Lars Müller Publishers Autumn Catalogue 2014 by Lars Müller Publishers

Lars Müller Publishers Autumn 2014 Architecture Design Photography Art Society Despite—or perhaps because of—the difficulties independent publishers are confronted with, many of our titles enjoy great popularity around the world. We are always looking for new ways and means to draw attention to our publications, while supporting booksellers in their efforts, as well. The role of publishers as producers of high-quality books with superior contents is becoming more and more important. Our professional preparation and presentation of relevant themes and groundbreaking ideas, and the way that we foster the value of books as objects ensures their longevity and the survival of the physical bookstore. Our autumn 2014 catalogue is devoted to fulfilling these goals. With the series OfficeUS, about the US pavilion, and Elements of Venice, we are part of the architectural event of the year, the Venice Architecture Biennal. In Mark Wigley’s publications, Cutting Matta-Clark – the Anarchitecture Project and Bucky Inc. – Architecture in the Age of Radio, we discover a new, surprising approach to the work of two of the greats in the fields of architecture and art. With its veritable graphic poetry, the unique collection of tree silhouettes in the Neubau Forst Catalogue also provides a considerable number of practical applications for architects and landscape architects. And because trailblazing cannot occur without role models, we are reprinting Ladislav Sutnar’s Visual Design in Action from 1961, while Jasper Morrison’s collection of images, The Good Life – Perceptions of The Ordinary, allows us to perceive our environment with amazement. Our topical backlist proves that the book is and will remain a durable medium for conveying pertinent information. Allow yourself, as we have done, to be infected by the assiduous research, the enthusiasm, and the critical perspectives of our authors. You will discover up-to-the-minute topics, ideas, and modes of thought to pass on to your customers. Lars Müller

OfficeUS Agenda (Catalogue) Edited by Eva Franch i Gilabert, Ana Miljački, Ashley Schafer, Michael Kubo, Amanda Reeser Lawrence The OfficeUS Agenda, the catalogue for the U.S. Pavilion, serves simultaneously as a guide and counterpoint to the exhibition. Organized into stories of expertise, exchange, and export, the Agenda frames the narratives that have projected the organizational structures and branded identity of U.S. architecture firms internationally from 1914–2014. The Agenda includes thirteen essays of original scholarship, including Barry Bergdoll, Beatriz Colomina, Jorge Otero-Pailos and Keller Easterling.

Publication about the U.S. pavilion at the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale A historical summary and a new critical evaluation of the U.S. contribution to global architectural ideas OfficeUS, the U.S. Pavilion for the 2014 International Architecture Exhibition – la Biennale di Venezia, reframes the history of U.S. architecture through the lens of export in two interrelated constructs: “The Office” and “The Repository”. The Repository presents 1000 projects designed by 200 US offices working abroad in a chronological archive of the last 100 years. Collectively these projects tell multiple, imbricated stories of U.S. firms, typologies, and technologies, as well as a broader narrative of modernization and its global reach. The Ofﬁce engages these projects, revisiting their premises and conclusions over the course of the Biennale. It functions as a laboratory staffed by a diverse group of resident design partners collaborating with outpost offices and a rotating cast of visiting experts. Together, these two halves of OfficeUS create both an historical record of the U.S. contribution to global architectural thought, and a petri dish in which that record is submitted to contemporary agents of disruption and critique. OfficeUS is curated by Eva Franch i Gilabert, Ana Miljački and Ashley Schafer and produced by Storefront for Art and Architecture, PRAXIS Journal, students from MIT’s Department of Architecture and the Knowlton School at The Ohio State University, Leong Leong, Pentagram: Natasha Jen, CASE, Lars Müller, Architizer, and CLOG.

OfficeUS Atlas (Repository) Edited by Eva Franch i Gilabert, Ana Miljački, Ashley Schafer, Michael Kubo The OfficeUS Atlas collects the exhibition research in an archive of nearly 1000 architectural projects. Organized according to individual firm histories, the Atlas documents the development of U.S. architectural offices working abroad from 1914 to the present. Offices and their projects are illustrated by over 1200 photographs and architectural drawings.

