Summary:
This fortieth issue of Perspecta--the oldest and most distinguished student-edited architectural journal in America--examines architecture past and present through the lens of the monster. The contributors--a diverse group of scholars, practitioners, and artists--embrace the multitude of meanings this term carries in an attempt to understand how architecture arrived at its present situation and where it may be going. Perspecta 40 represents in itself a kind of monster--a hybrid, jumbled, conflicting amalgamation of work and ideas that looks at the past in new ways and tells of things to come. Contributors: Philip Bernstein, Mario Carpo, Arindam Dutta, Ed Eigen, Mark Gage, Gensler, Marcelyn Gow and Ulrika Karlsson (servo), Catherine Ingraham, Mark Jarzombek, Terry Kirk, Leon Krier, Greg Lynn, John May, John McMorrough, Colin Montgomery, Guy Nordenson, Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen, Emmanuel Petit, Kevin Roche, Yoshiharu Tsukamoto (Atelier Bow-Wow) and Ryuji Fujimura, Michael Weinstock, Claire Zimmerman.

Summary:
While Expo 67 is considered one of the seminal moments in Canada’s history, the site had sadly become a wasteland. David Leonard explores the slow decay of this historic site. Graphic artist David Kopulos profiles over 40 projects inspired by Canada’s Centennial celebrations. Hogan’s Alley was a small neighbourhood home to Vancouver’s historic Black community. Then the downtown viaducts came and changed everything. John Lorinc looks at how Canadian cities are finally waking up to the second coming of the automobile revolution. The summer inundation of rain on the Toronto Islands has been a shocking reminder of their vulnerability. Cartographer James Steenberg examines the high-water marks of the floods.

Summary:
Loin des grands projets prestigieux, la construction d’habitations collectives reste, malgré la frénésie normative qui les bride, le terrain de prédilection des architectes. Il est vrai que, sous le joug du carcan réglementaire, les opérations peinent à sortir des conventions. À force de ténacité, certains architectes parviennent cependant à reformuler les postulats imposés, qu’ils soient d’ordre financier, programmatique ou constructif. Mais il y faut une condition que nous avons constaté presque systématiquement : les bons projets naissent dans des quartiers où l’urbanisme est maîtrisé par un architecte coordonnateur. Sans direction – et en dépit de la résistance héroïque des CAUE –, campagnes, bourgs et villes moyennes restent, à quelques méritoires exceptions, un territoire de désolation pour l’architecture.

Summary:
Since the end of World War II the Japanese have experienced far-reaching social and environmental changes encompassing the post-war recovery period, rapid economic growth, the bubble economy and its collapse, and natural disasters. Commissioned by individual homeowners, Japanese architects have responded in turn by offering potential solutions for social issues, as well as ideas for new ways of living, via the small-scale architecture of the house. This book presents 75 houses designed by over 50 architects, divided into thirteen themes, from “Earthy Concrete” and “Play” to “Redefining the Gap”. Richly detailed with more than 400 models, plans, and photographs.
