Issue no. 7 features interviews with architects, designers and active craftspeople from fields such as blacksmithing, bricklaying, carpentry and thatching. They all have a keen focus on the high carbon footprint of the construction industry and of the need to find solutions. The reduction of CO2 emissions is also a key issue when the bookazine takes the reader behind the scenes of the development of wall tiles with a high content of crushed, used bricks. As usual, this issue of the bookazine also includes stories about textiles, glassware, food and drink.

Summary:
Dans "L'architecture au féminin", Annmarie Adams et Peta Tancred dressent un portrait de l'ensemble des architectes canadiennes, depuis leur entrée dans la profession durant les années 1920 jusqu'aux années 1990. Elles soulignent le parcours de plusieurs de ces femmes architectes, en illustrant comment certaines mettent en question les pratiques traditionnelles tandis que d'autres cherchent à élargir le domaine de l'architecture. En s'appuyant sur des documents originaux, incluant des données inédites, des dessins d'architectes, des projets réalisés et des entrevues, les auteures réfutent les idées reçues au sujet du rôle marginal dévolu aux femmes architectes. Elles révèlent comment plusieurs d'entre elles, notamment les Québécoises durant les années 1960, ont participé à la réalisation de projets d'envergure. Elles montrent enfin que, si la profession a souvent cherché à contenir l'apport des femmes architectes dans des limites étroites, celles-ci ont joué un rôle de premier plan dans le développement de l'architecture et continuent encore aujourd'hui de repousser les frontières de la profession.

Summary:
La médiocrité esthétique et le fonctionnalisme primaire de la reconstruction post 1945 sécrète une crise durable qui affecte l’architecture et l’urbanisme dans l’ensemble du monde occidental. A la "Cité radieuse" des années 1930 succède, au milieu du siècle, une nouvelle utopie la "Mégastructure". Hybride colossal traversant des territoires sans frontières, elle règle du même élan, et l’architecture, et l’urbanisme, et les infrastructures. Mais l’engouement pour ces grandes machines sensées résoudre les problèmes à l’échelle planétaire s’émousse durant les sixties. La "Mégastructure" cède le pas à l’"Architecture radicale", ce faisant on assiste au basculement d’une approche de l’architecture dont les références sont le besoin et la construction à une autre dont les références sont l’immédiateté et la consommation, les objets mobiles et le plaisir du corps. Cette transformation correspond au passage d’une architecture conçue en terme de progrès social et de bonheur humain, à une architecture de la révélation du monde existant. Première monographie exhaustive sur la période, Superarchitecture est abondamment illustrée à l’aide d’une iconographie originale issue des archives des Smithson, d’Hollein, de Fuller, Friedman, Archigram, Price, Archizoom, Superstudio, etc. De l’utopie critique qui se dégage des projets de ces acteurs et de la puissance évocatrice de leurs dessins, les architectes contemporains comme Koolhaas, Tschumi ou MRDV se sont fortement inspirés pour construire leur univers conceptuel.

Summary:
Although highly regarded during his short life--and honored by artists and architects today--the American artist Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-78) has been largely ignored within the history of art. Matta-Clark is best remembered for site-specific projects known as "building cuts." Sculptural transformations of architecture produced through direct cuts into buildings scheduled for demolition, these works now exist only as sculptural fragments, photographs, and film and video documentations. Matta-Clark is also remembered as a catalytic force in the creation of SoHo in the early 1970s. Through loft activities, site projects at the exhibition space 112 Greene Street, and his work at the restaurant Food, he participated in the production of a new social and artistic space. In this first critical account of Matta-Clark's work, Lee considers it in the context of the art of the 1970s--particularly site-specific, conceptual, and minimalist practices--and its confrontation with issues of community, property, the alienation of urban space, the "right to the city," and the ideologies of progress that have defined modern building programs.

Summary:
Baudrillard has become incredibly popular in architecture in recent years and this is the first time that the work of one of the world’s greatest philosophers has been pulled together to present a complete assessment and understanding of it. In Baudrillard's terms, architecture could be seen as the supreme medium of contemporary visual culture, especially in its potential to influence the individual's perception of reality as a component of the massmedia system. This type of cultural analysis of the built environment is a relatively new idea in architectural criticism and this book provides the first invaluable directory for the reader. Proto uses extracts from Baudrillard's very own work, including previously unpublished material. Proto's style makes Baudrillard's work easy to read and easily accessible to readers in cultural studies, geography and art, as well as sociology and social theory.
