Summary:
As focus shifts to ''no net land take'' city regeneration approaches one of the main traditional elements of architecture- the roof- is gaining renewed prominence. This book provides a survey of worldwide experiences of city rooftop re-use strategies such as building-on and integrating new volumes within the existing buildings. Twenty-four case studies illustrate a multiplicity of projects that innovate on traditional typologies by offering multiple ways of living, working and using public services in the city. They all share a symbiotic method that exploits the extraordinariness of the ''top condition'' offered by the roof to foster a subtle change in the whole building's urban identity. They test new technologies for light and quick construction methods in order to deal with structural constraints and the needs of inhabitants. City roofscape redesign belongs to an adaptive attitude based on knowledge of the dynamic process of transformation of the physical realm, far removed from regressive preservation-only behavior. It represents a remarkable way of coping with urban regeneration issues.

Summary:
"Practice practice" addresses the parallel trajectories of cooperatives in the United States and the professionalization of architecture. This contextual background highlights the coincident struggles of the labor movement and the emergence of the architectural corporation. Within this context, the cooperative model is presented as a challenge to the prevailing conditions of the profession. Logistical frameworks for creating an architectural cooperative-- including diagrams, sample operating agreements, and bylaws-- are offered for any firm looking to transition or incorporate anew. The book projects the social, economic, and aesthetic benefits of the architectural cooperative by taking stock of cooperatives in other industries. Finally, "Practice practice" presents a vision for a cooperative network of small architecture firms as imagined in collaboration with the Architecture Lobby.

Reflections, with contributions by Giovanna Borasi, Amica Dall, Marina Otero Verzier and Stojan Pelko, in a critical and political tone reflect on each year’s ideas submitted at the Calls for Ideas. Chapter 2. Charts give a visual representation of the vast data found in applied and selected ideas, while 3.Dossier takes the form of a statistical report that captures the sheer quantity, complexity and mathematically measurable success of the platform. The highlight of the book is the chapter 4. Collaborations. Here, the evolution from an Idea, through program to the outcome is presented, thus exposing mechanisms of collaboration, which resulted in the many events across Europe, be it an exhibition, publication, film, lecture series and more.

Summary:
"Share: Conversations about contemporary architecture. The Nordic countries" is the first book in a new global series of investigative interviews about the modern architectural process. Initiated and undertaken by the Norway-based Canadian architect Todd Saunders, the Nordic Countries edition features interviews with 30 architectural practices from Finland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Iceland. With more than 25 years of professional practice behind him, Saunders has always been fascinated by the role of creativity in everyday practice and the potential power alluded to it. In a series of interviews undertaken over the past year, Saunders has queried the changing role of the architect, the challenges of contemporary practice – especially the impact of the pandemic – and the ways in which architects can achieve the right balance in the relationship between site, client, craft and innovation. Presented as a series of candid conversations between architect and architect, the book offers insights that go beyond the polished histories that usually make it into print. In particular, the interviews explore the role of challenge and failure, conflict and mistakes, chance and coincidence; all familiar aspects of the architectural process yet elements that tend to be glossed over in conventional monographs. The Nordic countries edition will be followed by companion volumes that explore the work of architects in North and South America, central Europe and the Far East.

Summary:
Nous ne pouvons plus continuer à fabriquer la ville de demain avec une logique architecturale qui voudrait qu'un bâtiment = un usage. La permanence propre à l'architecture et au bâti contraste avec la mouvance de la société contemporaine. Le patrimoine construit ne peut pas être traité comme un objet de consommation, parce qu'il mobilise trop d'énergie, de ressources et de temps. Pour être vraiment durable, comment s'adapter à cette future obsolescence ? Comment tendre vers une architecture atemporelle ? Fabriquer l'architecture comme un objet totalement réversible présente le risque de produire une architecture sans ancrage, sans histoire, incapable de considérer toutes les problématiques qui doivent intervenir dans le processus de création. Dans le prolongement d'un colloque organisé par le Groupe de Recherche sur l'Invention et l'Évolution des Formes (Grief) et par l'École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Bretagne en 2020, cet ouvrage ouvre des pistes de réflexion investies par une quinzaine d'auteurs, architectes ou chercheurs.

Their first monograph includes a conversation with founders Dénes Emil Ghyczy and Lukács Szederkényi, who began thinking and working together during their university days. The studio’s name refers to the fact that the spaces built by people are brought into being at the cost of significant physical labour, involving both sacrifice and conflict.

Summary:
Already number TEN, ''Pressing Matters X'' is a special issue reflecting a year of reflection and change, after several waves of the pandemic, Black Lives Matter protests and newly developed hybrid teaching methods. It follows last year’s ''Pressing Matters 9'' that was completely rethought with the aim to present an Open Source publication that shares the Department of Architecture’s concept of design-research, an integral approach of critical thinking, rigorous research, and design, representing a deep understanding of the complex layers of architecture. Together with Jonathan Jackson & team of WSDIA, a more integral design was developed, allowing input from research [ARI labs], students, faculty and Penn’s special events. This anniversary of ''Pressing Matters'' is celebrated by adding the ''decade'' color of silver to the usual recycled cardboard cover of Weitzman’s architecture publication. It also represents a year of new opportunities brought by a complete rethinking of education through the introduction of remote learning, zoom lectures and meetings. A much larger international group of diverse jurors, experts, and critics could be invited as travel was of no hindrance for attendance.
