NEW<br />
Ferran Adrià has not only revolutionized gastronomy, but has also suspended<br />
the limits between the worlds of cooking and art. Edited by legendary pop-artist<br />
Richard Hamilton and Tate Modern Director, Vicente Todolí, a thought-provoking<br />
and inspriring look at artistic and gastronomic creativity through the world’s<br />
most revolutionary chef.<br />
Ferran Adrià has revolutionized the world of gastronomy and his restaurant, elBulli, is recognized<br />
as the world’s best restaurant. So original and poetically sensible is Adrià’s approach to<br />
cooking that he is considered to be the greatest ¨artist of the kitchen.¨ Food for Thought explores<br />
the essence of elBulli’s creativity with hundreds of color photographs of Adrià’s creations,<br />
including, for the first time ever, every single dish ever created by elBulli. Inspired by Adrià’s<br />
controversial participation in Documenta 12, this seductive volume features lively dialogue between<br />
the most potent critics and creators of the art and gastronomic worlds including: Heston<br />
Blumenthal, Bill Buford, Jerry Saltz, Massmiliano Gioni, Anya Gallaccio, Peter Kubelka, Antoni<br />
Miralda, Carsten Holler, Bice Curiger, among several others.
“A fascinating combination of food and<br />
art, a new volume edited by two prominent<br />
20th century artists looks at artwork culinary<br />
and otherwise from one of the world’s<br />
greatest chefs, Ferran Adrià.”<br />
Publishers Weekly<br />
ABOUT THE EDITOR<br />
Vicente Todolí is the Director<br />
of the Tate Modern in London.<br />
His 20 year career in the<br />
visual arts includes directing<br />
the IVAM (Institute of Modern<br />
Art of Valenica), acting on the<br />
Advisory Committee of Carnegie<br />
International and on the<br />
acquisitions committee for the<br />
MACBA (Musuem of Contemporary<br />
Art of Barcelona).<br />
ABOUT THE EDITOR<br />
Richard Hamilton is one<br />
of the gurus of 20th century<br />
art. His collage “Just what is<br />
it that makes today’s homes<br />
so different, so appealing?”<br />
revolutionized pop art. His<br />
transgressive influence continues<br />
to dynamically impact the<br />
art world today.

ABOUT FERRAN ADRIÀ<br />
Ferran Adrià has revolutionized the world of gastronomy over the last 20 years. Adrià has<br />
appeared on the cover of The New York Times Magazine as the leader of “New Nouvelle Cuisine.”<br />
Le Monde named him as the best chef in the world and Time magazine included him in<br />
the <strong>10</strong>0 most influential personalities on the planet. Adrià’s restaurant, elBulli, was awarded 3<br />
Michelin stars and recognized 5 times as the world’s best restaurant by The Restaurant Magazine.<br />
So original and poetically sensible is his approach to cooking that he is considered to be<br />
the greatest ¨artist of the kitchen¨ of his generation. In 2007, Adrià was the first chef ever to<br />
be invited to participate in Documenta (Kassel, Germany), considered to be the most important<br />
international art exhibition.

Following on from Moussavi’s critically acclaimed first book, The Function of Ornament,<br />
The Function of Form comprises a comprehensive set of material systems,<br />
and analyses ways in which they can be tessellated to produce novel forms.<br />
‘Form follows function.’ There has never been a more seductive dictum in the history of architecture.<br />
In The Function of Form, internationally acclaimed architect, Farshid Moussavi, provides<br />
a provocative critique of the historically opposing relationship between function and form<br />
to reveal the contradiction at the heart of modernism. We need to move away from the definition<br />
of function as utility, she argues, to align it with how function is defined in mathematics,<br />
biology or music. Form, on the other hand, should be considered not only in the way buildings<br />
are produced, but also how they perform sensorially. Function and form, considered together<br />
in architecture, stand in opposition to the dualism which defined our approach to the built environment<br />
throughout the twentieth century. This book provides a thought-provoking account<br />
of the challenges facing the 21st century built environment, and an enlivened awareness of<br />
the wider possibilities of architectural form. ABOUT FERRAN ADRIÀ ABOUT FERRAN

NEW NEW<br />
AGENDA occupies the territory between a monograph, diary, and a collection of<br />
essays, interviews, and conversations, produced by JDS Architects with a wide<br />
range of contributors and collaborators.<br />
Starting from the belief that an agenda is not simply an expression of individual intentions, but<br />
rather a vector for the production of new realities, AGENDA addresses the need for architecture<br />
to transform itself in an era of ecological and economic crisis. “Change,” the buzzword<br />
of the last U.S. presidential campaign, is indeed the order of the day, and AGENDA explores<br />
exactly what kind of change will be needed if architects are to assume a political and social<br />
agency in this new landscape. The book seeks to define not only the work of JDS Architects,<br />
but also the challenges and situations confronting young architectural practices emerging at<br />
a time of crisis. An ambitious attempt to describe the conditions within which architecture is<br />
produced today.<br />

(continuation)<br />
Bringing together diverse forms of content, AGENDA will be a product of careful<br />
curation, vigilant observation, introspection, and engagement with outside<br />
thinkers from various fields.<br />
Going beyond a typical monograph, it will include not only drawings, images, and project descriptions,<br />
but also travelogues, lectures, written and graphic essays, vital indices and office<br />
statistics, and related research trajectories that distinguish the practice and emphasize the<br />
interdependence of its multiple interests and activities.<br />
The book will be organized chronologically like a diary, starting with the symbolic onset of the<br />
financial crisis, the fall of Lehman Brothers in September of 2008. In parallel with the diary, the<br />
book will contain essays and interviews that explore topics related to architecture, politics, and<br />
the contemporary city, discussing strategies latent in the office’s work and envisioning new<br />
ways of operating in architecture (and beyond) in the post-crisis era.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR<br />
JDS/Julien De Smedt<br />
Architects is a multidisciplinary<br />
office that focuses on<br />
architecture and design, from<br />
large scale urban planning to<br />
furniture to design. The office<br />
is fuelled by talented designers<br />
and experienced architects<br />
who jointly develop projects<br />
from the early sketch to onsite<br />
supervision. Independent<br />
of scale, this outlines an<br />
approach that is affirmatively<br />
social in its outcome, enthusiastic<br />
in its ambition and professional<br />
in its method. JDS is<br />
founded and directed by<br />
Julien de Smedt, co-founder<br />
of PLOT.

COVER IN<br />
PROGRESS<br />
This is the first monograph that compiles the complete work of Enric Ruiz Geli,<br />
an architect who is as atypical as innovative.<br />
Perhaps Villa Nurbs is the most important construction laboratory, both in terms of technology<br />
and size, that is currently being made in the planet (currently 6 patents have been created).<br />
Ruiz Geli perfectly embodies the archetype of the active independent, of the Total Designer<br />
that Fuller defined in 1949 as an emerging synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, target economist<br />
and strategic of evolution. A professional who understands and who constantly proves<br />
that ideas are not powerful if they do not connect with the drives. (Manuel Ocaña)<br />
Contributions by Paul Virilio, Jeremy Rifkin, José María Torres Nadal and Manuel Ocaña among<br />
others.

A unique inquiry into today’s most exceptional international contemporary housing<br />
projects, organized by their innovative contributions at the unit, building, or<br />
city level.<br />
Necessity and investigation are prerequisites for the design of housing: social, environmental,<br />
and economic factors affect form. This new survey into multi-family housing focuses on the<br />
responses proposed by architects who are dealing with the dynamic and diverse demands of<br />
contemporary society. Featuring works by Lacaton&Vassal, BIG+JDS, Sadar Vuga Arhitekti,<br />
Ryue Nishizawa, FOA, SHoP, and many emerging new architects, this volume is not a simple<br />
catalog, but rather a studied collection of inventive projects.

