Résumé:
L'horizon de l'Arc lémanique change rapidement. Le paysage idyllique que nous partageons perdra à jamais ses caractéristiques à cause de l'expansion inévitable de l'environnement construit. L'évocation par le projet d'architecture proposée par Orizzonti illustre comment les décisions urbanistiques sont le résultat d'un processus. S'il est bien orienté et correctement organisé, un tel processus peut perpétuer le bien-être collectif que les lieux de concentration humaine nous offrent depuis des siècles, tout en sauvegardant les caractéristiques intrinsèques d'un paysage. Cet ouvrage fait parti d'un tryptique du même auteur. Retrouvez les deux autres titre ici: Materia et Terra incognita.

Résumé:
Richly illustrated with etchings, manuscripts, and old documents, this book retraces the epic tale of the automaton from ancient times up to the present day. Wondrous objects that are at once scientific and magical, automata testify to the technical research and inventiveness of their designers. In 1675, the astronomer and mathematician Christian Huygens invented the spiral spring that would play a leading role in the development of smaller and more precise watches, with highly complex mechanisms. The creation of more complicated wheelwork and the use of extremely meticulous spiral springs gave free rein to clockmakers’ imaginations, who invented animated objects that fascinated philosophers and scientists alike. Doctors, thespians and thinkers of the modern world all saw these increasingly lifelike automata: wonderful simulacra of life. These articulated figurines were to inspire thought, science, literature, the performing arts and more. Continuing this tradition, the house of Van Cleef & Arpels has harnessed all of its designers’ talents to create an exceptional automaton: a fairy, whose movements celebrate the art of the inventors of past centuries. Immersed in its designer’s studio, the reader sees an automaton come to life. "Automata" is the most substantial survey of this popular topic currently available.

In Hofer's photos of the street and (semi-) public spaces, people and architecture become symbols of a particular time and place. ''New York'' contains a new essay by John Haskell that posits possible stories behind Hofer's photos and draws connections between images taken over the course of ten years.

Résumé:
Paper is a readily available and inexpensive sculptural media. Pliable, ephemeral and easily manipulated with simple tools, it is a medium with which the artist can form three-dimensional shapes quickly through precise folding and cutting. Artist Richard Sweeney leads you through the three stages of his process, from the initial conceptual stage (whether drawing on natural or architectural forms for inspiration), to the basic shapes (modular, in column, or dynamic), and finally to the folding techniques, curved folding, parallel pleating, faceted pleating and radiating pleating. The author also discusses tools and types of paper best suited for this art form.

Résumé:
'Television: Technology and Cultural Form' was first published in 1974, long before the dawn of multi-channel TV, or the reality and celebrity shows that now pack the schedules. Yet Williams' analysis of television's history, its institutions, programmes and practices, and its future prospects, remains remarkably prescient. Williams stresses the importance of technology in shaping the cultural form of television, while always resisting the determinism of McLuhan's dictum that 'the medium is the message'. If the medium really is the message, Williams asks, what is left for us to do or say? Williams argues that, on the contrary, we as viewers have the power to disturb, disrupt and to distract the otherwise cold logic of history and technology - not just because television is part of the fabric of our daily lives, but because new technologies continue to offer opportunities, momentarily outside the sway of transnational corporations or the grasp of media moguls, for new forms of self and political expression.

Résumé:
Fondé par le territoire, l’environnement construit émane des premières matières de la terre propre. Ceux-là émergent, s’érigent, mutent et modifient le territoire premier constituant ainsi une culture matérielle. La tache ici entreprise cherche à lier les choses et les idées pour œuvrer de la façon la plus claire et la plus économe d’une situation donnée. Partant de l'aspect synoptique de l,espace moderne, ce projet veut s'ancrer dans le récit humain fondé sur les catégories de l'orientation spatiale. On veut y reconnaître la notion de mouvance comme plaisir de la dynamique du projet. Quatre projets sont élaborés dans le riche territoire du Charlevoix comme argumentaire en termes d'analyse comparative.
