Ant Farm manifesto No. 853 bears the title 'Allegorical Time Warp': '... AMERICA, IN AN ALLEGORICAL TIME WARP / USING PRE ELECTRONIC, PRINT AGE TECHNIQUES / WELCOMES RETURNING SPACE HEROES / TICKER TAPE PARADE DOWN FIFTH AVENUE. / ALL I WANT TO DO IS EXPAND MY MIND ...' This book brings together two books bound within a single cover: 'Ant Farm Timeline' and 'Allegorical Time Warp: The Media Fallout of July 21, 1969'. In addition, the publication includes a small dossier of archival material related to Ant Farm's Truckstop Network project (1970-72). Introduced by Chip Lord, the timeline tells the story of Ant Farm's multifaceted experimental work over 114 pages, in as many full page illustrations of original material. The 'Allegorical Time Warp' by Felicity D. Scott, focused on the period from 1969 to 1972, tracks the transformations of an architectural project articulated simultaneously in open-ended media systems and closed life-support systems. The work of Ant Farm has been an archetype for a younger generation of artist's collectives. This publication offers to be the long awaited source for the material that surviced the fire of the collective's studio in august 1978.

Summary:
Drawing is a form of research, a means to investigate, explore and gain a better understanding of an idea, a condition or a phenomenon. Drawing is a practice of representation, one that inquires, explores materiality, and establishes its own time and dialogue. This book brings together 23 authors who represent 18 critical and reflexive practices of drawing in design. The assembled texts engage drawing aesthetics (spatial, temporal, and material) and drawing ethics (investigating and making sense together) as well as four overarching themes: inquiry, time, dialogue and materiality —in drawing. Taken as a collective conversation on drawing practice, this book offers a shared reflection on the agency of drawing, on its potential to explore issues raised by our built and cultural environment, and on the ability of drawing to support and contribute to design research. It farmes drawing as a research practice, one that is both deeply rooted in its disciplinary context and openly challenging its limits and conventions. "—in drawing" adds to a continuing conversation on design research methods and the ethics and aesthetics of representation. It seeks to further establish the significance of drawing as a legitimate mode of inquiry across design disciplines and beyond.

La publication révèle les prémisses de Devenir-hêtre en insistant sur les fondements de la démarche interdisciplinaire d’Ælab. Dans le premier texte, Monique Régimbald-Zeiber et Denise Pérusse abordent l’histoire récente de la recherche-création au Québec. Elles défendent l’importance de la rencontre entre les arts et les sciences pour créer de nouveaux rapports au monde en transformation qu’est le nôtre. Le potentiel du rapprochement qu’elles prônent se trouve illustré de manière concrète dans le texte de l’ingénieur forestier Christoforos Pappas. Il y relate les défis, mais également la richesse de sa collaboration avec MÉDIANE entre 2020 et 2022, notamment en regard de la conscientisation du public aux enjeux climatiques actuels. Enfin, le texte de l’architecte Juliette Pernin se penche sur le support matériel qui permet de présenter les résultats de ces enquêtes informées de savoirs multiples, la structure d’échafaudages. Elle souligne comment cette « limite épaisse » temporaire, qui évoque le monde de la construction et du théâtre, accentue la perception de l’environnement.

Summary:
Providing hard data for trends that many perceive only vaguely and some deny altogether, "Designing for diversity" reveals a profession rife with gender and racial discrimination and examines the aspects of architectural practice that hinder or support the full participation of women and persons of color. Drawing on interviews and surveys of hundreds of architects, Kathryn H. Anthony outlines some of the forms of discrimination that recur in architecture, such as being confined to certain kinds of positions, typically interior design for women, government work for African Americans, and computer-aided design for Asian-American architects. Anthony discusses the profession's attitude toward flexible schedules and part-time contracts and identifies strategies that have helped underrepresented individuals advance in the profession. Given the traditional mismatch between diverse consumers and predominantly white male producers of the built environment, plus the shifting population balance toward communities of color, Anthony contends that the architectural profession staves off true diversity at its own peril. Through her book, practicing architects, managers of firms, and educators will learn how to create conditions more welcoming to a diversity of users as well as designers of the built environment.

"Prenant appui sur les politiques institutionnelles, l'auteur montre comment le musée virtuel résulte en fait d'une interprétation du support numérique qui en hypostasie la portée spectaculaire au lieu d'en favoriser l'appréhension documentaire. Le musée virtuel réaliserait ainsi la parfaite concrétisation des objectifs économiques et éducatifs du musée, en parfaite résonnance avec le régime d'industrialisation culturelle qui règle la fréquentation du patrimoine. Mais au-delà, c'est bien du devenir de l'institution muséale dont il est question. Plutôt que de prédire la disparition de l'institution au profit de son avatar virtuel, on choisit d'ancrer ici l'interrogation dans l'histoire des relations qui unissent l'oeuvre d'art et le musée, depuis deux siècles. L'extrême plasticité du musée est mise à jour : ne serait-il pas apte à conserver et légitimer les propositions d'un art numérique aussi délocalisé soit-il? Déjà rôdé à l'absorption d'oeuvres reproductibles, de traces ou d'intentions, le musée d'art contemporain déjoue perpétuellement sa fin prévisible. Cette fois-ci la métamorphose le porte du côté de la médiathèque. Le devenir du musée se nourrit d'une perception essentiellement documentaire du patrimoine artistique. Incorporé aux industries de la mémoire, le musée nous projette désormais dans un passé actualisé et un présent pérenne."