Innovative proposals for constructing self-sufficient dwellings through digital<br />
technologies.<br />
The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia investigates global projects for sustainable<br />
development on the cutting edge of self-sufficient housing, addressing environmental,<br />
economic and social needs. The projects investigate construction techniques and processes<br />
to build houses with local means, from the intelligent application of traditional techniques to<br />
advanced digital processes and fabrication. This book is a fascinating compilation of the most<br />
innovative projects for single dwellings and residential buildings, proposing the most creative<br />
designs and construction through the use of new materials and energy systems, and the integration<br />
of architecture into the landscape.<br />
Based in Barcelona, the IAAC is an international centre of architectural research in territorial<br />
analysis, urban development, digital fabrications and informational environments for improving<br />

Published for the first time, a compilation by practitioners across parametric and<br />

Parametric and algorithmic design are two of the fastest emerging, most radical technologies<br />
reshaping architecture today. This book presents six independent practices that explore current<br />
applications of parametric and algorithmic design techniques in architectural production. If<br />
the first generation of digital modeling programs allowed designers to conceive new forms and<br />
design processes, a new breed of digital techniques is today being discussed for their ability<br />
to allow these forms to be controlled and realized. How are these techniques affecting architectural<br />
practice and what potentials do they offer the discipline? A compilation of projects<br />
from leading practitioners across the fields of parametric and algorithmic design for a multiperspective<br />
debate on the future of design. Featuring: Mutsuro Sasaki, AGU (Arup), Aranda-<br />
Lasch, Michael Meredith and Hillary Sample (mos), P.art (AKT), Designtoproduction, and a<br />

Selections from 70 little architectural magazines (1969-1970) that transformed<br />
architectural culture. Three books specially packaged together.<br />
An explosion of little architectural magazines in the 1960s and 1970s instigated a radical<br />
transformation in architectural culture, as the magazines acted as a site of innovation and<br />
debate. Clip Stamp Fold takes stock of seventy little magazines from this period that were<br />
published in over a dozen cities. Coined in the early twentieth century to designate progressive<br />
literary journals, the term “little magazine” was remobilized during the 1960s to grapple with<br />
the contemporary proliferation of independent architectural periodicals. The terms “little” and<br />
“magazine” are not taken at face value. In addition to short-lived radical magazines, Clip Stamp<br />
Fold includes pamphlets and building instruction manuals along with professional magazines<br />
that experienced “moments of littleness,” influenced by the graphics and intellectual concerns<br />
of their self-published contemporaries.

A graphic guide to ornaments of 20th century building envelopes.<br />
A graphic guide to 20th century ornaments. Rigorous drawings of iconic projects unveil the<br />
function of ornament as the agent for specific affects, dismantling the idea that ornament is<br />
applied to buildings as a discrete or non-essential entity. Each case exploits specific synergies<br />
between the exterior and the interior, constructing an internal order between ornament and<br />
material. These internal orders produce contemporary expressions whose affects are resilient<br />
in time. Initiated as a seminar at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Farshid<br />
Moussavi is a partner in leading London-based firm Foreign Office Architects.

Cloud 9 surprises again with the Media-tic building where digital and performative<br />
architecture meet.<br />
The MediaTic building is designed to be a communications hub and meeting point for businesses<br />
and institutions in the world of information and communication technologies (I<strong>CT</strong>s), as<br />
well as for the media and audio-visual sectors. Now, in the Information era, architecture has<br />
to be a technological platform, in which bits, connectivity, new materials, and nanotechnology<br />
are important. Connections are more relevant than materials. Its complex façade, made of<br />
ETFE, represents digital construction, the construction of of information. It responds to the<br />
user’s necessity: when too much direct sunlight, the ETFE skin protects the inside. When light<br />
is needed it opens itself and lets the daylight in. The result is an eco-energy-efficient building.<br />
This book unveils the most intriguing and exceptional facts of this building. A fine example of<br />
what is called “performative architecture”.

The acclaimed Spanish architect proposes new urban designs through<br />
geography and logic.<br />
Vicente Guallart, pioneer of new media, examines the technological, social and cultural changes<br />
in our information society for new urban building. Presenting the last 15 years of his work,<br />
this book investigates architecture’s ability to construct systems for inhabitable environments<br />
in diverse environmental, social, and economic conditions. His collaborations with specialists in<br />
geology, anthropology, sociology, engineering, economics, software and interface design have<br />
blurred traditional boundaries. The projects follow a “natural” logic, referring to components<br />
originating in nature, as well as to environmental systems. A logic that connects nature with the<br />
transformations of urban spaces, social organizations, and the digital world. Vicente Guallart<br />
is the Director of Sociópolis (Valencia), an innovative international housing project for urban<br />
development.

A compelling collection of recent projects, both built and unbuilt, by Barcelonabased<br />
architect Josep Lluís Mateo. A fascinating interface between the “occasion”<br />
of a project and its built reality.<br />
Josep Lluís Mateo is one of Spain’s most influential architects today. This book brings together<br />
his recent projects, his influences, his references together with material from interviews and<br />
a wealth of images. It is, in a nutshell, his work philosophy. Conversations, reflections and<br />
projects completed in the last five years are presented as realities and actions, interpreted<br />
through this concept, which can be contemplated as infinity of individual forms of contacting<br />
with reality and acting upon it. For Josep Lluís Mateo, the crux of this work is to analyse, from<br />
the perspective of his unique work, the state of issues and situations today in architecture and<br />
to interact accordingly with exterior space.

RIBA Book Review<br />
The first monograph by the renowned Foreign Office Architects (FOA),<br />
a decade of projects.<br />
Through a series of competitions, commissions, and built work, FOA’s first monograph is structured<br />
to reflect the development of their specific attitudes and the technical arsenal within their<br />
practice. The resultant body of work is not simply a series of experiments, but a consistent<br />
reservoir of architectural species that will continue to proliferate, mutate, and evolve in the<br />
coming years. With the spirit of scientific classification, the genesis of an architectural project<br />
is identified within a series of phylum, actualized and simultaneously virtualized, in their specific<br />
application to the unique conditions of a project’s location. Phylogenesis also includes a collection<br />
of texts from various critics who investigate topics related to FOA’s discourse.

A theoretical 3-D city by the acclaimed MVRDV.<br />
Three-dimensionality can be seen as architecture’s fundamental existence, the profession’s<br />
acclaimed domain. In times of globalism and scale enlargement, an update of this definition<br />
seems needed: metres turn into kilometres, “M3” becomes “KM3”. KM3 is a story about a world<br />
that is getting dense. Very dense. It constructs its logical response: a city that is denser. A city<br />
that is continuously under construction, with space for limitless capacities, populations. Beyond<br />
scarcity. Beyond separation. Beyond pessimism and protectionism. The 3D City. A free-fall in<br />
endless space. From right to left, from front to back, from above to below. Pure depth. KM3<br />
is more a construct than an analysis. KM3 is a hypothesis, a theoretical city, a possible urban<br />
theory. KM3 can also be seen as a science-fiction novel, a twin pair that describes this upcoming<br />
city as an emerging presence, an already existing ‘other’ world. The book includes a DVD<br />
of animations and two urban planning software programs by MVRDV.<br />
MVRDV was set up in Rotterdam (the Netherlands) in 1991 by Winy Maas, Jacob van Rijs and<br />
Nathalie de Vries. MVRDV produces designs and studies in the fields of architecture, urbanism<br />
and landscape design.<br />

This analysis claims for the need of a new post-iconic architecture, far beyond<br />
the marketing machineries that characterize architecture today.<br />
In the past, buildings and other constructions representing singular moments for the community<br />
were called monuments. Their origin was expression of power, celebration of ritual<br />
or collective affirmation. In the contemporary world, a project that aspires to be exceptionally<br />
expressive is commonly called an icon. This book claims that star-architects and their “iconic”<br />
architecture are no longer valid today, as these projects are all driven by marketing machineries.<br />
Architecture should re-emerge as a credible artefact and fulfill the transcendent demands<br />
of our time. The publication begins with a series of general texts on themes that vary but all<br />
share a common critical look at the role of the iconic on the recent architecture scene.

A mapping of infrastructures shaping contemporary life.<br />
NOW IN PAPERBACK<br />
Once the greatest American example of a modern city served by infrastructure, Los Angeles<br />
is now in perpetual crisis. Infrastructure has ceased to support its urban plans, subordinating<br />
architecture to its own purposes. This out-of-control but networked world is increasingly organized<br />
by flows of objects and information. Static structures avoid being superfluous by joining<br />
this system as temporary containers for people, objects, and capital. This provocative collection<br />
of photography, essays, and maps looks at infrastructure as a way of mapping our place in the<br />
city and affecting change through architecture.<br />
A project by Network Architecture Lab (directed by Kazys Varnelis) and the LA Forum for<br />
Architecture & Urban Design featuring: Lane Barden, Barry Lehrman, David Fletcher, Frank<br />
Ruchala, Matt Coolidge, CLUI, Warren Techentin, Ted Kane, Rick Miller, Roger Sherman, Deborah<br />
Richmond, Robert Sumrell, Steve Rowell, Sean Dockray and Fiona Whitton.

