Summary:
This publication unfolds an inside view of the installation by Elizabeth Hatz at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. It shows how the installation has been made using 133 pigmented prints of original drawings from Drawing Matter in Somerset, ArkDes in Stockholm, the architects' private archives and a large hand drawing by Hatz on a specially designed table-bench. The fold-out cover illustrates the room's four walls, each of which organise four concept-sets relating to the Biennale theme of Freespace: Ground–Floor, Temple–Shed, Niche–Stoa and Mind–Space. The full-sized colour plates inside show in more detail the collage of drawings on each wall, illustrating how the printing process allowed Hatz to orchestrate the size as well as position of each drawing within these exploratory fields. Hatz's accompanying essay invokes the spatial experience created by the room-drawings and the rich conversations they capture.

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.
