Summary:
This anthology is a critical reflection on the making of Soil Lab, a project built with a community in North Lawndale, Chicago, and hosted by the Danish Arts Foundation at the 2021 edition of the Chicago Architecture Biennial. The pages give space to a conversation that stretches far outside both the confines of the Soil Lab’s site in North Lawndale and the short duration of the biennial. The book is a meeting place for the voices which contributed to the Soil Lab project, and maps their constellation of disciplines—across architecture, art, anthropology, ecology, craft and community work—and global geographies, including the US, Denmark, Ireland, Puerto Rico and Austria. The story of the project, and the many lives and threads that it brushed up against, is told through histories, criticism, photographic essays, instruction manuals, soil recipes and interviews.

Summary:
Exploring the infinite ways in which plastics permeate our bodies and our world, ''Everlasting Plastics'' offers intimate and political accounts of our fraught yet enmeshed kinship with these materials. Rather than making a case for or against the material, the writings and artworks collected in this volume attempt to register our ongoing toxic dependencies on plastic, its impact on other material cultures and behaviors, and the harm and possibilities it entangles for our collective futures. ''Everlasting Plastics'' records and expands upon the exhibition of the US Pavilion at the 2023 Venice Biennale, which excavated the ways synthetics both shape and erode contemporary ecologies, economies, and the built environment.

Summary:
Le catalogue prospectif Carbone 20 met en exergue des pratiques artistiques qui font appel au collectif et font naître d’autres manières de faire. Il explore les réseaux visibles et invisibles, s’arrêtant sur des initiatives multiples et situées, de Saint-Étienne à sa région et jusqu’à l’international. Cet ouvrage rassemble des entretiens, des témoignages, des mises en perspectives historiques, des analyses d'expériences. Il est parsemé d'images liées à ces propositions et de scans de projets éditoriaux, comme autant d'entrées dans les pratiques auto-organisées. C’est une célébration de tentatives et de stratégies aux formes et aux engagements différents, dans ce présent où il n’y aurait pas d’alternatives, qui nous amène sans cesse à interroger positionnements, manières de circuler, de faire, d’agir et d’être ensemble notamment par le champ de l’art contemporain.

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.

Summary:
Published in conjunction with the Korean Pavilion’s exhibition at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, this volume reflects on the 30-year history of the Korean Pavilion and re-examines the vision of sustainability and the architectural presence of the national pavilion in the face of geopolitical shifts. 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.