Transition is a condition that creates opportunities for architecture and urbanism. Zagreb is<br />
the perfect site for examining this generative dynamic: practicing in conditions of continuous<br />
instability, its architects and planners developed strategies for creatively engaging the conditional<br />
and open-ended—for anticipating and instrumentalizing the condition of irresolution.<br />
Moving between texts, maps, and diagrams, Project Zagreb reads the city as an open work,<br />
dynamic but coherent, in which architecture plays an active role in the formation of both urban<br />
practices and the city itself. Initiated as a seminar at the Harvard University Graduate School<br />
of Design, the book features new mapping and diagrams with many original texts and neverbefore<br />
published photos.<br />
Transcription from the round table discussion<br />
and Work Cabinets from the<br />
seminar workshop Think Madrid, which<br />
took place in La Casa Encendida the<br />
8th and 9th of Octuber 2008.
“Wonderfully designed... the book itself<br />
‘opens’ into two, so the reader can take in<br />

Architectural itineraries that lead to new urbanisms.<br />
A guidebook to architecture’s future that follows three urban and historical itineraries: Silicon<br />
Valley in Northern California; New York’s internal suburbias; and Gurgaon, a burgeoning corporate<br />
city outside of New Delhi. Like so many, these cities are caught within the feedback<br />
loops of the Information Age, which makes them important nodes in a single Multi-National<br />
City stretching across the globe. With interconnected stories, this book tours the architectural<br />
monuments of corporate globalization past and present. Reinhold Martin directs the Architecture<br />
Ph.D. Program (Columbia University) and wrote The Organizational Complex. Kadambari<br />
Baxi is the principle designer of imageMachine, multimedia design.<br />

An “atlas” of urban informality, examining the favelas of Brazil as a case study.<br />
In Rio de Janeiro over 1 million people live in so-called favelas. “Informal” or unregulated urban<br />
conditions are a paradigm fast becoming the defining characteristic of 21st century urban life.<br />
It organizes not just housing, but also infrastructures, geographies, economies, and politics.<br />
How do favelas propose a new model for the contemporary city? <strong>10</strong>0% Favela brings together,<br />
for the first time in translation, Brazil’s leading architects, urbanists, photographers, and economists<br />
to discuss the informal city in its myriad of forms. An exploration of the international<br />
scope of informality and its impact on urbanists and architects. Contributors include Nelson<br />
Brissac, Paola Berenstein-Jacques, Hernando de Soto, Keith Hart, Alba Zaluar, Hermano Vianna,<br />
Licia Valladares, Armin Linke, Andre Cypriano, Nelson Kon, Amy Chazkel.

An essential work for understanding the contemporary Chinese city.<br />
Beijing, fresh from the summer 2008 Olympic Games and Shanghai, to host the 20<strong>10</strong> Universal<br />
Exposition, are both cities which have undergone an architectonic and urban metamorphosis<br />
without precedent for dimension or speed. This metamorphosis has transformed the whole<br />
of China and deeply affected the lives of millions. The book first illustrates the history of urban<br />
China, from its acceleration over the 20th century to its metamorphosis over the last decade. It<br />
then explores 8 cities: diverse megalopolises including popular Shanghai and Beijing, famous<br />
Suzhou and Xi’an, the unknown conurbian between Canton and Shenzhen on the Pearl River,<br />
and the emerging Chongqin with the gigantic three Gorges Dam Project. Texts by Danielle<br />

A comprehensive study of the changing physical, social and environmental conditions<br />
of Shanghai as a global metropolis.<br />
This comprehensive study of Shanghai’s profound urban transformation presents the bold<br />
new opportunity for architecture and urbanism that Shanghai represents. Immersed in a deep<br />
physical transformation with the upcoming 20<strong>10</strong> World Expo, Shanghai is reconsidering relationships<br />
within the city and surrounding neighborhoods. Shanghai Transforming examines<br />
this complex transformation through history, natural and artificial resources, economy, society,<br />
and public perception. With illustrations, texts, maps, and photos, this is a rich resource for<br />
understanding Shanghai’s past and future, through a transformation which is highly unique for<br />
speed, scale, and politics.

Spanning 15 years of propositions for suburban cities, particularly Houston,<br />
from the Rice School of Architecture.<br />
Everything Must Move is a book documenting over a decade of propositions for the suburban<br />
city in general, and Houston in particular. This city shapeless, polluted, traffic-clogged, waterlogged,<br />
and limitless has been a workshop for testing ideas about operating in impossible<br />
situations. Everything Must Move is, in many ways, an archival project, however through the<br />
infusion of this archival material with new perspectives and projections the project remains<br />
poly-vocal, diverse, and open.This new material presented mainly in the form of short essays,<br />
written in response to the projects, photographs, and research that form the backbone of<br />
the the project that Rice School of Architecture, under the direction of dean Lars Lerup, has<br />
undertaken over the last 15 years.

The latest book by acclaimed architectural writer, Sanford Kwinter.<br />
Sanford Kwinter ponders the complex encounters between technology, culture, and architecture.<br />
Critical essays offer an extended meditation on infrastructure, war, computation, mechanical<br />
and material intelligence, and other multivariate facets of modernity. Far-reaching in scope,<br />
this book is a performance in writing of what Kwinter describes as radical anamnesis: “the<br />
imagination’s escape from the sterile logic of what is.” Compiling over a decade of architectural<br />
and critical writings, many published here for the first time, this is essential reading for anyone<br />
interested in the state of architecture and criticism today. A primer for (re)thinking design in<br />
the 21st century.

Hungarian architect, Yona Friedman, presents a personal selection of his work.<br />
Yona Friedman published his first manifesto (1958) on “mobile architecture” and founded<br />
Groupe d’Etude d’Architecture Mobile, which proposed different strategies for the adaptation<br />
of architecture to modern needs for social and physical mobility. Friedman claims that<br />
architectural knowledge cannot be the exclusive property of professionals and specialists, and<br />
proposes guides for architecture and urban planning in simple terms. This is “a collection of<br />
scattered topics” selected by the author himself for “sentimental value”, spanning a 50 year period<br />
of production. Building structure studies, urban design theories, observations on regional<br />
development, and design manuals for self-construction and competition projects.<br />

In the format of a cross-referenced dictionary, Metapolis defines a global<br />
overview of contemporary design concerns.<br />
As a dictionary of cross-referenced terms, Metapolis identifies a new architectural will within<br />
the contemporary social and cultural panorama. It contributes to a global vision of the emerging<br />
new architecture that participates in “advanced culture” and visual art disciplines and technology.<br />
The book speaks of an architecture inscribed in the information society and influenced<br />
by the new technologies, the new economy, environmental concerns and individual interests.<br />
The diversity of authors and works is invaluable for the generational intersections in theory<br />
discourse. Featuring: Manuel Gausa, Vicente Guallart, Willy Müller, Federico Soriano, José Morales,<br />
Fernando Porras, Iñaki Ábalos y Juan Herreros, José Alfonso Ballesteros, Xavier Costa,<br />
Enric Ruiz-Geli, Alejandro Zaera Polo.
A selection of recent projects transforming the city by French architects.<br />
The concept of “generosity” is explored through a selection of architectural works contributing<br />
to the city. These “generous” projects give new value to urban density, public space, and<br />
architectural ethics, creating new and unexpected uses for buildings and setting a base for<br />
cultural transformation. The featured French architects and collectives are acclaimed for their<br />
rich exchange of ideas and for creating innovative interfaces between buildings and city.<br />

Compelling urban theories and projects by the “pioneer of the shopping center.”<br />
Architect Victor Gruen (1903-80) was one of the most crucial figures in the mid-century<br />
debates on the American city’s development. His work and influence during the 50s and 60s<br />
was driven by urban planning problems with the onset of new suburbias, highways, and the<br />
deterioration of downtowns. Dubbed the “pioneer of the shopping center,” Gruen envisioned<br />
the suburban mall as a new type of urban public space in the freshly dispersed residential fabric.<br />
Presenting over 30 years of theories and projects by Gruen, Alex Wall conveys the largely<br />
overlooked story of conflict between the ambition of an architect and the transformation of<br />
American cities and landscape. He proposes new insights into postwar architecture and the<br />
relevancy of Gruen’s theories in urban discourse today.

