Elle diffuse les principaux représentants du modernisme belge et international (V. Bourgeois, L.H. De Koninck, Le Corbusier…) et entretient des relations privilégiées avec l’architecte italien Alberto Sartoris. Avec la collaboration étroite du poète et critique Georges Linze et conscients de la dimension transversale de l’architecture, les auteurs ouvrent largement leurs colonnes aux expressions diverses de l’art moderne (poésie, sculpture, peinture…). Sensible et pragmatique, la ligne éditoriale soutient le dialogue de toutes les disciplines qui peuvent apporter leur pierre à « une meilleure architecture ». Il est aujourd’hui également attesté que la revue fait partie des revues les plus significatives en Europe durant cette période. Une production critique, la réédition des 115 numéros permet de comprendre le contexte, les stratégies, les acteurs et les enjeux d’un mouvement dont les théories marqueront longtemps les architectes de l’après-guerre.

Summary:
The iconic architecture of the brutalist modernist megastructure of Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada built by architect Arthur Erickson in the 1960s is the site of the artistic research project into the history of this "radical campus" and its built environment by Vancouver and Vienna based artists Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber. The collaborative research group, "Guests and Hosts", formed by Bitter & Weber and Métis scholar June Scudeler including Métis scholar and student Treena Chambers, Kanien’kehá:ka Mohawk student Toni-Leah Yake, as well as Rachel Warwick and Hannah Campbell, has challenged the narrative of the radical campus, so called because it was informed by experimental concepts of learning and teaching. Using the spaces of a settler colonial institution, the project shifts perspectives by unsettling and challenging western- based concepts of pedagogy and knowledge. Combining archival photographic material, architectural photographs by the artists, and interventions into the institutional spaces by Guests and Hosts, the project performs the claim for places rather than spaces for Indigenous ways of knowing and learning.

Summary:
This edited collection of essays and image-driven pieces by anthropologists, archaeologists, architects, and historians examines the legacies of African architecture from around the time of independence through examples from different countries. Drawing on ethnography, archival research, and careful observation of buildings, remains, and people, the case studies seek to connect the colonial and postcolonial origins of modernist architecture, the historical processes they underwent, and their present use and habitation, adaptation, and decay. Deriving from a workshop in connection with the 2015 exhibition ''Forms of Freedom'' at the National Museum in Oslo and the Venice Biennale, the volume combines recent developments in architectural history, the anthropology of modernism and of material culture, and contemporary archaeology to move beyond the admiration or preservation of prized architectural ''heritage'' and to complicate the contemplation—or critique—of ''ruins'' and ''ruination.''

Seeking to redefine the spaces of middle-class private life, figures such as E. M. Forster, Roger Fry, Oscar Wilde, James McNeill Whistler, and Virginia Woolf attempted to(...)

Summary:
In the late nineteenth century the conventions of Victorian domesticity came under scrutiny by British writers, designers, artists, and architects intent on bringing a modern spirit into the home. Seeking to redefine the spaces of middle-class private life, figures such as E. M. Forster, Roger Fry, Oscar Wilde, James McNeill Whistler, and Virginia Woolf attempted to rethink Victorian design and reconstruct the form, function, and meaning of the home to meet the demands of modernity. In this study, Rosner draws on a host of previously unexamined archival sources and reveals the many personal and aesthetic connections among modern British writers, interior designers, and architects, elegantly synthesizing modernist literature with architectural plans, room designs, and decorative art.

Summary:
Through a lively poststructuralist and postcolonial framework, this book explores issues of preservation, identity, meaning, and change, comparing how the Chandigarh we see today compares to the original plans and drawings. But this book also asks whether Chandigarh’s aesthetics, as well as the ethical tenets on which it was based, are still relevant to urban planning and architecture today. What lessons, if any, does the utopian ethos within modernism offer in the face of the climate crisis, rising authoritarianism, and the digital explosion? Via chapters focused on the hydrologics of the master plan, the symbolism of the Capitol buildings, and the archeology of the unbuilt Museum of Knowledge, this book makes the future-preservation case for Chandigarh as an ‘open’ work, a project that was set up by design to be ‘completed’ by others in times yet to come.

Summary:
Once hailed as icons of radical experimentation and creative ambition, the concrete structures of the mid-to-late 20th century, which have become a defining subject of Stefano Perego’s photographic exploration, continue to stir both admiration and debate. Through the scope of his lens, Perego invites readers to reflect on the era that has shaped these relics of visionary modernism and the ideals they embody. Whether celebrated landmarks or forgotten outliers, enduring symbols of artistic ingenuity or imposing expressions of misappropriated power, Concrete, mon amour unpacks the intricate narratives embedded in these architectural giants. It considers their paradoxical nature: raw yet deliberate, unadorned yet unapologetically evocative. By capturing their permanence in diverse settings—urban or remote, pristine or weathered—this book compels a deeper interrogation into what sustains their continued relevance—their sheer monumentality, the audacity of their forms, or the honesty of their materials. Ultimately, the significance of these once-revolutionary visions lies not in answers but in the questions they leave behind.
