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.

Based in Budapest, the Architecture Uncomfortable Workshop is an office that, in addition to planning small projects, always looks for ways to experiment. One of their biggest motivations is attempting to understand contemporary vernacular architecture as they continuously pursue situations where comfort meets real human needs. 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.

Summary:
Bitterfeld’s county museum, Kreismuseum Bitterfeld, contains a black box with herbaria dating from 1931. This collection, compiled by botanist Hans Weber, is an inventory of the flora gathered in the nearby Goitzsche region, a forested area of floodplain. It was not long before the plant life collected here was forced to give way to society’s demand for brown coal. Taking the herbaria as its starting point, this book interweaves stories about Bitterfeld’s energy-defined landscape with the modern legacy of the Bauhaus. Using archival documents, physical interventions, and field studies, the book proposes a new reading of the Bauhaus’s modernist motto ”Light! Air! Sun!“ recast as ”Heat, Breath, Growth“. The book thus points up the downside of resource extraction and environmental destruction in the ”clean modern age“, while also identifying movements in search of a nature-based culture characterized by care and stewardship.
