Sparano + Mooney Architecture
Das amerikanische Architekturbüro Sparano + Mooney Architecture aus Salt Lake City, Utah, und Los Angeles, Kalifornien, steht für nachhaltige und innovative Bauten, die sich harmonisch in spektakuläre Berglandschaften einbetten. Der Architekturkritiker Michael Webb stellt in diesem Band zehn Projekte anhand von Fotografien, Zeichnungen, Skizzen und Texten vor und macht so den Entstehungsprozess architektonischer Ideen sichtbar. Auf die überwältigende Natur reagieren die Architekt*innen in ihren Entwürfen mit zurückhaltenden Formen und der innovativen Detaillierung von Materialien. Die Modelle, Skizzen, konzeptionellen Konstruktionen und vollständig ausgeführten Bauwerke des Büros bieten eine durchdachte Perspektive auf den Prozess der Entwicklung einer Architektur, die von der Beziehung zwischen Konzept und Ort lebt. Begleitende Essays stellen die Bauwerke in Beziehung zu ihren regionalen Kontexten und zeigen darüber hinaus Analogien zur Land Art auf.
Amy Pleasant
"Amy Pleasant's first monograph includes more than 200 pages of the artist's paintings, drawings, and ceramic works. The numerous work reproductions in the book showcase Pleasant's iterative but deeply human process, where she subtly explores the fragmented human form, most often rendered in monochrome. Contributed essays from Katie Geha and Daniel Fuller speak on her work's relation to gesture and language, the graphic underpinnings of Civil Rights movements in the South, and the empathetic possibility of recognizing faces in inanimate objects, a phenomenon known as pareidolia"--publisher's website.

Sondra Perry
Was macht aus einem beliebigen Raum einen Platz? Was schreibt ihm Geschichte ein oder verleiht ihm Bedeutung? Diese Fragen beschäftigen die Installationskünstlerin Sondra Perry in ihrer aktuellen Arbeit A Terrible Thing für das Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland. An der Euclid Street, im Herzen Clevelands gelegen, betreibt Perry mit den Mitteln von Video, online gefundenen Bildern und digitalen Repräsentationsmöglichkeiten eine archäologische Studie, die der Geschichte dieser Straße nachspürt. Die Infrastruktur und ihr Wandel, die architektonische Konstruktion und ihre alltägliche Nutzung, der fertige Komplex und die Arbeit zu seiner Errichtung werden aufeinander bezogen, um Fragen der Identität – einer Stadt, einer Gesellschaft und der Individuen – zu verhandeln. Diese Arbeit wurde zu einem Prisma aus Zeiten und Perspektiven, die nun auch im Buch nachvollzogen werden können.
Sims Index to Land Grants in West Virginia
"The land grants listed herein were made by Lord Fairfax prior to the creation of the Virginia Land Office; by the Commonwealth of Virginia, of lands now embracing the State of West Virginia; and, by the State of West Virginia, under its first Constitution."--Page [1].
Abstract of Land Grant Surveys, 1761-1791
This is a little-known but important work on the land grant surveys made between the years 1761 and 1791 in Augusta and Rockingham counties. The importance of the work arises from the fact that the original records of deeds were damaged in a fire in 1864; consequently the land grant surveys take on proportionately greater value as primary source records. There are recorded in these abstracts the name of the person for whom the survey was made, the location of the land, the name of the owner or owners of the adjoining land, the number of acres in the survey, and the date. More than 2,000 names are cited in the text, with approximately 4,000 cited in multiple references in the index. As a sourcebook, this is an ideal companion volume to John Wayland's celebrated "Virginia Valley Records," and it can be used in conjunction with standard Virginia Valley histories by Wayland, Waddell, Peyton, and Kercheval.

The Common Camp
Seeing the camp as a persistent political instrument in Israel–Palestine and beyond The Common Camp underscores the role of the camp as a spatial instrument employed for reshaping, controlling, and struggling over specific territories and populations. Focusing on the geopolitical complexity of Israel–Palestine and the dramatic changes it has experienced during the past century, this book explores the region’s extensive networks of camps and their existence as both a tool of colonial power and a makeshift space of resistance. Examining various forms of camps devised by and for Zionist settlers, Palestinian refugees, asylum seekers, and other groups, Irit Katz demonstrates how the camp s...
