Summary:
How can architecture deliver on its promises when budgets are tight, tasks are pressing, and resources are limited? A new generation is rethinking the act of building: pragmatic, yet far from simplistic. By concentrating on what truly matters, they achieve unexpectedly inventive outcomes even under austere conditions. Standards, regulations, and established norms can sometimes stand in the way of intelligent ideas – but they can also set them in motion. Building simply remains a complex field. In this issue, we hear from architects who have embraced the discipline of doing more with less.

Summary:
Les prophéties artistiques ouvrent des perspectives inédites et des brèches dans le temps pour faire tomber les évidences et interroger l’ordre des choses. Les artistes ont ainsi troqué les grandes utopies pour des visions fragmentaires, situées et sensibles. La conscience d’un futur qui se devine et se façonne dans le présent se révèle dans leur regard inquisiteur et dans les formes expressives de leurs pratiques plastiques et médiatiques. Ils et elles prennent ainsi le relais des oracles, des sibylles, des prophètes ou des chamans, à la fois en phase avec le réel et légèrement décalé·e·s, dans un positionnement qui confère à leurs relectures du monde une acuité particulière. Le dossier Prophéties réfléchit aux langages de l’art pour imaginer et pressentir l’avenir, aux rituels déployés pour réécrire l’histoire et à la notion même de croyance.

This issue focuses on how architectural skills are deployed in entertainment to communicate design and form the backdrops for stories to play out. It includes articles on installations, exhibition designs, entertainment architecture, narrative projects, speculations on future human identities, video gaming, and memorial tombs – an international plethora of staged examples of how architectural thinking can bring vitality to situations not usually perceived to be within the realms of traditional practice. The issue engages with popular culture, fictions, art, performance, technology, and architectural history and theory. Exploring the full spectrum of spatial propositions that architects can bring to staging events, the work featured is theatrical and exuberant, and the product of many collaborative architectural voices including curators, artists, performers, digital intelligences, fabricators, and writers.

Summary:
The first issue of 2026 opens with a tribute to the late Frank Owen Gehry (1929-2025). Larry Wayne Richards looks at how Frank’s legacy intersected with his hometown of Toronto, beyond the AGO and in-construction Forma towers; The editorial parses the news that the Ontario Place Protectors case is heading to the Supreme Court. A coalition is challenging the provincial government’s ability to exempt the waterfront land from environmental and heritage requirements, and to broadly indemnify itself against civil litigation related to the development. This month’s cover story is the redevelopment of Toronto’s Union Station, a 14-year-long project led by NORR Architects & Engineers with heritage architect EVOQ Architecture. Pamela Young examines the comprehensive overhaul, which vastly increases and improves the public realm within Canada’s largest multi-modal transportation hub, equipping it to handle 130 million passengers annually.

Summary:
Like light passing through a prism to reveal its many colors, the myriad expressions of the Earth unfold through the seasons. We’ve long moved with their simple and sacred rhythm; they are the primary gateway through which the human engages with cycles of creation, destruction, and renewal. But today we estrange ourselves from the seasons with technology and human-centric myths, while an unraveling climate causes them to grow increasingly unfamiliar. Reflecting a world where snow no longer arrives, annual migrations fall out of time, yet first blossoms still burst, Seasons, our sixth print edition, moves through three themes: requiem, invitation, and celebration—each a contemplation on the paradoxical ways the seasons now beckon us into intimate relationship. This collection of haiku, essays, short fiction, photography, conversations, and poetry, infused with a spectrum of color and light, listens for the turning song of the seasons—for what vanishes and what remains—attentive to these moments that call us into communion with the Earth.

Summary:
Although there were smart ideas and approaches over 50 years ago that sought to do so much better, ecological building has, to this day, been stuck with the dry image of muesli. Anyone who has ever stood in a house made of timber, earth, or straw knows that architecture means far more than "form follows function." Today, natural building materials are driven less by ideology than by pragmatic choices and a pursuit of longevity. The synthesis of high-tech and "eco" has long been aesthetically convincing too. In this issue, we showcase the beauty and potential of natural stone, hemp bricks, and hempcrete; visit a reconstructed "Strickbau" (traditional timber-log construction) that upends the very definition of "immovable property"; look behind the facades of a 16-storey timber housing block; and examine the timber-earth slabs at Hortus, a key project by Herzog & de Meuron.

Summary:
TURBA is the first journal for the study, theory, and praxis of curatorial strategies in the live arts. The live arts are broadly defined as those arts in which contingent, momentary acts and events, performed by human or other autonomous agents, are crucial to the aesthetic perception and the emergence of meaning in ephemeral time-based work. They include, but are not limited to, dance, music, sound art, theatre, performance art, verbal arts, circus arts, live media arts and inter-arts performance works. With this journal, we aim to create a platform for the exploration of ideas, concepts, constraints, expectations, and contingencies which guide and drive curatorial practices in these fields.
