Summary:
The United Kingdom has sixteen nuclear power stations. Most go under the radar, but their presence is enormous, both physically and culturally. They divide opinion like nothing else. Are they relics of a past era, or a crucial part of our futures? Are they cathedrals of science or temples of doom? ''Atomic Albion'' is a journey around Britain's nuclear power stations and(...)

Summary:
The United Kingdom has sixteen nuclear power stations. Most go under the radar, but their presence is enormous, both physically and culturally. They divide opinion like nothing else. Are they relics of a past era, or a crucial part of our futures? Are they cathedrals of science or temples of doom? ''Atomic Albion'' is a journey around Britain's nuclear power stations and the country itself. From the Essex marshes to the Anglesey coast, from the Dungeness shingle to the far north of Scotland, Tom Bolton explores how nuclear sites shape the places around them, and enters the impossible world of nuclear power and weapons.

Summary:
"Welcome to Issue #3 of Sociotype Journal, the type specimen for designers who like to read. Our theme this time is Home. What makes a home? Or a home away from home? And how does power (or a lack of it) change the concept and the reality of what ‘home’ means? Join us for a top-down and bottom-up tour of domesticity, from geometrically pristine masterplanned utopias, to an altogether more DIY approach: unplanned and off-grid, into the margins, into ruin, and into hiding in plain sight. We’ll look at Potemkin villages and replica cities, McMansions and sham castles, cube farms and hot desks; spite fences, coffin homes, hippie communes, suburban malls, Cold War-era radar stations and more."

À la fin de la première guerre mondiale, le gouvernement français a planifié la construction d’un «double» de Paris, une fausse ville destinée à leurrer d’éventuels pilotes allemands en route pour bombarder la capitale.

Summary:
À la fin de la première guerre mondiale, le gouvernement français a planifié la construction d’un «double» de Paris, une fausse ville destinée à leurrer d’éventuels pilotes allemands en route pour bombarder la capitale. La fausse ville, dont la construction était prévue près de Maisons-Laffitte, au nord-ouest de la capitale, reproduisait certains éléments marquants du paysage parisien : un bras de Seine, la place de l’Étoile et celle de l’Opéra, les grands boulevards. Certaines cibles que les aviateurs auraient cherché à repérer, comme les gares, devaient également être reproduites. Conçu à une époque où les aviateurs naviguaient sans radar et pouvaient être trompés, de nuit, par de fausse illuminations, ce projet n’a pas fait la preuve de son efficacité.

Summary:
The Distant Early Warning Line, also known as the DEW Line, was a system of radar stations in the northern Arctic region of Canada, with additional stations along the north coast and Aleutian Islands of Alaska and the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Iceland. It intended to detect incoming bombers of the Soviet Union during the Cold War and provide early warning of any sea and land invasion. Today, the Arctic is seen as a place primed for data storage and vaults––doomsday structures with a utilitarian vernacular of architecture, protecting the "knowledge" of places further south rather than recognizing the local presence and expertise of place and Indigenous lifeways and Indigenous science. This book looks at the role of artists as early warning systems and explores the ways we connect and disconnect place and people through technology and the ideas of boundaries.
