Presque chaque ville ou village a maintenant des résidents en situation d'itinérance. Les municipalités se démènent pour fournir des refuges, et les politiciens locaux débattent du bien-fondé de mesures visant à empêcher les gens de dormir sur les terrains vacants et dans les parcs. Mettre fin à l'itinérance au Canada s'éloigne des solutions symboliques conventionnelles. Des collaborateurs de partout au Canada décrivent leur expérience de travail sur les causes de l'itinérance ainsi que les solutions et pratiques qui contribuent à sa prévention.

Summary:
This book was created with the utmost effort, dedication, and profound rigour, providing as much information as possible so that every reader can evaluate the project with full knowledge of the facts. On our part, we aimed to raise all the questions that readers might wish to ask about the architectural project, and Kengo Kuma generously and patiently answered them all. The publication contains three remarkable interviews. The architect Kengo Kuma, the author of the project, in the text he wrote for the book and in his interview, reveals his respect for Portugal through unusually strong words. The interview is not an easy one but once again emphasises and reveals the tribute he paid to that country, the respect he holds for it, and his clear intention to build bridges of friendship between Portugal and Japan.

Summary:
The eighth issue of Errant Journal questions the ways in which hegemonic culture and discourse tends to prioritize the ideal of openness, access, transparency, and visibility. Delving into topics such as face coverings, ‘'coming out'’ in queer discourses, the use of opacity in transformative justice, and different strategies of (visual) resistance, ‘'Against Visibility'’ can be read as a proposition of refusal of the paradigm of visibility and access that permeates all areas of western thinking. At a moment in which representation and uncovering ‘'lost'’ histories are trending, Errant asks what is being erased in a world where everything must always be visible. When Édouard Glissant proclaimed the right to opacity, he sought not to be reduced or to be measured against an ideal scale in order to be understood and accepted. Expanding from this, ''Against Visibility'' looks into the ways in which unlearning imperialism also includes unlearning the ideal of visibility itself.

Summary:
Where is sexuality, especially queer sexuality, in architecture? "The house is (not) a prison" approaches this question from a radically new position, looking not for a theory of queer architecture, but rather for a queer theory of architecture. Starting from a reconsideration of the foundational principles of architecture, Colin Ripley demonstrates how the division of space steals land from the commons and forces separations and categories. In the process, queerness is created as an indispensable outside to architecture’s disciplinary interior.
