Summary:
Welcome to the 58th issue of The Funambulist, dedicated to Palestinian Return/Awda/??????. In its original intentions, as defined in the beginning of 2024, this issue was thought to be published long after a ceasefire in Palestine would have been reached. Anticipating a significant decrease in global mobilization for the Palestinian struggle, this issue was meant to contribute to an effort of re-intensifying of this mobilization. In the end, the genocidal siege on Gaza and its echoes in the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria have lasted much longer than any of us could have imagined and this issue was produced in a context of duress and despair for many of its contributors. In our context, this issue attempts to re-open our imaginaries of liberation of Palestine, through essays

Summary:
AV Proyectos 125 dedicates its cover to social heritage, a concept that includes the conversion of industrial buildings into civic spaces. As Ricardo Flores and Eva Prats point out in the article that accompanies the section, such interventions aim to give new life to the traces – material or immaterial –, that are identified after a careful observation of the existing. And in its further analysis of this theme, the magazine conducts an interview with BURR, the young Madrilenian studio that focusses its practice on the reactivation of unused industrial facilities.

Summary:
This double issue of TC Cuadernos explores two decades of Kengo Kuma & Associates' prolific production, focusing on their urban architecture between 2006 and 2024. Through a careful selection of projects, the monograph offers a comprehensive overview of KKAA's evolution and its constant interplay between the rural, explored in TC 158, and the urban. The work is organised around five key strategies: attract, mimetize, hide, occupy and organise. These categories reveal how Kuma approaches urban design in complex contexts. Projects such as the V Dundee Museum in Scotland and the 1550 Alberni Street Tower in Vancouver demonstrate his ability to create architectural landmarks without resorting to traditional monumentalism, prioritising materiality and the environment. On the other hand, the Asakusa Tourist Information Centre in Tokyo and the Nezu Museum show how his architecture is subtly integrated into the urban landscape.

When departments within an organisation fail to share information with each other, the popular term is “silo mentality”.

Summary:
When departments within an organisation fail to share information with each other, the popular term is “silo mentality”. Universities also suffer from this phenomenon, with learning and research in one field literally walled off from others. But architecture can create a very different environment: transparent, flexible, interactive. The magazine examines ''UCL East Marshgate'', designed by Stanton Williams, and the Faculty of Arts at Warwick University by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios as excellent examples. Also in this issue, a special feature on the Chilean practice of Pezo von Ellrichshausen and new work by Snøhetta, Wallmarkers, Peter Pichler Architecture, Atelier FCJZ, and more.

Summary:
The use of mass timber (also called engineered wood) in architecture involves prefabricated modular parts, making construction quicker and cheaper, and applying digital technology to design and fabrication. Both glue-laminated timber (glulam) and cross-laminated timber (CLT) are load-bearing materials that offer buildings not only a positive carbon footprint but also flame-retardant qualities. A special feature on mass timber includes exemplary projects such as the ''World of Volvo'' by Henning Larsen and the ''Rehmannia Root Crafts Exhibition Hall'' by LUO studio. In addition, the magazine features a special profile on new Basque topography through the eyes of Ele Arkitektura.
