The history of climate change and the history of architecture are connected in many ways. Through a multilayered chronology, "It’s About Time" showcases historical and contemporary building projects such as solar houses, autonomous structures and earth buildings, alongside more than 45 key moments in environmental justice history: among them the first Earth Day, the United Nations conference in Stockholm, the Chernobyl disaster, the Paris Climate Agreements and the European Green Deal. It explores architectural experimentation in the past, depicts the present moment of transition and offers hopeful glimpses of the future. Serving as both a reference and a source of inspiration, this publication is intended for architects, educators, students, scientists or anyone looking to play their part in shaping a more sustainable world. It emphasizes that while the time for change has now arrived, the field of architecture can play a key role in the transitions ahead.

Summary:
The construction industry is keen to give nature a bigger role in area development, but the road from ambition to realization and management is a challenging one. This book identifies key challenges encountered during the various phases of the planning process and highlights possible solutions drawn from practice. In ''Nature-inclusive Urban Development'' the authors look back to the very first European eco-districts from the final decade of the twentieth century and examine what the concept has delivered for residents and nature. They also assess the effectiveness of several pioneering international points systems in Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Malmö, Stockholm, and The Hague, among other cities. The book explores the operation and benefits of these points systems, and provides valuable solutions gleaned from interviews with practitioners in key positions. As such, nature-inclusive urban development offers practical pathways for overcoming governance challenges and fostering innovation for making cities biodiverse.

Mais qu'est-ce qu'une ville de design ? Et comment le devient-on ? Si Anvers, Glasgow, Lisbonne, Montréal, Saint-Etienne, Stockholm et Times Square New York ont réussi à se positionner comme " nouvelles villes de design ", c'est qu'elles ont élaboré et mis en place des politiques et programmes favorisant la qualité en design sur leur territoire. Construit autour d'études de cas, cet ouvrage analyse les actions et événements à l'origine de l'émergence de ces sept villes en tant que ville de design. Appuyé sur les réflexions de François Barré, Saskia Sassen et John Thackara, il réunit également les points de vue d'élus, de designers réputés, ou appartenant à la relève, et de citoyens engagés.

Summary:
Gert Wingårdh is one of Sweden’s leading architects. His clever and imaginative spatial creations are remarkable in economic as well as ecological and sociological terms. The focus of his designs is always on the needs of the future users. This monograph analyzes the principal aspects of his work in seminal essays by renowned architecture critics and uses text and images to document all the important buildings of his thirty-year career. Editor Mikael Nanfeldt is curator of the Röhss Museum of Design and Applied Arts in Göteborg, the opening venue for a large exhibition of Wingårdh’s work that then moves on to the Swedish Museum of Architecture in Stockholm before going on to tour internationally. Wingårdh’s most remarkable projects include prizewinning laboratory buildings in Sweden and the United States, the Swedish embassies in Berlin and Washington, numerous villas, and the recently opened visitor center Waren in Deutschland (Products in Germany).

Après celles qu'il donna à Buenos Aires en 1929, ce livre est le deuxième recueil de conférences de l'architecte. Et, comme ce fut le cas à Alger, Moscou, Bruxelles, Athènes, Paris, Stockholm, Rome, Buenos Aires, São Paulo ou Montevideo, ces propos jouèrent un rôle central dans la propagation de ses idées sur l'architecture et l'urbanisme. L'importance de ce recueil tient au fait qu'il permet de mesurer le chemin parcouru par Le Corbusier entre 1929 et 1936. A travers les propos transcrits, la reproduction des dessins et des projections, on peut non seulement suivre la manière dont Le Corbusier transmettait son message, mais aussi reconstituer le temps et le rythme des conférences : les commentaires qu'il improvisait en restituent l'ambiance et les moments d'intensité.

The years around 1700 were marked by transformations in European and colonial capital cities. This era saw the creation not only of palatial complexes and urban spaces appropriate to autocratic power, but also of essential infrastructure such as roads, ports, and fortifications.

Summary:
The years around 1700 were marked by transformations in European and colonial capital cities. This era saw the creation not only of palatial complexes and urban spaces appropriate to autocratic power, but also of essential infrastructure such as roads, ports, and fortifications. In addition, many of the civic structures and background buildings that form the familiar urban images of the eighteenth century date from this period. In all of this activity, architects and architectural ideas, formed mostly in Italy and influenced by the baroque architecture of Rome, especially the late works of Francesco Borromini and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, played a central role. Twelve contributors provide a comprehensive look at the design, renewal, and expansion of capitals and countries including Naples, Rome, Vienna, Stockholm, Saint Petersburg, England, Amsterdam, Cádiz, Lisbon, Quebec City, and Lima. The result is a fascinating cross section that allows a comparative reading of baroque architecture: from country to country, from region to region, and from the Old World to the New.

Summary:
This publication unfolds an inside view of the installation by Elizabeth Hatz at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. It shows how the installation has been made using 133 pigmented prints of original drawings from Drawing Matter in Somerset, ArkDes in Stockholm, the architects' private archives and a large hand drawing by Hatz on a specially designed table-bench. The fold-out cover illustrates the room's four walls, each of which organise four concept-sets relating to the Biennale theme of Freespace: Ground–Floor, Temple–Shed, Niche–Stoa and Mind–Space. The full-sized colour plates inside show in more detail the collage of drawings on each wall, illustrating how the printing process allowed Hatz to orchestrate the size as well as position of each drawing within these exploratory fields. Hatz's accompanying essay invokes the spatial experience created by the room-drawings and the rich conversations they capture.

Summary:
This exhibition catalog explores the remarkable theatrical designs of Italy’s influential Bibiena family in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. For nearly a century, members of three generations of the Bibiena family were the most highly sought theater designers in Europe. Their elaborate stage designs were used for operas, festivals, and courtly performances across Europe, from their native Italy to cities as far afield as Vienna, Prague, Stockholm, St. Petersburg, and Lisbon. Beyond these performances, the distinctive Bibiena style survives through their remarkable drawings. "Architecture, theater, and fantasy" commemorates a group of Bibiena drawings from the collection of Jules Fisher, the Tony Award–winning lighting designer, gifted to the Morgan Library and Museum in New York. Accompanying the first US exhibition of these works in more than thirty years, these drawings demonstrate the range of the Bibienas’ output, from energetic sketches to detailed watercolors. Representations of imagined palace interiors and lavish illusionistic architecture illuminate the visual splendor of the Baroque period.

He opposed Finland's WW2 era fighting alongside Nazi Germany against the Soviet Union, edited illegal journals, but also planned armed resistance and facilitated correspondence between the party's leadership in Helsinki and the Soviet embassy in Stockholm. Just a couple of weeks before his execution, Laiho wrote a remarkable essay "Katso Koota" [Look at K], using only words starting with the letter K. "Katso Koota" is an early example of Finnish modern alliterative writing, a lipogram, a literary technique in which every word must start with the same letter. Laiho's "Katso Koota" predates the French Oulipo ("workshop of potential literature") of the 1960s. Considering that he produced his "constrained writing" under conditions of extreme political and cultural confinement, it can be considered a true form of avant-garde subversion.
