Summary:
Gumshoe is a new series of architectural books that introduces an original approach to the writing of architectural history. Emulating the detective novel, the focus is on actual buildings rather than on speculative designs and theories. The style and form are fresh and scholarly but also easy and enjoyable to read. In Mysteries of a Communist Cave, the second book in the Gumshoe series, Lytle Shaw conducts an investigation of Oscar Niemeyer’s building for the French Communist Party’s (PCF) central committee in Paris. Designed in 1965, just as party theorists began to rethink many bedrock assumptions about representation, Oscar Niemeyer’s PCF building is a microcosm of the shifting political and architectural landscape of the 1960s. It is also a literal Marxist structure that can thus help us concretely picture just exactly what Structuralist Marxism might have been. Shaw draws out the PCF’s language and context one element at a time and puts the elegant curtain-wall building, with its cave-like assembly hall, into revelatory dialogue with interlocutors in film, philosophy, anthropology, and politics.

(available in store)
Summary:
Homelessness is one of the most pressing social challenges of our time, and is closely linked to issues of urban design and architecture. Homeless people are part of urban society and depend on accessible public spaces and urban infrastructure. Yet, in cities around the world, local governments use policies and urban planning to ward off street people, aiming at making them invisible in the cityscape and deliberately impeding certain forms of stay. Urban design always reflects power structures—it can exclude or open up avenues for participation. ''The Roofless Truth'' brings together contributions by international researchers and practitioners from the fields of architecture, urban development and design, sociology, ethnology, social work, and education. It offers academic analyses and essays, field reports, and student proposals for interventions in public space, and features award-winning projects and initiatives in Canada, Germany, Iran, Switzerland, and the US. The book highlights how public spaces should be designed to offer protection, dignity, and opportunities for homeless people, and to facilitate encounters and interaction. The featured examples impressively demonstrate that even the smallest spatial decision can determine inclusion or exclusion. ''The Roofless Truth'' paints a multifaceted picture of planning and design as a social practice beyond representation and prestige.

Summary:
En novembre 1974, Werner Herzog apprend que son amie Lotte Eisner, critique et historienne du cinéma allemand, est très malade, on craint pour ses jours. Alors, il décide de se rendre auprès d’elle, à pied, de Munich à Paris. C’est un geste de chevalerie, un acte fou dicté par l’amitié, avec la certitude non moins folle qu’au bout du chemin Lotte Eisner serait vivante, et hors de danger. Du 23 novembre au 14 décembre 1974, il tient un carnet de route devenu depuis lors Sur le chemin des glaces. À travers cette marche qui anime de bout en bout le récit, Herzog nous réapprend à voir ce sur quoi notre œil glisse, indifférent. Tout ici est mouvement : chemins, fleuve, oiseaux, arbres, pluie, neige. Reportage mais aussi témoignage d’un homme qui nous fait partager tour à tour ses moments d’exaltation, d’épuisement, de plénitude.

Summary:
Ce livre aborde les défis de la transition sociale et écologique en explorant comment l’espace et ses formes influencent la façon dont nous habitons les territoires urbains. La transition, avec ses implications biopolitiques, sert de point de départ pour repenser la coexistence entre humains et non-humains, centres et périphéries. L’ouvrage propose un nouveau projet territorial et urbain: un laboratoire d’expérimentations et de prototypes éco-socio-spatiaux. Au cœur de cette réflexion, deux notions clés: le sol et le travail. Ces concepts permettent d’analyser les inégalités écologiques, économiques et sociales, tout en offrant une vision plus large et transfrontalière du territoire, au-delà des approches locales et fragmentées. En s’appuyant sur des projets récents dans le Grand Genève, les auteur.e.s utilisent des outils de conception pour mieux comprendre les transformations du territoire. Ils questionnent les modèles biopolitiques actuels, critiquant l’abandon de l’idéal d’un droit universel à une vie meilleure. À travers trois laboratoires expérimentaux, ils invitent à voir chaque projet comme une opportunité d’imaginer de nouvelles formes de coopération et de redistribution, tout en explorant les changements profonds à l’œuvre.