A compilation of 30 innovative architectonic inventions in Catalonia.<br />
“The editors have admirably<br />
compiled a varied selection of<br />
architectural designs.”<br />
Archidose<br />
The architecture produced in Catalonia has often been in the vanguard of Europe, especially<br />
since Barcelona hosted the 1992 Olympics. This book is an exciting overview of innovative<br />
spaces and techniques made in Catalonia, presenting a cross section of ‘products’ as well as<br />
the buildings and environments for which they were conceived. The products solve specific<br />
program requirements, new social demands, environmental needs, budget limitations and design<br />
aspirations to improve on the status quo. They are proving grounds of architectural innovation.<br />

40 years of Catalonian architectural production, that has never been constructed.<br />
The exhibition ‘Architectures without Place (1968-2008)’ presents a series of works that either<br />
were never built or no longer exist: a vast field which ranges from theoretical speculations,<br />
visionary prefigurings and ideas competitions to modified projects, ephemeral installations and<br />
botched buildings. This variegated realm of the unbuilt (or of the now non-existent) allows us to<br />
analyse the conceptual heritage of a long period of Catalonian cultural history; in other words,<br />
it lets us dissect forty years of architecture produced locally, highlighting the prevailing ideas at<br />
each step of the way. This is a heterogeneous field of project design in which converge other<br />
disciplines fuelled by a powerful desire to articulate and transform space: comics, theatre, film,<br />
ephemeral installations and the visual arts in general.

The first monograph on the innovative engineering firm,<br />
proposing new connections between radical engineering and design.<br />
Collaborating with leading architects like Zaha Hadid, Foreign Office Architects, Norman Foster,<br />
and Will Alsop, Adams Kara Taylor have become the engineers of choice for projects that<br />
redefine the conventional boundaries between structural engineering and architecture. Their<br />
holistic approach expands structural thinking to include technical solutions, aesthetics, and<br />
advanced research to adapt both diverse architectures and design methodologies. Organized<br />
into a series of synthetic themes — complexity, trans-scalarity, modelling, process — this book<br />
presents a cross-section of diverse projects and methods as a manual for new relations between<br />
radical engineering and design. Featuring: Alejandro Zaera-Polo, Simon Allford, Patrik<br />
Schumacher, Tim Anstey, Mohsen Mostafavi, and Michael Speaks. Adams Kara Taylor is a<br />
design-led engineering firm based in London.

An investigating of the evolution and roles that have become recognised today<br />
as the façade envelope in contemporary architectonic production.<br />
This text looks at the evolution and roles that have become recognised today as the façade envelope<br />
in contemporary architectonic output. The ever-more radical separation between structure<br />
and shell entrusts that the latter become the expressive and communicative functions<br />
of the building. This appears to represent a belated victory for the once famous “Bekleidung<br />
prinzip” which, though first expressed a century ago, opened the discussion over an articulated<br />
and problematic phenomenon, whose basis we can investigate today with technical know-how<br />
and new theoretical knowledge. The evolutionary dynamics of the processes of planning and<br />
building in architecture, external factors related to the marketplace and the production of new<br />
materials filled with untapped expressive potential, the increase in the demand for results and<br />
performance of the building system, all these have had their influence on the phenomenon.

How does architecture relate to 17th century Dutch painting? Architects Ricardo Flores and<br />

time, a period which marks when everyday life started to be represented in art. This was the<br />
starting point for an architecture workshop at the University of New South Wales in Sydney,<br />

How do you translate Giorgio Armani into architecture? For the Armani/Ginza Tower, it was<br />
essential to project not only Giorgio Armani’s creativity as a designer, but his one and only<br />
personality, recreating the atmosphere of the atelier of the Italian creative genius, as well as his<br />
aesthetic code and personal image. How do you combine the concept of luxury with restrained<br />
elegance, the concept of absolute modernity with a lasting style… the Armani style? In Tokyo,<br />

The processes of de-construction and re-construction of the Barceloneta market,<br />
an architectural project by Josep Miàs.<br />
This market in the neighbourhood of la Barceloneta was one of the first covered markets<br />
built in Barcelona, It was 1884, and was constructed with a metal structure. It was partially<br />
destroyed by bombs during the Civil War. This recent remodelling is seen as a continuity of the<br />
old structure from 1884, and as a continuity of all the changes in this highly dense neighbourhood.<br />
The market seeks to form part of its urban fabric and Miàs’ project is a clear example<br />
of integration. This book, richly illustrated, gives a comprehensive insight to the remodellation<br />
project. Josep Miàs graduated in 1992 at the Architecture School in Barcelona (ETSAB). For<br />
<strong>10</strong> years he worked at Enric Miralles office as associated architect. In 2000 he founded Mias<br />
Arquitectes. He teaches at the School of Architecture and gives seminars and conferences all<br />
over the world. In 2007 he received the Barcelona City Prize of Architecure and Urbanism for<br />
his project The Barceloneta Market.<br />

Compilation of data concerning projects for the construction of libraries.<br />
The first edition (Spanish only version) of this book was a great success, first printed in 2001,<br />
and its second edition in 2004 was a confirmation not only of that earlier success, but also of a<br />
renewed interest in library architecture. This first English version could also be seen as a third<br />
edition, given that the first appendix, covering guidelines, is totally new; the numerical data in<br />
the second appendix has been revised, and the section dedicated to projects now includes the<br />
Jaume Fuster library by Josep Llinàs and Joan Vera. Also information dealing with legal and<br />
regulatory framework now has an international focus. This is a practical book which accurately<br />
and thoroughly summarizes all the aspects of interest which crop up during project completion,<br />
but in such a way it can be easily understood. Moreover, the 21 works which have been<br />
selected, mostly from Catalonia and the Iberian Peninsula, are presented as examples of a<br />
variety of solutions and high architectural quality.<br />

A complete overview of the design and construction<br />
of UNSTUDIO’s Mercedes-Benz Museum.<br />
More than the document of a remarkable project, this book shows how various forms of expert<br />
knowledge have been combined to generate an unconventional, breakthrough museum<br />
design. Providing insight into the various ideas, experiences and ambitions behind the project,<br />
this book allows visitors to take the museum home. Through photographs, diagrams, text, and<br />
drawings, it explains the unique Mercedes museum design model developed by UNSTUDIO:<br />
the digitally programmed, three-dimensional, cross-connected trefoil. The building radically<br />
breaks with today’s architectural conventions as a highly complex, but still strongly directional<br />
structure with many surprising perceptual experiences.<br />
“One of the year’s most notable<br />
monographs.”<br />

Zaragoza 2008<br />
A tour of the Expo Zaragoza 2008 architectonic projects.<br />
The International Exposition, Expo Zaragoza 2008, is one of the greatest international events<br />
of the year, featuring large scale urban projects. With water as the central theme, the building<br />
designs of acclaimed architects Enrique de Teresa, Nieto y Sobejano, Francisco Mangado, Olano<br />
y Mendo Arquitectos, Álvaro Planchuelo, Torres y Martinez Lapeña, ACXT and Zaha Hadid<br />
host the different events and pavillions. This volume analyses the making of the architectonic<br />
complex and its landscape, critically examining the meaning and importance of Expo Zaragoza<br />
2008 as a 21st century model for an urban development strategy. The architectonic pieces<br />
reflect the cultural and social dynamics transforming architecture today in Spain.

Property developer André Jordan unveils his most successful architectural<br />
and environmental projects.<br />
André Jordan is the man who transformed Portugal’s Algarve into the region as we know it today.<br />
His capacity for creating environments that actually change the way people live is unique.<br />
He has applied his own careful philosophy to all his developments and this book reveals the<br />
very special way he has exercised his civilising influence on the environment. André Jordan<br />
is far more than a property developer and international businessman. With his natural interest<br />
in people and instinct to enhance quaility of living, the development teams brought together<br />
by André Jordan were early to appreciate the need for property development in harmony with<br />
nature. He not only integrates the landscape with its resources, but also creates developments<br />
which are profitable.