Elements of Venice With a foreword written by Rem Koolhaas

Provisional cover

In time for the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale

Available June 2014 12 × 16.7 cm, 4 ¾ × 6 ½ in approx. 560 pages approx. 1500 illustrations, paperback ISBN 978-3-03778-429-7, English E UR 20.– G BP 18.– USD /CAD 28.–

An architectural guide that breaks with the postcard images of the eternal city in an unconventional way The metamorphic nature of Venice, a city in which most buildings underwent throughout the centuries substantial volumetric and formal transformations informed by political and cultural shifts, is revealed in Elements of Venice through the analysis of single architectural elements. Developed as a parallel research project of Fundamentals—the 14th Venice Architecture Biennale curated by Rem Koolhaas—the book offers insights on Venetian facades, stairs, corridors, ﬂoors, ramps, ceilings, doors, hearths, windows, balconies and walls. “Product not [only] of the mind but of societal organization” the elements are isolated from their picture-perfect context and from the postcard view of Venice that is impressed in our retinas, introducing the reader—through a combination of collages, drawings, photographs, paintings, film stills and quotes—to a radically new way of seeing Venice. Like a camera obscura photograph cuts through the often irrelevant embellishments of architecture to reveal the underlying skeleton of a building (i.e. its elements), this guide will allow the reader to better understand the fundamental transformations that have shaped Venice during the past ten centuries. This city, which for many is—architecturally speaking—permanently frozen in time, has in fact often been at the forefront of challenging the architectural conventions, both during the days of the Republic (until 1797), in which gothic and renaissance styles were seen as carriers of political and ideological meanings, and in the past two centuries when, despite the introduction of the dooming motto “Com’era, dov’era” (“As it was, where it was”), Venice underwent an unprecedented urban transformation.

RELATED TITLE Bucky Inc. – Architecture in the Age of Radio page 7

Truth or myth? The legendary Anarchitecture exhibition Of the many shows at the fabled 112 Greene Street gallery—an artistic epicenter of New York’s downtown scene in the 1970s—the Anarchitecture group show of March 1974 has been the subject of the most enduring discussion, despite a complete lack of documentation about it. Anarchitecture has become a foundational myth, but one that remains to be properly understood. Stemming from a series of meetings organized by Gordon Matta-Clark and reﬂecting his long-standing interest in architecture, the Anarchitecture exhibition was conceived as an anonymous group statement in photographs about the intersection of art and building. But did it actually happen? It exists only through oblique archival traces and the memories of the participants. Cutting Matta-Clark investigates the Anarchitecture group as a kind of collective research seminar, through extensive interviews with the protagonists and a dossier of all the available evidence. The dossier includes a collection of Matta-Clark’s aphoristic “art cards,” the 96 photographs that were produced by the various participants for possible inclusion in the exhibition, and images from a recently unearthed video of Matta-Clark’s now famous bus trip to see Splitting in Englewood, New Jersey. Interviews with: Laurie Anderson, Liza Béar, Jane Crawford, Susan Ensley, Tina Girouard, Dan Graham, Jene Highstein Bernard and Susan Kirschenbaum, Jeffrey Lew, Richard Nonas.

Bucky Inc. offers a deep exploration of Richard Buckminster Fuller’s work and thought to shed new light on the questions raised by our increasingly electronic world. It shows that Fuller’s entire career was a multi-dimensional reﬂection on the architecture of radio. He always insisted that the real site of architecture is the electromagnetic spectrum. His buildings were delicate mobile instruments for accessing the invisible universe of overlapping signals. Every detail was understood as a way of tuning into hidden waves. Architecture was built in, with, for and as radio. Bucky Inc. rethinks the legacy of one of the key protagonists of the twentieth-century. It draws extensively on Fuller’s archive to follow his radical thinking from toilets to telepathy, plastic to prosthetics, and data to deep-space. It shows how the critical arguments and material techniques of arguably the single most exposed designer of the last century were overlooked at the time but have become urgently relevant today.

He is the author of The Architecture of Deconstruction: Derrida’s Haunt; White Walls, Designer Dresses: The Fashioning of Modern Architecture; and Constant’s New Babylon: The Hyper-Architecture of Desire.

