Summary:
Shohei Shigematsu, whose works include projects from educational facilities, art museums, and exhibition designs to high-rise commercial complexes, has been the lead at OMA New York since 2006. All his designs can be described as “open-ended” and able to “absorb and reflect society in the moment”. Through a curated selection of images, this issue captures architecture that demonstrates how the rational box and soft form can coexist, as embodied in the contemporary public realm. A selection of 34 projects representing the architecture of both New York and Tokyo is expanded upon with essays by Shigematsu and others, plus two conversations with the architect.

Summary:
This issue highlights the work of adama-faiden, founded in Buenos Aires in 2005 by Sebastián Adamo and Marcelo Faiden. Nearly two decades of work is traced through 34 projects in chronological order. From small residential projects in their early years, the studio has transitioned into an increasingly diverse practice, including a high-rise in central Buenos Aires and social housing in Europe. Regardless of scale, what remains consistent in their work is a considered approach to urban environments and a sensitivity to airflow. Their designs often feature permeable facades and cohabitating plants, creating a soft, fluid connection between interior and exterior.

Summary:
This book chronicles the fourth academic year of the studio led by Kersten Geers at the Academy of Architecture USI in Mendrisio. It was produced as a counterpart to Experiments in Thickness, a book which focused on the work of Giancarlo de Carlo in Urbino. As a means of grappling with that elephant in the room—the modern project—and its perceived failure of good intentions, all the projects gathered here are an update of sorts. Abstract overarching narratives were updated as premises for projects in Milan, De Carlo’s campus in Urbino was updated to accommodate current student population, and unrealised projects in Milan were revived to create a radically contemporary urbanity. But this was not an exercise in nostalgia and retrieval of the lost cause, as much as seeking an opportunity in a modernist ending.

Summary:
Yonge street very much the spine of Toronto. The city has grown up along and from it, with successive arterial roads radiating outwards like ribs. It’s a line that both divides the city, and its streets, into east and west – marking the beginning of address numbering in each direction – and that ties the city together. As it moves from the lakefront to the city’s northern(...)

Yonge street very much the spine of Toronto. The city has grown up along and from it, with successive arterial roads radiating outwards like ribs. It’s a line that both divides the city, and its streets, into east and west – marking the beginning of address numbering in each direction – and that ties the city together. As it moves from the lakefront to the city’s northern border, Yonge evolves constantly, at each point reflecting the nature of its new environment, and so showcasing many of the different phases of our vast metropolis.

Peut-être que le « non » ouvre un espace, une brèche dans laquelle certaines choses peuvent enfin se mettre à naître. Dans ce dossier, nous avons rassemblé des exercices de refus. Des « non » appliqués, des « non » qui se découvrent et s’affirment. Nous avons eu envie de lancer ce défi d’écriture parce que nous vivons dans une société de consommation et de docilité. Notre souhait était de dévier notre attention des espaces où la parole n’est pas respectée, de laisser résonner le non-désir, l’écœurement, pour voir ce que ça faisait bouger en nous et dans le monde. Et en demandant aux gens de poser par l’écriture des gestes de refus ou de nous raconter ceux qu’iels ont posés, nous avons vu poindre cette intuition: dire non, refuser, ce n’est pas abdiquer, c’est demeurer rétif·ves et en action. Qu’arriverait-il si nous les laissions surgir, ces « non » qui font si mal? Si nous les poursuivions dans la joie? Pouvons-nous prendre le risque total de vivre avec eux?

Summary:
There is no snow on Mount Fuji. Any hack will tell you the phase change is here, the restructuring of the world is underway. That would be a relief, like a broken fever. But they are wrong. We are still waiting. This period is merely the static on the skin, the rising pressure and building tension before the impending climax of a deluge. We live under a lavender sky, silver and green; this is the time of unsettled air, heavy with that metallic smell of the earth. Soon the wind will awake, driving the rain forward like a cloud of smoke. The tremendous powers by which our lives are encompassed are stirring. How can we prepare for this transformation? We interview professor Jonathan White on the future as a political idea. Artist Dozie Kanu presents a flyer for higher education, while Opioid Crisis Lookbook speculates on semiotics. Peter Saville reviews the mood with Jack Self, who reviews voice notes, moral killing, and the Star Trek universe. Isabelle Bucklow binge-watches tech demos. Satoshi Fujiwara captures law enforcement hardware. Ruba Al-Sweel reviews the non-commercial image, while Martina Rocca and Izzy Farmiloe review the production of culture. Carmen Winant documents the last safe abortion, Felix Mcnamara writes notes on minutiae, John Sunyer attends a run club, plus much more.
