In an attempt to render the scale and urgency of the Amazon’s extensive, impending collapse, Richard Mosse’s most ambitious work to date employs a dazzling array of photographic techniques.(...)

Résumé:
Devastation in the Amazon rainforest and the climate change it triggers tend to unfold in ways that are too vast to comprehend, too minute to perceive, and too normalised to see. In an attempt to render the scale and urgency of the Amazon’s extensive, impending collapse, Richard Mosse’s most ambitious work to date employs a dazzling array of photographic techniques. Broken Spectre is an immersive, 74-minute film that shifts between a manifold of ecological narratives, from the topographic to the anthropocentric, and to a careful examination of nonhuman violence and survival. Mosse and his team spent years documenting different fronts of destruction, degradation and environmental crimes in the Amazon Basin and related eco-systems.

Résumé:
Nova Cantabrigiensis is a utopian island in the middle of the Minas Basin, Nova Scotia. It is the invention of visionary outsider artist John Devlin, and was designed to recreate the atmosphere and architecture of Cambridge, England, which John considers to be the perfect city. John came to study in Cambridge in 1979, and fell in love with its unique ambience. When mental illness forced him to return home to Canada after just one year, he became obsessed with discovering the secret to 'the Cambridge essence'. Over ten years, John created over 360 beautiful and unique illustrations, dream-like sketches of re-imagined and reconfigured Cambridge buildings, drawn again and again in the pursuit of perfection. The book Nova Cantabrigiensis presents a selection of John's illustrations, as well as an essay describing his plans for the island and his mathematical theories about architecture. It is published by Island Editions.

Résumé:
The Center for land use interpretation is a research-based educational organization that produces public programs about the built landscape of the United States from its sites in Los Angeles, Utah and the Mojave desert, with an upstate New York location opening in 2006. The Center’s aim is to increase and diffuse information about how the nation’s lands are apportioned, utilized and perceived. Recent examples of their work include a two-day "Tour of the monuments of the great American void" by bus and the exhibit "Immersed remains: towns submerged in America". This book takes readers on a tour through the strangely unfamiliar land that Americans live in, demonstrating that we can understand ourselves by examining the clues on display all around us, often clearly visible but ignored. Each chapter explores a different topic, from an in-depth look at Ohio ("the most all-American state"); through scale shifts in model landscapes, exemplified in the three largest hydraulic models in the world; and law-enforcement training environments that "simulate" public space. Readers can dive into the hidden and enchanting world of show caves, where America is on display underground; and come up into the Great Basin, a zone covering most of Nevada, and portions of Utah, California, Oregon, Idaho and Mexico, whose network of watersheds has no outlet to the ocean. Following lines and edges, through cities, suburbs, small towns and wide-open spaces, the Center guides us upstream, toward the heart of another America - the same, but different.

Résumé:
Les palais et jardins royaux du Maroc, le titre invite à la rêverie, surtout lorsqu'on parle d'une contrée au climat relativement aride. Ériger de beaux édifices et tenter de faire reculer le désert dans ce pays est le défi permanent de l'homme : creuser des puits, faire jaillir de l'eau, aménager des canaux et des ruisseaux, pour, enfin, créer des jardins, univers fertiles et luxuriants... Comment l'art des jardins a-t-il pu naître et se développer dans de telles Conditions ? Tout d'abord grâce au pouvoir monarchique qui régna sans discontinuer pendant plus de mille ans, assurant par la maîtrise politique et technique de l'eau, le développement de ces résidences royales aux jardins merveilleux, tant chantés par les lettrés musulmans. De ce point de vue, les sites de Fès, Marrakech, Rabat et Meknès, capitales d'empire, furent remarquablement choisis. Véritables cités hydrauliques, ces quatre villes et leurs palais étaient dotés de différentes techniques d'adduction d'eau. Ensuite, l'héritage spirituel, empreint d'images du paradis tel que promis aux fidèles, incita les musulmans à créer et à multiplier les jardins terrestres supposés imiter, certes de façon toujours imparfaite, le jardin d'Éden. Enfin, les apports culturels d'Orient suscitèrent une floraison d'œuvres majestueuses que le Maroc musulman réalisa admirablement, dans le cadre d'une civilisation hispano-mauresque brillante dont il est encore le principal héritier. Ce livre explore les jardins royaux du Maroc selon un cheminement à la fois généalogique, patrimonial et esthétique. De l'agdâl, grand jardin planté aux bassins immenses où se reflètent les pavillons exquis destinés aux plaisirs des princes, aux riyâd, jardins intérieurs aux jets d'eau rafraîchissants, toute une combinaison hiérarchisée d'espaces verdoyants se compose harmonieusement, selon une logique de structuration de l'architecture des palais royaux marocains : extérieur/intérieur et privé/public. Au confluent de 1'Espagne mauresque et de l'Orient arabe, une riche tradition artistique s'y est développée; palais et jardins témoignent donc d'une virtuosité exceptionnelle et d'un savoir-faire remarquable. Cet ouvrage en restitue la beauté et la magnificence.
