Summary:
Receive a free copy of the third issue of AMag PT, a new series exclusively dedicated to Portuguese architecture, together with the purchase of AMag 32. Issue 32 features eighteen works by three French studios located in three cities – two collectives and one singular office – which have both essentially and formally different approaches, intervention contexts, and languages. Atelier Ordinaire develops its small-scale projects using vernacular knowledge and mainly natural, local materials. Atelier EGR focuses on large-scale projects that often entail social impact and collective use. Paris-based architect Jean-Christophe Quinton primarily seeks opportunities to make a qualitative contribution through his work. Depending on the context, scale, and function, this can shift between an individual or a collective point of view. Issue 03 PT features João Mendes Ribeiro, an architecture practice based in Coimbra (PT).

Summary:
Hermann Czech gained recognition in Europe in the 1970s with projects based on a strategy of continuation and convention instead of contrast. His work includes homes, hotels, schools, and urban planning, as well as small-scale interventions and exhibition design. In rejecting facile connections between theory and practice, he developed a multidimensional, critical and early postmodern position amid a climate of reformation and avant-gardism. Guest-edited by Christian Kühn of Technische Universität Wien, this issue explores the many facets of Czech’s architectural thought and practice through works ranging from furniture design to urban-scale infrastructure.

Summary:
Helle Juul and Flemming Frost have been busy contributing assignment solutions from dialogue-based consultancy to concrete planning, designing and realization of architecture. The signature of their work is the discussion about context and scale with respect to urban time and space. Juul & Frost manifest their professional conceptual foundation through a philosophical and theoretical approach to architecture. There is a focus on the architectonic idea, which is consistently pursued and tested throughout the entire course of the project. The origin of their work was established through the editorial responsibilities for the Danish journal of architecture, SKALA, and the running of an architectural gallery, also known as SKALA, at the end of the nineteen-eighties. In the nineteen-nineties, Juul & Frost continued working as curators of large scale urban exhibitions, symposia and workshops known as SKAZKI Architecture Forum.Comprehensively unified planning and the contextual angle stand as indispensable points of reference for Juul & Frost, regardless of the assignment's scale.

Summary:
At the urban scale, Kalach and Alvarez derive their basic vocabulary from the tradition of Corbusian and Russian constructivist slabs that, during the last two decades, were infused with a sense of memory and influenced by Italian and Spanish rationalists. At a smaller scale, Kalach and Alvarez are members of a generation of designers who use concrete, glass, and steel as a palette with which they create extremely active three-dimensional compositions in Mexico City today. With a foreword by Teodoro Gonzàlez de Leon and an introduction by Aaron Betsky.

Summary:
Until the beginning of the nineties, the centre of Amsterdam was regarded as the obvious nucleus of urban and regional economic activity. But since then, issues of accessibility and scale have induced the development of multi-nodal spatial networks on a regional scale. In ten years' time the spatial and economic configuration of the region has changed dramatically. The development of the Zuidas in the coming thirty years offers a strategic chance to furnish this regionalization of urbanity with a new, more appealing structure. After all, the Zuidas is not only emerging as a business centre of international significance, its favourable position in the traffic and transport system provides it with optimum conditions for evolution into a varied urban-centre environment.