An exciting look at the future of German graphic design, presenting the best<br />
work of new and emerging designers.<br />
German graphic design has undergone a dramatic metamorphosis in recent years. Young<br />
professionals and students have been demonstrating heightened technical skills and strong,<br />
individualistic styles. The emerging design generation has broken with cultural and geographical<br />
boundaries, entering the international arena and competing with cutting edge design icons<br />
worldwide. As the scope and depth of this exciting development has been under recognised,<br />
Neuland documents the future of German graphic design by presenting the best work of<br />
up-and-coming designers and design studios. This book compiles over 400 pages of exciting<br />
ideas, never before seen experiments, self initiated projects and commercial work from<br />
Germans working and studying at home and abroad, as well as non-Germans working and<br />
studying in Germany.
“All too often these ‘best of…’<br />
books don’t live up to their name, but<br />

A comprehensive, up-to-date collection of the best new<br />
graphic-design in the United Kingdom.<br />
What design scene is as diverse or cosmopolitan, more rich in influences and references, as<br />
packed with new trends and original ideas, as teeming with talent and ambition than the UK?<br />
To stand out in this overcrowded, competitive arena, British graphic designers have had to<br />
make their work ever more clever and polished, better informed. This fuels the distinctive, refined<br />
styles of such artists as Mark Farrow, Sea, Spin, Browns, Fuel, James Joyce, Zak, Studio<br />
8 and Bibliotek. The UK (especially urban hotbeds like London, Manchester and Sheffield) is<br />
also a greenhouse for new musical styles and youth trends, and a fertile ground for eccentric<br />
visual artists like Non-Format, Ben Drury, The Designers Republic; and of course, also a major<br />
financial nucleus for studios like William Paul, BB Saunders and Saturday marking their styles<br />
and brands across the world.<br />
COVer In<br />
PrOGreSS
With such a wealth of talent and material, the main question in compiling a book on the best<br />
of new British design is not what to put in, but what to leave out. Stylistic novelty and visual<br />
distinctiveness are our key parameters, rather than background or reputation. RGB features<br />
artists from highly diverse backgrounds, at all different stages in their careers, from household<br />
names to the newest young talents.<br />
rGB captures the UK’s explosively vibrant and unpredictable realm of graphic<br />
design, in over 400 pages packed with exciting visual material.<br />

Presenting a selection of projects from the insider perspective of the creators, this anthology<br />
presents dynamic and diverse projects by the Cla-se communication studio, from the beginning<br />
until today. The book reads like an object of graphic communication with the pages of<br />
the Oscar Wilde novel, The Picture Of Dorian Gray, appearing between the history of Cla-se’s<br />
graphic design. Cla-se are known for their original use of typography, elements of surprise, and<br />
a coherent and rigorous treatment of communication needs. Packaging, brand identity, editorial<br />
design, and art direction are Cla-se’s territories for expressing their creative philosophies and<br />
for engaging the realities of effective publicity.

Sketches for the graphics of the american trade centers in europe,1963-1977.<br />
A fine example of graphics from the 60s and 70s.<br />
The book includes a selection of the sketches that Lanfranco Bombelli drafted, first in Paris<br />
and later in Barcelona, for the graphics of the exhibitions in the American Trade Centers in<br />
Milan, Stockholm, Paris and Frankfurt, from 1963 to 1978, until they were closed, as a continuation<br />
of what the Marshall Plan had been. His artistry in geometrical compositions is based on<br />
a minimum of plastic means and inspired by mathematical principles. He depicts in this way<br />
new products of technological innovation in the fields of pharmaceutics, design industry or<br />
printing among others.

ABOUT The AUThOr<br />
Lanfranco Bombelli (Milan,<br />
1921-Cadaqués, 2008) was an<br />
architect, artist and art gallery<br />
owner. After having studied<br />
architecture in Milan and Zurich,<br />
Bombelli was formally trained<br />
as an artist with the pioneers of<br />
concrete art, and with the artists<br />
Bruno Munari, Max Huber and<br />
Max Bill. In 1950 he started<br />
working with Peter Harnden in<br />
Paris as a commercial pavilion<br />
architect for the US Government.<br />
At the beginning of the<br />
60s, they chose Barcelona and<br />
Cadaqués as their headquarters<br />
from where they directed their<br />
architecture office. Thanks<br />
to Bombelli, founder of the<br />
Galeria Cadaqués, international<br />
avantgarde artists such<br />
as Max Bill, Marcel Duchamp,<br />
Jasper Johns, Richard Hamilton,<br />
Joseph Beuys... first came into<br />
Catalonia and Spain. In the<br />
70’s, with his strong international<br />
relations, and his cultural,<br />
cosmopolitan character, he<br />
became an outstanding figure<br />
in the promotion of the new<br />
commercial and institutional<br />
contemporary art circuit.

A selection of the best graphic design emerging in Spain today.<br />
Every system needs an escape valve, a decompression mechanism. In professional graphic design,<br />
this escape device is more than the ‘escape’ (esc) on a keyboard; it is the visual seduction<br />
by new and experimental formulas. This is the defining concept of emergent Spanish design<br />
today. Spain has become an international laboratory where creators from all over the planet<br />
retro-nourish and influence one another. Works by Basedesign, Ipsum Planet, Enric Jardí, Paco<br />
Bascuñán, among many others.
Shortlisted for the 2008<br />
laus Awards.<br />
“Some of the finest graphic design<br />
talent to come out of Spain,<br />
including works by Basedesign<br />
and Ipsum Planet.”<br />

A new and compelling overview of current dutch graphic design.<br />
The anxiously awaited follow-up to Holland Design, Super Holland Design explores new functionality<br />
in contemporary Dutch design. Featured designers transform concepts into strong<br />
messages, using new techniques and technologies. Dutch designers are inspiring exciting<br />
interactions between design and its users, compelling us to re-think the meaning of design<br />
itself. They question every aspect of design, creating new concepts, processes, and formats,<br />
bravely pushing the limits of user participation and the designer’s role.

Typographic recipes that work and common mistakes to avoid.<br />
This is a recipe book of twenty-two tips for creating the best typography and twenty-two lettering<br />
pitfalls you should avoid. A showcase of secrets which many designers will never reveal. In<br />
an era of typographic fundamentalism and the cult of forms, this list of dos and don’ts explodes<br />
myths and provides a fresh new view of typography. Enric Jardi teaches design at Eina, Elisava,<br />
and Ramon Llull. He is President of the ADG-FAD (Catalonia), one of the most important<br />
graphic design institutions internationally.
“If they let you, use left justification;<br />
don’t fool too much with the default<br />
values; condense and expand<br />

An international selection of radical character designs created with pen<br />
and analogue techniques.<br />
Pictoplasma presents the most adventurous images from a global scene of artists, working<br />
mainly with a pen or analogue techniques such as water color, collage or photo montage. The<br />
recent revival of outsider art has brought an immense visual wealth to the world of character<br />
design. Artists release their creativity through spontaneous freehand drawing and create untamed,<br />
edgy and unparalleled beings. Their fast, eruptive and rough drawing techniques can<br />
be seen as a therapy to the sterility of the flood of digital images. Consumer mascots and pop<br />
icon characters are re-traced and translated into an emotional, personal, diary-like language.<br />
Showcasing the key players of “fractured figuration” or “new psychedelic folk,” Pen to Paper<br />
bridges the inevitable gap between the human body and the realm of the image.

The following illustrations are a selection of works I have carried out between 2004 and 20<strong>09</strong><br />
for three different press publications: ABC cultural supplement ABCD, El Correo Cultural<br />
supplement Territorios and finally the no longer existing TV guide magazine, TV Más. Regarding<br />
ABCD, the articles written by J.J. Armas Marcelo every Saturday under the title of “A la<br />
intemperie” (In the open) are mainly of a literary nature. The ones published in Territorios, firstly<br />
written by Javier Armentia and lately by Mauricio José Schwarz, are scientific texts. Whereas<br />
In TV Más magazine, the topics revolved around the Internet and the articles in this case were<br />
written by Antonio Gutiérrez and subsequently by Sergio Muñoz.

