The second volume of Zupagrafika's widely acclaimed Eastern Blocks continues the photographic survey of concrete suburbs across the former Eastern Bloc. Stretching from Ukraine to Georgia and sweeping through the Baltic Sea to the Balkans, the book captures the socialist-era architecture that reshaped the urban landscapes of Central and Eastern Europe after World War II: from modernist grand designs and brutalist monoliths to the often-overlooked prefabricated panel housing estates and their distinctive typologies.

Highly informalized cities of the global South are often portrayed as chaotic and out of control - this book reveals a spatial logic of informal urbanism that is central to the economic life and livelihoods of such cities. 'Inventraset' is a concept that shows how informal street vending, transport and settlement are fundamentally integrated with each other and the more formal city. Street vending and transport provide crucial forms of employment and mobility, while informal settlement is the key source of affordable and adaptable housing. Informal urbanism is not ideal but it is the way such cities work; it is often hidden or camouflaged within the ideal of a clean, green and modern city to which middle-classes and elites aspire. Through comparative studies, with a focus on Manila and Jakarta, the book maps and analyzes how such cities work through alliances and synergies between vending, transport and settlement - inventraset assemblages are inventive and transgressive, yet settled.Kim Dovey is Professor of Architecture and Urban Design at the University of Melbourne, where he also Co-Directs the Informal Urbanism Research Hub (InfUr-). Kim is a widely recognized scholar in urban studies, urban design and architecture; authored books include Framing Places (2008), Becoming Places (2010), Urban Design Thinking (2016) and Atlas of Informal Settlement (2023).Redento B.

This book offers a discussion of the screens, installations, and media architecture that populate contemporary urban public spaces. It proposes a methodological approach and conceptual toolset for the critical examination, not only of what these screens do, but also of what we can do with them. The book contains a collection of theoretical concepts, developed through an in-depth examination of the material, relational, and performative aspects of a range of urban screens and screen practices. Its situational and practice-oriented approach focuses on the space between their material surfaces, the spectatorial situations they create, and how such screens situate us in relation to the surrounding social and cultural environment of the city. Offering concepts for a critical understanding of the wide variety of contemporary urban screen practices, the book's methodological proposal integrates close situational analyses and a historical-comparative approach for individual screens and screening situations in their role as part of a wider global contemporary screen culture.

Monuments of Diverse Heritage in Early America: Placemaking and Preservation by Black, Indigenous, and Jewish Peoples explores a more inclusive history of the preservation of public historic sites. At a time when some Americans have embraced white nationalism in response to unfolding demographic changes and others celebrate individual identities over all else, an inclusive, tolerant, and unifying historical vision is sorely needed. While past preservation efforts often sought to provide exclusionary forms of historical inspiration, that need not be the case going forward. Bringing greater attention to the diverse heritage of the United States will not only help dismantle the lingering remnants of exclusionary and elitist narratives but also celebrate a pluralistic and diverse past and present. An inclusive, empowering history can provide social cohesion while also allowing room for individual groups to have authority over their pasts and their representation in public, side-by-side with one another.

Daniel Crews-Chubb (b.1984) is a London-based painter whose mixed-media works wrestle with the human condition and modes of self-expression. This monograph, Out of Chaos, is published to coincide with his solo exhibition at Timothy Taylor, New York, which brings together new paintings and works on paper. Crews-Chubb's paintings exist somewhere between figuration and abstraction. They draw on a wide variety of references, including ancient cosmologies, historic artefacts, and sculpture, pre-Columbian deities, Cubism, Abstract Expressionism, and Hellenic myth. He intertwines canonical sources and classical allusions in his paintings, creating a highly personal, idiosyncratic lexicon of human, celestial, and bestial figures.Out of Chaos takes its title from the ancient Greek notion that chaos is a state of undifferentiated matter from which the universe emerged. The paintings that form this series feature urgent, gestural marks and passages of vivid color, centred around the figure as a motif. The bodies that he depicts are ageless, non-gendered, and non-racial-- conduits for feeling, rather than signifiers of individuals. This publication reproduces a selection of Crews-Chubb's paintings from 2015 to 2024, starting with his early works and subsequently organised into seven series. Notable among these are the recent Immortals (2022-) and Out of Chaos, which is the focal point of his solo exhibition. The book also features an introduction by the writer Jennifer Higgie, an essay by art historian Matthew Holman, and an interview with writer Amah-Rose Abrams. Higgie considers Crews-Chubb's exploration of the human condition and the role of spirituality in it. In his essay "Death, the World and All Our Woe", Holman expands on the artist's references to myth and religion, describing him as a "creator who annihilates". Holman contextualises Crews-Chubb in an art-historical lineage, considering his work alongside that of Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, and Willem de Kooning. In an in-depth interview, Crews-Chubb and Abrams delve into the artist's time at art college, the development of his painting technique and the relationship between the past and present in his work. The book is edited by Matt Price and Lada Sorokopud, designed by Import/Export, and published by Anomie Publishing, London, in association with Timothy Taylor and Roberts Projects, Los Angeles. Daniel Crews-Chubb was born in Northampton in 1984. He completed his BA at Chelsea College of Arts, London, in 2009 and undertook the Turps Studio Programme, London, in 2013. He lives and works in London. His first solo museum exhibition will take place at the Long Museum, Shanghai, in November 2024.
