LAVA Laboratory for Visionary Architecture
Monograph questioning What if research, science and architecture were merged? LAVA is an architecture studio founded by Tobias Wallisser, Chris Bosse, and Alexander Rieck with offices in Germany, Vietnam, and Australia. The German Pavilion for Expo 20 is an example of the eloquence with which LAVA responds to issues of the day. The three core themes of the book – Cities of the Future, Biodiversity, as well as Energy and Sustainability – are complemented by the subjects “Connecting Minds,” meaning social and political architecture, “Digital Processes and Technologies,” and “New Work” and explored together throughout the six chapters of this book. In addition to projects and their derivation, architectural and sociological thinkers elaborate on their ideas on these topics – creatively, speculatively, and thoughtfully. Themes: City – Energy – Biodiversity – Connecting – Work – Digital Processes Selected projects as case studies With contributions by Amy Frearson, Georg Vrachliotis, Giovanna Carnevali, Maria Aiolova, Gilles Retsin, André Wilkens, Marjan Colletti, and Raoul Bunschoten

Provenance
A lost da Vinci painting draws a historian into the “dark underbelly of the art business . . . one heck of a story” (Tim Sandlin, author of The GroVont Trilogy). What happens when a Leonardo da Vinci masterwork, vanished for centuries, mysteriously appears in a New York City gallery and becomes the center of controversy among New York’s elite? Sam Driscoll, art expert, buyer, and advisor to the massively wealthy and powerful, is going to find out. Now he’s navigating a world where huge egos clash, where everyone is looking for the next big deal, and where greed, deceit, and crime are all part of the business. His labyrinthine journey takes Sam behind the scenes of the most exclusive auction houses and elegant parties of Manhattan to the Italian countryside, doggedly pursuing the answers to increasing dangerous questions: who are the original owners? Why has it suddenly surfaced? It is even an authentic da Vinci? And how far will collectors go to find out?
