Climate change, and the inevitability of sea level rise, will require much more of us than simply pulling back from the coastline. The thesis of Weston Wrights More Water Less Land New Architecture is that we need to start thinking in an entirely different way about the relationship of cities to waterfront sites and of the relationship of buildings to water, which means rethinking many of architectures implicit premises. If architecture has been confrontational with waterthink bold towers erected beside the sea, as if to dare the water to challenge themWrights argument is that we will need to be modest, accommodating, and accepting of the power and presence of water if our cities are to survive. He knows that nature is stronger than we are, and that best chance mankind has to build successfully will be to build with, not against, the reality of water. This is an important book, not least because its quiet, sober tone balances natural history with architectural history, and reaches across the world to show examples of architecture that accommodates to the water ranging from small vernacular houses on stilts to huge megastructures anchored like islands in the sea. Although Wrights argument transcends aesthetics or style, his book is, in the end, a case for the strength that comes from restraint, and perhaps even for the lasting power of gentlenes

Meet the Newells, a big family of good lookers and hard grafters. From their sleepy working class backwater, the siblings break into Oxford academia, Londons high life, the glossy world of magazine publishing and the stratospheric riches of New Yorks hedge funds. Then theres Paddy, the wrongun in their midst, who prefers lifes underbelly. As things fall apart around his sister Bea, is Paddy behind it all? And why does matriarch Edie turn a blind eye to her sons malevolence? Will she stand by and watch while he wrecks the lives of her other children? Just how much is she willing to sacrifice to protect her son? The book opens with Edie, now in her seventies, who looks back on her early married life with her husband, George, and their ever-growing brood. She loved having babies, but resented their growth and increasing independence. She recalls the horror and confusion surrounding the death of her toddler son, Timmy. Even though it happened forty years ago, she still blames her brother, his uncle, for falling asleep while he was supposed to be looking after the children. Now, her favourite son, Paddy, has just been released from prison for dangerous driving. She is good at making excuses for him. All her other children are successful, and have done extremely well in their chosen careers, but it becomes apparent that she begrudges her only daughters success. Why does she resent her daughter so much? Paddy is malevolent, violent, bullying, cruel... Edie has never forgiven herself for giving him up to the care system before she married George. He has never fitted in with his siblings, and is the bad apple that can ruin the whole batch. The only person he has ever cared about is his stepfather, George, who saw only too clearly what Edie has always been blind to. Bea, the only daughter in the family, has grown up knowing her mother doesnt love her. She is a successful journalist, and adores her husband, David, and her stepchildren, but longs for a baby of her own. Then suddenly David dies. In the midst of her grief, her glamorous cleaning lady, Lorena, flaunts her pregnancy. She insists that the baby is Davids, and is willing to take a DNA test to prove it. Welcome to the world of the Newells, where nothing is as it seems.

David Fincher, Gus Van Sant, Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, Paul Thomas Anderson: conosciamo numerosi registi che sono passati dalla TV al Cinema, spesso attraverso i videoclip musicali. Ma del montaggio cosa sappiamo? Inquadrature brevi, musiche aggressive, strutture non lineari: quanto e come il rapporto con gli altri media ha influenzato la grammatica, lestetica e i ritmi del montaggio cinematografico negli ultimi 40 anni? Il dialogo che larte cinematica principale ha avuto con tutto quello che di nuovo le si muoveva intorno - come i video musicali degli anni 90 - ha prodotto fusioni e ibridi difficilmente preventivabili e catalogabili. Il cinema ha dato e preso, attraverso il montaggio. Tenendo sempre presente la questione del tempo che nel cinema si puo arrivare a scolpire come ha scritto Andrej Tarkovskij oggi il montatore non deve pensare piu solo in direzione orizzontale a cosa viene dopo? ma deve domandarsi cosa posso montare nel fotogramma? Al suo discorso si aggiunge un pensiero verticale. Senza mai perdere di vista la storia, lemozione e il tempo, come ci aveva anticipato Walter Murch, montatore e collaboratore di F. F. Coppola e George Lucas. Dalla TV commerciale anni 80 ai social contemporanei, questo libro ci accompagna in un viaggio fatto di corrispondenze e opposizioni evidenziate dallanalisi di tagli, scene, sequenze e strutture filmiche, anche attraverso il racconto dei montatori protagonisti, spesso considerati soltanto tecnici e non artisti. Senza tesi da dimostrare o confutare, il testo offre una ricognizione cronologica allinterno della tecnica e del linguaggio per riconoscere le voci di serie TV, videoclip e film che ci parlano di una professione che, di fatto, e lultima scrittura di una storia.Andrea Ciacci ha ideato e montato trailer per Filmauro, 01 Distribution, Medusa e Lucky Red. Dal 2005 si dedica al documentario per le sale cinematografiche per societa indipendenti o in collaborazione con Rai Cinema, lavorando su film premiati nei festival internazionali come Locarno, Los Angeles e Roma. Oltre ai documentari, ha montato inchieste giornalistiche, concerti, cortometraggi, programmi per bambini, video installazioni, promo, web series, videoclip. Insegna montaggio cinematografico presso ACT - Accademia Cinema Toscana dal 2018 e tiene corsi e workshop su teorie e pratiche del montaggio.

This book is an attempt to define some mechanisms of architectural design practice, make them communicable and replicable in the form of a handbook-of-sorts. Within a game of strategy, twelve groups of architects work on adjacent and sometimes overlapping areas in an eastern district of the city of Detroit.The book employs the game and its results to elaborate on some questions: how does architectural design work as day-to-day practice? What are its effects, and how can they be measured? How is practice innovated, i.e. how do architects learn from, or capitalize on, previous effective action?"The Detroit Great Game presents a captivating and timely pedagogical experiment and offers a much-needed rethinking of the playful dimension of architectural education. Federighi and Bruno offer a fresh pragmatist perspective to the reality of project making tracing the contingencies, negotiations, documentary exchange, promises and contextual complexities of architecture in the making. Vividly written and filled with insightful examples and innovative graphics, it is a must-read for every student, academic and practitioner in Architecture." Albena Yaneva, University of Manchester"The Detroit Great Game demonstrates that no architectural project is autonomous from the world and that all projects catapult their players into an unpredictable future. It follows that all projects are susceptible to the vicissitudes of contingent encounters and unexpected roadblocks. Such is the great game of designing worlds on fields of immanence where documents and contracts hold equal weight to material objects. Groping experimentation and experience come first, know-how and knowledge afterwards. Enjoy this great game! Play it seriously!"Helene Frichot, University of Melbourne
