Eons ago, the theory goes, back when human beings first began planning structures, the buildings they designed were of two types. There were houses, to satisfy everyday needs, and there were temples, to satisfy the need for something beyond the everyday. In both cases, the function of architecture was to nurture culture by uniting souls, joining families and congregations into societies and states. Nicolas Schuybroek's designs treat the familiar-homes, offices, hotels, and objects alike-with a reverence that he describes as almost mystical. This illustrated book provides for the first time a wide-ranging look at the multifaceted work of this exceptional architect.NICOLAS SCHUYBROEK (*1981) pursues a comprehensive approach with his architectural practice, in which architecture, interiors and furnishings are conceived as a whole. His special eye for detail creates iconically crafted and at the same time extremely concentrated spaces that are in demand worldwide.

The American architectural firm of Sparano + Mooney in Salt Lake City, Utah and Los Angeles, CA, stands for sustainable and innovative buildings that are harmoniously embedded in spectacular mountain landscapes. In this volume, architectural critic Michael Webb presents ten projects with the aid of photographs, drawings, sketches and texts, visualizing the process by which architectural ideas are conceived and realized. The architects respond in their plans to the overwhelming natural surroundings with restrained forms and the innovative detailing of materials. The firm's models, sketches, conceptual drafts and fully executed buildings offer a thoughtful perspective on developing architecture that thrives on the relationship between concept and place. Accompanying essays relate the buildings to their regional contexts and also highlight analogies to Land Art.MICHAEL WEBB is a Los Angeles-based British author who has written more than twenty books on architecture and design. He was named an honorary member of the American Institute of Architects and made a Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for his services to French culture.

No question that the Bauhaus was the most influential institution on architecture in the twentieth century. But does this aesthetic legacy live on in buildings? In what shape do we encounter it today, after about 100 years, in changing cityscapes? The photographer Jean Molitor has examined this question in depth all around the world. In his new illustrated volume bau2haus, he tracks the architecture that owes something to the Bauhaus and its special style across the globe. In strongly contrasted black-and-white photographs he draws attention to these fascinating structures. Selected with a meticulous eye, the photos play with perspective, perfectly balancing the openness and existing volume of each building. The result is a vivid history of architecture that readers will hardly be able to get enough of. Previously published by Hatje Cantz:bau1haus - die moderne in der welt (2018)JEAN MOLITOR (*1960) studied fine arts photography at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig. He is known around the globe as a documentary filmmaker as well as a specialist in street and architectural photography. His works have been seen in many exhibitions worldwide. He is based in Berlin.

Margrit Linck is one of the twentieth century's most prominent ceramics artists. Over the course of her five-decade-long career, the ceramicist developed utilitarian pottery as well as a unique artistic oeuvre that deserves to be rediscovered. This book therefore focuses on her sculptures, which break up the simplicity and formal language of utilitarian ceramics and expand them into the playful and surreal: jugs grow birds beaks, vases take on feminine forms. On the one hand, we encounter the artist and ceramicist Margrit Linck through a personal perspective, and on the other, her work is presented within the context of twentieth-century art movements, especially Surrealism. The attractive illustrated section allows readers to delve deeper into the work and makes its clear how current and refreshing Linck's work remains to this day. MARGRIT LINCK (1897-1983) grew up in Wichtrach, near Bern. In the 1930s she and her husband, the sculptor Walter Linck, often sojourned in Paris, where they encountered avant-garde art. Back in Switzerland in the 1940s, she was the first woman to open up her own ceramics studio. Up until her death she continued to produce an impressive series of ceramic sculptures, which were shown both in Switzerland and abroad.

In his new book of photographs Gianluca Galtrucco abducts our sensibilities, casting us into a cosmos that ends science. We encounter UFOs, some of them strangely antiquated, others futuristic. We come across an astronaut eating in a diner or machines and vehicles that fill what could be interplanetary colonies. Time Traveler is full of unlikely scenes that collapse time and space. Some of these scenes Galtrucco has staged, others he has found in reality, but all hover in a gray area of fantasy and disbelief. What is actual, what is virtual, what is science fact, what is science fiction? Galtrucco's cinematic approach to photography, with a sly, enchanted whimsy, is apparent on every page.The works of the Los Angeles-based photographer and filmmaker GIANLUCA GALTRUCCO (*1971) have appeared in such publications as Rolling Stone, Wired, and Art in America. In 2017 Hatje Cantz published Galtrucco's first major book, For Your Consideration, which won a Silver in the German Photo Book Prize.

Buenos Aires, Casablanca, Beijing, Khartoum, Lahore, Tokyo: all over the world, artists joined forces in collectives throughout the twentieth century. While the tendency to form groups was (and still is) universal, the concerns of their members, their aesthetic methodologies, political goals, and utopian aspirations differed fundamentally depending on time and place. The period from about 1900 to 1980 covered here coincides with the beginning of diverse international modernization movements and finally includes decolonization processes and the founding of new nations. These events were often accompanied by the establishment of art schools and collectives as well as the publication of programmatic texts and journals. The project is funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation in conjunction with its Museum Global initiative. The catalogue accompanying the first part of the exhibition, Group Dynamics - The Blue Rider, also published by Hatje Cantz Verlag, is already available. It offers a comprehensive survey of works and new insights into the circle of artists who made up Der Blaue Reiter.

The "decisive moment" is what counts, said the legendary photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. For more than half-a-century, the theater photographer Ruth Walz schooled her eye to capture fleeting moments on stage so that they still grip us today. In doing so, she gives us exciting after-images of irretrievably lost theatrical productions. She provided audiences of the time with matchless memories and new insights; anyone looking at her pictures today undergoes a journey into the fascinating world of the theater. After working for around fifteen years as a photographer for the Schaubühne in Berlin, she spent the ensuing years accompanying directors, set designers, and actors on their paths through European theater and opera. Her precise gaze and her curiosity about the art of the stage remain undiminished to this day. This illustrated volume with texts by Gerhard Stadelmaier, Niklas Maak, and other authors, as well as interviews with Robert Wilson and Peter Sellars, is a companion to the extensive exhibition of her photographs at the Museum für Fotografie in Berlin.RUTH WALZ (*1941); 1976-1990 photographer for the Schaubühne Berlin; since 1991 photographer for the Salzburg Festival; freelance theater photographer until today; has collaborated with Luc Bondy, Klaus Michael Grüber, Pierre Audi, Peter Sellars, Peter Stein, Robert Wilson, and others.