Neubau Forst Catalogue is a collection of detailed silhouettes of urban trees and separate tree sculptures. In years of manual work, using a method developed especially for this project, these details have been digitally removed from their original urban surroundings in Berlin. The materials are distinguished by their extent, outstanding quality of detail, and excellent resolution of the usual autotraced digital tree library. The Berlin trees were selected according to a special matrix. The letters of the name of the design studio, NE UBAU , were laid over a map of Berlin. The trees that were located at the structural anchor points of the letters were marked to appear in the Neubau Forst Catalogue. Over a period of time, from 2009 to 2013, these trees were systematically photographed, documented, and catalogued in the summer and winter seasons. Neubau’s process of selection and distillation gives the trees a timeless validity, and they can be used universally in future images. Additionally, so-called “tree modules” were removed from existing separate trees. They can be set in front of both dark and light backgrounds of any kind and photographed without any ﬂash. There are endless combinations of ready-to-use trees and different modules. STE FAN GANDL was born in 1969. Digital fonts, geometric patterns, and pictograms

are the major building blocks that the Austrian designer has used to construct not only his studio, Neubau, in Berlin, but also an entirely new realm of signs, which he and his international team are constantly expanding.

Young-Old Urban Utopias of an Aging Society Design: Studio Joost Grootens Radically opposing worlds, experimental life forms, and senior paradises far from reality Insights into new manifestations of architecture as a consequence of the (over) aging of society Young-Old examines contemporary architectural and urban mutations that have emerged as a consequence of one of the key demographic transformations of our time: aging populations. Distinguishing between different phases of old age, the book identifies the group known as the “young old” as a remarkable petri dish for experiments in subjectivity, collectivity, and environment. In investigating this field of latent urban and architectural novelty, Young-Old asserts both the escapist and emancipatory dimensions of these practices.

Available September 2014 17 × 24 cm, 6 ¾ × 9 ½ in, 384 pages approx. 250 illustrations, hardcover ISBN 978-3-03778-350-4, English E UR 40.– G BP 35.– USD /CAD 50.–

Richly illustrated with drawings, maps, and photographs, the volume documents phenomena ranging from the continuous, golf-cart-accessible urban landscapes of the world’s largest retirement community in Florida and the mono-national urbanizaciones of “the retirement home of Europe” on Costa del Sol, to the Dutch-themed residential community at Huis Ten Bosch in southern Japan. DEANE SIMPSON is an architect and urban studies expert who teaches at the Royal Danish Academy School of Architecture Copenhagen and at BAS Bergen, where he is professor of architecture and urbanism.

The Villages supports over 1,000 clubs, and more than 1,200 events each month35 compared to the precedent of Sun City that supports just over 130 clubs.36 The most comprehensive clearing house for programming information is published every Thursday in The Villages Daily Sun providing a directory of activities taking place in dozens of recreational centres, 16 movie screens, and “33 golf courses, 55 tennis courts, 48 swimming pools, 9 softball fields [and] 3 fitness clubs.”37 Events are also regularly broadcast in The Villages Magazine, on the radio, television, and on developer and community websites. [B.1.8] Occupational studies researchers investigating the phenomenon of retirement have suggested that a highly organized and active use of leisure time offers, in retirement, the possibility of fulfilling similar levels of structure to that of the working period of ones life. “Serious or committed leisure appears capable of performing some of the B.1.10 In this context, members of the Third Age socio-psychological functions normally associated with employment such as structuring time, providing interests and social relationships, status and identity.”38 In a Foucaultian sense, this mode of hyperactivity ‘disciplines’ retirement time, producing a busy-ness out of leisure, and in so doing, resists the persistent threat of boredom. Boredom in this 1.3 km context is not only a threat in itself, but also in its role as a precursor to contemplation – contemplation often directed towards the larger issue of mortality. The latter therefore represents a serious menace to the insulation of the Third Age from the Fourth. According to Gary Mark, Director of Design: “The VilB.1.10 Construct their individual identity outlages is really a themed lifestyle community.”39 As “Floriside the realm of work (and to varying extents. da’s Friendliest Home Town,” it is both an extensively and intensively themed environment, one that may be framed as an extension of the logic of total-design or hyper-design. Hyper-design, theorized by Bob Somol, Penelope Dean a nd The Orange Studio in the context of the gated communities of Orange County, California, represents a useful conceptualization of themeing in which design is understood as a colonizing force extending the frontier of design: “from “designer objects” to “designer lifestyles” to “designer environments.””40 They describe a condition, manifested most emblematically in the gated enclave in which “design emerges as an

B.1.10 The Villages, The Villages: Our Hometown, 4.

