Résumé:
A seminal exhibition by the artist Daniel Buren at the Centre Pompidou in Paris is recreated through photographs of the since-destroyed pieces and illuminating reflections by the exhibition’s curator. Since the late 1960s Daniel Buren has been challenging the traditional methods of presenting art through museums and galleries. Through his conceptual works Buren audaciously argues that the art and its viewing environment are both inextricable and antithetical. This volume takes readers on a tour of a spectacular exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. The photographs depict Buren’s employment of the museum as a whole. The pieces, which he destroyed immediately after the exhibition closed, included hundreds of open cubes, mirrors, banners, and even a car park. Also featured are fascinating, behind-the-scenes accounts of the installation by the curator, Buren’s own pre-exhibition sketches, ideas, and floor plans, and perceptive essays that capture the significance of Buren’s achievement.

An increasing number of people want to live in city centres, where space is limited. This causes architecture to grow vertically, creating new worlds on top of old roofs. Examples of this, seen on the Rhine riverbank in Cologne, Copenhagen and Graz, show how charming these new living spaces can look.

Résumé:
An increasing number of people want to live in city centres, where space is limited. This causes architecture to grow vertically, creating new worlds on top of old roofs. Examples of this, seen on the Rhine riverbank in Cologne, Copenhagen and Graz, show how charming these new living spaces can look. Eight roofs from around the world are examined in detail, each covered with different materials: Adam Kahn uses wood shingles for his 'swimming visitors' centre; Diller Scofidio designs a park on top of a restaurant's green roof; Hopkins Architects gives the steel supporting frame of the Olympic cycling stadium a dynamic swing; Zaha Hadid wallows in Glasgow, with curves made of zinc sheeting and Jürgen Mayer H. is under huge umbrellas in the Spanish sun. In the chapter »technology« the complex supporting structure of the polyurethane-laminated, veneer-layered timber construction will be explained in detail.

Résumé:
For most people, resident and visitor alike, Victoria, British Columbia, is a time capsule of Victorian and Edwardian buildings. For its first 50 years the settlement flourished as the capital of the province. A smallpox epidemic in the 1890s closed Victoria's port, causing the city to go into decline and shelving plans for the Canada Western Hotel, for a replica of the Parthenon in Beacon Hill Park, and for the grandiose Italianate facade that was to complete City Hall. Victoria tried to reinvent itself as a tourist destination, but it wasn't until the modernizing boom after the Second World War that attempts were made to drag the city's built environment into the mainstream. Unbuilt Victoria examines some of the architectural plans that were proposed but rejected. That some of them were ever dreamed of will probably amaze; that others never made it might well be a matter of regret.

Cette publication est un parcours expérimental mis en œuvre entre 2015 et 2017 par les artistes et théoriciens de l'unité de recherche Art Contemporain et Temps de l'Histoire. Cette édition retrace le travail d'interlocution entre chercheurs à partir d'œuvres d'art entretenant un lien particulier au lieu. Les œuvres qui reviennent avec insistance dans les discussions des artistes forment l'axe central d'une forme d'exposition inédite avec Roof Garden Commission de Pierre Huyghe de 2015 sur le toit du Metropolitan Museum de New York et son lien à Central Park et au Musée d'Histoire naturelle, Conical Intersect de Gordon Matta-Clark, réalisé dans le cadre la Biennale de Paris de 1975 dans les anciennes bâtisses en bois et plâtre qu'on détruisait dans le quartier de Beaubourg à cette époque, ou encore la rétrospective de Gerhard Richter à l'Albertinum de Dresde dans sa ville natale de l'Allemagne de l'Est totalement détruite en février 1945.

Résumé:
Published to commemorate David Hammons’s (b. 1943) public art project ''Day’s End'', located in New York City, this book documents the sculpture and offers broader context into Hammons’s enigmatic work. In 2014, Hammons sent the Whitney Museum of American Art a sketch for a monument to Gordon Matta-Clark (1943–1978), paying homage to Matta-Clark’s legendary ''Day’s End'' (1975)—an industrial, cathedral-like space of altered architecture—once located near today’s Whitney in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. Completed in 2021, Hammons’s work, also titled ''Day’s End'', was realized by the Whitney in collaboration with Hudson River Park, and is on permanent view. One of the most important artists working in the United States, Hammons makes art across mediums, often outside traditional venues. In addition to photographic documentation, the book includes essays on the origins of ''Day’s End'', Hammons’s career scope, and a contribution by poet Ben Okri.

Résumé:
As the design industry reexamines its emphasis on Eurocentric ideologies and wrestles with its conventional practices, ''Centered'' advocates for highlighting and giving a voice to the people, places, methods, ideas, and beliefs that have been eclipsed or excluded by dominant design movements. Curated by Kaleena Sales, a powerful voice and noted advocate for diversity in the design community, the thirteen essays and interviews in this volume feature important and underrepresented design work and projects, both historical and present-day, including: Gee’s Bend Quilters, by Stephen Child and Isabella D’Agnenica; A Chinese Typographic Archive, by YuJune Park and Caspar Lam; Indigenous Sovereignty and Design: An Interview with Sadie Red Wing (Her Shawl is Yellow); The Truck Art of India, by Shantanu Suman; New Lessons from the Bauhaus: An Interview with Ellen Lupton; Vocal Type: An Interview with Tré Seals; Decolonizing Graphic Design, A Must, by Cheryl D.

Résumé:
The book focuses on ways to reinvent public housing in New York City through a series of design projects from Yale School of Architecture that integrate form and provide social programs for the residents. The students investigated the relationship between housing, equity, health, and community. The students developed comprehensive frameworks for the Washington Houses, three connected superblocks equivalent to seven New York City blocks. The concepts focused on restitching the project into the city street grid and sought ways to add new built fabric that would allow the Modernist towers- in-the park project to connect with public streets. Some found ways to keep the superblock with interventions to support the community at different scales and family structures. Urban farms and community facilities as well as recreation spaces were included in order to have a range of interventions for care, health, and equity that could reorient public housing.

Résumé:
If we rarely think of walls as works of mesmerizing beauty, Erwin Hauer can hardly be blamed. "Erwin Hauer : Continua" resurrects the extraordinary but little-known work of this Austrian-born sculptor, whose designs of perforated and modular structures are symphonies of measured elegance. Built in Austria, Canada, Italy, Mexico, Holland, the Antilles, Venezuela, and the U.S., Hauer's architectural walls and screens caused a stir when they were erected in the 1950s, but have since been lost in time. This book gathers stunning photographs of these works, many of them now destroyed or no longer accessible. Hauer has exhibited widely in the United States and Europe and his sculptures can be found in many public and corporate collections, including those of the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Chicago Art Institute, the Wadsworth Atheneum, the Benson Sculpture Park in Loveland, and the Museum of the National Academy of Design.