The illustrations in Twenty Years of Sorrow lead us through chiaroscuro scenes at the rhythm<br />

into images that could perhaps make you shudder or possibly sad, but that surely<br />

A selection of Gary Baseman’s latest series of paintings, Knowledge Comes With Gas Release.<br />
Baseman removes the narrative and concentrates solely on the iconic nature of his<br />
work. He simplifies the main subject to become more complex with the design form of the<br />
Manifestations of Desire, interacting with the portrait element in the most extreme way possible.<br />
For Baseman, desire not only lives in the atmosphere, but also on the figure itself, wearing<br />
desire like a hat, hair, beard, ears, pimple, flowers, pollen. Open to all and every interpretation.<br />
Melting, dripping, clinging, oozing, dripping.

designers start their careers in Barcelona.<br />
This book portrays the ModaFAD venture, a non-profit association formed by students, protodesigners,<br />
self-taught practitioners, stylists, multidisciplinary designers, sponsors and institutions,<br />
with a common goal: to launch emerging young Barcelona-based design talents into the<br />
fashion world. The book records the 25 editions of ModaFAD, with the inclusion of the most<br />
prominent designers which have emerged from each bi-annual event. Jordi Labanda, Spastor,<br />
Josep Abril, Celia Vela, Isaac Reina are some of the big names that started their careers in<br />
ModaFAD, and contribute to this book with short interviews and insights into their most current<br />
collections. Other contributors to the book include Chicks on Speed, with the tale of a work in<br />
progress workshop they organised at the 2005 ModaFAD event, or Diane Pernet’s interview.

The ultimate guide to a secret Barcelona by literary writer Ignacio Vidal-Folch.<br />
discovered and re-discovered places, illustrated with photographs by Txema Salvans.<br />
Unlike any other city travel guide, Barcelona The Secret Museum, written by Barcelonian novelist<br />
Ignacio Vidal-Folch, proposes a view of the city from the subjective perspective of a writer.<br />
His contemplative, humorous, and beautifully descriptive writing guides the reader through<br />
80 sites –monuments, squares, buildings, as well as shop windows, hidden streets, poor and<br />
desolate neighborhoods, walls of posters and street art– always with fascinating cultural commentary<br />
and universal references to the history of art, cinema and literature. Each spot visited<br />
becomes a Borgesian “Aleph,” a plece of a universal puzzle with poetic as well as tongue-incheek<br />
connections. Street plot converges with literary plot through famous quotes, forgotten<br />
verses, and recalled images of great works of art and cinema, always with a playful sense of<br />
humor. Illustrated with the extraordinary photographs of Txema Salvans, this book is a homage<br />
to the city’s diversely rich and international urban culture, and as well is an open invitation to<br />
play with imagination and memory on the magnificent game-board that is Barcelona.<br />
ABOUT The AUThOr<br />
Ignacio Vidal-Folch (b. Barcelona,<br />
1956) has published many novels<br />
and short stories including<br />
Contramundo, Amigos que no he<br />
vuelto a ver, La libertad, Cabeza<br />
de plástico, which take place in<br />
different european cities. Barcelona<br />
The Secret Museum is the<br />
first book devoted to his native<br />
city. His articles regularly appear<br />
in newspapers and magazines<br />
including Tiempo and El País,<br />
where these writings were originally<br />
published.

Jordi Bernadó’s images take us on a journey that is both audacious<br />
and disturbing in equal measure.<br />
Bernadó creates projects to express his keen eye and spirit. His interest in all the signs characterising<br />
contemporary society and culture in our environment is one of the forces behind<br />
his creations, and colour is an intrinsic part of his study. Despite his having explored American<br />
spaces and cities in Japan and Europe, Bernadó has always maintained his focus on Spain,<br />
attentive to the evolution of its landscape and the décor of its interiors that is linked to very<br />
different worlds. He casts an amusing look at the details that only he is able to see and makes<br />
them distinct. His images turn reality into a theatre set. The boundaries between the real and<br />
the unlikely become blurred. Beyond Bernadó’s vision of the superficial world and his form<br />
of satire, one is given a glimpse of his inspired personality on this guided tour of the 20thcentury<br />
playwrights who have brought the senseless and the ridiculous to the stage, even the<br />
grotesque, as embodied in the writings of Cervantes and the paintings of Goya. And behind<br />
this cumulus of symbols, there is the depiction of absurdity.<br />
An unusual portrait of Spain, one of the<br />
best photographic series of its kind.

Youth subcultures as seen by Miguel Trillo’s lens.<br />
Retrospective catalogue of the photographer Miguel Trillo (b.1953, Jimena de la Frontera,<br />
Cádiz), his work could be categorized as photo-documental, (though his first works had a<br />
clear experimental vocation), the source of the encounter between the artist and his models<br />
is (almost) always accidental and clearly exposes the photographed subjects in their daily and<br />
habitual contexts. Since the beginning of the 80’s Miguel Trillo has depicted anonymous protagonists<br />
from what was know as the “Movida” in Madrid, and has documented the evolution<br />
of urban “tribes” [Mods, Punks, Goths (Death-rockers), Rappers, Head Bangers...] over the last<br />
3 decades all over the world. His photographs depict adolescents and young adults trying to<br />
find their identities through the assumption of determined attire and or behaviour, that also<br />
reflect the contradictions of a society that has experimented a profound transformation in a<br />
very short period of time.

ABOUT The AUThOr<br />
With a degree in Image and<br />
Hispanic linguistics from the<br />
Complutense University of Madrid,<br />
the photographer Miguel Trillo has<br />
been depicting, since the 70’s,<br />
diverse generations of young<br />
adults in their music inspired<br />
environments. Since 1994 he<br />
has been residing in Barcelona,<br />
where he has developed a sort<br />
of modern geographical series,<br />
that analyzes the linguistic and<br />
territorial Spanish frontiers. The<br />
work of Miguel Trillo forms a part<br />
of several outstanding public and<br />
private collections in Spain and<br />
in 20<strong>09</strong> was the subject of a<br />
retrospective in the CAAC<br />
(Centro Andaluz de Arte<br />
Contemporaneo) in Sevilla.

Photography, and the political ideology of designing exhibitions<br />
This book focuses from a chronological perspective on photography as a tool for a new visuality<br />
and the rupture of the role of the spectator: photographic exhibitions from 1928 to<br />
1955, from the spaces designed by Lissitzky’s to The Family of Man; the trajectory of utopian<br />
architectural-photographic space and from post-Revolutionary Russia to America during the<br />
Cold War. This space documents the exhibitions designed by Lissitzky (Pressa, Film und Foto,<br />
etc); German, Italian and Spanish exhibitions in the 1930s, and exhibitions in MOMA during<br />
the Second World War.

The role of women in photography<br />
NEW<br />
C PHOTO 9 proposes a partial but heterogeneous discourse about a collective history, proposing<br />
what could possibly be a new way of thinking about gender. This discourse sets up a<br />
dialogue between divergent historical debates linked to the changes all women have undergone,<br />
whether feminist or no. There is, however, no ‘photography made by women’ that can be<br />
stylistically distinguished from ‘photography made by men’. But even as photography cannot<br />
be defined by gender, women are a timeless and recurring motif and their role and representation<br />
are the subject of much debate. The photographs in C PHOTO 9 appear to overlap in<br />
an exploration of the dividing line between reality and representation as seen from differing<br />
standpoints, not always in agreement and not always combative. Consequently, the work of<br />
nearly thirty artists in this issue, both in front of and behind the camera, and independently of<br />
their varying perceptions and approaches to this medium, help us redefine the representation<br />
of women in the past, present, and future.

From I to J is an international tribute to John Berger by filmmaker Isabel Coixet.<br />
A woman writes letters to a man who is in prison. Coixet has created an installation based on<br />
Berger’s book From A to X, with the collaboration of architect Benedetta Tagliabue and some<br />
of the most acclaimed actresses working in film today. The book is accompanied by a DVD,<br />
which includes a selection of letters from the novel From A to X read by Monica Bellucci, Sophie<br />
Calle, Patricia Clarkson, Penélope Cruz, Julie Delpy, Isabelle Huppert, Henning Mankell,<br />
Maria de Medeiros, Sarah Polley, Tilda Swinton, Leonor Watling and Carme Elias, as well as<br />
the recording of Isabel Coixet’s interview with John Berger.

Artist eugènia Balsells explores color and light as an artistic expression.<br />
FREQUENCIES is the catalogue that accompanies a new exhibition project by the artist<br />
Eugènia Balcells on some perceptive aspects of energy: light and colour.<br />
FREQUENCIES is a book that wants to be faithful to the screens on which the images of the<br />
multimedia installations Colour wheel, Labyrinth, Marble and Frequencies are projected. It is a<br />
book that allows us to slowly study the flow of the colour spectrum that defines the geometry<br />
of everything that exists.<br />
FREQUENCIES is both a visual source of knowledge and a collection of reflections on the<br />
communicative capacity of art and sciences.

