Summary:
This edition of the Dutch architecture journal presents essays in word and image on the designed environments of today, yesterday and tomorrow. Its subjective arguments and personal reflections on the field's practice and discourse consider what is (and is not) happening and is (and is not) being said: Architecture Bulletin reflects on the field and all of its potential significance. This, its third issue, tackles the many manifestations of the city, the power centers in street life, the ways in which public spaces are "hacked" by subversive street artists and the ways in which public space in the average city now extends into the virtual domain. Corollary essays reflect on the impact of the hyper-reality of the shopping mall on social behavior, and on social interventions that improve the livability of architecture.

For this yearbook, our annual selection of the representative arcitecture of Japan, fifty works have been chosen from those published in Shinkenchiku Jutaku Tokushu and are presented in order of the amount of floor area, from smallest to largest. Rather than using a highly arbitary order based either on the circumstances surrounding the work, its topicality or building type, in adopting this pratical arrangement from small to large scale, we anticipate that the latent similarities, proximities and differences that surface will become apparent and incite new discoveries.

Summary:
À l’heure où le froid nous garde à l’intérieur, Continuité s’attarde au patrimoine mobilier québécois, particulièrement à un de ses pans les plus méconnus : le patrimoine moderne. Au cœur du XXe siècle, alors que notre société sentait le besoin de se définir dans le monde moderne, nos meilleurs artisans et concepteurs ont développé un savoir-faire pour déborder des traditions et constituer un héritage contemporain. Forts d’une volonté de concevoir un ameublement québécois original et de plain-pied dans son époque, ces créateurs ont exploré les résonances qu’entretiennent la structure et le décor. Ils ont prolongé le dessin du bâtiment dans le mobilier, rendant ce dernier presque indissociable de l’architecture. Ainsi le meuble s’est ouvert à la nouveauté. Les créateurs québécois ont puisé dans les grands courants stylistiques de l’époque l’inspiration pour repenser le meuble d’ici. Sous leur impulsion est née à la fin des années 1930 la célèbre École du meuble de Montréal, où se sont développés un design mobilier et un savoir-faire uniques. Ses artisans ont imposé une nouvelle signature moderne et authentiquement québécoise. Pour explorer le mobilier moderne, Continuité a sollicité la collaboration de passionnés, de connaisseurs et de collectionneurs qui nous donnent accès à ce patrimoine, des modèles précurseurs des années 1930 jusqu’au design moderne qui s’affirme depuis les années 1960. Comment s’est exprimé ce savoir-faire au XXe siècle, à l’époque où le Québec s’ouvrait au design mobilier ? Qui en étaient les principaux représentants ? Que deviennent ces pièces de collection qui survivent au décor ? Continuité découvre quelques-unes de ces créations qui occupent et meublent nos espaces de vie. Caroline Marois Rédactrice en chef

Our field, and perhaps every field, is defined by ambition. To know ourselves we have to know ambition. But ambition is far from simple. It is never straightforward, never the singular drive it appears to be. Rather, it is a set of interacting forces in which often the means are mistaken for ends. This issue of Volume on Ambition offers a preliminary map of what has(...)
