Summary:
The socially oriented perspective of Volume #1, 'Rethinking the Social', is complemented by discussions of architectural and transdisciplinary theories and methodologies in Volume #2, 'After Effects'. Together these twin volumes reflect on topics such as the utopian idea of a welfare state, the role of intersubjective and non-human points of view, and the impact of historical and current images on the making of realities. The task of these books is to present a wide range of research topics that combine historical, material, and critical research approaches that respond to our current crises and challenges. Ultimately, this enables new modes of knowledge production within architecture to be advanced in its relation to societal transformation.

This book, a reflection on Herman Hertzberger’s legacy, spanning from 1959 to today, is as much about making architecture as it is about world-making.

Summary:
This book, a reflection on Herman Hertzberger’s legacy, spanning from 1959 to today, is as much about making architecture as it is about world-making. The Dutch architect never considered his works as stand-alone objects, but rather as parts of webs of connections on different scales. In this collection of texts, photographs, drawings, his own work, and architecture and art by others, all of these layers come together to form a universe of inspirations, ideas, and solutions – in Hertzberger’s words, his ‘musée imaginaire’. Edited by Suzanne Mulder and Hans Ibelings, the book is written and compiled by Hertzberger himself and features an essay by Thomas Hertzberger.

Summary:
This monograph offers a comprehensive overview of more than 25 years of unique creations by French Portuguese artist-architect Didier Fiúza Faustino (born 1968), who works at the intersection of the body and architectural space. Since 1995, Faustino has been developing a multifaceted approach ranging from installation to experimentation, from visual art to the creation of multisensory spaces and buildings. The publication is divided into three main parts. The first is designed as a magazine with fake advertisements created by Faustino’s Bureau des Mésarchitectures. The second focuses on the agency’s manifesto projects. The third part shows the realizations of these projects. In between these sections are the agency’s manifesto texts, as well as contributions from various authors analyzing the work of Faustino and his team.

Summary:
he link between architecture and art and the sublimity it can create has a history that stretches back millennia. From cave paintings to the stained glass and saintly icons in churches and cathedrals, to the geometric and calligraphic treatments of mosques and contemporary artists channelling architecture and vice versa, and so much else. This AD is about the contemporary interactions between living artists and architects, and the artistic practices, such as poetry and abstractions, that architects adopt to develop ideas for their projects. The issue features artists, architects, curators, musicians, poets and designer craftspeople, illustrating the current rich mix of architectonic constructions, interventions and set pieces that range from musical performance to exhibition designs, glass works and digital 3D scanning. It lays out the wide spectrum and beauty of these sublime correspondences, with contributions from architects about their own artistic practices, and creative works viewed through the eyes of architectural commentators. An explosion of colour, form and creative tactics for making multifaceted work that above all is architectural, it offers a cornucopia of possibilities.

Summary:
For many, the idea of Space Architecture as a discipline lies in the domain of science fiction, where everything is possible simply because it happens "very far in the future". Is Space Architecture a fiction or reality? This book explores if and how architectural principles and strategies need to be transformed when applied to the extreme conditions of outer space. It presents concepts developed by great minds in the fields of space exploration and science-fiction, ones which can inspire new ways into the future. The book also presents the philosophy of Space Architecture, arguing for example that the design of space habitats needs to be human-centred while defining ways for humans to co-exist in new environments. These views are complemented by examples of architectures from current and planned space missions, organised by private companies as well as government agencies.
