Résumé:
This issue of Public is devoted to the study of "scenes," treating these as phenomenal elements in the cultural life of cities. Both memorable and ephemeral, scenes conjugate a history of urban places by enacting a dramatic visibility. They are a measure of the decline, vitality and distinctiveness of a city.

Résumé:
This issue of Public is devoted to the study of "scenes," treating these as phenomenal elements in the cultural life of cities. Both memorable and ephemeral, scenes conjugate a history of urban places by enacting a dramatic visibility. They are a measure of the decline, vitality and distinctiveness of a city. A century or more of theorizing has subdivided city cultures into communities, subcultures, networks and innumerable other unities. "Scenes" are both the haziest of such unities and some of the most productive. Amidst an explosion of writing on all aspects of urban culture, our focus on scenes has served to constrain and inspire the studies contained in this issue. Contributors: Adrian Blackwell, Alan Blum, Jenny Burman, Jean-François Côté, Jonathan Gainer, Elke Grenzer, Janet Jones, Ryan Kamstra, Janine Marchessault, Paul Moore, Brian Poole, James N. Porter, John Porter, Peter Shevlin, Johanne Sloane, Geoff Stahl, Will Straw, Tom Taylor, Kathryn Walter, Margaux Williamson, Kelly Wood. Originally priced at $20.00.

Résumé:
"Form follows idea" examines the work and ideas of designers Ralph Ball and Maxine Naylor. Their reflections and propositions here provide a refreshing and provocative approach to design, touching on issues such as craftsmanship, modernism, and the role of nature and commercialism in design. Ball and Naylor's work explores ideas of space beyond the physical object. Their concern with cultural and social values is manifest in the form and (dis)function of their designs and appropiations of everyday objects, such as chairs, lights and shelving. "Form follows idea" features their approach to these objects through cultural, ecological and visual narratives. As such, this book provides a playful yet critical re-evaluation of familiar forms and typologies.

Résumé:
A surprising trend can be discerned in museum building since the end of the 1990s, one that still seems to be going strong today : an unprecedented number of grand-scale projects have been undertaken in recent years, not only by private sponsors, but in many cases made possible instead by public funding. This book not only shows new museums , galleries and exhibition venues for the fine arts, but also features unusual buildings housing special collections, as well as museums exhibting material from other fields of knowledge. One central focus of contemporary architecture can be traced particulary well in the examples illustrated in the book : new surfaces that enable the creation of new forms. Astoundingly, parallel to this development another architectural approach which can be already be called classical is also experiencing a Renaissance - the clearly defined, austere cube cloaked in a free-floating glass shell. No less than three buildings depicted here demonstrate the immense variety that is possible within these rigid parameters. The works shown here are no more than five years old and show, what a broad bandwidth can be discerned within a moment's snapshot. There are visionaries like Asymptote and masters such as Günter Behnisch and Tadao Ando, whose buildings span an arc from classical modernism to the architecture of today.