Summary:
''Eight Meditations on Architecture'' offers a rare and illuminating dialogue between two of Europe's most reflective architectural voices—Juhani Pallasmaa and Alberto Campo Baeza. Through a series of eight essays, the book examines eternal architectural themes—Beauty, Light, Time, Memory, Universality, Wisdom, Sacred, and Essentiality—revealing how enduring values shape the practice of building and the meaning of space. More than an academic treatise, this unique work underscores the necessity of cultural reflection and philosophical grounding in architectural practice. Written by architects whose writings are already essential reading in architectural education, these meditations offer a rigorous yet poetic inquiry into the discipline. Richly illustrated with contributions that interweave theory and personal insight, ''Eight Meditations on Architecture'' provides a space for reflection that is increasingly rare in contemporary discourse—one where theory and practice are not opposites but mutually reinforcing paths toward meaningful design.

The third annual Alchemy Lecture took place in October 2024 at York University to a sold-out in-person audience and online viewers from multiple continents. Four Alchemists—thinkers and practitioners working across disciplines and geographies—shared their ideas of cities and how to shape them according to community needs. Their urgent, poignant and inventive lectures have been captured and expanded in these pages. Princeton professor of architecture V. Mitch McEwen borrows the language of the swamp to suggest a city modeled on buoyancy, inviting us to consider floating "as something other than displacement." Iranian-American writer Laleh Khalili dreams of radical kinship, where even strangers have the means and desire to share a table, "creating [bonds] through the rituals of reciprocal giving." In the Bantu/Kongo tradition, Brazilian architect Gabriela Leandro Pereira points to dreams as the site from which all Black emancipation begins, leading to "projects paved by the audacity to inhabit."

Summary:
The second annual Alchemy Lecture was presented in November 2023 at York University to a sold out in-person audience and nearly one thousand live online viewers. Moderated by Dr. Christina Sharpe, the Alchemists—agile thinkers and practitioners working across a range of disciplines and geographies—convened to discuss their radical visions of the beautiful world, and the manifestos that may help to guide us there. Their treatises have been captured and luminously expanded in the pages of this book. Cherokee Nation citizen and professor Joseph M. Pierce asserts that "[f]or this decolonial future to become possible, the guiding force must no longer be capital but relations." Informed by her practice of "curation as care," Brazilian film curator Janaína Oliveira evokes music and movement as a means toward this relationality: "it's almost by falling that you live. . . . The beautiful world dances the stumbles. The beautiful world dances dancing." Kenyan-British visual artist Phoebe Boswell uses the space of a virtual gallery to ask, "If we burn down the institution, what happens next? Do we trust ourselves to know?" and gestures toward the possibility of this "as yet unlived, unexperienced thing."

L’exposition rassemble les œuvres des artistes Maude Arès, Geneviève Chevalier, Hannah Claus, Jim Holyoak, Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens, Fre´de´ric Lavoie, Angela Marsh, Kimberly Orjuela, Taqralik Partridge & Miranda Smitheram. En tentant d’adopter la perspective de l’hirondelle, du mulot ou encore du pissenlit, les œuvres réunies dans cette exposition décentrent notre regard. Elles nous enjoignent à considérer comment le territoire nous accueille et comment nous le partageons avec d’autres espèces, nous invitant à nous engager envers un monde pluriel, solidaire et profondément relationnel. Par des gestes de soin, des approches collaboratives de la création et une attention à l’éthique interspécifique, elles offrent une compréhension étendue de la notion d’hospitalité et nous encouragent à repenser nos manières « d’habiter ». Ensemble, elles explorent la possibilité d’« un monde en commun » où tous les vivants pourraient s’épanouir.

L’exposition rassemble les œuvres des artistes Maude Arès, Geneviève Chevalier, Hannah Claus, Jim Holyoak, Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens, Fre´de´ric Lavoie, Angela Marsh, Kimberly Orjuela, Taqralik Partridge & Miranda Smitheram. En tentant d’adopter la perspective de l’hirondelle, du mulot ou encore du pissenlit, les œuvres réunies dans cette exposition décentrent notre regard. Elles nous enjoignent à considérer comment le territoire nous accueille et comment nous le partageons avec d’autres espèces, nous invitant à nous engager envers un monde pluriel, solidaire et profondément relationnel. Par des gestes de soin, des approches collaboratives de la création et une attention à l’éthique interspécifique, elles offrent une compréhension étendue de la notion d’hospitalité et nous encouragent à repenser nos manières « d’habiter ». Ensemble, elles explorent la possibilité d’« un monde en commun » où tous les vivants pourraient s’épanouir.
