Résumé:
In an era when the dual challenges of climate change and social isolation loom large, "Drifting symmetries" emerges as a pivotal exploration of architecture's role in shaping a sustainable and connected future. Weiss/Manfredi's groundbreaking work transcends the boundaries between landscape, infrastructure, and architecture by reinventing sites in response to environmental and social challenges. Presented in this comprehensive volume of projects and parallel research, their work demonstrates a multidisciplinary approach that invents new settings for public life by exploring the gradient between nature and architecture.

Résumé:
"The Barrack, 1572–1914" tells the little-known history of a building type that many people used to register as an alien interloper in conventionally built-up areas. The barrack is a mostly lightweight construction, a hybrid between a shack, tent, and traditional building. Easy to erect and to take down, it is—after the introduction of railways and later motor vehicles in the late 19th and early 20th centuries—also easy to transplant from one location to another. Originating as a standardized accommodation for semi-permanent military encampments in the late sixteenth century, the barrack became a mass-produced utility of military and civilian mobilization in the nineteenth century, providing immediate shelter for soldiers, prisoners, or displaced persons, as well as well-ventilated hospital wards for the sick. The barrack played a decisive role in shaping the political space of modernity.

Résumé:
Empruntant au pamphlet la forme et l'ambition, ce recueil confronte idées vagues et images claires pour exprimer une perspective critique sur les stratégies contemporaines en matière d'urbanisme et d'architecture. Sa structure discursive met en relation une étude de cas spécifique et une réflexion théorique : le rapport remis par MADE IN en réponse à l'étude comparative mandatée par la Ville de Zurich et visant à la révision des lignes directrices réglant la construction des immeubles de grande hauteur (de mai 2019 à août 2020); un essai épistolaire traitant de la Verticalité au sens large, des analogies formelles aux projections mythopoétiques. Un double commentaire évocatoire qui met en exergue les enjeux inhérents à la mutation de la ville, par-delà le quantifiable et le raisonnable.

Résumé:
Considérée par la philosophie esthétique comme œuvre imparfaite parce qu'assujettie au besoin et à la nécessité, l'architecture ordinaire est ici l'objet d'un tout autre regard. Habitation, lieu de travail, de culte ou de simple passage, elle est montrée au contraire comme l'endroit d'une expérience éminemment esthétique en ce qu'elle donne accès au plus profond de notre être-au-monde. Laissant à d'autres la vénération immobile de l'architecture monumentale, l'autrice chemine sans masque dans l'infinie complexité des émotions et des sensations suscitées par ces espaces du quotidien. Sont éveillés en nous, dit-elle, tandis que l'on s'y meut, le sentiment d'être à sa place, celui d'être vivant, de battre à l'unisson du monde. Cette version dynamique de l'esthétique architecturale, qui recourt aux concepts de rythme, d'ambiance et d'atmosphère, s'affirme comme résolument contemporaine et, à ce titre, comme une source d'inspiration à la fois nouvelle et indispensable.

Résumé:
This book brings together portraits of children from the series Siblings and Singles, Clara Gutsche’s most recent body of photographic work, produced over the last fifteen years.

The thirty-two silver prints from the series "Milton-Parc" (1970-73), "The Cencic Sisters (1974-76), "Sarah" (1982-89) and "Jeanne-Mance Park" (1982-84) reproduced here belong to the collection of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

Résumé:
Cheryl D. Holmes-Miller is one of the design field's most respected figures. She is legendary for her decades of scholarship and activism and is known as a touchstone and conscience for the design profession. This long-awaited book documents the history of the question she has been asking for decades: "Where are the Black designers?" along with related questions that are urgent to the design profession: Where did they originate? Where have they been? Why haven't they been represented in design histories and canons? Holmes-Miller traces her development as a designer and leader, beginning with her own family and its rich multiethnic history. She narrates her experiences as a design student at Rhode Island School of Design, Maryland Institute College of Art, and Pratt, leading up to her oft-cited Pratt thesis examining barriers to success for Black designers. Holmes-Miller describes the work of her eponymous studio for noted clients that included NASA, Time Inc., and the nascent Black Entertainment Television, as well as the story of her later critiques of the industry in the design press, most notably in Print magazine. Miller also recounts the parallel history of collective efforts by fellow scholars and advocates over the past fifty years to identify and celebrate Black designers.

Résumé:
If there is, indeed, nothing lovelier than a tree, Connecticut-based artist Bryan Nash Gill (1961-2013) showed us why. Creating prints from cross sections of trees, Gill revealed the sublime power locked inside their arboreal rings, patterns not only of great beauty but also a year-by-year record of the life and times of the fallen or damaged logs. The artist rescued the wood from the property surrounding his studio and neighboring land, extracted and prepared blocks of various species--including ash, maple, oak, spruce, and willow--and then printed them by carefully following and pressing the contours of the rings until the intricate designs transferred from tree to paper.