A DVD of 3 interviews on captivity with<br />
Antonio Negri, renowned philosopher<br />
and author of The Empire.<br />
This project, Catalonia’s proposal for 53 Venice Art Biennale, offers theoretical and<br />
critical content that gives meaning to contemporary artistic practices in Catalonia.<br />
Based on the book of the same name by Maurice Blanchot, The Unavowable Community is a<br />
proposal that explores the types of social intervention adopted by various artistic practices that<br />
are developed around the idea of the communal. Three different projects have been selected to<br />
form part of this project: Sitesize by Joan Vila-Puig and Elvira Pujol, Technologies To The People<br />
by Daniel G. Andújar, and Arxiu F.X. by Pedro G. Romero. These projects share communal strategies<br />
of transversality and antagonism, in a territory that is difficult to chart, found in the cracks<br />
in both the institution of art and models of cultural productivity. An important link between the<br />
ideas forming La comunitat inconfessable is their questioning of the notion of a single and, even,<br />
recognisable authorship.

The work of 8 acclaimed non-<br />
European artists living and working in<br />
Europe.<br />
Istanbul seen through the artists’ eyes.<br />
Its geographical location, its rampant urban development and its complex socio-political fabric<br />
make Istanbul an ideal backdrop for many artists, not only Turkish and Istanbul artists, but also<br />
artists from the diaspora or artists from abroad who have come to Istanbul as artists in residence.<br />
Through the selected works and the varied backgrounds of the artists, this publication<br />
attempts to show how city-dwellers face their reality and their history, and how, depending on<br />
their cultural, social and political background, they show their resistance to it and participation<br />
in it. In recent years, the number of artistic projects has increased, inviting dialogue and historical<br />
introspection. These artists accompany the movement of contemporary history. The publication<br />
will trace these developments.<br />

This publication reflects on the difference between planned architecture<br />
and its real use afterwards.<br />
A compilation of materials with which seventeen artists reflect on the gap between architecture<br />
as idea, architecture on paper, and its actual use – in other words, the ‘afterwards’<br />
of construction. The project distinguishes four possible typologies of the afterwards: back,<br />
interior, around and demolition. These typologies of the afterwards would in this way come to<br />
compose a kind of heterotopia of architecture. With works by Vangelis Vlahos, Terence Gower,<br />
Pia Rönicke, Xavier Arenós, Gregor Graf, Mounir Fatmi, Xavier Monteys, Heidrun Holzfeind, Tim<br />
Etchells, Laurent Malone/Dennis Adams, Didier Bay, Jordi Colomer, Alexander Apóstol, Chris<br />

The Espacio AV in collaboration with the estate of Francesca Woodman (1958 Denver-1981<br />
New York), presents an exhibition which will be the second opportunity in Spain to see the<br />
work of this artist now recognised as a pioneer in her work dealing with problems of identity,<br />
gender and the female image. With a marked autobiographical character, Woodman’s photographs<br />
show her in melancholy settings, such as, rooms in which the artist portrays solitude,<br />
oblivion and the passing of time.

exhibition catalogue from “her Memory “ by Kiki Smith<br />
in the Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona Spain.<br />
The Joan Miró Foundation presents “Her Memory”, an exhibition by Kiki Smith organised in collaboration<br />
with the Museum Haus Esters in Krefeld and the Kunsthalle Nürnberg, containing<br />
recent work by this US artist. It could in fact be called an exhibition in progress, since it has<br />
been amplified in each venue anterior to the exhibition presented in the Foundation, which is<br />
the last location of this tour. Kiki Smith was born in Nürnberg in 1954 to an artistic family: her<br />
mother an opera singer and her father the Minimalist artist Tony Smith. Her work is characterised<br />
by a constant reflection on human existence and on life and death; and her drawings<br />
of the human body, are both traumatic and poetic. Kiki arrived at international recognition at<br />
the end of the 1980s. In 2006-2007, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and the Whitney<br />
Museum in New York organised a touring retrospective exhibition, “Kiki Smith: A Gathering,<br />
1980-2005”, which signalled the end of a period.

Islamic Mirror (2008) by internationally acclaimed artist Anish Kapoor is the first project in a<br />
new annual series of interventions organised by the Department of Culture and Tourism, of<br />
the Government of the Autonomous Region of Murcia, in the public space and curated by<br />
Rosa Martínez. The Islamic Mirror installation in the Sharq al-Andalus Hall at the Santa Clara<br />
Museum propitiates an extraordinary conjunction of work and context that questions the clichéd<br />
identification of public space with street space. After all, the public space also comprises<br />
places of historic condensation, which, protected and regulated by public institutions, are transformed<br />
into cultural heritage for individual and collective use, reflection and enjoyment.

The pictoric-photographic project realised by richter in Sils Switzerland.<br />
Whenever Gerhard Richter goes to Sils (Switzerland), he always takes photographs, some of<br />
which he paints and adds to his Atlas. Others he considers independent works of art, and has<br />
included them in projects such as the exhibition “Nietzsche Hau in Sils”. In his painted images,<br />
a photographed reality is combined with the effects of painting. In these painted photographs,<br />
the different levels of reality in the photography interact with others from the painting. The<br />
realism (as a photographic representation) and the abstraction (as a painting which is not<br />
figurative), show themselves to be redundant when the inherent categories of the created<br />
image dissolve into one.

An artistic investigation of the contributions that the legacy of modernism<br />
and modernity have made and continue to make in the world of art.<br />
It is evident that modernity is a popular mountain for analyses and reflection of a largely controversial<br />
nature. Numerous theories have also been written about the beginning as well as<br />
the end of modernity. The aim of the Modernologies exhibition is to achieve an account of the<br />
state of artistic research and to discuss selected contributions to the subject matter that appears<br />
central after two to three decades of an ever intensely blazing conflict over the legacy<br />
of modernity and modernism.

JOHN CAGE<br />
AND EXPERIMENTAL<br />
ART<br />
A selection of works from 1930 to 1970. Also a selection of images from archive<br />
and diverse documentacion<br />
John Cage (1912-1992) defined such a radical practice of musical composition that he<br />
changed the course of modern music in the last century and shaped a new conceptual horizon<br />
for post-war art. This book traces a path through the artist’s career, from his initial works in the<br />
1930s, pieces that broadened the parameters of percussion music by incorporating the most<br />
unconventional of instruments, leading to his ‘prepared piano’, moving to his famous theory on<br />
‘silence’ (and the score 4’33”), his pathbreaking deployment of chance and then indeterminacy,<br />
and culminating his innovative multimedia work, which began in the 1960s and continued<br />
through the 1980s. With this book, the MACBA aims to capture the relevance of Cage’s<br />
contribution to present day contemporary art. One of the sections will chart the network of<br />
repercussions as Cage’s radical conceptual transformation of ‘composition’ entered the strategies<br />
of advanced art. A trajectory framed by dialogues with artists - Marcel Duchamp, Robert<br />
Rauschenberg, Robert Morris, Ellsworth Kelly, Fluxus among many others - and reacting to the<br />
same emergent media as Andy Warhol.

exhibition catalogue from the retrospective in MACBA Barcelona, Spain<br />
Not only Mao before the masses, but also dozens of housewives armed with brooms, scores<br />
of Gillette razors and hundreds of Mon Chéri chocolates. In a play on perceptions in which<br />
nothing (or everything) is what it seems, in the midst of a profusion of food tins, cleaning products,<br />
cars, reinforced concrete buildings and motorways populate the works of Thomas Bayrle<br />
(Berlin, 1937). Acclaimed as one of the voices of Pop Art in Germany, the truth is that Bayrle’s<br />
ironic, repetitive, almost grotesque visual displays ultimately subvert the paradigms of the Pop<br />
movement. His works are practically psychedelic maps constructed from mosaics of images<br />
and hallucinatory to a point far beyond pop’s hypnotic and surface effects. This book, based on<br />
the first retrospective devoted to this artist of artists, reproduces a selection of his work.

