Summary:
At a time marked by the climate crisis and violent conflicts, an increasing number of architects are turning to impermanence and adaptability to show an alternate path to tackle the fragility and scarcity affecting our planet. Counter to the neoliberal appetite for abundance and the delirium of indefinite growth, this issue explores the relationship between nature and economy. It examines the social construction of scarcity, finding in certain communities signs of resilience and adaptative intelligence. Case studies in Thailand, India, Iran, Rwanda, Niger, Colombia, and Ecuador serve to illuminate this new path. Also in this issue, an interview with Mexican architect Fernanda Canales.

Summary:

Since they set up their studio in 2006 – a time marked by the impact of the financial crisis – Arquitectura-G has completed a considerable number of projects while continuing their research and dissemination work in the field.

All this is accompanied by a foreword signed by Harquitectes, who propose an impressionistic analysis of their work; and an epilogue written by the architects themselves, in which they unravel the office’s internal work process.