This form of marketing at The Villages may be understood as a contemporary extension of the approach developed for Del Webb’s Sun City – one characterized by the shift away from selling houses to retirees, toward selling complete lifestyles for retirement. As was the case with Del Webb’s Sun City, the lifestyle at The Villages is themed programmatically as a vacation that never ends: “Remember enjoying good times while on vacation with family and friends? The excitement of what to do each day and the possibilities of tomorrow and wishing that it didn’t have to end? Life at The Villages is like being on a permanent vacation! Here you’ll discover the perfect place to enjoy life as you’ve always dreamed.”33 This quality of timeless leisure is reiterated in the range of advertising statements such as “enjoy free golf for the rest of your life”, and “free country club membership for the rest of your life.” In Working at Play: The History of the Vacation in America, social historian Cindy Aron describes the long running tension between the notion of vacation as a regenerative practice necessary for a healthy and productive working population, and the anxiety and guilt of not working as a result of the American protestant work ethic.34 At The Villages, it is the former that is promoted, while an attempt is made to suppress the latter through the application of the habits, organisation and structure of work to leisure. This suppression takes place through a programming of a hyperactive-adult leisure, one that has reached a new level of intensity that far exceeds that of the original active-retirement lifestyle of Sun City. must by definition construct their individual identity outside the

Place and Displacement Exhibiting Architecture

Provisional cover

Edited by Thordis Arrhenius, Mari Lending, Wallis Miller, Jérémie Michael McGowan

Available June 2014 16.5 × 24 cm, 6 ½ × 9 ½ in, 256 pages approx. 60 illustrations, paperback ISBN 978-3-03778-416-7, English E UR 40.– G BP 35.– USD /CAD 50.–

Seemingly immobile and durable, architecture remains a challenge in the modern world of collecting and exhibiting. From the late eighteenth century onward, divergent conventions of display have been conﬂated with urgent discussions of how material culture is handed down, distributed, appropriated, and evaluated. Place and Displacement: Exhibiting Architecture investigates historical and contemporary practices of displaying architecture, whether in full scale or as fragments, models, or two-dimensional representations. Exploring questions of circulation and temporality, issues of institution and canon, and the discourse and politics of architectural spaces on exhibit, the book’s essays discuss the ambiguous status of architecture as an object of display. Contributions from leading scholars in the new research field of architectural exhibitions reveal the centrality of the exhibition in defining and redefining the notion of architecture and its history. THORDIS ARRHE NIUS is an architect and professor in architectural history and theory at the Oslo Center for Critical Architectural Studies (OCCAS), Oslo School of Architecture and Design. MARI LE NDING is a professor in architectural history and theory at the Oslo Center for Critical Architectural Studies (OCCAS), Oslo School of Architecture and Design.

Maria Giuseppina Grasso Cannizzo exhibited at the Venice Biennial in 2004 and 2008, and was honored by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA ) in 2012. That same year she won a gold medal for her life’s work at the Milan Triennial, and has been nominated twice for the Mies van der Rohe Prize. Nevertheless, she’s still considered an insider’s tip. She lives in Vittoria, a small city in southern Sicily, where she realizes the majority of her architecture, including many transformations of historical buildings, single and multiple-family housing, or projects such as the control tower in Marina di Ragusa. Grasso Cannizzo’s special design methods are based on her analyses of the urban context and the landscape, as well as her examination of the specific “story” behind each project. She translates the knowledge gained into minimal, self-aware, and sometimes radical concepts, which are ultimately always open to any changes that life and the passage of time may bring. At the same time, this first comprehensive monograph is also a conceptual manifesto by Grasso Cannizzo. Collected in a black box, loose prints provide insight into her most important buildings and make it possible to see the architect’s general design methods. With texts by Raoul Buntschoten, Pippo Ciorra, Francesco dal Co, Marco de Michelis, Rainer Köberl, Sara Marini With photographs by Hélène Binet, Armin Linke, and Giulia Bruno MARIA G IUSE PPINA G RASSO CANNIZZO was born in 1952. She studied

architecture at the University of Rome, where she also taught from 1974 to 1980. Today she lives and works in Sicily.

Typography My Way to Typography The famous standard work by Wolfgang Weingart, who was honored with the Swiss Grand Prix Design 2014 for his life’s work Since the 1970s Wolfgang Weingart has exerted a decisive inﬂuence on the international development of typography. In the late 1960s he instilled creativity and a desire for experimentation into the ossified Swiss typographical industry and reﬂected this renewal in his own work. Countless designers have been inspired by his teaching at the Basle School of Design and by his lectures. In Typography Weingart gives an unusual and frank narrative of his early life and development as a designer. For the first time he gives a comprehensive survey of his works over the past forty years, most of which are unknown.

