This book is a bifurcated journey through fifteen years of the architecture practice OODA, designed as a "dream state" inner dialogue between Some Kind of Romance and Any Kind of Existence: mirrored reflections of past and future projects that reflects the practices work and exploring path from Porto to the world. Read together, these two parts are less about buildings than about a way of being in the world, offering an open narrative where architecture is presented as if in a chronicle, a journal. In Albania, it traces a transformative engagement with urban regeneration and identity reconstruction in a context of rapid urban change. In Portugal, it explores continuity through both rehabilitation and new construction, treating time, heritage, and landscape as active materials. Together, these two dimensions reveal a practice shaped by persistence and risk, belonging and transformation, grounded in place yet open to reinvention.OODA is an international architecture and urban design practice with offices in Portugal and Albania. Founded in 2010 in Porto, the studio of over sixty architects works across architecture and urban strategy, delivering residential, hospitality, office, cultural, and civic projects, as well as large-scale urban design and master planning. Recognized in international competitions, OODA combines conceptual rigor, contextual sensitivity, and collaboration to create lasting, globally engaged designs.

This monograph presents, for the first time, a comprehensive overview of more than three decades of his artistic career. Structured into 16 chapters and enriched with large-format images, it allows readers to experience the depth and uniqueness of Moroders work. Book Highlights: Comprehensive monograph covering 30 years of artistic creation Life-size sculptures of existential intensity 16 chapters offering a clear overview and art-historical context Large-format illustrations and sophisticated book design A must-have volume for collectors, art lovers, and anyone fascinated by the power of contemporary sculpture.Markus Klammer is an editor, art critic, and curator of numerous exhibitions of modern and contemporary art, with publications and texts on Heinz Gappmayr, Remy Zaugg, Gerhard Merz, Michele Bernardi, Hugo Vallazza (selection). Hatje Cantz published his monograph on Gianpietro Carlesso in 2014. Markus Klammer lives and works in Bolzano (Italy).Walter Moroder (born 1963) comes from a renowned family of sculptors in Val Gardena (Italy). During his training, he went through all the stages of the regions craft and artistic tradition, only to leave them behind after studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich (graduating in 1988) and making a decisive decision about his future direction. His sculptural exploration of the forms of the human body confirms his affinity for classical sculpture, but in conjunction with a decidedly postmodern visual thinking that goes beyond figurative, abstract, or neo-expressive conventions.

This book is the first major study of Edita Schuberts art published outside Croatia. Edita Schuberts body of work is strikingly diverse, spanning pioneering explorations of natural ecology in the 1970s to bold paintings in the spirit of the transavantgarde in the 1980s. She also created performance art on the streets of Dubrovnik and created installations that invited viewers into her world. Her later worksself-portraits of various kindsoffer profound meditations on memory, identity, and mortal- ity. Working in her studio in the Institute of Anatomy in Zagreb, she once compared her art with the practice of dissection, a precise and purposeful science which reveals the hidden territories of the human body. Often her subject was herself. The breadth of her artistic output seems to anticipate the "post-medium" condition of contemporary art. Yet when viewed together, strong lines of connection and continuity emerge, revealing a deeply intimate and single-minded vision of art.Edita Schubert (19472001) was an exceptionally prolific and inventive artist, active from the early 1970s until her untimely death at the age of 54 in 2001. A significant figure in Croatian and Yugoslav art, she exhibited at the Venice Biennale and the Biennale of Sydney and in galleries in Austria and the US, as well as frequently throughout Yugoslavia. Yet today, her art remains relatively little known.

Magdalena Abakanowicz (19302017) is known for her iconic installations that explored the relationship between humanity and nature, as well as the strength of the collective versus the individual. Today the power of her art, like predications from the past, are rivetingly real. This publication offers rich intellectual insight into the relevance of this Polish artist to the threatened presenta time in which geopolitical shifts between East and West and predictions of the Club of Rome (1972) and climate scientists are becoming a worldwide reality. And here Abakanowiczs vision on nature and the human condition is explored in a uniquely inspired way: by engaging seven artists/collaboratives to reflect in deeply personal ways on their art through dialogues with historians, philosophers, and other thinkers. This "counterpoint" launches discussion around the human condition in a post-humanist time, collective identity, trauma, climate change, unending destruction of the planet, and more. Finally, the uncommon approach of this show and book demonstrates how the elder artists art and life is a lens through which not only these artists but we can reconsider our place in the world.Magdalena Abakanowicz (19302017) is known for her iconic installations that explored the relationship between humanity and nature, as well as the strength of the collective versus the individual.

Richard Fuchs (18871947) is among the German-Jewish composers whose work emerged at the intersection of exile, loss of homeland, and cultural marginalization. After emigrating to New Zealand, Fuchs, formerly active in Germany as an architect and musician, sought to develop his compositional voice under new social and cultural conditions yet he remained deeply rooted in his homeland. Based on archival research, the study traces the composers "three lives" as a German, a Jew, and an emigre. It highlights how Fuchs responded to political and social exclusion through his music, reflecting on identity, belonging, and memory.

"Echoes of Tartini: New Essays in Theory and Practice" brings together performers, music theorists and music historians to provide fresh perspectives on Giuseppe Tartini, one of the most important musicians and teachers of the late Baroque period. The book maps Tartinis influence across geographical regionsresonating outwards from Italy to France, Russia, Central Europe and beyondand across time, notably documenting his lasting impact on violin pedagogy and acoustical theory. A somewhat liminal figure, Tartinis music and thought exemplify both Baroque sensibilities and nascent Enlightenment ideals; he lived and worked in one declining empire and in the borderlands of another; and his pedagogical innovations, while rooted in the aesthetics of his time, continue to resonate through the ages. "Echoes of Tartini" reflects on Giuseppe Tartinis work, the complex world he inhabited and his rich legacy.
