Summary:
AV Proyectos 127 explores earthen construction, a technique recovered in projects like those of Boltshauser Architekten, Studio Mumbai, Assemble or Peris+Toral, among other studios included in this dossier that shows how tradition and innovation can intertwine to explore different types, scales, and ways of dwelling. This approach is broadened with the perspectives of architect Anna Heringer and rammed earth expert Martin Rauch, discussed during a conversation on the capacity of this material to generate spaces with a huge social impact and respect for the environment. Furthermore, the Barcelona-based studio TAKK works on new forms of domesticity to address the different natural and seasonal rhythms from an economy of means.

Around 75 % of residential buildings in Germany are made of masonry – a trend likely mirrored across Europe, such as in the southern regions and the UK.

Summary:
Around 75 % of residential buildings in Germany are made of masonry – a trend likely mirrored across Europe, such as in the southern regions and the UK. This enduring preference reflects growing confidence in solid construction and provides the impetus for dedicating this issue of Detail to the topic. There are many reasons to opt for brick, including local building traditions. In Limerick, Ireland, Níall McLaughlin Architects designed a brick exhibition building celebrating rugby, the national sport. In Berlin, nearby brick cemetery structures inspired the facade colour of a foundation centre. Using single-coloured exposed concrete and two brick types, AFF Architekten made a bold red statement in the cityscape.

Summary:
This fifth issue of the e-flux Index, comprises nine new categories for sorting it all out. These are titled: Is That All There Is?; What a Body Can Do; The Physicists’ Laugh; Dens, clubs, hives, and cells; The Tourist; Flickers; Promethean Shame; Proxies; and Inextinguishable Fires. In the exploratory spirit of Bas Jan Ader’s Primary Time (1974) or Susan Hiller’s remarks on the forbidden childhood pleasures of taxonomizing, more than that of Linnaeus, each of these categories represents an attempt at daisy cutting samples from the dynamic, complex meadow of discourse across the arts, architecture, education, theory, and politics. This deviant taxonomy is not designed to reduce or abstract away from the complexity of critical discourse and artistic activity in the present moment, but rather to do justice to this very heterogeneity.

Log 63: winter/spring 2025
$25.00
(available in store)
Summary:
In Log 63, poet Emily Stewart walks around Graz and thinks of "Doreen Massey’s notion of 'throwntogetherness,' a term she uses to gather the multifarious threads of what it means to think speculatively in space and time." In a sense, this open issue of Log is an example of that throwntogetherness, with threads connecting ideas and voices, across time and space, on a range(...)

Summary:
Do you feel heard? We try to put our thoughts into words to describe what we feel or what we believe in. We communicate with our bodies and speak through our actions. But silence is a form of communication, too. In silence, complex relationships unfold and allow unspoken realities to emerge. In every absence lies a presence, in every pause a possibility.

Cleanliness is an obsession; dirt is a fascination. Disgust is embedded in personal and cultural systems to help us discern and navigate what could endanger our integrity as a body or society.

Summary:
Cleanliness is an obsession; dirt is a fascination. Disgust is embedded in personal and cultural systems to help us discern and navigate what could endanger our integrity as a body or society. Yet revulsion to dirtiness is more than a protective mechanism. Introducing uncleanliness in design can be revolutionary or revelatory. As architects-to-be, we are aware that our practice and its history is inherently unclean. We have disowned our masters, disavowed our teachers, distanced ourselves from our rites. But becoming too aware of all the filth produced by the profession can tempt us to impose sanitary barriers and refuse to get our hands dirty.

"Spolia" absorb energy from an external force and deform elastically. As archeological tools at (de)construction sites, they form hidden testaments to political dependencies, ecosystem clashes, art in galleries, even office tower elevators. Input: strange simultaneity of icons that are immediate, available, and ready to be transformed. Output: remnants reorganized to serve architecture and its demands. We look back to the future and ahead to the past. We persist in building, digging, finding, collecting, assembling to produce meaning.

In this issue’s extended editorial note, Bracy Appeikumoh asks, "Was utopia, like extra lives, envisioned as a means of escaping death?" Among the haunting contradictions of living in the imperial core, whose violences seek their own immortality, to seize a different kind of “extra life” takes an extra real imagination. Across virtual game worlds, ancestral inheritances, unfinished revolutionary histories, artists’ data storage, and more, contributors to C160 reflect on extra life as a state both surplus and sacred—what persists in age-old cycles of decay.