Representing a new generation of designers in Japan, Kenya Hara (born 1958) pays tribute to his mentors, using long overlooked Japanese icons and images in much of his work. In Designing Design, he impresses upon the reader the importance of “emptiness” in both the visual and philosophical traditions of Japan, and its application to design, made visible by means of numerous examples from his own work: Hara for instance designed the opening and closing ceremony programs for the Nagano Winter Olympic games 1998. In 2001, he enrolled as a board member for the Japanese label MUJI and has considerably moulded the identity of this successful corporation as communication and design advisor ever since. Kenya Hara, among the leading design personalities in Japan, has also called attention to himself with exhibitions such as Re-Design: the Daily products of the 21st Century of 2000.

100 Jahre Schweizer Design offers a new perspective of Switzerland’s achievements in furniture and product design. The book presents the essential historical designs in chronological sequence, from the regional roots of the early days around 1900 to the globalized network of today. Thirty essays by known experts shed light on themes typical of their times in word and image. Besides the design process, manufacturing techniques, distribution, and reception, the changing roles of the designer— from mediator between form and function, entrepreneur, social worker, to branding architect—are examined. Featuring one hundred key works from the Designsammlung, the world’s largest collection of Swiss design, this reference work is the first to present and discuss a comprehensive show of Swiss designers’ achievements, from the anonymous to the famous. With essays by the editors and Claude Enderle, Meret Ernst, Fredi Fischli, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Sebastian Hackenschmidt, Christof Kübler, Peter Lepel, Claude Lichtenstein, Anne-Claire Schumacher, Christina Sonderegger, Klaus Spechtenhauser, Stanislaus von Moos, and Sophie Wirth-Brentini.

Thoughts and Discussions on the Square Meter Biennale Interieur, Kortrijk 2014

By mapping the multiple ﬂuctuations and meanings of one square meter, this project explores how global forces are transforming the scale of the home In 1968, the first Interieur Design Biennale in Kortrijk marked a point in time when the home was the main site not only of investigation, but for potential social change in the work of architects and designers. Yet the domestic realm progressively disappeared from the agenda over the subsequent decades, in parallel with the increasing marketization of real estate. As the financial crisis of 2008 made visible, homeownership became one more financial instrument to generate revenue—at the same time excluding the younger generations from the property market for the foreseeable future. The square meter can be regarded as the basic unit of a new condition of unstable domesticity. The extent of individual movements, new social patterns, and different family models are all reshaping the very objects that surround us. Yet, this change has gone largely uncharted. By mapping the multiple ﬂuctuations and meanings of one square meter, this project explores how global forces are transforming the scale of the home, from the urban scale down to furniture elements. SQM will draw on contributions from architects, designers, artists, and theorists, in order to bring the space of the domestic interior back into the debate. SPACE CAVIAR is a design research collaborative directed by Joseph Grima.

Based in Genoa, Italy, it operates at the intersection of architecture, technology, politics and the public realm.

Ladislav Sutnar — Visual Design in Action Edited by Reto Caduff and Steven Heller Facsimile Reprint of the original book with the same title published in 1961 Homage to Ladislav Sutnar, the pioneer of information design Reprint of his rare, significant work from 1961

Available October 2014

Sutnar’s brilliant structural systems for clarifying otherwise dense industrial data placed him in the pantheon of Modernist pioneers and made him one of the visionaries of what is today called “information design.” Visual Design in Action is a snapshot of Sutnar’s American period (1939-1976), and includes graphics for Carr’s Department Store, advertisements for the Vera Neumann Company, identity for Addo-X, and other stunningly contemporary works. He is best known for his total design concept for the Sweets Catalog Service and lesser known for introducing the parenthesis as a way to typographically distinguish the area code from the rest of a phone number.

Visual Design in Action is a testament to the historical relevance of Modernism and the philosophical resonance of Sutnar’s focus on the functional beauty of total clarity. This reprint of Visual Design in Action (originally published in limited quantities in 1961) is as spot-on about the power of design and “design thinking” as it ever was.