Summary:
Highly visual and containing contributions from leading names in landscape, architecture and design, this volume provides a rare insight into people’s engagement with the outdoor environment; looking at the ways in which the design of spaces and places meets people’s needs and desires in the twenty-first century. Embracing issues of social inclusion, recreation, and environmental quality, the editors explore innovative ways to develop an understanding of how the landscape, urban or rural, can contribute to health and quality of life. Open Space: People Space examines the nature and value of people’s access to outdoor environments. Led by Edinburgh’s OPENspace research centre, the debate focuses on current research to support good design for open space and brings expertise from a range of disciplines to look at: - an analysis of policy and planning issues and challenges - understanding the nature and experience of exclusion - the development of evidence-based inclusive design -innovative research approaches which focus on people’s access to open space and the implications of that experience. Invaluable to policy makers, researchers, urban designers, landscape architects, planners, managers and students, it is also essential reading for those working in child development, health care and community development.

Summary:
In 2014, Xu Tiantian, founder of Beijing-based studio Design and Architecture (DnA) began to work in Songyang County, in China's Zhejiang Province. Her exemplary holistic planning concept of Architectural Acupuncture, which has gained the support of local administrative and political leadership, aims at revitalising rural areas and comprises the renovation of production plants and of tourist and technical infrastructure as well as the creation of venues for culture and education and of social housing. Each of Xu's small-scale interventions at local level is unique, only the small budget is common to all of them. Moreover, they are all inter-related with each other and in their entirety serve the broader goal of mutual enhancement. This book introduces Xu's concept of Architectural Acupuncture and discusses the influence of architecture on cultural self-understanding and economic renewal in 21st-century rural China. It features some 20 new buildings and conversions of existing structures with diverse functions. Published alongside are essays by international economists, sociologists, and curators as well as by the secretary of the Songyang County Party Committee, examining the social, political, and economic implications of sustainable planning and collective action in the Chinese province.

Summary:
From the late nineteenth through most of the twentieth century, the evangelical Protestant Grenfell Mission in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, created a network of hospitals, schools, orphanages, stores, and industries with the goal of bringing health and organized society to settler fisherfolk and Indigenous populations. This infrastructure also served to support resource extraction of fisheries off Labrador's coast. In 'Slow Disturbance' Rafico Ruiz engages with the Grenfell Mission to theorize how settler colonialism establishes itself through what he calls infrastructural mediation—the ways in which colonial lifeworlds, subjectivities, and affects come into being through the creation and maintenance of infrastructures. Drawing on archival documents, maps, interviews with municipal officials, teachers, and residents, as well as his field photography, Ruiz shows how the mission's infrastructural mediation—from its attempts to restructure the local economy to the aerial surveying and mapping of the coastline—responded to the colony's environmental conditions in ways that expanded the bounds of the settler frontier. By tracing the mission's history and the mechanisms that enabled its functioning, Ruiz complicates understandings of mediation and infrastructure while expanding current debates surrounding settler colonialism and extractive capitalism.

Summary:
To commemorate the official opening of the Inuit Art Centre, now named Qaumajuq, Winnipeg Art Gallery director and CEO, Dr. Stephen Borys, set out to share the story of this extraordinary museum and building project. His book, Journey North: The Inuit Art Centre Project, traces the history of the centre beginning with the establishment of the Winnipeg Art Gallery in 1912, when the foundation was laid to support a diverse and far-reaching mission that could embrace both historical and contemporary artmaking on national and international levels. By the time director Dr. Ferdinand Eckhardt arrived at the gallery in 1953, and discovered Inuit stone carving at the Hudson’s Bay Company department store located across the street from the WAG, the idea of assembling a collection to celebrate this Indigenous art form moved closer to reality. This account of the development of the Inuit Art Centre includes different historical and contemporary perspectives and voices through a compilation of texts and images. In addition to the key essay by the book’s author Stephen Borys, several writers from across the country have shared their stories about the gallery, the Inuit art collection, and the building project.

Summary:
Inspired by the rise of environmental psychology and increasing support for behavioral research after the Second World War, new initiatives at the federal, state, and local levels looked to influence the human psyche through form, or elicit desired behaviors with environmental incentives, implementing what Joy Knoblauch calls 'psychological functionalism.' Recruited by federal construction and research programs for institutional reform and expansion — which included hospitals, mental health centers, prisons, and public housing—architects theorized new ways to control behavior and make it more functional by exercising soft power, or power through persuasion, with their designs. In the 1960s – 1970s era of anti-institutional sentiment, they hoped to offer an enlightened, palatable, more humane solution to larger social problems related to health, mental health, justice, and security of the population by applying psychological expertise to institutional design. In turn, Knoblauch argues, architects gained new roles as researchers, organizers, and writers while theories of confinement, territory, and surveillance proliferated. 'The Architecture of Good Behavior' explores psychological functionalism as a political tool and the architectural projects funded by a postwar nation in its efforts to govern, exert control over, and ultimately pacify its patients, prisoners, and residents.
