Résumé:
Isaac Cordal is a sculpture artist from London whose sculptures take the form of "little people" sculpted from concrete and placed in "real" situations. Cordal manages to capture much emotion in his vignettes, in spite of the little people's lack of detail or color. He is sympathetic toward his little people and we empathize with their situations, their leisure time, their waiting for buses and their more tragic moments such as accidental death, suicide or family funerals. His sculptures can be found in gutters, on top of buildings, on top of bus shelters - and in many other unusual and unlikely places.

Celui qui emporta secrètement l'admiration de Loos et de Le Corbusier fut aussi un prosateur, depuis la page blanche qui appelle l'écrit jusqu'à la surface de l'immeuble qui appelle l'ornement. La valorisation de la fonction et de la structure, qui a rendu cet architecte mondialement célèbre, a éclipsé son pendant : la part de l'imaginaire dans l'érection inouïe de ces édifices enracinés dans la culture américaine. Voici, sous la forme d'un recueil rassemblant les essais, articles, conférences, interviews et écrits brefs, au nombre de cinquante, que Louis Henri Sullivan a publiés de 1885 à 1924, le récit de la modernité telle qu'elle a été rêvée en même temps qu’elle s’édifiait.

Résumé:
Bridging histories of technology, media studies, and aesthetics, ''Electrographic architecture'' forges a critical narrative of the ways in which illuminated light and color have played key roles in the formation of America's white imaginary. Carolyn L. Kane charts the rise of the country's urban advertisements, light empires, and neoclassical buildings in the early twentieth century; the midcentury construction of polychromatic electrographic spectacles; and their eclipse by informatically intense, invisible algorithms at the dawn of the new millennium. Drawing on archival research, interviews, and visual analysis, Electrographic Architecture shows how the development of America's electrographic surround runs parallel to a new paradigm of power, property, and possession.

Résumé:
De Bernard Pallisy aux paysagistes les plus contemporains, les créateurs de jardins et de paysages en France sont mal connus : la figure illustre d'André Le Nôtre éclipse trop souvent le foisonnement de jardiniers et d'inventeurs de paysages qui, chacun à leur manière, l'ont précédé ou lui ont succédé. Cette présentation de plus de deux cents créateurs et des mouvements ou des thèmes les plus représentatifs vient à point réparer cette injustice. Retraçant en deux tomes la chronologie d'un art véritablement protéiforme, cet ouvrage réunit plus de cent auteurs choisis sur les conseils d'experts, et présente l'essentiel des connaissances sur les plus importants créateurs de jardins et de paysages de l'Europe francophone. Conçu comme un outil au service des amateurs et des professionnels, il rend compte des recherches et des publications les plus récentes, sans omettre l'influence de l'histoire des mentalités, l'évolution de l'idée de nature et cette des modes, ainsi que l'apport sans cesse renouvelé des techniques. L'ensemble forme une histoire en mosaïque : celle d'un art en perpétuelle métamorphose.

Résumé:
A project composed across several decades, Guido Guidi's Lunario takes the name of a traditional farmer’s almanac to bring together several strands of work all relating to the moon. Distortion, experimentation and illusion inform Guidi’s earlier work of the late 1960s and early 1970s, further developed by the introduction of a fish-eye lens. The moon’s physical form echoes throughout the works: in a woman’s face, or a child’s playing ball caught between light and shadow. Guidi’s barren, lunar landscapes give way in the 1980s to colour photographs, all of which culminate in the dramatic partial solar-eclipse of August 11, 1999. Throughout Lunario, Guido Guidi comes back to the moon as a source of stylistic and thematic inspiration: a symbol of melancholy and madness, changeability and a constant reminder of the transience of everyday life.

Résumé:
At the beginning of the economic crisis in 2007, housing became a central commodity in the short-circuit system of mortgages granted to private individuals and businesses. In the aftermath of the crisis, and in the wake of the COVID-19 Pandemic, housing—as a right, in its most radical form—re-emerged due to local housing, migration, and health emergencies. In light of an eclipse of a general discourse on housing, a new secular and international ethics arose, both foreign and superior to nation states. This book returns to a broader notion of housing: using metaphors of sanitary and salvific reinstatement, it retrieves case studies from the 1950s for re-conceptualizing the housing question in contemporary architecture and visual arts.

Résumé:
Housing speaks directly to the challenges that define our times: social inequality, ecological crisis, displacement, asylum, migration and privatization. Framing the neo-liberal context as a defining condition of contemporary housing, International Case Studies consists of two parts: a series of essays by authors from architecture, anthropology, economy and literature, and an “atlas” of global housing that takes neo-liberalism as its starting point. The essays shed light on the challenges and conflicts of contemporary housing production from Andrew Herscher’s research on the politics of “blight” in Detroit to Justin McGuirk’s text on domesticity as data and universal housing questions eclipse by the “Internet of Things.” Conceptualized and compiled by architectural critic-historian Anne Kockelkorn and Columbia professor Reinhold Martin, the illustrated “atlas” presents 33 housing examples rarely seen together and invites readers to think of housing as an unstable constellation evolving within the power relations of territorial processes.
