Summary:
The village of al-'Araqib has been destroyed and rebuilt more than 70 times in the ongoing "Battle over the Negev"--the Israeli state campaign to uproot the Palestinian Bedouins from the northern threshold of the desert. Unlike other frontiers fought over during the Palestine conflict, this one is not demarcated by fences and walls but by shifting climatic conditions. The(...)

Summary:
The village of al-'Araqib has been destroyed and rebuilt more than 70 times in the ongoing "Battle over the Negev"--the Israeli state campaign to uproot the Palestinian Bedouins from the northern threshold of the desert. Unlike other frontiers fought over during the Palestine conflict, this one is not demarcated by fences and walls but by shifting climatic conditions. The threshold of the desert advances and recedes in response to colonization, cultivation, displacement, urbanization and, most recently, climate change. In his response to Sheikh's Desert Bloom series, Israeli intellectual and architect Eyal Weizman's essay incorporates historical aerial photographs, contemporary remote sensing data, state plans, court testimonies and 19th-century travelers' accounts, exploring the Negev's threshold as a "shoreline" along which climate change and political conflict are entangled.

Summary:
The third annual Alchemy Lecture took place in October 2024 at York University to a sold-out in-person audience and online viewers from multiple continents. Four Alchemists—thinkers and practitioners working across disciplines and geographies—shared their ideas of cities and how to shape them according to community needs. Their urgent, poignant and inventive lectures have been captured and expanded in these pages. Princeton professor of architecture V. Mitch McEwen borrows the language of the swamp to suggest a city modeled on buoyancy, inviting us to consider floating "as something other than displacement." Iranian-American writer Laleh Khalili dreams of radical kinship, where even strangers have the means and desire to share a table, "creating [bonds] through the rituals of reciprocal giving." In the Bantu/Kongo tradition, Brazilian architect Gabriela Leandro Pereira points to dreams as the site from which all Black emancipation begins, leading to "projects paved by the audacity to inhabit."

Summary:
With more than 150 illustrations, this monograph offers the first in-depth look at the genesis of the Steiger House, a masterpiece of modern Swiss architecture, situated in the Doldertal in Zurich near other modernist houses, such as the Doldertal Houses by Roth and Breuer (1936) and the Fellowship Home (1960). Its central hall relates to Villa la Rotonda by Andrea Palladio. Detailed analyses illustrate the central layout and outline the chronology, typology and construction of the building. Further contributions illuminate its relation to local topography, the cultural context of the building, and important historical and contemporary architectural references, including the Steiger House's famous neighbors, the Doldertal Houses. The Swiss architect couple Flora Steiger-Crawford (1899–1991, also a sculptor) and Rudolf Steiger (1900–82) are important representatives of the Swiss avant-garde, and Flora Crawford was the first female architect to graduate from ETH Zurich.

Summary:
An architect interested in ephemeral structures, a photographer who has grown increasingly suspicious of pictures, Jaar's most telling gesture is to relinquish the camera by placing it, figuratively and sometimes literally, in the public's hands. In other words, Jaar is a master of indirection. And no wonder. His work was shaped at the outset by the need to speak clearly(...)

In other words, Jaar is a master of indirection. And no wonder. His work was shaped at the outset by the need to speak clearly and forcefully against murderous injustice, using language of the most lucid obliquity. Jaar's work declares that daring to connect and participate is our last, best hope.

Summary:
The fundamental topics under consideration in this book are the Japanese ordering of space and form, the flexible arrangement of partitions and room functions in a Japanese home, and the general integrative quality of traditional Japanese architecture. The author describes in detail— with abundant architectural plans and drawings— the influence of body anatomy on traditional Japanese units of measurment and house construction. The layout, framework and methods of space control (shoji, fusuma, etc.), the shutters and doors used in the house, and many other topics are given comprehensive treatment. With a new foreword by architect and professor Mira Locher, Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, this updated hardcover edition brings this popular work to modern readers— in hopes that they may find ideas to adopt into their own home.

Summary:
The Belgian architecture firm Conix was founded in 1979 and has, in nearly three decades led by Christine Conix, architect Sylvie Bruyninckx and interior designer An Steylaerts, grown to a staff of 55. No other firm is as widely represented along the quays of Antwerp, but that accomplishment doesn't convey the exceptional diversity of their projects, both residential and business. In recent years, Conix has received a great deal of international attention for one project in particular: the just-completed renovation of the midcentury design landmark, the Atomium, in Brussels, a replica of an atom that stands more than 300 feet high, with a different space in each 60-foot sphere, from a children's museum to a restaurant. Conix Architecten features an exceptionally sleek interior design and the book's pages are even edged in silver. With special emphasis on the Atomium, it features a selection of outstanding recent projects in 200 illustrations.
