Résumé:
"Nothing but clouds" were the words used by the research commission in Andrey Tarkovsky’s 1986 film "Solaris" to deny video evidenced traces of alien life on the planet. Taking this disclaimer as the title, this meditative book by Kristina Jurotschkin brings together images, made in various places in Europe over numerous years, from her photographic archive. The result is a possible archive of the future of our present, or an archaeological survey anticipated for the future. Examining the construction of our social reality, Jurotschkin presents alienating views of everyday spaces.

Résumé:
'Voyage Le Corbusier' collects for the first time a compendium of sketchbook drawings and watercolors of Charles-Edouard Jeanneret—a young student who would become the modernist architect Le Corbusier. Between 1907 and 1911, Jeanneret traveled throughout Europe and the Mediterranean, carrying an array of drawing supplies and documenting all that he saw: classical ruins, details of interiors, vibrant landscapes, and the people and objects that populated them. Jacob Brillhart excavates the "visual thinking" of the twentieth century's architect, reproducing a selection of 175 drawings from these early sketchbooks.

Résumé:
The fifth issue of The Funambulist Magazine is dedicated to a tremendously important topic that had been an underlying theme of many articles in the four first issues, but embraces here its entire primacy: the relationship between design and racism. Design tends to crystallize and reinforce the normative relationships between bodies in a given society, often to the point of materializing racist political programs. The issue is composed of articles, interview and projects describing the active contribution of design to structural racism in Palestine, the United States, France, South Africa, and Europe.

''World of Malls'' explores a type of building that was invented in the United States nearly 60 years ago and quickly spread throughout the world.

On the one hand, there continue to be spectacular new openings in America, Asia, the United Arab Emirates and Europe. At the same time, however, many malls are empty, and some are being converted and repurposed.

Résumé:
The idea of public spaces—city parks, waterfront bike paths, and bustling squares—has long been associated with urban environments. Public Spheres After Socialism challenges this idea in light of the end of the cold war and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Drawing together experiences from across Europe, this innovative volume reconsiders the public sphere as a figurative, or mythical, location where members of society shape and determine its values. This book examines monuments, reconstruction, film, and new media to ask whether public spaces are viable in an age of globalized consumerism.

Résumé:
Avec cette introduction à l'oeuvre d'Andrea Palladio (1508-1580), la série Basic Architecture de TASCHEN met en lumière l'une des figures les plus influentes de l'architecture occidentale. La « Villa Rotonda » de Palladio à Vicence devint l'exemple le plus emblématique de ce type de bâtiment ; elle influença de nombreux projets avec le temps et demeure une source d'inspiration majeure pour les architectes contemporains. Le style de Palladio, marqué par ses fenêtres serliennes, ses façades à piliers s'inspirant des temples romains, ses aires symétriques et ses niveaux surélevés, fut importé en Europe et y devint célèbre.
