Summary:
This issue highlights the work of adama-faiden, founded in Buenos Aires in 2005 by Sebastián Adamo and Marcelo Faiden. Nearly two decades of work is traced through 34 projects in chronological order. From small residential projects in their early years, the studio has transitioned into an increasingly diverse practice, including a high-rise in central Buenos Aires and social housing in Europe. Regardless of scale, what remains consistent in their work is a considered approach to urban environments and a sensitivity to airflow. Their designs often feature permeable facades and cohabitating plants, creating a soft, fluid connection between interior and exterior.

Summary:
This issue looks at continuity, disruption, and evolution in the works of Christ & Gantebein. For this Basel-based firm, founded in 1998 and headed by Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein, constraints in site and programme are welcome opportunities to create spatial surprises. Whether through experimentations in the museum typology, such as the extension of the Swiss National Museum, or domestic architecture, as evidenced by Vaugirard Social Housing, their approach goes beyond recreating basic functions to provide sensitive solutions in terms of urban repair and contemporary spatial issues. Besides recent projects, the issue contains a conversation with the architects.

Summary:
Founders of the Congress for the New Urbanism, Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk are at the forefront of this movement, and in Suburban Nation they assess sprawl's costs to society, be they ecological, economic, aesthetic, or social. It is a lively, thorough, critical lament, and an entertaining lesson on the distinctions between postwar suburbia-characterized by housing clusters, strip malls, office parks, and parking lots-and the traditional neighborhoods that were built as a matter of course until mid-century. It is an indictment of the entire development community, including governments, for the fact that America no longer builds towns.
