The Chapel of La Estancia in Cuernavaca is a glass pavilion, like a diamond at the center of a lush colonial-style garden.

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.

Here are uncanny, imaginative and downright blasphemous visions from the very guts of the Soviet atheist apparatus: sinister priests rub shoulders with cross-bearing colonial torturers, greedy mullahs, a cyclopean Jehovah and a crypto-fascist Jesus; Russian cosmonauts mock God from space while vigilant border guards nab American Bible smugglers. "Godless Utopia" is the occult grimoire of a lost socialist anti-theology.

Combining insights from urban studies, cultural geography, and urban sociology with extensive research in South Africa, the author reflects on the implications of Johannesburg’s dual character as a city of fortified enclaves that displays the ostentatious symbols of global integration and the celebrated “enterprise culture” of neoliberal design, and as the “miasmal city” composed of residual, peripheral, and stigmatized zones characterized by signs of a new kind of marginality. He suggests that the “global cities” paradigm is inadequate to understanding the historical specificity of cities in the Global South, including the colonial mining town turned postcolonial megacity of Johannesburg.

The September issue of "The Architectural Review" looks at some of these histories, from the ideas of John Locke to their violent instrumentalisation within a range of colonial contexts. From new housing in Singapore and Geneva to alternative models of co-living and co-operative ownership, and from prospecting tools of digital gameworlds to a story of placemaking gone horribly wrong, the Property issue examines how the concept of property shapes design, and who benefits.
