Uniform Title: Land of plenty

Content: Das Leben eines Vietnam-Veteranen in Los Angeles, der unter den Nachwirkungen seines Kriegsdienstes leidet, erhält durch die Begegnung mit seiner 20- jährigen Nichte, die ihn aus seiner Deckung lockt, eine neue Richtung. Gemeinsam begeben sie sich auf Spurensuche, wenngleich aus unterschiedlichen Motiven. Wim Wenders wirft einen kritischen und zugleich zärtlichen Blick auf ein in sich zerrissenes Amerika voller Angst und Armut, ein Land, das sich nach dem 9. September 2001 neu orientiert. Sein subtiles, in angemessen spröden Bildern fotografiertes Road Movie ist voller leise Trauer über den Verlust von Werten, den Wandel von Gerechtigkeit in Selbstgerechtigkeit die Verlorenheit von Menschen in einem komplexen System.

Content: Architects draw buildings, and the buildings they draw are usually populated by representations of the human figure-drawn, copied, collaged, or inserted-most often to suggest scale. It is impossible to represent architecture without representing the human form. This book collects more than 1,000 scale figures by 250 architects but presents them in a completely unexpected way: it removes them from their architectural context, displaying them on the page, buildingless, giving them lives of their own. They are presented not thematically or chronologically but encyclopedically, alphabetically by architect (Aalto to Zumthor). In serendipitous juxtapositions, the autonomous human figures appear and reappear, displaying endless variations of architecturally rendered human forms. Some architects' figures are casually srcawled; others are drawn carefully by hand or manipulated by Photoshop; some are collaged and pasted, others rendered in charcoal or watercolors
