In late-sixteenth-century London, the commercial theaters undertook a novel experiment, fueling a fashion for plays that trafficked in the contemporary urban scene. But beyond the stage’s representing the everyday activities of the expanding metropolis, its unprecedented urban turn introduced a new dimension into theatrical experience, opening up a reflexive space within which an increasingly diverse population might begin to “practice” the city. In this, the London stage began to operate as a medium as well as a model for urban understanding. Practicing the City traces a range of local engagements, onstage and off, in which the city’s population came to practice new forms of urban sociability and belonging. With this practice, Levine suggests, city residents became more self-conscious about their place within the expanding metropolis and, in the process, began to experiment in new forms of collective association. Reading an array of materials, from Shakespeare and Middleton to plague bills and French-language manuals, Levine explores urban practices that push against the exclusions of civic tradition and look instead to the more fluid relations playing out in the disruptive encounters of urban plurality.

"Eileen Gray (1878-1976) was a versatile designer and architect who navigated numerous literary and artistic circles over the course of her life. This handsome volume chronicles Gray's career as a designer, architect, painter, and photographer. The book's essays, featuring copious new research, offer in-depth analysis of more than 50 individual designs and architectural projects, accompanied by both period and new photographs. Born in Ireland and educated in London, Gray proceeded to Paris where she opened a textile studio, studied the Japanese craft of lacquer that would become a primary technique in her design work, and owned and directed the influential gallery and store known as "Jean Désert." Gray struggled for acceptance as a largely self-taught woman in male-dominated professions. Although she is now best known for her furniture, lighting, and carpets, she dedicated herself to many architectural and interior projects that were both personal and socially driven, including the Villa E 1027, the iconic modern house designed with Jean Badovici, as well as economical and demountable projects, such as the Camping Tent"--Provided by publisher.

Etude récemment révisée et élargie de la société de design finlandaise de renommée mondiale ArtekBest, connue pour la production des célèbres meubles en bois courbé d'Aalto. Artek était une société de design aux multiples facettes qui a créé de nombreux produits innovants. Ce livre abondamment illustré est basé sur une gamme extraordinaire de documents d'archives récemment découverts qui jettent un nouvel éclairage sur l'histoire d'Artek. Il examine les relations de travail étroites entre Alvar Aalto et Aino Marsio-Aalto, et les rôles essentiels qu'ils ont joués dans sa création et son développement à l'échelle internationale. Réédité en couverture rigide et avec une taille de coupe agrandie, une plus grande importance est accordée aux plus de 500 dessins et photographies, y compris une sélection inédite. L'ajout d'une chronologie qui retrace l'histoire parallèle d'Artek et du bureau Aalto offre une compréhension inédite des nombreux projets qu'ils ont créés ensemble. Le texte original a reçu le prix Philip Johnson 2018 du catalogue d'exposition exceptionnel de la Society of Architectural Historians.