Soccer, emotion, and the urban image: how everything fits together

Available June 2014 17 × 23 cm, 6 ¾ × 9 in, approx. 80 pages approx. 50 illustrations, hardcover ISBN 978-3-03778-431-0, English E UR 20.– G BP 18.– USD /CAD 29.–

In Brazil soccer is more than just a sport. It is hope for a better future, a distraction from drab everyday life, creator of identity and community, something that makes sense. If there is no ball around, people kick fruit or cans; when there is no field, they make one. Soccer marks the soul of the Brazilian people, as well as the image of city and landscape. Any land that is somewhat level and not overgrown or built up becomes a soccer field. Even though there may be a lack of meeting places, parks, or village centers, there is always a campo de pelada. In this volume, two Brazilian photographers seek and find soccer in places where one might not expect to find it. Leonardo Finotti creates a kind of inventory, showing pictures from his series Campos Sagrados, for which he traveled through all of Brazil, to neighborhoods rich and poor, to industrial zones, urban peripheries, and to the country, to take photographs from an elevated standpoint of temporary and “real” soccer fields and their surroundings. In his photo series Brasilieiros Futebol Clube Ed Viggiani accompanies his fellow countrymen everywhere where soccer is played or a team followed. An essay by the successful young author J. P. Cuenca contributes yet more to this exploration of what soccer really means in Brazil. LEONARDO FINOTTI , born in 1958, is an architecural photographer from São Paulo. E D VIGG IANI , born in 1977, is a documentary photographer from São Paulo. J. P. CUE NCA , born in 1978, is a writer from Rio de Janeiro.

A famous photographer questions the relationship between visible reality and the photographic reproduction Over the now more than forty-five years that he has been studying and exploring photography, Christian Vogt has discovered new visual vocabularies again and again. His new work, It has always been there, it has only grown stronger, consists almost exclusively of contrasting pairs of pictures. In it he also questions the relationship between visible reality and its photographic reproduction, between image and text, between seeing and knowing. Deliberately dispensing with digital photography and occasionally working with a pinhole camera, he deals with the “necessary nonsense,” with unifying opposites, with actual and supposed paradoxes, defining some things through exploration and allowing others to remain undefined. CHRISTIAN VOGT was born in Basel in 1946. His works are shown in renowned

museums, galleries, and institutions around the world. Vogt is the author or co-author of numerous books, and catalogues, and the subject of many others worldwide.

Presence A Conversation at Cabaret Voltaire, Zurich

Knowledge as theater: protocol from a very special symposium Typography becomes a means of expressing emotion The concept of “presence” has made a prominent return to the arts, humanities, and social sciences. Zurich’s historical Cabaret Voltaire — cradle of the Dada movement nearly a century ago — an experimental international symposium put the topic of “presence” under the microscope, reversing academic routine. Not at all one of those usual post-conference books, this volume is conceived as a theatrical polylogue of speakers, ideas, and offstage characters. The discussion has been transcribed and edited. Monologues, more like traditional statements, are collaged into this conversation so as to reveal new juxtapositions and to give a performative turn to the concept of presence. The lively conversation is enhanced by theatrical conventions: characters enter and exit, and stage directions mirror some of the spatial proximity of the cabaret. Among the participants: Elisabeth Bronfen, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Michael Hampe, Mark Jarzombek, Amelia Jones, Tom Levin, Dieter Mersch, Rebecca Schneider, Peter Zumthor.

Life in the digital economy of information and images enriches us but often induces a sense of being overwhelmed. Sensing the Future: Moholy-Nagy, Media and the Arts considers the impact of technology by exploring ways it was addressed in the practice of the Hungarian polymath artist László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), a prominent professor at the Bauhaus and a key figure in the history of Modernism. Moholy-Nagy felt that people needed guidance to cope with the onslaught of sensory input in an increasingly technologized, mediatized, hyper-stimulating environment. His ideas informed media theorists such as Walter Benjamin, John Cage, Sigfried Giedion, and Marshall McLuhan, who anticipated digital culture as it emerged. Should we then regard Moholy-Nagy as a pioneer of the digital? His aesthetic engagement with the technology/body problematic broached the notions of immersion, interactivity and bodily participation, innately offering a critique of today’s disembodiment. Was he then both a pioneer and a proto-critic of the digital? This book is intended to introduce this seminal figure of post-medial practices to younger generations and, by including responses to his work by contemporary artists, to reﬂect on the ways in which his work is relevant to artistic practice now. OLIVE R A. I. BOTAR is Professor of Art History at the University of Manitoba in Canada. He is the author of Technical Detours: The Early Moholy-Nagy Reconsidered (2006, in Hungarian, 2007) and A Bauhäusler in Canada: Andor Weininger in the 50s (2009), and is co-editor of Biocentrism and Modernism (with Isabel Wünsche, 2011) and Telehor (with Klemens Gruber, 2013).

