Summary:
Visionary and magical, the oeuvre of MVRDV is a collection of works, projects, and publications that amaze with their abundance and diversity. Since the studio was set up in 1993, Winy Maas, Jacob van Rijs, and Nathalie de Vries have shown a dazzling creativity that has placed them in the Dutch avant-garde of 21st century. AV Monographs devotes a double issue to their career with a selection of 30 works grouped into six chapters describing the most characteristic themes in their architecture: ‘Compact Puzzles’ (density), ‘Illusory Walls’ (form and skins), ‘Colorful Worlds’ (use of color), ‘Leisure Land’ (entertainment), ‘Green Fantasies’ (ecology and sustainability), and ‘Visionary Cities’ (analysis and utopias).

ARCH+ : Release architecture
$39.95
(available in store)
Summary:
An architecture biennale can be more than a place to simply represent and celebrate the status quo in architectural production. Exhibitions are increasingly becoming a place for researching and producing an experimental and critical architectural practice: a place not for the presentation of finished products, but for the production of content. This calls into question(...)

Summary:
An architecture biennale can be more than a place to simply represent and celebrate the status quo in architectural production. Exhibitions are increasingly becoming a place for researching and producing an experimental and critical architectural practice: a place not for the presentation of finished products, but for the production of content. This calls into question the supposed boundary between architecture and exhibition. Inquiry becomes a form of display. Christian Kerez’s Incidental Space, exhibited in the Swiss Pavilion at the 2016 Architecture Biennale in Venice, attempts to inquire into the outer limits of what can be achieved in architecture today—in terms of both technical feasibility and the limits of our own imagination. How can you use the medium of architecture to contemplate an architectural space that is entirely abstract and as complex as possible? How could this kind of imaginary space even be visualized, and how could it be produced? Conceived in close collaboration with Sandra Oehy, the curator of the Swiss Pavilion, and Christian Kerez, the Swiss Pavilion architect, this issue of ARCH+ delves into the questions posed by Kerez’s “speculative space.” Contributors like Philip Ursprung, Mario Carpo, Armen Avanessian, and Timothy Morton consider how the object stands in relation to the subject in a world where the capacity for technological and digital reproduction increasingly renders the distinction between depiction and reality moot. Where is the space for architectural autonomy in this? How can we “Release Architecture”? A report from architecture’s speculative front.

Summary:
This eighth issue of The Funambulist Magazine, dedicated to the police, can be read in continuity with Issue 04 (March-April 2016), which was focused on carceral environments. Its axiomatic editorial line is resolutely the same: just as there cannot be “better prisons,” there cannot be “better police,” at least not within the logics through which they are currently operating in a majority of the world’s societies. In this regard, the numerous murders of Native and Black bodies by the United States police, the violence of the Apartheid police in Jerusalem against Palestinians, the murderous operations of the Brazilian military police in the favelas, or the legalized abuse of power by the French and Turkish police during ongoing states of emergency; not as “police brutality” that would require reforms but, rather, as the very essence of policing itself, which calls for abolition.

Devoted to Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa (SANAA), the dossier of AV Proyectos covers the latest international projects by the Tokyo-based studio.

The competitions section features the projects shortlisted in the call to design the new MALI (Museo de Arte de Lima), won by the Spanish team Burgos & Garrido with the local firm Llama Urban Design.
