Serving as both a reference and a source of inspiration, this publication is intended for architects, educators, students, scientists or anyone looking to play their part in shaping a more sustainable world.

Summary:
Featuring almost a hundred years of dispatches from the Alps, ''Vintage Alpine Postcards'' celebrates Europe’s great mountain range. It takes us from men in bowler hats with stout ropes nonchalantly crawling over crevasses, through the gilded age of grand hotels and sleigh rides, to the modernist concrete infrastructure of mountaintop restaurants and cable-car stations. These postcards frame the changing way we’ve experienced landscape and leisure over more than a hundred years – from the intrepid to the banal, sublime to ridiculous and brutalist to kitsch. And postcards travel through time as well as space, and they arrive with messages from our former selves. Underlying the Alpenkitsch is a serious exposé of our relationship to nature and how we have carelessly misused the beauties of the natural world.

$20.00
(available to order)
Summary:
Do you feel heard? We try to put our thoughts into words to describe what we feel or what we believe in. We communicate with our bodies and speak through our actions. But silence is a form of communication, too. In silence, complex relationships unfold and allow unspoken realities to emerge. In every absence lies a presence, in every pause a possibility. This issue of(...)

"Lore" as a term suggests a cumulative and collective understanding of a topic. Today, it is particularly common in gaming and serial storytelling to refer to the comprehensive background story of a fictive universe.

(available to order)
Summary:
Cleanliness is an obsession; dirt is a fascination. Disgust is embedded in personal and cultural systems to help us discern and navigate what could endanger our integrity as a body or society. Yet revulsion to dirtiness is more than a protective mechanism. Introducing uncleanliness in design can be revolutionary or revelatory. As architects-to-be, we are aware that our(...)

Summary:
Cleanliness is an obsession; dirt is a fascination. Disgust is embedded in personal and cultural systems to help us discern and navigate what could endanger our integrity as a body or society. Yet revulsion to dirtiness is more than a protective mechanism. Introducing uncleanliness in design can be revolutionary or revelatory. As architects-to-be, we are aware that our practice and its history is inherently unclean. We have disowned our masters, disavowed our teachers, distanced ourselves from our rites. But becoming too aware of all the filth produced by the profession can tempt us to impose sanitary barriers and refuse to get our hands dirty.

As archeological tools at (de)construction sites, they form hidden testaments to political dependencies, ecosystem clashes, art in galleries, even office tower elevators. Input: strange simultaneity of icons that are immediate, available, and ready to be transformed. Output: remnants reorganized to serve architecture and its demands. We look back to the future and ahead to the past. We persist in building, digging, finding, collecting, assembling to produce meaning.

Welcome to the 59th issue of ''The Funambulist'' (May-June 2025), dedicated to Black Indigeneities. The association of these two terms will certainly appear obvious to many, while it might surprise others, depending on readers’ personal and regional imaginaries. The issue examines the Indigeneity-Blackness nexus in Melanesia —in Fiji (Mara Mahoney and Ratu Ropate Rakuita Wailutu Kama) and beyond, in Aotearoa New Zealand (Nathan Rew and Makanaka Tuwe)—in several regions of the African Continent—South Africa (Zoé Samudzi and Mpho Matheolane/Nolan Oswald Dennis), Nubia (Menna Agha), Eritrea (Semhar Haile), and the Gabonese forests (Maya Mihindou)—in the Caribbean—Guiana (Karl Joseph and Marc-Alexandre Tareau) and Haiti (Tessa Mars)—as well as in the diaspora.

Exponential population ageing is changing how we coexist in urban spaces. Improving discourse on “care” is high on the agenda in our globally ageing world. The task of densifying cities with hundreds of apartments in single buildings reminds us that we are responsible for incredibly sophisticated social structures. In designing these projects, de Architekten Cie. has accumulated significant experience, understanding the challenges on both architectural and urban scales, as well as their societal and emotional dimensions. ‘The Architecture of Ageing’ shares the experiences of their long-term collaborative project on housing, ageing, and care in the city.

Summary:
Au travers de dialogues inédits, ce catalogue propose de réévaluer comment certaines œuvres pionnières issues de mouvements artistiques majeurs au Japon tels que Mono-ha (L'école des choses) ou Fluxus portaient déjà un regard attentif à nos milieux de vie dans une dimension sociale et écologique, intime et collective. Si les pratiques de Noboru Takayama ou Kishio Suga (Mono-ha) font par exemple appel à la mémoire et l'histoire inhérente de nos environnements par le truchement et la confrontation de matériaux bruts, qu'ils soient d'origine naturelle ou industrielle, celles d'Hideki Umezawa et Koichi Sato ou d'Hiroshi Yoshimura investissent le médium sonore pour composer des paysages musicaux et visuels en réponse à certaines architectures et créer ainsi des lueurs de calme dans des lieux inattendus. Des approches non sans écho à celles privilégiées par certaines artistes Fluxus réunies ici (Yoko Ono, Mieko Shiomi et Takako Saito) et leur recours au langage.
