| Title: A Matter of Data |
| ISBN10-13: 2491039095 : 9782491039097 |
| As the self-renewing discipline that is architecture, Caryatide editions picks up the torch of the critical magazineâ which was their very first form. They wish to enrich the debate around architecture by bringing a word that confronts to the news. Architecture is at the convergence of questioning, a discipline nourished by cross-disciplinary approaches. As such, as a signature, Caryatide endeavours to keep a critical point of view, enriched by a social and political look which the architectural discipline depends on, to highlight its complexity and aspirations. For each issue, two contributors are invited to share their thoughts on a new theme. Second issue of the critical magazine Dixit in which the words of the architect Yony Santos from the swiss architecture practice TYPICALOFFICE and of Marina Otero Verzier, director of research at Het Nieuwe Instituut (HNI), confront each other around the theme of â A Matter of Dataâ . Architecture is still a matter of space, but the understanding of this element is currently evolving by the emergence of new forms of electronic and computer-mediated realities. A Matter of Data explores this phenomenon observing the environments and installations that question our experience of space and analyzing the duality and relationships between physical and numerical interfaces of all kinds. |

| Title: Album Architectures, Abidjan |
| By (author): Baptiste Manet |
| ISBN10-13: 2493283112 : 9782493283115 |
| This is not an architecture book but a photography book on an architecture that expresses itself through diversity. It is a book that intends to offer a photogra- phic view of buildings in Abidjan that bear the imprint of a certain "tropical modernism". More precisely, Album Architectures, Abidjan is the testimony of an encounter between two individuals who live and share an aesthetic and emotional attach- ment to the lagoon city. Issa Diabaté, architect, contemporary actor of the architectural future of this city that never stops reinventing itself. François-Xavier Gbré, a photographer who has made architecture his preferred medium for apprehending the muted history of places by envisaging architectures as the sedimen- tary traces of the social and political changes of a country, the Ivory Coast. This book, and the Album Architectures collection more broadly, aims to initiate a reflection on the defini- tion of the notion of contemporary heritage through the valorisation of rich and singular architectural lands- capes, not always identified, often invisibilised, of cities in perpetual urban change. |

| Title: Eloquent Silences |
| By (author): Carlos ArÃs |
| ISBN10-13: 2491039028 : 9782491039028 |
| Jorge Luis Borges, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Yasushiro Ozu, Mark Rothko, Jorge Oteiza â a writer, an architect, a filmmaker, a painter, a sculptor. Five personalities of the twentieth century separated by their mediums, their subjects of investigation and their disciplines. They are brought together in this book by the need to save art from its current alteration, and to bring it back to a more contemplative and introspective dimension. It is a form of spiritual revolt that Carlos Martà ArÃs highlights through this transversal analysis of different artistic expressions that mix and meet to enrich his reflection. The keywords of this consideration, which has the appearance of a manifesto, are: silence, contemplation, renunciation, transparency, anonymity and atemporality. Twenty years later, the lesson of Carlos Martà ArÃs is contemporary and of fundamental importance for our discipline today. |

| Title: Into the Mines of Iglesias |
| By (author): Giorgio Peghin |
| ISBN10-13: 2493283120 : 9782493283122 |
| Voyages en Sardaigne is a collection of unconventional thematic guides on this island in the middle of the Mediterranean. They offer to the reader different ways of observation and restitution of its territory, always characterized by an uncertain temporality:the present and the past merge to build a unique landscape, far from the convulsive setting of the contemporaneity. The Sardinian context becomes a paradigm to go beyond the debate between the two opposite poles: novelty and tradition. To weave this portrait, photographs and texts take part in the production of an anthology capable of offering a multiplicity of possible represen- tations. Words and images form a linguistic whole in which the word and the gaze reveal the possible rela- tionships and directions to discover these places. Nelle miniere di Iglesias / Into the Mines of Iglesias is the first part of this exploration that focuses on soil, excavations, incisions, mutations, transpositions and silence of Sulcis-Iglesiente, a territory marked by an industrial history. A wandering through time and space of a region "built", transformed, crossed by different types of works, infrastructures, relationships between things. These signs, these scars, are today the distinc- tive features of an extraordinary mining landscape. A space to discover through visual and textual narration. |

| Title: Renewing the City from Within |
| By (author): David Fagart |
| ISBN10-13: 249328318X : 9782493283184 |
| What role can interiors play in adapting to the rapidly changing lifestyles of our citiesâ inhabitants? Resulting from a study project carried out at the Geneva University of Art and Design (HEAD â Genève), "Renewing the city from the Within" formulates alternatives to the urban development model centred on building expansion, by proposing scenarios for the renewal, from the inside out, of existing collective housing buildings in Geneva. By analysing a sample of collective housing buildings from the three main periods of the cityâ s development, the publication develops scenarios aimed at adapting these typologies to a convivial and mixed lifestyle, based on principles of solidarity, hospitality and sharing. At a time when the nuclear family is no longer the only model and when the boundaries between living and working areas have become porous, the architects of Fagart & Fontana wish to contribute to the reflection on the cityâ s capacity to renew itself, by making people aware that there is a project territory to invest to rethink contemporary housing. |

| The completion of the crematorium in Ostend, a collaboration between artist Richard Venlet and OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen, gave them the opportunity to look back upon more than fifteen years of working together. This joint effort is based on a shared interest in abstract figures and how they populate and create spaces. |
