Résumé:
Niimori Jamison Architects' work raises some issues and highlights the new desing orientations undertaken by the latest generations of Japanese architects, with the further enrichment of the transnational composition of the office, led by the Japanese Yudai Niimori and the Australian James Jamison. Although the office is still in its initial phase, some lines of work worthy of further development are recognizable: the antithesis between accuracy and 'unfinished', the layering of previous ages withing the new interventions, the absence of protagonism by the architects, in other words the objective analysis of the site.

Résumé:
The architectural practice of Hiroshi Sugimoto and Tomoyuki Sakakida is informed by a simple paradox: ''the oldest things are the newest.'' In 2008, Sugimoto and Sakakida founded New Material Research Laboratory with an aim to develop ''new'' materials for construction based upon much older materials and techniques. The NMRL reinvigorates material from ancient times and the Middle Ages by using it in the context of a distinctly contemporary design sensibility and thus creating a physical connection between the past and the present. This beautiful hardcover volume delves into the art and architecture as well as the archaeological philosophy of the Laboratory. Each project is characterized by the materials used in its construction and is illustrated with rich full-color photography. Sugimoto and Sakakida are the principal authors of the accompanying text, extrapolating on their design ethos and its roots in Japanese aesthetic tradition; supplemental reading provides further historical context. The book also includes an annotated index of materials and classic Japanese techniques with information drawn from the Laboratory’s research.

Résumé:
'Strange Networks' debuts a new body of artwork and studies by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Thom Mayne. Emerging from the same interests that shape the design philosophy of his internationally renowned architecture firm Morphosis, the works explore the tension between organizational systems and chance behavior, between the manual and digital, and between individual and collective authorship. Reproduced in detail, the intricate lithographic prints and digitally derived sculptural works -- or 'drawdels' for how they combine the notion of drawing and modelling - -embody a search for forms and methods resonant with our contemporary state of instability and hyper-connection.

Comment penser que la Nouvelle-France était esclavagiste, alors que le Royaume de France s’affirmait «terre de liberté» et affranchissait tout esclave qui venait s’y réfugier? On s’est plu longtemps à croire que cette situation rendait impensable l’existence d’une telle activité au Canada. Une lecture attentive de la documentation historique dresse néanmoins un autre portrait.

Résumé:
By painstakingly combing through unpublished archival records of the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Marcel Trudel gives a human face to the over 4,000 Aboriginal and Black slaves bought, sold and exploited in colonial Canada. He reveals the identities of the slave owners, who ranged from governors, seigneurs, and military officers to bishops, priests, nuns, judges, and merchants. Trudel describes the plight of slaves-the joys and sorrows of their daily existence. Trudel also recounts how some slaves struggled to gain their liberty. He documents Canadian politicians, historians and ecclesiastics who deliberately falsified the record, glorifying their own colonial-era heroes, in order to remove any trace of the thousands of Aboriginal and Black slaves held in bondage for two centuries in Canada.

Résumé:
This volume is dedicated to Piero Portaluppi (1888-1967), a significant and recently rediscovered figure of Italian twentieth-century architecture. Long neglected by critics, his work has been revisited and rightly reappraised thanks to the opening of Villa Necchi in Milan to the public. The book traces Portaluppi’s work through three design typologies: living spaces, the aesthetics of industrial structures and public places. Notable examples of the industrial spaces include the power plants that Portalupi lovingly constructed from 1910 to 1930, real architectural gems with an eclectic taste.

Résumé:
The great Italian architect, designer, theorist and printmaker Aldo Rossi (1931–97) galvanized the postmodernist architectural movement in the middle of the 20th century with his unique synthesis of influences such as Adolf Loos, Giorgio de Chirico and Soviet architecture. From his publication Architecture of the City (1966) to his 1976 exhibition Analogous City, Rossi spent a decade developing a theory of urban design that focused on the “collective memory” of a city as an essential element of its urban planning and gave consideration to how buildings and urban areas age over time. Here, Rossi’s theory is applied to his own works from that period, both built and unbuilt, in a careful selection of 23 projects that express this memory-based paradigm of civic existence and construction. Aldo Rossi: The Urban Fact thus unifies Rossi’s theory and practice, demonstrating the visionary dimension driving his singular brand of postmodernism.
