Résumé:
Chantée par les sagas de la colonisation, mise en scène par Hollywood, pôle d'attraction pour les Européens et les Marocains, Casablanca est d'abord une collection exceptionnelle d'espaces urbains, de maisons, de jardins. Les auteurs retracent de 1900 à 1960 la renaissance d'un port presque oublié et sa métamorphose en métropole tumultueuse, façonnée par toutes les cultures méditerranéennes. Les bâtiments significatifs de cette ville métisse sont analysés à partir des archives françaises et marocaines et présentés par des centaines de photographies inédites. Revivent ainsi les clients, les habitants et les architectes inventifs formant la trame humaine d'une scène incomprise mais essentielle de la modernité. Casablanca a eu un impact incontestable sur les politiques patrimoniales marocaines. Des compléments et des précisions ont été apportés pour l'édition de 2004, devenue introuvable. La présente version en reprend les éléments essentiels, complétés par des annexes mises à jour afin de conserver sa valeur scientifique à un ouvrage devenu presque mythique.

Résumé:
Urban swimming is more popular than ever. When it comes to swimming in rivers, Swiss cities are international trailblazers. Moreover, in places like London, New York, Paris, and Berlin, increasing numbers of people are seeking access to the rivers, harbours, and canals in the built environment. Rivers and their banks are gradually being seen as natural public resources, a place of leisure that is both convenient and firmly anchored in everyday life. Together with an exhibition at the Swiss Architecture Museum, this book documents this recent phenomenon, exploring how cities can reclaim their waters as a spatial resource and sustainably improve the quality of urban life.

Résumé:
In this edition, Daido Moriyama publishes his snaps from a trip to Paris the previous year, in connection with the Paris Photo fair. While wandering in the Saint-Michel neighbourhood, rue Mouffetard, and the area around Moulin Rouge taking pictures, his thoughts gradually drifted to memories of 30 years ago, when he lived in Paris for a brief period. Moriyama reflects on his obsession at the time to open a private gallery, which for a variety of reasons failed to become a reality, so he ended up spending his days roaming the city’s streets instead. Picture this: a 50-year-old Japanese man with a camera, totally bewildered, who speaks no French and only some broken English.

Résumé:
Over a five-year period, a modest poster board hung in a Minneapolis neighbourhood; it became a barometer for experimental typographic practice within the global design community. This dense volume documents the entire project, which was curated by Erik Brandt, and features works ranging from well-known designers to talented students. Conceptually approached like the ‘Ficciones Typografika’ project, the book is an expressive and visceral experience, rather than an encyclopaedic documentation. It reproduces every installation of work along with an overprint of the original posters. With a text by Ben DuVall and a conversation between Brandt and Paul Schmelzer.

Résumé:
Authored by Robin Kinross, this volume offers a tour through the history of Western typography, from the time when it can be said to have become “modern” to the present moment. It highlights different cultures in different times, tracing the developments and shifts in modern typography while giving attention to ideas, social contexts, and techniques, thereby also bypassing the tired tropes of stylistic analysis. Included are concise accounts of modernist typography in Central Europe between the wars, and in Switzerland in the 1950s and ’60s. Traditional typography in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and the Low Countries is also discussed sympathetically.

It also traces the catalogue ‘cubics’ (1970) by architect-designers Slothouber and Graatsma, which serves as support for the artworks in print, just like their system of blocks supported the artworks in the show. All exhibited works are included, plus several anonymous objects of different provenances and times. Interestingly, the book contains a lengthy interview with the artists by a redacted ghostwriter. With works by Francis Alÿs, Marcel Broodthaers, Joseph Beuys, Agnes Martin, Lily van der Stokker, and more.
