Summary:
Acclaimed architect Rafael Moneo features in this special double issue. In the 21st century, Moneo has continued the versatile approach to the discipline which has sustained his reputation since the start of his professional career in the 1970s. From cultural buildings and healthcare facilities to commercial complexes and highly contextual projects, he demonstrates a combination of rigour and freedom that has visibly impacted architectural culture in his native Spain. Setting out from some of his earliest works, the monograph advances chronologically through the decades, highlighting Moneo’s most exemplary projects. Includes an essay by the architect, ''Time Present and Time Past''.

Summary:
At a time marked by the climate crisis and violent conflicts, an increasing number of architects are turning to impermanence and adaptability to show an alternate path to tackle the fragility and scarcity affecting our planet. Counter to the neoliberal appetite for abundance and the delirium of indefinite growth, this issue explores the relationship between nature and economy. It examines the social construction of scarcity, finding in certain communities signs of resilience and adaptative intelligence. Case studies in Thailand, India, Iran, Rwanda, Niger, Colombia, and Ecuador serve to illuminate this new path. Also in this issue, an interview with Mexican architect Fernanda Canales.

Summary:
After studying at University College Dublin, Níall McLaughlin moved to London, where in 1990 he set up his own office. Since then, he has developed a solid career, defined by a timeless language and an attentive dialogue with context. The latest issue of AV Monographs takes stock of his career with a selection of twenty of his main works. Featured in chronological order these key projects reflect a commitment to the discipline that makes no distinctions of scale or program. Floor plans of bold geometry and facades of tactile sensuality are as present in the domestic projects of Piper’s End and Goleen as they are in the large buildings for the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, as well as in the civic complexes in London and Limerick, in all of which shines the so very British spirit of honouring the past without ceasing to look in the direction of the future.

Anna Puigjaner sits down for an interview with this magazine about these ‘'new mannerisms.’, and to discuss how MAIO, the office she directs with María Charneco, Alfredo Lérida and Guillermo López, shies away from classifications to defend a political practice, more sustainable and inclusive. The issue continues with the conversion of an old warehouse in Rotterdam into the new FENIX Museum, carried out by MAD Architects.

Summary:
The climate crisis has meant a return to the principles of traditional construction and the use of passive systems, with the purpose of achieving maximum comfort with a minimum environmental impact using strategies such as solar orientation, form factor, or wind patterns. AV Monographs collects sixteen houses designed according to this bioclimatic approach to respond to a huge variety of situations, from the intense heat of the African coast to the heavy snowfall of northern Europe, via the tropical rain of Southeast Asia, the marked seasonality in some areas of South America or China, and the mild temperatures in Central America and the Mediterranean.

Summary:
Since they set up their studio in 2006 – a time marked by the impact of the financial crisis – Arquitectura-G has completed a considerable number of projects while continuing their research and dissemination work in the field. Almost two decades later, AV Monographs collects twenty works that take stock of the polyphonic creativity and international expansion of the studio: from exemplary interventions on existing structures to lucid new-build housing projects, via experimental spaces for retail or transformations of historical complexes. All this is accompanied by a foreword signed by Harquitectes, who propose an impressionistic analysis of their work; and an epilogue written by the architects themselves, in which they unravel the office’s internal work process.

This view is supported by architects and professors like Óscar Linares, who comments on the seven international projects contained in the dossier; or the Madrid-based team of Elena Orte and Guillermo Sevillano, of SUMA Arquitectura, which we have interviewed here on their pioneering experience using structural timber in Spain. The issue continues with the competition porposals for the remodelling of the Municipal Museum of Contemporary Art (SMAK) in Ghent, by David Kohn and noAarchitecten, and the work in process for the new Benin National Assembly in Porto Novo, by Francis Kéré, closing with Luis Fernández-Galiano’s review of Fischer von Erlach’s Project of a Historical Architecture, recently re-edited.

Summary:
AV Proyectos 125 dedicates its cover to social heritage, a concept that includes the conversion of industrial buildings into civic spaces. As Ricardo Flores and Eva Prats point out in the article that accompanies the section, such interventions aim to give new life to the traces – material or immaterial –, that are identified after a careful observation of the existing. And in its further analysis of this theme, the magazine conducts an interview with BURR, the young Madrilenian studio that focusses its practice on the reactivation of unused industrial facilities.
