Summary:
Cette publication représente une fiction architecturale qui prend la forme d'un roman-photo, né de la rencontre entre un auteur, Ugo Bienvenu, et les architectes du Pavillon français de la 18e Biennale internationale d'architecture de Venise. Ugo Bienvenu, dessinateur et réalisateur, imagine dans ce roman l'histoire et le mythe du Ball Theater. Son récit se situe dans un monde suspendu entre passé et futur, qui mêle le trouble de l'abandon et la joie d'une fête collective. L'histoire nous conduit à suivre le périple d'une petite communauté d'enfants étrangement semblables et d'un robot rouillé, et leur découverte d'objets énigmatiques qu'ils entreprennent d'assembler pour leur redonner vie. Le titre vient d'un extrait, remanié et privé de sens, d'un traité latin. Il fait référence à la pratique courante, dans le milieu du graphisme et de l'imprimerie, qui consiste à employer ce texte comme remplissage temporaire des zones de texte en attente. Dans le contexte de l'ouvrage, l'association de ces deux termes latins renvoie à l'idée d'un conte architectural dont le sens émerge au fil de l'action, avant les mots et les explications.

Summary:
This publication documents the artworks of the exhibition "Repair," Australian Pavilion, 16th International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, under the creative direction of Baracco+Wright Architects in collaboration with Linda Tegg. It shares the thinking embodied in the work and reflects on the spaces prompted by its life. The exhibition invites you to look anew at a plant community that has been overlooked as a site only for human use, to the extent that there is only 1% now left and to reflect on the ground, what it supports, what is displaced. As presented through our premier cultural institution, La Biennale di Venezia, this exhibition will live on through seed the authors of this investigation have already started to collect and through relationships they are building with research institutes in Europe.

Summary:
The official catalog for the United Arabic Emirates' National Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale, ''In Plain Sigh''t was conceived as a collection of travels through aridity. Contributors were asked to explore the relationship between travel, travel writing and the built environment. What emerged was a diverse set of positions and attitudes towards travel writing that ranged from documenting journeys through historical texts and images in search of lost relationships with aridity and the practices it engenders, to authors who traveled to contemporary arid spaces in search of nuance and abundance, and essays that explore the blurry and conceptual edges of aridity. Alongside the travel-based contributions, the book presents a series of field notes, ostensibly framed as research findings. In the field notes, curator Faysal Tabbarah attempts to narrate the places, materials and tactics that he encountered on numerous trips. Buttressing these field notes are photographic series depicting the range of tactics used in constructing Al Hajar’s built environment. Addressing aridity across time, space and ideas, In Plain Sight recasts the genre of travel literature, challenging the ways in which arid environments have historically been depicted.

Summary:
''The Beauty of Impermanence'' is a scholarly documentation of the 2023 Sharjah Architecture Triennial. It explores architectural responses to sustainability, resource scarcity, and adaptability, highlighting the contrasting resource management strategies of the global North and South over the last four hundred years. The North exploited resources through a belief in endless abundance and technological advances, underpinned by religious and mythological justifications for colonialism and slavery. The South, characterized by resource scarcity, has innovated within these constraints, developing adaptable, sustainable solutions that may offer a blueprint for future global resource management. The book advocates for a shift away from a consumption-driven approach to one that is ecologically and ethically responsible, urging a collective resolve to create systemic change for a sustainable future. It is structured around the thematic strands of “Renewed Contextual,” “Extraction Politics,” and “Intangible Bodies” and features essays by noted scholars and practitioners. Detailed project spreads from Triennial participants, showcasing innovative practices that integrate environmentally friendly methods and materials, round off this volume that serves as a vital resource for those engaged in the fields of architecture, sustainability, and urban planning.

The interplay between temporariness and liveability of the pavilion is seen through the gaze of the “little toad” from a popular Korean children’s folk song. The exhibition examines architectural value and regeneration through the exchange of old and new. The pavilion is seen as a "house of exhibitions" where memories and narratives accumulate.
