Summary:
An overview of the best architecture in Spain that takes stock of architectural issues and trends in the field, placing them in the context of cultural, political, and economic events. The selection of 24 works reflects commitments to sustainability, materialised in buildings which use resources more efficiently. This includes refurbishments like Ombú for Acciona by Foster + Partners in Madrid and Palace-House by Tuñón & Albornoz in Cáceres. Nieto Sobejano and Alcolea, Ercilla, and Tárrago promote sustainability through courtyards and building orientation in university buildings, while other projects rely on low-impact, recyclable, or locally sourced materials like wood or ceramic.

Summary:
Colonial, judiciaire, créatif ou militant?: les différents contextes dans lesquels la traduction littéraire se pratique aujourd’hui soulèvent des enjeux contemporains qui dépassent de loin le seul domaine linguistique. Donnant la parole à des traducteur·rice·s de métier, le dossier de ce numéro met en évidence le caractère éminemment subjectif et situé du geste de traduire, à un moment où la «?neutralité?» de celui-ci est plus que jamais remise en question. S’y croisent des réflexions diverses sur le rôle et les implications (éthiques, politiques et esthétiques) de la traduction selon le contexte, de même que des contributions plus personnelles à propos de la langue, de la littérature et de la poésie. Les textes du dossier nous font ainsi pénétrer dans l’espace même où les traducteur·rice·s exercent leur travail et s’interrogent sur celui-ci, se demandant, chacun·e à sa manière?: «?Chez qui traduisons-nous ??»

For centuries, architectural theory, discourse and agency have been based on diurnal and solar paradigms. References to night in Vitruvius’s De architectura are few, and the same absence is notable in Renaissance treatises by Alberti or Palladio.

Summary:
For centuries, architectural theory, discourse and agency have been based on diurnal and solar paradigms. References to night in Vitruvius’s De architectura are few, and the same absence is notable in Renaissance treatises by Alberti or Palladio. It was not until the 19th and 20th centuries that the invention and institutionalization of artificial light in private and public spaces gradually transformed conceptions of night in the architectural discipline. This volume offers the first attempt at a nocturnal history of architecture. What emerges from the studies is the thesis that the identity of human beings—across time and their domestic, professional and cultural spaces—is powerfully determined by the parameters of nighttime. By analyzing and studying "night scenes," this book reveals how the night is a laboratory for the development of new forms of conceptualizing space and, ultimately, of living.

Summary:
Receive a free copy of the third issue of AMag PT, a new series exclusively dedicated to Portuguese architecture, together with the purchase of AMag 32. Issue 32 features eighteen works by three French studios located in three cities – two collectives and one singular office – which have both essentially and formally different approaches, intervention contexts, and languages. Atelier Ordinaire develops its small-scale projects using vernacular knowledge and mainly natural, local materials. Atelier EGR focuses on large-scale projects that often entail social impact and collective use. Paris-based architect Jean-Christophe Quinton primarily seeks opportunities to make a qualitative contribution through his work. Depending on the context, scale, and function, this can shift between an individual or a collective point of view. Issue 03 PT features João Mendes Ribeiro, an architecture practice based in Coimbra (PT).
