Summary:
From follies in parks to hosting events in prestigious locations and buildings, pavilions offer a great opportunity for architects to reflect upon the notion of space, visitor experience, and the role of the architectural components in the project as a whole. A selection of projects explores the relationships between pavilions and their contexts, and illustrates how the typology is evolving, becoming more dynamic, flexible, and lighter. Included are the Naoshima Port Terminal by SANAA, Kéré Architecture’s 2017 Serpentine Pavilion, and the Mpavilion 2017 by OMA. Additionally, this edition looks at special projects that reflect the blurring of boundaries between working and living in the digital era.

Summary:
Parametricism is an avant-garde architecture and design movement that has been growing and maturing over the last 15 years, emerging as a remarkable global force. The tendency started in architecture but now encompasses all design disciplines, from urban design to fashion. In architecture, the style has an international following and is currently progressing beyond its experimental roots to make an impact on a broader scale, with practices like Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) winning and completing large-scale architectural projects worldwide. Parametricism implies that all elements and aspects of an architectural composition or product are parametrically malleable; and the style owes its original, unmistakable physiognomy to its unprecedented use of computational design tools and fabrication methods. All design parameters are conceived as variables that allow the design to vary and adapt to the diverse, complex and dynamic requirements of contemporary society. Although Parametricism has been talked about and hotly debated for a number of years, so far there has been no publication dedicated to Parametricism. The issue is guest-edited by Patrik Schumacher, partner at ZHA, and one of the world’s most highly renowned advocates of Parametricism.

Summary:
The issue with the client is that the reasons why clients should pay for architecture (i.e., the reasons why rich or powerful individuals could become clients) seem to be disappearing. In fact, architecture corresponds to a singular mixture of exhibitionism and shame that leads people to try to acquire public renown (and at the same time erase the memory of how they used to make money) by contributing to the construction of the spaces of public life. And while there is no shortage of exhibitionism nowadays...

Summary:
Une certaine normalité, caractérisée par l’économie des moyens, la simplicité des formes et l’exaltation du quotidien, est-elle en train de prendre le pas sur la période extrême qui vient de s’écouler, où nouveauté et inédit ont été convoqués et mis en exergue de manière récurrente? Telle est la question soulevée par l’ensemble des contributions de ce douzième numéro de matières. Dans les différentes investigations, la « normalité » n’est pas uniquement appréhendée sous l’angle restrictif et normatif, auquel elle est généralement associée. Elle suscite ici des réflexions plus larges menant ainsi le lecteur dans un voyage hétéroclite autour de cette notion ambiguë sujette à de multiples interprétations. Si les divers essais publiés dans ce cahier n’apportent pas la preuve tangible d’un réel «retour à la normalité», ceux-ci confirment cependant l’importance et l’actualité de ce thème, non seulement dans le champ architectural mais aussi dans d’autres domaines artistiques.
