Summary:
Bruther (Stéphanie Bru and Alexandre Theriot) emerged from a frugal France that, after the Great Recession, was demanding in its approaches and austere in its means. The distinctiveness of their buildings has remained unchanged, largely thanks to exposed installations, ingenious furniture, and sparse use of colour textiles. Bruther combines culture and technique, without compromising its environmental awareness. This issue features fifteen works, from an early proposal for a low-carbon house, through key works such as the multipurpose buildings in Saint-Blaise and Caen and the residences in Paris and Palaiseau, and culminating with their latest projects, like Frame media centre in Brussels.

Summary:
Issue 134 offers a sensitive interpretation of contemporary architecture, viewing materials as mediators between the built environment, the human body, and the surrounding landscape. The dossier, preceded by a text of Manuel Bouzas on the importance of fieldwork in architecture, brings together six projects that use natural materials – stone, earth, wood, bamboo, straw, and fabric – applied without artifice, in a journey ranging from the density of the dwellings by Josep Ferrando or Tuckey Design to the lightness of the temporary structures by Marina Tabassum or Mentrestant.

Transparency is no longer the only horizon for glass. AV Proyectos 135 explores the contemporary possibilities of this material through seven works by Max Núñez, MVRDV, or Snøhetta, among other offices, in which blocks, slats, and undulating panels transform light and create complex atmospheres. The issue also includes a feature dedicated to AgwA, the Belgian firm that has developed its practice with a focus on revitalizing existing structures through precise interventions open to collective uses. Meanwhile, Ensamble Studio presents The Cloud visitors’ center in Seoul – still under construction – conceived as a habitable topography. The overview extends to the Venice Art Biennale, with its focus on minor forms and memory processes, and is rounded out by the renovation of the Louvre by Annabelle Selldorf and Studios Architecture; OMA’s Roma Continua urban plan; and the expansion of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Panama by Palma and Taller TO. The issue concludes with a selection of products and Barbara Iweins’s personal photo archive.

Summary:
An overview of the best architecture in Spain that takes stock of architectural issues and trends in the field, placing them in the context of cultural, political, and economic events. The selection of 24 works reflects commitments to sustainability, materialised in buildings which use resources more efficiently. This includes refurbishments like Ombú for Acciona by Foster + Partners in Madrid and Palace-House by Tuñón & Albornoz in Cáceres. Nieto Sobejano and Alcolea, Ercilla, and Tárrago promote sustainability through courtyards and building orientation in university buildings, while other projects rely on low-impact, recyclable, or locally sourced materials like wood or ceramic.

Summary:
If there is no doubt that "size matters", and that scale is one of the main factors in architecture, it is also true that the propositional interest of a building is independent from its size. To support this argument, the sixteen houses selected here represent the very different strategies and dimensions that can address domestic space. With size as organising element, the issue starts with a minimum shelter of less than 30 square meters in southern Australia, and includes examples that range from careful interventions on heritage to daring typological experiments, ending at the Chilean Andes with a large house-studio of over 2,000 square meters.