The works of the British architect Nicholas Hawksmoor (ca. 1661–1736) are considered important contributions to British and European architectural culture.

Ethics of the Urban

What is a city? What defines its specificity? What comprises its characteristics? Many people interact in the urban space, instigating transformational processes whose objectives often seem irreconcilable. Thus, the development of a city today is not linear and the process of global urbanization does not produce one, single homogenous space. Using the categories of “territory,” “power,” and “difference,” The Inevitable Speciﬁcity of Cities investigates various cities and urban areas, pointing out different features of their physical and social existence. With essays by Roger Diener, Mathias Gunz, Manuel Herz, Jacques Herzog, Rolf Jenni, Marcel Meili, Shadi Rahbaran, Christian Schmid, and Milica Topalovic.

The special exhibition Die gute Form, put on by the Swiss Werkbund (SWB) at the Basel trade fair in 1949, was an event that caused a furor far beyond Switzerland’s borders. The renowned architect, designer, and graphic artist Max Bill was the mastermind behind the idea and personally selected the exhibits and designed their setting. Eighty exhibition panels showed consumer objects of exemplary design, from a teacup to the jet plane. This publication documents Bill’s initiative in an international, theoretical and design-historical context, and examines its background.

Over the past two decades, Olafur Eliasson has regularly travelled to Iceland to photograph the island’s landscape and natural phenomena. This on-going venture – almost cartographical in its scope – has resulted in approximately eighty photo series to date. Far from merely documenting the terrain, Eliasson’s images reﬂect on our relationship to nature and to the physical space in which we exist. His exploration of the landscape is also an exploration of the body’s motion through space: in moving up and moving down, in gaining a physical sense of time, in assuming different perspectives, the body in effect negotiates and co-produces space, central concerns equally reﬂected in the other areas of Eliasson’s work. An artwork in its own right, this book presents photographs chosen by the artist and in dialogue with other works of his. By personally curating the sequences of images within the book, Eliasson grants the reader a glimpse into a significant source of inspiration for him – the Icelandic landscape.

Baku: Oil and Urbanism is an architectural study by Eve Blau, adjunct professor for the history of urban form at Harvard University Graduate School of Design, about the relationship between oil and urban planning. She examines Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, which once belonged to the Russian Empire and the USSR, and has been marked by the presence of oil since the end of the nineteenth century. Baku was also the showplace for one of the most spectacular, Soviet-era urban construction and infrastructure projects ever—Neft Dashlari, the world’s first offshore oil platform, a city on stilts in the Caspian Sea. Today Baku is experiencing a second oil boom.

With its high-quality silk screen prints, the publication makes the “black palette” tangible to the reader, belying the notion that black is the mere absence of light. On the contrary, the various tones of black emphasize the nuances of light and dark.

Genealogy of Modern Architecture is a reference work on modern architecture by Kenneth Frampton, one of today’s leading architectural theorists. Conceived as a genealogy of twentieth century architecture from 1924 to 2000, it compiles some sixteen comparative analyses of canonical modern buildings ranging from exhibition pavilions and private houses to office buildings and various kinds of public institutions. The buildings are compared in terms of their hierarchical spatial order, circulation structure and referential details. The analyses are organized so as to show what is similar and different between two paired types, thus revealing how modern tradition has been diversely inﬂected. Richly illustrated, Genealogy of Modern Architecture is a new standard work in architectural education.

Sean Lally the MediCaLization of arChiteCture

Today we are anxious about ground pollution, food safety, smog, obesity and aging. Because almost everything in our surroundings is perceived as a possible source of disease, the health, defence and fortification of the body is an obsessive pursuit. Design is also affected by such anxieties. Imperfect Health investigates the historical connections between health, design and the environment, bringing to light uncertainties and contradictions in cultures informed by Western medicine, to insist on a challenging hypothesis: that urbanism, landscape design and architecture take care of their “inhabitants,” instead of seeking an ultimate cure.
