Summary:
Through the presentation of an international research project funded by the European Union, on the way people diagnosed with autism live, the book brings to the attention of Architectural Design a theme hitherto mainly addressed by other sectors of knowledge and design. Taking into consideration not only the assumed deficits but also the meaning-making skills and narratives of persons diagnosed with autism, the relationship between architecture and autism or, more generally, neurodivergences, shows its potential to expand architecture’s assumptions and possibilities rather than limiting them, by transcending the most widely-held common places and conventions.

Summary:
For decades, the call for equality and equal opportunity has been heard within the hierarchical world of architecture. The number of those actively working for change is growing. Their goal is to turn architecture into an ethically responsible and socially and ecologically sustainable practice. The publication proceeds from the question of how forms of social injustice are entwined on different spatial levels. As its enquiry unfolds, it becomes clear that the fight for gender equality in the built environment must now be linked to other forms of campaigning for social justice (anti-racism, anti-colonialism, the fight against transphobia and homophobia, etc.). As a political medium, architecture can help honour a new pledge of freedom based on a transformative idea of fairness. ARCH+ is Germany’s leading magazine for discourse in the fields of architecture and urbanism.

Summary:
Animés par le désir de créer des mondes meilleurs en temps de crise, les architectes cherchent à restructurer la société, à repenser le lien entre la ville et la campagne, à réimaginer les villes et les formes d’habitat, à réinventer l’architecture et sa matérialité – et créent ainsi une nouvelle esthétique. Les crises sont des points de basculement, où le temps est comme suspendu, où les attentes vis-à-vis de l’avenir changent, et où s’ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives. Prenant appui sur des projets historiques et contemporains, Susanne Stacher examine différentes stratégies architecturales. De nombreuses positions scientifiques et philosophique (notamment celles de Pierre-Henri Castel et Hartmut Rosa) permettent de questionner les notions de progrès, de croissance, de nature et de société telles qu’elles s’expriment à travers les projets architecturaux présentés.

Summary:
Initially founded as a Facebook group in May 2019, ''Forgotten Architecture''s goal is to research and unearth not well known modern architecture worldwide. The idea behind it is simple: to recover projects by little-known architects and works left in the shadows of the masters, to delve into the work of "minor" figures, and to unite alternative takes on the History of Architecture as a complement to university courses. The book maintains its distinctive features of a collective, dynamic, and horizontal experience born on a social network. The publication uses the architectural categories most frequently featured in the group as guiding themes, providing for each project a collection of photographic materials, documents, and drawings from prominent professional firms, institutions, and private archives—such as Fornasetti, Gaetano Pesce, Nanda Vigo, Vitra. Ephemeral architecture, gas stations, night clubs, playgrounds, houses, vacation resorts, cemeteries, churches, architectures in music videos. At the end of the book, a series of critical essays reflect on its characteristics as a collective and pedagogical experience, considering the repercussions of this experience on the discipline of architecture through different points of view.

Summary:
Universal design offers a paradigm shift in how we understand and perceive human beings and the diversity of abilities within architecture and urban planning. The concept introduces a new approach to core aspects of architecture: sensory experiences, social sustainability, and architectural qualities and meaning. In "Universal design in architecture: On enabling and empowering a diverse population", Camilla Ryhl engages in dialogue with ten architects about their practices and understanding of universal design. The book introduces a model for applying universal design at three differing levels, providing a practical framework for creating inclusive and accessible spaces. It is an essential read for architects, designers, and anyone interested in creating spaces that harmonize with the varied abilities and experiences of all individuals.
