Summary:
This issue looks at continuity, disruption, and evolution in the works of Christ & Gantebein. For this Basel-based firm, founded in 1998 and headed by Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein, constraints in site and programme are welcome opportunities to create spatial surprises. Whether through experimentations in the museum typology, such as the extension of the Swiss National Museum, or domestic architecture, as evidenced by Vaugirard Social Housing, their approach goes beyond recreating basic functions to provide sensitive solutions in terms of urban repair and contemporary spatial issues. Besides recent projects, the issue contains a conversation with the architects.

Summary:
Over a five-year period, a modest poster board hung in a Minneapolis neighbourhood; it became a barometer for experimental typographic practice within the global design community. This dense volume documents the entire project, which was curated by Erik Brandt, and features works ranging from well-known designers to talented students. Conceptually approached like the ‘Ficciones Typografika’ project, the book is an expressive and visceral experience, rather than an encyclopaedic documentation. It reproduces every installation of work along with an overprint of the original posters. With a text by Ben DuVall and a conversation between Brandt and Paul Schmelzer.

Summary:
It is the seemingly peripheral details and gestures that anchor this collection of images. Like the building they document, these photographs of the Drawing Matter Archive at the Shatwell Farm in Somerset are reflections of the project’s backgrounds, contextual minutiae, and footnotes. Taking the form of a three-way conversation between Hugh Strange (the archive’s architect), photographer Max Creasy, and architect and academic Elizabeth Hatz, this book offers a subtly poetic and expansive examination of the building, the collection it houses, and its place in the surrounding farm, as well as a wider evaluation of the built form.

Summary:
Ricardo Flores and Eva Prats founded their architecture firm in Barcelona in 1998. Their studio, which occupies a former residence, is a workshop where the practical work of design merges with academics, friends, and colleagues; a place that itself is an accumulation of projects and of the realities that have passed through it over the years. This book revisits nine key projects in the duo’s internationally acclaimed oeuvre, including Liquid Light (Venice, 2018), Mills Museum (Palma de Mallorca, 2016), Building 111 (Barcelona, 2011), and Yutes Warehouse (Barcelona, 2005), plus collected images, models, and a conversation with Antoni Miralda.
