Summary:
At a moment when the word “design” has come to refer to everything and thus nothing, this issue examines the hidden mechanics and visible output of design practice in order to track the shifting role of designers in society and to gauge the capacity of designers to effect change in a world of mounting crises. The issue’s title, ''Instruments of Service'', carries a double meaning. As defined in standard American Institute of Architects contracts, “Instruments of Service are representations, in any medium of expression now known or later developed, of the tangible and intangible creative work performed by the Architect and the Architect’s consultants under their respective professional services agreements. Instruments of Service may include, without limitation, studies, surveys, models, sketches, drawings, specifications, and other similar materials.” Instruments of service are the instruction manuals that architects—and other designers—make so that others can make something. They define the architect’s relationships with labor, construction, clients, and society. And these relationships—along with the agency of architectural practice—are changing as a growing number of external pressures force instruments of service to change. Architects and designers can also be seen as instruments of service to society, responsible to a continually shifting set of values. At a fundamental level, the designer’s job is to imagine and articulate a better future. In a time of crisis and competing value systems—market returns, cultural relevance, environmental response, social equity, automation—the role of the designer in society is ever more important and increasingly accountable to divergent interests that call into question the raison d’être of design practice itself.

Welcome to the 58th issue of The Funambulist, dedicated to Palestinian Return/Awda/??????. In its original intentions, as defined in the beginning of 2024, this issue was thought to be published long after a ceasefire in Palestine would have been reached. Anticipating a significant decrease in global mobilization for the Palestinian struggle, this issue was meant to contribute to an effort of re-intensifying of this mobilization. In the end, the genocidal siege on Gaza and its echoes in the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria have lasted much longer than any of us could have imagined and this issue was produced in a context of duress and despair for many of its contributors. In our context, this issue attempts to re-open our imaginaries of liberation of Palestine, through essays

Summary:
AV Proyectos 125 dedicates its cover to social heritage, a concept that includes the conversion of industrial buildings into civic spaces. As Ricardo Flores and Eva Prats point out in the article that accompanies the section, such interventions aim to give new life to the traces – material or immaterial –, that are identified after a careful observation of the existing. And in its further analysis of this theme, the magazine conducts an interview with BURR, the young Madrilenian studio that focusses its practice on the reactivation of unused industrial facilities.
