Résumé:
This is the first book devoted to the Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum and her multifaceted architectural oeuvre. Tabassum’s exploratory approach makes her architectural practice one of the outstanding contemporary positions internationally. Her diverse oeuvre spans from governmental projects to housing and has brought her numerous honors and accolades in the international field of architecture. The selection of her architecture in this book ranges from early projects in the city of Dhaka shortly after completing her studies at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) to recent mobile modular structures called Khudi Bari. Tabassum is establishing the latter for the people affected by displacement in various geographically and climatically challenged locations—both in the Ganges Delta and in the Rohingya refugee camp at Cox’s Bazar on the border to Myanmar, which is currently the largest refugee camp in the world.

Résumé:
Russian Textiles showcases the gorgeous printed-cotton textiles created and manufactured in Russia and exported to Central Asia from approximately 1860 to 1960. More than 175 spectacular patterns spanning a variety of periods and styles, from Art Nouveau florals to Soviet-era agitprop, are featured. The people in these Central Asian countries—including Uzbeks, Tadjiks, and Turkmen—incorporated the brightly patterned material into their clothing, particularly their robes, and in their household items. Brief essays by the author and fellow textile experts describe the “social life” of the fabrics and the fascinating history of this merging of Russian, Western, and Central Asian aesthetic styles; Robert Kushner contributes a lively text on how an artist “sees” and is inspired by these designs. Complementing the pattern images are vintage photographs from the turn of the 20th century as well as beautifully detailed reproductions of the robes and other articles that were lined and embellished with these cloths. This is a must-have book for the inspiration library of every artist; professional fashion, interior, and product designer; crafter; and anyone with a love of extraordinary visual design.

Résumé:
The Middle Eastern bazaar is much more than a context for commerce: the studies in this book illustrate that markets, regardless of their location, scale, and permanency, have also played important cultural roles within their societies, reflecting historical evolution, industrial development, social and political conditions, urban morphology, and architectural functions. This interdisciplinary volume explores the dynamics of the bazaar with a number of case studies from Cairo, Damascus, Aleppo, Nablus, Bursa, Istanbul, Sanaa, Kabul, Tehran, and Yazd. Although they share some contextual and functional characteristics, each bazaar has its own unique and fascinating history, traditions, cultural practices, and structure. One of the most intriguing aspects revealed in this volume is the thread of continuity from past to present exhibited by the bazaar as a forum where a society meets and intermingles in the practice of goods exchange—a social and cultural ritual that is as old as human history.

Résumé:
Les artistes dont le travail est évoqué ou cité dans les dessins du Livre noir de l’art conceptuel ne sont pas tous strictement conceptuels, mais il est notable que la plupart de ceux qui l’étaient ne le sont plus. Ces dessins s’adressent à tous ceux qui les envient d’avoir réussi à arrêter et voudraient les imiter. Ils ont pour objectif de donner au lecteur une idée du pétrin dans lequel sont pris les artistes aujourd’hui. Il y a une histoire drôle qui pose la différence entre un type qui tombe du vingtième étage – AAAAAaaa… Paf! – et celui qui tombe du deuxième étage – Paf… aaaAAAAA! L’ordre dans lequel est donné le palindrome a son importance. De même que la deuxième chute n’est grotesque qu’en comparaison avec celle, fatale, qui la précède, les générations d’artistes qui succèdent au grand bazar conceptuel ne peuvent ignorer les questionnements autoréflexifs d’un art retourné sur lui-même. Si certains considèrent cette situation comme une impasse formelle, trop sévèrement prescriptive, et choisissent de faire demi-tour, d’autres s’obstinent, sondant fébrilement les murs à la recherche d’un improbable passage.
