Résumé:
Coup de projecteur inédit sur l’œuvre de Doisneau. Les âges et usages du vélo des années 1930 à 1990 sous l’œil tendre et malicieux d'un des plus grands maîtres de la photographie humaniste. Et si l’on partait sur les chemins à bicyclette avec Doisneau ? Fort d’une sélection de 120 photographies, dont de nombreuses sont inédites, ce livre explore un nouveau champ de l’œuvre de Robert Doisneau : le vélo. À travers près de 60 ans de reportages, il raconte aussi l’histoire de la mobilité et des loisirs dans la société française. Tour à tour, le vélo y est moyen de locomotion, outil de travail, loisir sportif, symbole de liberté. Né en 1912 à Gentilly, Robert Doisneau est de cette génération pour laquelle le vélo est passé du statut d’objet d’émancipation à celui d’anomalie urbaine dans des villes où l’automobile a pris le pouvoir. Ce livre choral croise les lectures d’un journaliste spécialiste des mobilités urbaines, Vladimir Vasak, d’une historienne de la photographie, Angelina Meslem, et d’un cinéaste passionné de cyclisme, Patrice Leconte.

Le photographe Patrice Laroche et le journaliste Jean-Simon Gagné, collègues au Soleil, ont choisi une soixantaine de photos anciennes du Vieux-Québec et de la Haute-Ville pour voir à quoi ressemblent aujourd'hui ces coins de la ville. Le changement est tantôt radical, tantôt surprenant, parfois la ville est à l'image de ce qu'elle était. Au-delà du paysage, c'est aussi la population, les magasins et les entreprises qui passent sous l'analyse des deux compères. Un beau livre qui donne à réfléchir et qui invite à se promener dans Québec pour revisiter la ville d'autrefois.

Résumé:
Dans cet essai, Benoit Doyon-Gosselin pose un regard sur sa ville d’adoption, Moncton, « qui s’est inventée en français ». Il identifie dans son ouvrage trois Moncton interdépendants : le territoire physique, la ville telle qu’imaginée par les artistes et celle vécue par l’auteur au quotidien. « Moncton mentor : géocritique d’une ville » s’intéresse ainsi, selon une triple perspective, à la place des francophones dans cette ville bilingue devenue capitale culturelle de l’Acadie. Grâce à la géocritique, une théorie de la spatialité, Doyon-Gosselin étudie l’interaction entre les espaces et la communauté francophone et se penche sur l’impact des artistes sur le quotidien des Monctoniens. Cet essai constitue en quelque sorte le prolongement de la promenade littéraire organisée au cours des dernières années par l’auteur dans les rues de Moncton. Y sont convoquées les œuvres de maints auteurs acadiens (Gérald Leblanc, Serge Patrice Thibodeau, France Daigle, notamment), mais également celles d’auteurs ayant porté un regard sur cette ville, comme Jean-Paul Daoust.

Résumé:
La Fábrica is one of Ricardo Bofill’s most iconoclastic creations. A former cement factory on the outskirts of Barcelona, serendipitously discovered while driving, the building became the centre of the late Catalan architect’s life, serving both as his home and as the headquarters of his practice since 1973. Here, Ricardo created a world of his own, exposing the concrete forms from beneath years of dust and smoke, encouraging nature back onto the structure, and fine-tuning the balance between its monumental scale and a delicate, human sensibility, in one of the earliest examples of the reuse of an industrial building—and it’s still changing. This new edition expands on the book originally published in 2018, featuring exclusive archival imagery courtesy of RBTA and an expansive selection of photographs taken by Nacho Alegre on his visits to La Fábrica over the last decade. He returned in November 2022 to document the building in its current state, closing the book with 32 pages of otherwise unseen images—a portrait of Ricardo’s most cherished work at a moment of profound transformation. With an introduction by Pablo Bofill, the book also features an interview with Ricardo himself by Barcelona-based architects Arquitectura-G and Guillermo López, an extended version of the conversation originally published in issue #11 of Apartamento magazine.

Résumé:
As New York came to a halt with COVID, Michael Kimmelman composed an email to a group of architects, historians, writers, and friends, inviting them to take a walk. What began with a lighthearted trip to explore Broadway’s shuttered theater district and a stroll along Museum Mile when the museums were closed soon took on a much larger meaning and ambition. These intimate, funny, richly detailed conversations between Kimmelman and his companions became anchors for millions of Times readers during the pandemic. The walks unpacked the essence of urban life and its social fabric—the history, plans, laws, feats of structural engineering, architectural highlights, and everyday realities that make up the city. Filled with stunning photographs documenting the city during the era of COVID, this book is the ultimate insider’s guide. A kaleidoscopic portrait of an enduring metropolis, it reveals why New York continues to inspire and to mean so much to those who call it home and to countless others.

Résumé:
''Vantage point'' is a collaborative publication between American artist Daniel Everett and Swedish artist Mårten Lange. The project started as a conversation in 2016 at an exhibition for Daniel’s book ''Throughout the Universe in Perpetuity'' (Études, 2015) during the 'One Thousand Books' Art Book Festival at the Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen. Mårten was in attendance and instantly recognized one of Daniel’s images. It turned out that he had taken the exact same image from the exact same place/vantage point that Daniel had, just a short time apart in Tokyo. This amazing coincidence prompted the two to begin working together to compile more images from their individual trips to Japan to be shown together in a book. In 2020 FOAM published an excerpt from the project in issue #56 and this book is the full compilation of images.

Résumé:
More just spatial practices are to be found in the diversity and nuances of myriad space-making paradigms that tackle local challenges while providing credible responses to current global issues. This book proposes a collection of spatial protocols following an imaginary line: the 45°N parallel. This line crosses Europe, from the Atlantic Coast to the Black Sea. The practices are named rituals because they strengthen the potential for collective action in order to reach systemic change. They are labeled radical because they are highly transformative and point toward possible futures.

Résumé:
First observed in 1950s London, and theorised by leading thinkers such as Ruth Glass, Jane Jacobs and Sharon Zukin, the devastating process of displacement now can be found in every city and most neighbourhoods and impacts the most vulnerable communities. Leslie Kern proposes an intersectional way at looking at the crisis that seek to reveal the violence based on class, race, gender and sexuality. She argues that gentrification is not natural That it can not be understood in economics terms, or by class. That it is not a question of taste. That it can only be measured only by the physical displacement of certain people. Rather, she argues, it is an continuation of the setter colonial project that removed natives from their land. And it can be seen today is rising rents and evictions, transformed retail areas, increased policing and broken communities. Kern proposes a genuinely decolonial, feminist, queer, anti-gentrification. One that demands the right to the city for everyone and the return of land and reparations for those who have been displaced.
