Résumé:
In order to justify the singular vision and approach of this celebrated Japanese fashion designer, the organisers of this retrospective at the MOCA, Detroit decided to create an all-compassing installation – with numerous individual pieces selected in order to reveal a complex and multifaceted whole. Presenting the fruits of a practice that spans more than 20 years, the exhibition and delightfully conceived catalogue present clothes and accessories designed both for Commes des Garçons and under her own name, shop designs, posters, advertisements, collaborations with architects, photographers, Merce Cunningham, and with those that wear and style the clothes. The publication is interspersed throughout with various images from the exhibition, film-stills, photographs and texts from five different authors.

Résumé:
Over the course of three years, from 2006 to 2009, James Welling (born 1951) photographed the Glass House, the architectural landmark estate that Philip Johnson built in New Canaan, Connecticut, in 1949. Welling's photos offer a decided departure from the familiar views of the house and grounds: using digital cameras set on a tripod and holding a variety of filters in front of the lens, he created tinted veils and distortions that transformed the image at the moment of exposure, endowing it with swells of glowing color. As Welling described it in an interview with Artforum, the use of filters enabled his project to become "a laboratory for ideas about transparency, reflectivity and color." The 45 images presented here, which invite the viewer to draw associations between the camera's lens and the glass surfaces of the house itself, oscillate before our very eyes between photographic abstraction - a recurrent preoccupation for Welling - and depictions of architecture. With this body of work, Welling has located a wholly new approach to, and blend of, both genres.

Résumé:
Architectural discourse today is characterized by an overlapping conversation between architects and academics, teachers and students, theorists and practitioners. Certain terms-"diagram, " "extreme form, " "autonomy, " and "the generic, " among others-capture the moment in architecture in definition and in operation. "Crib sheets" is a guide-a "crib"-to twenty-two of those buzzwords, framing contemporary currents and trajectories. Each of the words is presented with a list of quotations, or sound bites, arranged in order of length and drawn from more than two hundred commentators, from Charles Baudelaire, Le Corbusier, and Buckminster Fuller to Frank Gehry, Paul Goldberger, and Rem Koolhaas. The structure attempts to evoke the present-day architectural conversation, capturing social milieus, current events, clusters of topics, and even background noise and eavesdropping.

Résumé:
A thought-provoking guide to the endearing and enigmatic ways in which the built environment takes shape,this publication proposes a new way of thinking about neighborhoods, housing developments, streetscapes, and storefronts, not so much as places defined by building codes, dimensions, or geographic features, but as assemblages of ad hoc interventions and incidental ephemera. It is an invitation to thoroughly reconsider issues of expertise, professionalism, power, ubiquity, defaults, communication environments, construction practices, and how these things confront architecture.

Résumé:
Log 15 is a slice through the present, featuring the current work and thinking of some of today’s leading architectural historians and theorists: Barry Bergdoll, Mario Carpo, Jean-Louis Cohen, Beatriz Colomina, Hubert Damisch, Peter Eisenman, Kurt Forster, Mark Jarzombek, Irving Lavin, Sylvia Lavin, Mark Wigley, and Mirko Zardini. Assembled to honor Phyllis Lambert on her 80th birthday, these essays range from an architectural and archaeological reading of Chris Marker’s post-apocalyptic film La Jetée to Dravidian architecture in India; from Gordon Matta-Clark’s erasure of architecture to the persistence of asphalt; from the influence of Andy Warhol on ambient architecture past and present to the house in the museum and the museum in the house.
