Summary:
The direct and indirect influence of politics is making it increasingly clear that exhibitions have an inherent political dimension. This “Exhibition Politics” issue reveals the often conflicting interests that collide in the exhibition space and analyzes how institutions in particular react to an increasingly intense situation with symbolic and real political actions. Its dual focus examines, on the one hand, the visual regimes and mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion that manifest themselves within the exhibition space and, on the other hand, the concrete debates about culture cuts and the question of how aspects of the Israel-Palestine conflict can be addressed in the exhibition space in the wake of October 7th.

À la première seconde de notre vie, instinctivement, il nous faut assurer par l’inspiration et l’expiration la fonction biologique d’être au monde. À ses débuts, le souffle a été associé à l’âme, à ce qui donne vie au corps. Il a ouvert la voie à des visions de la vie cosmique et religieuse.

Summary:
À la première seconde de notre vie, instinctivement, il nous faut assurer par l’inspiration et l’expiration la fonction biologique d’être au monde. À ses débuts, le souffle a été associé à l’âme, à ce qui donne vie au corps. Il a ouvert la voie à des visions de la vie cosmique et religieuse. Aussi, dès l’antiquité, il a donné lieu à une métaphore : celle du souffle divin et de l’élan créateur. Pourtant, la pensée occidentale a de tout temps privilégié une métaphysique où la perception importe, au détriment de la respiration. Et même si, sur le plan artistique, le souffle comme élément vital a toujours été représenté, c’est principalement depuis Marcel Duchamp que le phénomène de la respiration fait place à des productions artistiques expérimentant diverses expériences sensorielles. Ce numéro rassemble des études de cas qui prennent en considération plusieurs manières de rendre compte du souffle, notamment celles associées aux conditions actuelles de la respiration au sein d’un environnement où l’air est souvent jugé malsain.

Summary:
When it comes to Jun Aoki’s projects related to art, regardless of the intended function, the architecture remains open to diverse uses, inviting relationships that have yet to be fully seen or defined. Aoki embraces ambiguity and contradictions, allowing for the coexistence of differing values and rhythms that each individual brings to the experience of art. The 25 featured projects include public art museums, galleries, exhibition designs, and artworks. Each transforms into a unique spatial experience depending on the art it hosts, the people who visit, and its moment in time. With new essays and commentary by Aoki, this is a glimpse of architecture’s potential to suggest a freer future.

The cradle-to-cradle principle envisions buildings returning to the natural cycle after use. In practice, however, most are only partially composed of natural or compostable materials.

Summary:
The cradle-to-cradle principle envisions buildings returning to the natural cycle after use. In practice, however, most are only partially composed of natural or compostable materials. One notable exception is Florian Nagler’s Garden House, winner of the Detail Award, which closely follows this principle. Another route is the reuse or refurbishment of components from demolished buildings. But this, too, is complex – components are often scarce and costly to extract and and make fit for new applications. To facilitate recycling, some structures are being designed for disassembly. Yet even timber joints fixed with screws can prove difficult to undo after years in place. A research group in Arles sees itself as a recycler of remnants, developing new materials from construction debris and agricultural waste: sunflower stalks become acoustic panels, while rice straw from cultivation is turned into insulation. The team also experiments with local resources: in nearby salt pans, salt crystallises on metal racks to form tiles, while algae are used to make lamps, vases, and wall finishes. Architecture made from rubble, clad in salt, rice, and seaweed – a compelling vision of the future. Perhaps the most promising path lies in combining these diverse strategies.

No. 652 of ''a+u'' showcases 25 projects by Renzo Piano Building Workshop from 2010–2025, revealing how RPBW’s Genoa and Paris offices adapt to diverse urban contexts. Whether working in historic cities like London and Istanbul or creating new landmarks, RPBW emphasizes human experience through structural lightness and environmental integration. The solarpunk spirit that has distinguished RPBW over the years comes through in humanist projects like Uganda's Children's Surgical Hospital, combining rammed-earth construction with solar technology. Monumental institutions such as the cliff-like Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center in Athens demonstrate an analytical approach to site-specific challenges.

Spanning six Nordic countries, the nineteen projects featured in this issue explore diverse pursuits, from the rehabilitation of industrial ports into lively urban centres, to questions of accessibility and the extension of habitable space onto and into bodies of water. Examples such as Lonna Sauna in Helsinki by OOPEAA and Bademaschinen in Oslo by ACT! and Borhaven Arkitekter continue the region’s historical wellness practices, while urban-scale developments like Copenhagen’s Nordhavn by Cobe tackle the challenge of designing for a future marked by climate change.
