disparue dans le paysage historiographique du créateur, alors même que Jean Prouvé s'y implique personnellement et qu'il tente d'y expliquer précisément son travail. Pourquoi n'a-t-elle pas fait date et n'est-elle pas mentionnée dans la pluspart des ouvrages précis sur la carrièere de Prouvé ? Ré-ouvre-t-elle des problématiques et lesquelles ? À partir des questions que pose la disparition de cette exposition, l'enquête menée par le biais des archives, permet d'élaborer quelques hypothèses et de soulever des enjeux qui sont, non seulement au coeur de la démarche et des convictions de Jean Prouvé, mais également révélatrices du rapport complexe de la construction et du projet de France, comme paralysée par la tension entre milieu culturel et industriel.

Résumé:
In the contemporary world of competitive design bids and constant pressures to cut costs, there is a tendency for design to be taken for granted as a mere series of tasks to be optimized as a means to reduce construction costs. However, the complexities of the creative process require adequate time and opportunity to succeed—with time provided to allow thoughts to build and be set down, and opportunities for interdisciplinary interactions to occur in order for solutions to mature. The active engagement of architecture students in the design and construction of real projects is today an important dimension at more than 150 universities worldwide. And yet, this emerging field continues to suffer from an insubstantial scholarly foundation. An initiative of universities in North America has developed a consistent and innovative practice model, which sets a new standard for this key aspect of education and professional practice. ''Thinking while doing'' by Stephen Verderber provides the reader with insight into the design and construction process and the way in which the design/build approach informs the university-level learning experience.

This issue is devoted to the Italian designer, artist, and inventor Bruno Munari, whose visual experiments were so iconic as to become a self-evident part of visual culture. At its core is the first English translation of ‘Obvious Code’ (1971), a collection of Munari’s own writings, sketches, and poems about his work. It includes iconic design objects such as the Abitacolo, artworks like his series of handmade projection slides, obscure rhymes about the art market, and an original piece from his 'unreadable books' series. Dozens of artists, designers, writers, and curators were invited to annotate Munari’s texts as a testament to the depth of his influence on international art.
