Summary:
The Mexican firm Tatiana Bilbao Estudio takes centre stage in this issue, with projects that are representative of values developed over nearly two decades of practice. The studio prioritises the communities for whom it builds while also seeking to understand the socio-environmental frameworks. Evident from the studio’s portfolio is a playful approach to scale, geometry, and materiality. Projects range from large-scale master planning and building design to residences and precise interventions that serve an existing community, such as reconstruction following a disaster. Further, a selection of key exhibitions captures the breadth of the studio’s research into private and public space.

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.
