This issue of a+u magazine features the work of Sancho-Madridejos Architecture Office (S-MAO). An ensemble of 20 projects, framed according to two investigative themes, are featured in this monograph, supported by axonometric diagrams and concept models. An essay by the founders’ close friends, Antón García-Abril and Débora Mesa, reveals the deeper origins to S-MAO’s approach and describes how their trials and investigations have yielded 'new processes in engineering, new construction systems, and a new language'. Based in Madrid and established in 1982, the office has developed a nuanced and committed practice, rooted in investigations in plastic arts and aesthetic theory.

Summary:
In many countries of Southeast Asia, the middle years of the 20th century marked the dawn of a new era. Independence had been won from colonial powers, and young states such as Burma (Myanmar), Indonesia, Cambodia and Singapore were faced with the task of reconstituting themselves as nations and developing an independent postcolonial identity. Architecture and urban planning played an important role in this process. Local manifestations of modernism emerged that sought to reconcile universal aspirations with specific social conditions. This volume critically examines this architectural and ideological heritage and argues for the preservation and redevelopment of these particular architectures, which are at risk of disappearing amid the rapid urbanization of today.

Summary:
‘GRAM’ is a multiple research tool that combines graphic investigations with architectural explorations, where the publication is just a pretence and only the process matters. Its second edition portrays the methods and processes of six different practices – homu, Office U67, GAFPA, Ted’A, Gartnerfuglen, Motoproprio – through a series of emails. Each architecture office was asked to send a picture and a short description of its background, working process, philosophy, and so on. The narrative that resulted became the material for this publication. Its outcomes are both theoretical and practical, and open the doors to the endless thought processes behind the production of space.