A selection of some of the most sophisticated work by one of the most crucial<br />
American artists today.<br />
Paul Pfeiffer is among the most recognized and influential American artists today. This is a<br />
select overview of his work over the last decade, including his most recently produced projects,<br />
as well as his fundamental works which explore new technologies through creative media as<br />
diverse as video, installation, sculpture and photography. For his most widely recognized work,<br />
the artist digitally alters old film footage of sports events to erase the main characters of the<br />
scenes, dissecting the role played by the mass media in the contemporary cult of celebrity. The<br />
book also examines his creative process with original essays by Lawrence Chua (writer and<br />
professor at the Architecture Department of Cornell University, New York), Jessica Hagedorn<br />
(writer, Philippines), Niklas Maak (critic and columnist for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)<br />
and Katy Siegel (critic, Artforum), and other writings selected by the artist including works by<br />
Don Delillo, Ellias Canetti, Gary Indiana and Roger Caillois. Born in 1966 in Honolulu, Hawaii<br />
(U.S.A.), Paul Pfeiffer spent most of his childhood in the Philippines, until he settled in New<br />
York in 1990. Pfeiffer was selected for the 49th Venice Biennale and most recently for the<br />
Sydney Biennial, 2008.

Work from the hilton Brothers, the artistic duo formed by<br />
Christopher Makos & Paul Solberg<br />
Catalogue from the exhibition “Mistaken Identity” by The Hilton Brothers artistic duo (Christopher<br />
Makos and Paul Solberg). While travelling a few years ago, they realised that they were<br />
interested in the same themes and, as something of a joke, decided to photograph the same<br />
things. The idea of identity - who took which photo and why was the difference discernible - led<br />
them to begin a series of diptychs in which they would photograph two objects separately but<br />
then put them together in the same print. This marked the beginning of their exploration for<br />
other collaborative projects. The Hilton’s photographs reveal a naïve perspective diffused by<br />
a certain contemporary cynicism. Captured on their travels around the world, their images are<br />
the outcome of subdivisions and reconstructions in which the different locations are merely<br />
panels of aesthetic snippets combined to produce works which form an intrinsic part of their<br />
philosophy of life, taste and American culture.

The work of the famed South African<br />
¨aesthetic terrorist.¨<br />
The book follows the creative process of Metamembrana, the latest project by<br />
Marcel·lí Antúnez, one of the founders of the “Fura dels Baus” and provides an<br />
insight into his previous work.<br />
Metamembrana is an interactive audiovisual installation which consists of a projection and various<br />
interfaces, a landscape full of situations enabling the spectator to choose which route to<br />
follow and construct his/her own story. Drawings, murals, actors, fire dances, aesthetic irreality,<br />
etc. make up the formal narrative of this particular project and the elements around which the<br />
spectator must play with. Technology applied into arts, Antúnez integrates more complex and<br />
sophisticated technological resources in his projects. For further information on Metamembrana<br />

exhibition catalogue from the Venezuelian artist Carlos Cruz-diez,<br />
a classic in the study of color.<br />
Carlos Cruz-Diez (Caracas, 1923) promotes experimentation with color and is one of the most<br />
relevant examples of the Kinetic Art Movement. The catalogue covers Cruz-Diez’s career including<br />
his beginnings as a graphic designer. The 1950s and 1960s are presented through<br />
a carefully selected group of unedited documents including magazines and catalogues that<br />
he illustrated and designed during that time period. This chapter in Cruz Diez’s career directly<br />
correlates with his unique artistic language, which he continues to apply in his works today.<br />
The catalogue illustrates almost thirty works by Carlos Cruz-Diez. Their presentation takes into<br />
account the original series in which they were first exhibited. These series allow insight into the<br />
artist’s personal concept and organization of his body of work. At the same time, these series<br />
reflect his incredible ambition and eagerness to experiment. His invented jargon stands out<br />
in all of these series with titles so typically Cruz-Diez such as “Chromatic induction”, “Physichromie<br />
“Chromosaturation”.

(1899-2008) presented by La Casa Encendida retrieves, compiles and brings to light a fair<br />
number of cinematographic works, most of which have not been previously screened in Spain,<br />
that bear witness to the audiovisual experiences in India over the first century’s history of<br />
the medium. The original and flourishing scene of contemporary Indian art, of its film and<br />
video production in particular, belongs to a rich and consolidated tradition rooted in Indian<br />
modernism. This publication presents a number of essays written from the perspective of<br />
post-colonial cultural criticism, and an anthology of texts by Indian filmmakers concerning the<br />
works projected.

The epistolary exchange between the two geniuses of contemporary art, Joan<br />
Miro, and architecture, Josep lluis Sert.<br />
The correspondence between Joan Miró and Josep Lluís Sert - comprehensively compiled for<br />
the first time in this publication - offers an essential document for understanding the convergence<br />
between these two individuals despite the physical distance that separated them for<br />
most of their lifetimes. The correspondence is supplemented with personal statements from<br />
Miró and Sert in the form of writings, photographs, sketches, architectural plans, and press<br />
clippings. This material has been consulted in the archives of the Josep Lluís Sert Collection<br />
at Harvard University, the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró in Mallorca, the Fundació Joan Miró in<br />
Barcelona, and the Successió Miró in Palma de Mallorca. The letters sent from different places<br />
and relating in one way or another to their lives and their work become the narrative thread<br />
for reconstructing their shared vision, an unfulfilled project that was always in the back of their<br />
minds, which in turn shaped their artistic and architectural production.

Visual art made by some of the most inspiring musicians of the 70s until today.<br />
On the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of the famed Benicassim/Rock Werchter music festival,<br />
along with the new exhibition at the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels, this book explores<br />
the “unknown” visual side of some of the most popular faces of rock and pop bands, giving<br />
an insight into the genesis of their music. Most of the bands have linked contemporary art in<br />
their lyrics and songwriting and have engaged in productive crossovers. The book compiles<br />
the artworks of bands and musicians from the 70s until today, musicians for whom visual art is<br />
yet another string in their creative process. Featuring over 20 artists including: Brian Eno, Yoko<br />
Ono, Laurie Anderson, Patti Smith, The Residents, The Kills, Devendra Banhart, Anthony and<br />
the Johnsons, Chicks on Speed, Miss Kitten, Fischerspooner, Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs),<br />
Pete Doherty, David Byrne….

Monographic edition dedicated to Sònia Gómez, one of Spain’s most innovative<br />
body art and performance artists.<br />
liquidDocs is a multimedia publication: Bookmagazine + DVD. Published four times a year, it<br />
began with the main objective of tracking contemporary creation in the field of body, space,<br />
time and movement; from the artists’ work and processes to the network of centres, institutions<br />
and businesses that foster, produce and distribute them. The first issue of liquidDocs<br />
Bookmagazine is monographic dedicated to the performer Sònia Gómez, her projects and<br />
creative processes. In order to explain Sònia Gómez’s creative, production and working process<br />
we have drawn together diverse materials, aiming to open up a multifaceted perspective towards<br />
the friction ever present in her work; between perfection and imperfection, between the<br />
real and the fictitious, between representation and her experience. Tracing her motivations and<br />
their outcomes we have created and compiled interviews with the performer, scripts and videos<br />
of her pieces, and comments from her collaborators on the artist and her work.

Centre d’Art la Panera,<br />
Jeu de Paume<br />
A collection of works from the barcelona-based artist’s creative and multidisciplinary<br />
world.<br />
Jordi Colomer stages characters in urban spaces, in a way that is at the same time dreamlike<br />
and concrete. The silent cinema, the modernist architecture, and also common representations,<br />
ideological or commonplace, constitute important references in his work. The book approaches<br />
over 15 works, old and recent creations, many video installations, through sequences of images<br />
and texts conceived in a specific way. Featuring discussions and critical texts on Jordi<br />
Colomer, this is fascinating overview of his career and work which reveals his links between<br />
architecture, time, fiction, simulacrum, spectator, object and history. Travelling exhibition: Le<br />
Jeu de Paume (Paris, October 2008-January 20<strong>09</strong>), La Panera (Lleida, Spain, January-April<br />
20<strong>09</strong>) and the Laboratorio Arte Alameda (México, May-July 20<strong>09</strong>).

A magazine analyzing art and architecture<br />
Hostilities or conflict are some of the euphemisms with which the traditional media refer to<br />
constant harassment, whether it be military or judicial, in the Israeli state over the Palestine<br />
population. Territory is the motive for the dispute and the main point which weighs on the<br />
political agenda for the zone. Each centimetre of terrain is fought over. Roulotte proposes in<br />
this edition a collection of works that inspect from different registers the tensions that affect<br />
this battered and fragmented territory, without leaving out proposals necessary for the future.<br />
