Résumé:
How do photographers select, order, and display their images to make visual arguments about built and natural environments? Conceived as part of a long-term project at the CCA to examine the contemporary role of photography in the study and practice of architecture, The Lives of Documents — Photography as Project prompts reflections on the idea of the documentary as an embedded quality of photography. Tracing the research materials, archiving practices, and production processes of diverse authors, photographers Bas Princen and Stefano Graziani highlight a selection of photographic projects that model our visible world by investigating notions of landscape and its destruction, global infrastructure, intimacy and interiority, and conditions of urban and domestic space and life. This publication follows Princen and Graziani’s travels to understand how artists use photography as a tool for their artistic research and how they conceive of their projects as evolving and expanding explorations. Bringing together studio visit images, artist interviews, and Princen and Graziani’s own reproduction of photographic projects, it emphasizes how photography reveals and expresses lived and built realities in ways that traditional architectural tools fail to represent or communicate.

Résumé:
Comment les photographes sélectionnent-ils, composent-ils et présentent-ils leurs images afin de construire des arguments visuels sur l’environnement bâti et naturel? Conçue dans le cadre d’un projet à long terme du CCA visant à examiner le rôle contemporain de la photographie dans l’étude et la pratique de l’architecture, Les vies des documents – La photographie en tant que projet interroge l’idée selon laquelle la qualité de documentaire est intrinsèque à la photographie. En s’appuyant sur les pratiques d’archivages, le matériel de recherche et les processus de productions de divers auteurs et autrices, les photographes Bas Princen et Stefano Graziani mettent en lumière une sélection de projets photographiques modelant notre monde visible en examinant les notions de paysage et de sa destruction, d’infrastructure globale, d’intimité et d’intériorité, et des conditions spatiales de la vie urbaine et domestique. Cette publication suit Princen et Graziani au fil de voyages visant à comprendre comment les artistes utilisent la photographie comme outil de recherche artistique et conçoivent leurs projets comme des explorations évolutives. Rassemblant des images de visites de studios, des entrevues d’artistes et la reproduction de projets photographiques par Princen et Graziani, elle met l’accent sur la façon dont la photographie révèle et exprime les réalités vécues là où les outils architecturaux traditionnels n’y parviennent pas toujours.

Neon Palladio: Architecture without content 15. Stefano Graziani

Résumé:
Architecture Without Content is architecture reduced to its very perimeter. The books in the series are the outcome of studios offered at EPFL. Architecture Without Content 15 emerged from the Roman Architecture studio trip to the Veneto- we were looking for an architecture that we felt we could only discover in the tangible reality as found, opposed to the monumental photographs we know all too well. Stefano Graziano, our compagnon de route, was looking for something similar, as if he was pursuing a parallel project of re-appropriation, making a new set of photographs depicting another Palladio. Neon Palladio is a collection of overviews and details, fragments and relations. It is equally Palladio and Scamozzi and Sansovino.

Résumé:
'Documents on Raphael' is not only a rediscovery project carried out on the five hundredth anniversary of Raphael's death, but above all an operation of re-visioning. Stefano Graziani's photographs explore the works of the artist from Urbino—with particular reference to his output as an architect—their transformation over time, and his own process that translated them into images. Graziani puts variation before permanence and reflects on the very concept of the restoration, the archive, conservation, display, and of course the original, that last so dear to the photographic debate, especially considering that Raphael never saw any of his works as we see them today. Graziani's images, combined with reliable evidence regarding Raphael's production, refer back to the most iconic classical genres of representation: landscape and still life.

Résumé:
This catalog presents the works of artist Stefano Graziani on display at the Pescheria visual arts center in Pesaro. These works come from different lines of research, some from past years (architecture and museum collections), others more recent (mushrooms and athletes in training), and particularly interesting is the link, sometimes subtle other times more articulated and complex, that binds the images together, in a continuous game of evocations and correspondences. The volume includes a conversation by Stefano Graziani with exhibition curator Alessandro Dandini de Sylva.

Résumé:
During the ‘CAMon! Project’ workshop led by Italian architects Michele Brunello, Marco Brega, and Andrea Angeli’s, students at the Libre Académie des Beaux-arts Douala in Cameroon learned how simple games can also be a formidable design tool. Through Stefano Graziani’s colour photographs, this book features the 12 games resulting from the students' designs. The texts address the theme of playing from different perspectives, highlighting the relationship between design, education and cooperation. Each game — puppets, puzzles, masks, and mazes — has a strong empathic value, based on imagination and a broader exploration of reality.
