Résumé:
This book is the first monograph on the product designer Ross Lovegrove. Written by the designer himself, with a forward by Paola Antonelli, it presents a complete overview of the designer`s career, featuring realized and unrealized project. While the main texts explains Ross Lovegrove’s philosophy and way of working, the products descriptions reveal the main feature and characteristic of every project. Lovegrove`s work includes a wide range of products from furniture to high-tech products, from water bottles to airplane seats and explores the possibility of realizing sculptural and organic shapes through modern technology and material. In recent years Ross Lovegrove has worked on a design concept that he likes to define as organic essentialism, inspired by elements and aesthetics taken from the natural world and reshaped in futuristic forms. His interest in this sort of new naturalism, which he terms supernatural, is accompanied by research into new materials, new applications and new methods of production. This combination of archetypal inspiration and up to date technology makes him one of the most interesting and unusual figures in the design world.

Résumé:
"Massive Change" is a modern illustrated primer on the new inventions, technologies, and events that are affecting the human race worldwide. The book is a part of a broader research project by Bruce Mau Design intended to provoke debate and discussion about the future of design culture, broadly defined as the “familiar objects and techniques that are transforming our lives.” In essays, interviews, and provocative imagery aimed at a broad audience, "Massive Change" explores the changing force of design in the contemporary world, and in doing so expands the definition of design to include the built environment, transportation technologies, revolutionary materials, energy and information systems, and living organisms. The book is divided into 11 heavily illustrated sections covering major areas of change in contemporary society — such as urbanism and architecture, the military, health and living, and wealth and politics. Each section intersperses intriguing documentary images with a general introductory essay, extended captions, and interviews with leading thinkers, including engineers, designers, philosophers, scientists, architects, artists, and writers. Concluding the book is a graphic timeline of significant inventions and world events from 10,000 B.C. to the present. "Massive Change" is a well designed, intelligent, visually provocative exploration of the myriad subjects percolating through popular culture: those we read about in magazines and on Web sites but rarely understand in any meaningful way. It poses the question: “Now that the human race can do almost anything, what will we do next?” Accompanies the internationally touring exhibition produced by Bruce Mau and his Institute without Borders.

Résumé:
An exhibition catalogue from the Migros Museum featuring 21 artists and architects including Anish Kapoor, Jane and Louise Wilson, James Casebere, and Daniel Libeskind among others. The exhibition takes as its point of departure three contexts in which space occupies a central position: Sigmund Freud’s notion of “das Unheimliche” and psychoanalytical elaboration of space and its emotion; Michel Foucault’s other spaces – heterotopias and their counter-site qualities of socio-political implications; and Walter Benjamin’s outmoded and repressed space with all its auratic traces (fake or authentic) of philosophical and historic charge. “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered” aims to exploit the psychological associations of space with its multiplicity of emotional overtones, mapping its extremes and its psychic environment. Focusing on spatial pathologies (agoraphobia, vertigo, claustrophobia...), the exhibition identifies space as a cause of mental disorder, fear or estrangement, ultimate trauma. Hysteria, panic and neurosis overlap with other spatial stories of psychic unrest and unease: distortions and perversions (warped space); anxiety and enigmas (haunted space); spatial inconvenience and discomfort, perfectly domestic and yet alienating; space half-spoken, half-pronounced: a promise, a puzzle, a magic spell, temptation.

Résumé:
La presse italienne de tous bords politiques a été unanime à saluer la parution de "Il progetto locale," dont le premier tirage, épuisé en quelques mois, a été suivi de deux réimpressions. Sur fond de mondialisation et à rebours des idées reçues, le lecteur est initié aux concepts de patrimoine territorial et d'autodéveloppement local durable, il découvre l'épaisseur sémantique de l'aménagement du territoire à travers ses dimensions politique, anthropologique, écologique... en même temps qu'une vision concrète de l'utopie. A l'heure où la question locale et le développement durable sont enfin à l'ordre du jour en France, c'est dire le précieux outil de réflexion et de travail offert aux élus, aux praticiens et aux citoyens par cet ouvrage qui associe étroitement la théorie et l'expérience concrète.

Résumé:
Ces photographies sont le produit d’un arpentage intime, fragmentaire, nourri par l'idée qu'une position spécifiquement artistique est susceptible de produire un type d'information que ne fournissent ni la recherche historique ni l'analyse sociologique. À l'horizon se marquerait la discrète étrangeté d’un milieu, des modes d’habitation d’un environnement singulier.Quel milieu ? Celui de ces villages non loin de Reims, au Nord, le long de la vallée de l’Aisne ou à proximité, presque totalement détruits pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Le front les a traversés. Les obus ont bouleversé les champs, les bois, tout le paysage ; ils ont renversé les murs des maisons désertées par leurs habitants. L’histoire, dans sa longue durée, a été effacée : disparue, ou presque, l’épaisseur tangible du passé, avec son riche appareil d’époques successives, dont les signes plus ou moins visibles façonnent habituellement les campagnes. À leur place, la destruction générale impose la marque d’un unique événement traumatique.”
