Summary:
Ce numéro d’A+ présente une série intrigante de constructions circulaires imaginées et réalisées. Constituer ce genre de collection nous permet de mieux comprendre l’architecture des bâtiments ronds. C’est ainsi qu’on voit des bibliothèques, des écoles, des établissements de soins et de bien-être revenir au cercle parce qu’il offre une bonne vue d’ensemble, mais aussi parce qu’il crée du lien et de la cohésion. Dans ce sens, leur plan d’implantation fait clairement référence à la symbolique du cercle. Voici ce qu’en dit Pieter T’Jonck (p. 32) : « Les cercles sont des formes purement géométriques qui se prêtent à de nombreuses finalités et interprétations. Ils installent de la cohérence là où le chaos aurait pu sévir. »

Comment peut-on encore oser construire des maisons individuelles ? Si la tendance est à fustiger le « pavillon », c’est que l’architecte, bien souvent, n’y prend pas part. Même en Belgique, laboratoire européen des architectures domestiques, la « maison 4 façades » a perdu du terrain, laissant plutôt fleurir les projets d’habitat intergénérationnel et de cohabitat ; la(...)

Summary:
Comment peut-on encore oser construire des maisons individuelles ? Si la tendance est à fustiger le « pavillon », c’est que l’architecte, bien souvent, n’y prend pas part. Même en Belgique, laboratoire européen des architectures domestiques, la « maison 4 façades » a perdu du terrain, laissant plutôt fleurir les projets d’habitat intergénérationnel et de cohabitat ; la réception enthousiaste qui leur est accordée n’a d’égale que leur manifeste qualité de conception. Christophe Millet, président du Conseil national de l’Ordre des architectes, prône quant à lui l’idée d’une architecture de la « dentelle », se manifestant tantôt par l’investissement du foncier urbain disponible, tantôt par la réhabilitation de l’existant – « le chantier du siècle ». La maison est morte, vive la maison ? C’est là que l’architecte intervient.

Summary:
AV Proyectos 127 explores earthen construction, a technique recovered in projects like those of Boltshauser Architekten, Studio Mumbai, Assemble or Peris+Toral, among other studios included in this dossier that shows how tradition and innovation can intertwine to explore different types, scales, and ways of dwelling. This approach is broadened with the perspectives of architect Anna Heringer and rammed earth expert Martin Rauch, discussed during a conversation on the capacity of this material to generate spaces with a huge social impact and respect for the environment. Furthermore, the Barcelona-based studio TAKK works on new forms of domesticity to address the different natural and seasonal rhythms from an economy of means.

Summary:
Around 75 % of residential buildings in Germany are made of masonry – a trend likely mirrored across Europe, such as in the southern regions and the UK. This enduring preference reflects growing confidence in solid construction and provides the impetus for dedicating this issue of Detail to the topic. There are many reasons to opt for brick, including local building traditions. In Limerick, Ireland, Níall McLaughlin Architects designed a brick exhibition building celebrating rugby, the national sport. In Berlin, nearby brick cemetery structures inspired the facade colour of a foundation centre. Using single-coloured exposed concrete and two brick types, AFF Architekten made a bold red statement in the cityscape.

Summary:
This fifth issue of the e-flux Index, comprises nine new categories for sorting it all out. These are titled: Is That All There Is?; What a Body Can Do; The Physicists’ Laugh; Dens, clubs, hives, and cells; The Tourist; Flickers; Promethean Shame; Proxies; and Inextinguishable Fires. In the exploratory spirit of Bas Jan Ader’s Primary Time (1974) or Susan Hiller’s remarks on the forbidden childhood pleasures of taxonomizing, more than that of Linnaeus, each of these categories represents an attempt at daisy cutting samples from the dynamic, complex meadow of discourse across the arts, architecture, education, theory, and politics. This deviant taxonomy is not designed to reduce or abstract away from the complexity of critical discourse and artistic activity in the present moment, but rather to do justice to this very heterogeneity.

Log 63: winter/spring 2025

Summary:
In Log 63, poet Emily Stewart walks around Graz and thinks of "Doreen Massey’s notion of 'throwntogetherness,' a term she uses to gather the multifarious threads of what it means to think speculatively in space and time." In a sense, this open issue of Log is an example of that throwntogetherness, with threads connecting ideas and voices, across time and space, on a range(...)

Summary:
Cleanliness is an obsession; dirt is a fascination. Disgust is embedded in personal and cultural systems to help us discern and navigate what could endanger our integrity as a body or society. Yet revulsion to dirtiness is more than a protective mechanism. Introducing uncleanliness in design can be revolutionary or revelatory. As architects-to-be, we are aware that our practice and its history is inherently unclean. We have disowned our masters, disavowed our teachers, distanced ourselves from our rites. But becoming too aware of all the filth produced by the profession can tempt us to impose sanitary barriers and refuse to get our hands dirty.
