Summary:
''Canadian environmental philosophy'' is the first collection of essays to take up theoretical and practical issues in environmental philosophy today, from a Canadian perspective. The essays cover various subjects, including ecological nationalism, the legacy of Grey Owl, the meaning of 'outside' to Canadians, the paradigm shift from mechanism to ecology in our understanding of nature, the meaning and significance of the Anthropocene, the challenges of biodiversity protection in Canada, the conservation status of crossbred species in the age of climate change, and the moral status of ecosystems. This wide range of topics is as diverse and challenging as the Canadian landscape itself.

Summary:
The ‘Intercalations’ series is an experimental foray exploring the structure of the book as a potential curatorial space. This third instalment, co-edited by Anna-Sophie Springer and Etienne Turpin, unfolds an itinerant encounter with 19th-century European naturalists in the Malay world, where the theory of evolution by natural selection emerged alongside less celebrated concerns about mass extinction and climate change. By re-considering the condition of colonial science in the tropics, we may find particular relevance for confronting forms of neo-colonisation in the Anthropocene. With contributions by George Beccaloni, Lucy Davis, Paulo Tavares, Rachel Thompson, and several others.

A fierce activist for women’s rights and against climate change, Judy Chicago defines herself best: “I’m Judy Chicago, and I’m an artist and a troublemaker.” A leader of the Women’s Art Movement of the 1970s, Chicago also founded the first feminist art program in the United States. She is renowned for her monumental installation ''The Dinner Party'' (1974–1979), an iconic work that celebrates female luminaries from history and mythology, including Georgia O’Keefe, Emily Dickinson, Sojourner Truth, and Hatshepsut.

Roughly half of the raw materials we extract go into the world’s built environment. Construction creates an estimated one-third of the globe’s overall waste and at least 40 per cent of carbon emissions. These are devastating figures, but they also mean that the construction sector has the power to make a relevant contribution to reversing the climate emergency. In several(...)

Summary:
Roughly half of the raw materials we extract go into the world’s built environment. Construction creates an estimated one-third of the globe’s overall waste and at least 40 per cent of carbon emissions. These are devastating figures, but they also mean that the construction sector has the power to make a relevant contribution to reversing the climate emergency. In several short essays, this book develops a global perspective on economic, social, and ecological changes in the industry, highlights the experiences of various market players in interviews, presents best practice examples, and dispels the most common prejudices regarding sustainable construction.

"Forest Times" brings together Uriel Orlow’s "Reading Wood" (Backwards) (2022) and 'Forest Futurism' (2024), where plants emerge as political actors, witnesses to history, and guides for the future. 'Reading Wood' (Backwards) explores human and non-human entanglements, questioning what it means to restitute to the natural world. In 'Forest Futurism', Orlow shifts focus to plants’ lives beyond human time, blending film and 3D modeling to connect tree fossils’ deep past with future forest scenarios imagined through the voices of children. Set in South Tyrol, the project bridges local scientific research with global climate challenges, envisioningalternative, more-than-human futures.

Summary:
Led by Edward P. Bass Distinguished Visiting Architecture Fellow Marc de La Bruyère and Claire Weisz founding principal of WXY Architecture Students of the Yale School of Architecture sought to investigate and propose history-conscious proposals for housing in Edmonton, Canada, a city poised for future economic growth. The students assessed how climate, economic forces, and urban contexts impacted the composition of housing typologies over time in various contexts and then focused on “Gateway Sites” in Edmonton. The students created proposals that utilized innovative housing schemes and applied socially responsible real estate development to form solutions for local ecological, social, and marketing challenges.

The magazine takes a moment to reflect on the point of connection between water, architecture, and people. Spanning six Nordic countries, the nineteen projects featured in this issue explore diverse pursuits, from the rehabilitation of industrial ports into lively urban centres, to questions of accessibility and the extension of habitable space onto and into bodies of water. Examples such as Lonna Sauna in Helsinki by OOPEAA and Bademaschinen in Oslo by ACT! and Borhaven Arkitekter continue the region’s historical wellness practices, while urban-scale developments like Copenhagen’s Nordhavn by Cobe tackle the challenge of designing for a future marked by climate change.

Summary:
Thomas Phifer is an award-winning American architect based in New York City. As seen in the ten houses and twelve cultural buildings featured in this monographic issue, the architect’s work engages with the landscape in a manner that is deeply respectful. Whether in the operable sunshades in Taghkanic House, the thick concrete eaves overhanging the ephemeral walls of Hudson Valley House III, or the complexly multilayered canopy of Moody Amphitheater, the quiet, contemplative quality of Phifer’s approach emerges from a scientific understanding of site, climate, and light. Insightful essays by Susana Ventura and the architect himself complete this engrossing profile.

Summary:
The house is a fertile ground for architectural experimentation: a space for innovation where technical solutions, aesthetic alternatives, and new ways of dwelling are tried out. AV Monographs 276 gathers sixteen projects built in diverse geographical and cultural contexts, organized around for key materials – wood, earth, concrete, and metal – which, when combined, expand the expressive and constructive possibilities of each one of them. From the vernacular to the experimental, from the Alpine cabin to the urban dwelling, these houses show how material becomes an expressive tool, capable of linking up with the context, the climate, and the landscape.

Summary:
"The superREUSE Manifesto" is a critical exploration of ideas, research and practices in reuse. -Reuse identifies insights into cities, buildings, interiors and objects constructed through working with extant material. Super is an elevated pitch for a 21st century that is characterised by responses to the challenges of the climate emergency and social justices. The superREUSE Manifesto coalesces ideas in the designed and built environment that react and work with these challenges. It is an uncompromising collection of ideas and propositions designed to stimulate its reader to rethink their position in relation to how we must transform everything into its superREUSE.
