Summary:
Stefano Boeri is one of the few practices of international renown that has managed to overcome the difficulties intrinsic to the situation Italy presents for architecture studios and to make of these a virtue. His career as an architect has gone hand in hand with a commitment to teaching, criticism, publishing, politics and cultural agitation, and the projects he has tackled in these fields are numerous. To this we might add an abundant oeuvre unusually productive in terms of Italian parameters including public and private buildings, extending from apartment blocks and offices, a shopping mall and a small art centre in Milan, to more paradigmatic works like the remodelling of La Maddalena Arsenal (Sardinia), the apartment towers of the Vertical Forest in Milan and the Centre Régional de la Méditerranée in Marseille.

As we myopically gaze at the handsets inches from our face, we are often encouraged by sensible apostles of "objectivity" to try and get some perspective; to zoom out, zoom up, and achieve something like a lofty bird’s-eye view on our situation. e-flux Index #7 floats upward to give an aerial view over the terrain of everything e-flux published between December 2024 and February 2025. This peek through the porthole across three months worth of daily publishing gathers together long-form essays on contemporary culture and architecture, exhibition, book, and film reviews, profiles of artists, critical interjections, fresh translations from the historic avant-garde, and analytical dispatches from live political and social conjunctures. These have been recomposed into eleven thematic sections, to help us get some perspective (however vertiginous) on the present moment and emergent tendencies in critical discourse.

In a follow-up to thel monograph "Design for kids" (Images Publishing, 2007), here Sharon Exley and Peter Exley go about expanding on the key philosophies behind their unique practice. Namely, that play is an invitation to "Architecture is fun." Through architecture, play can be manifest, challenged, and celebrated. Finding out who will play (and live, work, and learn) in our buildings is an intriguing challenge. The firm likes to discover the architectural catalysts that will give character to a building. Often this involves the universal language of Play. Play fits all bodies. Play is accessible. Play inspires innovation. Play puts us in the present. Play engages us. Play is memorable. Play connects us to others and to the world. This illustrated book offers a glimpse into the firm's interdisciplinary and participatory processes and how it believes that architecture and play are transformative.

Summary:
France experienced a golden age of photobook production from the late 1920s through the 1950s. Avant-garde experiments in photography, text, design, and printing, within the context of a growing modernist publishing scene, contributed to an outpouring of brilliantly designed books. Making Strange offers a detailed examination of photobook innovation in France, exploring seminal publications by Brassaï, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, Pierre Jahan, William Klein, and Germaine Krull. Kim Sichel argues that these books both held a mirror to their time and created an unprecedented modernist visual language. Sichel provides an engaging analysis through the lens of materiality, emphasizing the photobook as an object with which the viewer interacts haptically as well as visually. Rich in historical context and beautifully illustrated, 'Making Strange' reasserts the role of French photobooks in the history of modern art.

Summary:
Antonin Artaud's journey to Ireland in 1937 marked an extraordinary—and apocalyptic—turning point in his life and career. After publishing the manifesto ''The New Revelations of Being'' about the 'catastrophic immediate-future,' Artaud abruptly left Paris for Ireland, remaining there for six weeks without money. Artaud was eventually arrested as an undesirable alien, beaten by the police, and summarily deported back to France. On his return, he spent nine years in asylums, remaining there through the entire span of World War II. During his fateful journey, Artaud wrote letters to friends in Paris which included several 'magic spells,' intended to curse his enemies and protect his friends from the city's forthcoming incineration and the Antichrist's appearance. This book collects all of Artaud's surviving correspondence from his time in Ireland, as well as photographs of the locations he traveled through.

Summary:
Robert Polidori (born 1951) has been making books at Steidl for over 18 years now, and for many of his visits he lodged in an apartment adjacent to the publishing house. To the left of this, at Düstere Straße 6, stands a small humble house, not only the oldest dwelling in Göttingen but, dating back to 1310, one of the oldest half-timbered houses in all of Germany. Miraculously never demolished over the centuries (just altered, repaired and patched up), it has now been restored by Gerhard Steidl and today houses the Günter Grass Archive, part of the University of Göttingen. ''Topographical Histories'' presents Polidori's 2016 photos of the interior walls of the building, whose glorious crumbling layers- 14th-century structures of wattle and daub, clay bricks and plaster, and remnants of paint and wallpaper from different centuries- bear witness to living history.

Summary:
Colin Rowe (1920–1999) was one of the great architectural historians of the twentieth century, publishing the influential works "The Mathematics of the Ideal Villa and Other Essays" (1976) and "Collage City" (1978). While his written work was rigorous and authoritative, his lectures and letters were more casual, "carefully careless, " both witty and erudite. This publication gathers twenty-three such writings—letters, essays, lectures, a postcard, and a eulogy. Both edifying and entertaining, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, occasionally scathing, they fill in personal details and clarify key concepts in Rowe's work. The author’s voice and opinions are strong in his discussions of architecture, current events, and his own life and work. The writings are illustrated by images of Rowe's drawings, letters, and postcards; photographs and drawings of Rowe's only built work; and illustrations chosen by Rowe for lectures.
