Arch Manifest is a new collection from @editionsbessard linking photography and architecture.
For its first issue the collection opens with a collaboration with Didier Faustino, the director of the collection, and one of his utopian architectures questioning the future. This labyrinthine, modular architecture with multiple combinations inspired the design of the book with a play of scale transposed to the body of the text, playing on with the typography and its occupation of the format. The cover opens and folds in facets, reminding the structures that Faustino has imagined.

“Vortex Populi” is a visual essai centered around five of Didier Fiúza Faustino’s creations. These projects question the notion of public space by using French Vauvan barriers as its core element. These railguards become, in Faustino’s world, an object-prototype for popular struggles.
This research begun in 2013 with Memories of Tomorrow, an installation made for the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris. Two years later, Fiúza Faustino goes back to this object usually made to regulate crowds and creates Vortex Populi, a whirlwind of Vauban barriers for “Le Magasin”, the National centre for contemporary art in Grenoble, France.

Misarchitectures brings together for the first time the entire work of Didier Faustino and his office Bureau des Mesarchitectures. Through drawings, diagrams, photographs and essays this part-monograph part-manifesto explores the ideas that drive Faustino’s architectural and artistic works: the political and ethical conditions for constructing sites and spaces within the socio-cultural layout of the city, and in particular how to critically approach the problem of the body in both private and public space. At the same time, the book revisits Faustino’s projects – from sculptures and installations, to public art, architectures and books – up to his most recent work, offering new insight into the architect’s perspective.

Short Cuts is a different type of “art book” which doesn”t fit the classic definition of this term. Bureau des Mésarchitectures tried to make a book one could easily carry, inspired by Japanese comics, mangas.
10 years of the agency’s work are displayed on more than 200 pages.
This book highlights the coherence and strength of FIúza Faustino’s work. The conceptual artist and his agency’s interdisciplinarity is displayed through a mix of experimental works in varied locations.
