Summary:
In "The Aquarium is a Listening Glass", nine short, non-linear stories—set amid scientific archives, underwater research stations, natural history museums, national aquaria and oceanic infrastructure—evoke the glass as a listening device to present singular relationships between humans and fish that would otherwise go unheard. In this paradigm shift, design plays a fundamental role in conceiving the object (and the book) as a sensory device to glimpse new forms of mediation, to generate alliances, and also to promote the potential for a thriving and vital world.

Summary:
This book shows how night redefines the framework of thought and action in the realm of the imaginary, of territorial planning and of the practice of landscape, the aim being to arrive at a contemporary urbanism based on perceptual experience. The book is structured in three parts: the first covers the originality and value of the experience of the nocturnal landscape for thought and creativity, the second defines infrastructure as the nocturnal landscape’s real scale and strategy, while the third illustrates examples of nocturnal contemporary architecture and landscape.

Summary:
Rotterdam's history has left it particularly marked by movement and transit. Construction of a modern transport infrastructure began before 1940, and continued with renewed vigour during and after the postwar reconstruction. The cityscape is defined by waterways, bridges, streets, arterial canals, avenues and a rhomboid motorway system. The city serves as a good case study and illustration of the relationship between mobility and urban development. This book uses word and image to examine the social significance of mobility. The authors draw on Rotterdam examples to illustrate the link between mobility and urban development.

Summary:
Since 2004, Manuel Cervantes Estudio has approached architecture as a dialogue with territory, culture, and time. Driven by exploration, the studio develops processes rooted in research, observation, and the distillation of local conditions – climate, materials, craft, and everyday life – into clear and essential forms. Ranging from social housing to pavilions and infrastructure, its projects balance innovation with restraint, seeking synthesis through structural clarity and environmental responsibility. Founded by Manuel Cervantes Céspedes, the practice bridges design, research, and teaching, and is recognised as a leading voice in contemporary Mexican architecture.

Summary:
In issue 005 of Digital Frontier, meet the Outlier people, projects and ideas reimaging what our future will look like. The founders of New Computer are attempting to code a computerised soul; Kenyan builders leapfrog ahead using DIYed infrastructure; and multi-hyphenate creatives Danielle Baskin and Damjanski are turning random thoughts into engaging experiences. We also explore a DeepMind researcher’s suggestion that AI needs a body to attain superintelligence and dive into the weird world of virtual fantasy via Berlin’s Cybrothel. We hope the youthful optimism of everyone featured is contagious.

Summary:
Based entirely on the work of Armin Linke, Accattone #5 explores photography in relation to the major architecture of public and private institutions: the infrastructure of the Roman Empire, neoclassical Athens, the United Nations headquarters, neo-liberal corporate environments and the fragile European institutions in Brussels. Monuments are carefully crafted to convey determined sets of aesthetic codes and political values, incorporated in a purportedly eternal and total character. Photography can challenge the power of such representations by bringing out their inherent glitches, small cracks and everyday ambiguities. It can reprogramme architecture.
