<p>A house with a swimming pool and three protagonists: an older woman, a teenager and a gardener. The women never meet; the gardener sees everything. The narrative seems to be about the relationship between a mother and daughter--and its rhythm corresponds to the playing of a piano, to a swimmer gliding through the pool and to water splashing in the shower. However, there is more to <i>House with Pool</i> than the fictional tale told by the film; it is also the history of a modernist home in 1950s Texas, where the artists--Teresa Hubbard and Alexander Birchler--lived and worked for a few months, taking their cues from their immediate environment. This publication is devoted to the film, represented here through color stills, photographs, sketches, and plans that visualize its aesthetically seductive, affirmative, yet ambiguous story.</p>

Märkli's ‘Visitor Centre', unmistakeable thanks to Jenny Holzer's large contribution, is the second building to be finished in the Campus. The project embraces contemporary forms while exposing the inherent qualities of materials, such as yew and olive wood, aluminium and marble which have been utilized. Here a thorough survey of the building is provided through sketches, plans, photographs and text.

Opened in autumn 2006, the Fabrikstrasse 4 project is the third building completed as part of the Novartis Campus in Basel. The design by Sejima + Nishizawa is essentially a rack, without a façade, with no hierarchy in its structure and built with two materials – concrete and glass. This survey features photographs by Walter Niedermayr, essays by Aaron Betsky and Valerio Olgiati and includes a comprehensive set of plans and elevations.

Collected in this sizeable boxed set is a prime selection of artworks from Africa and Oceania that are juxtaposed against masterpieces of Modern Art in order to not only examine their specific qualities alone, but also acknowledge the significant contribution that non-European works have made to the world history of art. This richly illustrated publication was released to accompany an exhibition with the same name at the Fondation Beyeler and consists of seventeen large-sized, folded sheets along with an accompanying explanatory brochure. Contributions from a number of renowned scholars from art history and anthropology explore specific contrasts and associations between the two traditions, along with the theoretical implications.
