Résumé:
The fragment is an essential part of a structure that carries within it the genetic code of the whole. Yigal Gawze's photographs distill the essence of the Bauhaus through one aspect of the school's wider impacts, capturing the abstraction, simplicity, and optimism of early modernism in the city of Tel Aviv. Concentrating on the subtle effects of natural light on architecture, Gawze highlights the encounter between a building style originating in Europe and the glare of the Mediterranean. His images culminate in a portrait of place, revealing the poetic essence of the White City's architecture and the role light takes in shaping it.

Résumé:
The Zurich painter Verena Loewensberg (1912-1986) belongs to the core group of concrete artists in Switzerland, alongside Max Bill, Camille Graeser and Richard Paul Lohse. Next to some lithographs, her woodcuts and linocuts are rated as the most splendid examples of concrete Swiss graphics. At a later stage, she only used the silkscreen technique which had become popular in Europe during the sixties. By using the silkscreen technique to produce graphics, she could best create evenly thick colour surfaces that are both distinct, yet adjoin each other with exact precision. With an essay by Bernadette Walter.

Résumé:
"piyyut" is a long-form poem assembling fables from the Jewish Diaspora in an attempt to unsettle refugee migration stories while exhuming mystical, prophetic voices in post-Holocaust Europe. Verses are titled and informed by the aleph-bet and examine the entanglements of the diasporic experience through allegorical tales and critical Jewish settler confessionals. Each verse is paired with a drawing by visual artist Angela Henderson exploring the intersections between graphic notation and lyrical, poetic form. Combining and juxtaposing digitally- and hand-rendered elements, the hybridized landscapes both respond to and reflect the complex, speculative and sometimes brutalist journey through past and present.

Résumé:
Through a sensorial reading of Brazilian modernism to challenge the generic, if not austere, appeal of Berlin’s modernist housing complexes, this book intends to reveal new potentials for existing spaces. By applying strategies of extension, insertion, and reprogramming to these prevalent structures, it combines generic urban prototypes common to the post-war era in Europe with the untapped qualities of the visionary, utopian modernism demonstrated by its tropical counterparts in São Paulo. With designs by Paulo Mendas da Rocha, Elza Salvatori Berquó, Antonio Cunha Lima, Eduardo Longo, and others. Conceived and edited by Rainer Hehl and Ludwig Engel.

Résumé:
Austrian architects Baumschlager Eberle are the focus of this instalment. The practice, founded in 1985 by Carlo Baumschlager and Dietmar Eberle, has evolved into a global firm comprising eleven offices in countries throughout Europe and Asia. Today it is run by Eberle together with several partners. Academic research and practical experience come together in the architecture of Baumschlager Eberle, which primarily concerns itself with the relationship between density and the atmosphere of cities, as well as the possibility of designing zero-energy buildings.

Résumé:
S’appuyant sur le postulat de Jürgen Habermas selon lequel la modernité est un « projet inachevé », Robin Kinross situe les débuts d’une véritable pratique moderne de la typographie aux alentours de 1700, avec la publication, en Angleterre, du premier traité de typographie, les Mechanik exercises (1683-1684) de Joseph Moxon, et la création du romain du roi en France. Il livre ici une histoire de la typographie moderne envisagée dans un sens large, bien au-delà du modernisme formel, en privilégiant les démarches et les praticiens qui, en Europe ou aux États-Unis, ont su articuler savoir et pratique.
