'Taking Off' is a real picture story of a failed marriage, of sexual frustration and voyeurism. An extraordinary amount of photographs and cut-up collages comprise an archival vertigo of amateur nude art. Through people she met on a journey through the United States, Mariken Wessels gained access to the studio and the entire archive of Henry, as well as full consent over its use. She started redacting the work and rearranging it, so to form an artist's book, in which the audience will be invited to a journey into Henrys vision of his wife and muse, and to discover the photographic obsessions of Henry, which through encountering them in the book could become our obsessions too.

Brussels-based 51N4E deals with matters of architectural design, concept development, and strategic spatial transformations. Headed by Johan Anrys and Freek Persyn, the office was founded in 1998 and aspires to contribute to social and urban transformation. This book  part photo-novel, part real-life journey  tells the story of 51N4E in multiple ways. Combining short stories by Falma Fshazi with photographs by Stefano Graziani, it is a narrative of discovery and embracing otherness, as well as a retrospective look at projects since 2004. It describes the encounters and processes by which the architects learned to operate in a culture and context very different from their own.

<p>In fields that produce carefully authored compositions, such as architecture, the chance arrangements of material grain, patinas, or other traces of matters resistance to orderly control are sometimes allowed an expression in the final work. In these instances they are viewed as desirable features, or evidence of a works architectonic authenticity. Moreover, the effects of weathering, natural forces, or structural deformation over time are often seen as informal enhancements to the rigidity of precise compositions. The outcome of a visual studies seminar by architect Andrew Zago, this volume gathers photographic evidence of myriad instances of material happenstance, also called accidents.</p>
