Summary:
"Evoking through design" features built work and speculative projects that highlight how contemporary practices are using devices such as spatial compositing, surface articulation, novel manipulations of matter and computational code in order to constitute spatial conditions radiating in delicate and sophisticated atmospheres. The theoretical foundations of the subject are also explored through core essays on key themes: the historic lineage of the evocation of atmosphere and moods in architecture; the more recent preoccupation with speculative realism in architecture; the human body and atmosphere; and picturesque techniques.

''Toxic Atmospheres'' consists in a different approach to space and bodies to the strictly physical one usually described in The Funambulist. Its editorial argument draws on the concepts of “being-in-the-breathable” (Peter Sloterdijk), “the weather” (Christina Sharpe), and “combat breathing” (Frantz Fanon) to resolutely politicize what is usually approached through an(...)

Summary:
''Toxic Atmospheres'' consists in a different approach to space and bodies to the strictly physical one usually described in The Funambulist. Its editorial argument draws on the concepts of “being-in-the-breathable” (Peter Sloterdijk), “the weather” (Christina Sharpe), and “combat breathing” (Frantz Fanon) to resolutely politicize what is usually approached through an environmentalist perspective. The toxicity described throughout its pages are the atmospheric conditions of colonialism, imperialism, and/or capitalism.

Summary:
This issue of Un Sedicesimo is an incursion into the 19th century gloomy atmosphere of Edgar Allan Poe's short story: The Murders in the Rue Morgue. Over the 16 pages, Gianluigi Toccafondo gives us his version of one of the great crime writer's most famous tales, published for the first time in 1841. A macabre double crime takes place in a Parisian apartment. Ferocious and unexplainable, it can only be solved by brilliant detective, Auguste Dupin. The lugubrious details of the story are transferred to an unprecedented black and white issue of Un Sedicesimo. The pages are crowded with quick ink strokes, differing shades of tempera and daubs of colour, to recreate in dark and urgent images the murky atmosphere of the tale.

Summary:
We barely talk about them and seldom know their names. Philosophy has always overlooked them; even biology considers them as mere decoration on the tree of life. And yet plants give life to the Earth: they produce the atmosphere that surrounds us, they are the origin of the oxygen that animates us. Plants embody the most direct, elementary connection that life can establish with the world. In this highly original book, Emanuele Coccia argues that, as the very creator of atmosphere, plants occupy the fundamental position from which we should analyze all elements of life. From this standpoint, we can no longer perceive the world as a simple collection of objects or as a universal space containing all things, but as the site of a veritable metaphysical mixture. Since our atmosphere is rendered possible through plants alone, life only perpetuates itself through the very circle of consumption undertaken by plants. In other words, life exists only insofar as it consumes other life, removing any moral or ethical considerations from the equation. In contrast to trends of thought that discuss nature and the cosmos in general terms, Coccia’s account brings the infinitely small together with the infinitely big, offering a radical redefinition of the place of humanity within the realm of life.

Summary:
In Manhattan Atmospheres , David Gissen explores the rise of the “late-modern” architectural environment as a form of “socio-nature” during New York City’s crisis years. The period between the mid-1960s and early 1980s in New York City has long been a case-study in the collapse of urban networks. Images of blighted buildings, degraded landscapes, and collapsed infrastructure typify the way this period in the city have been represented. But rather than a site of urban collapse, the ambition of New York City’s built environment continued, albeit inside the environments of late-modern architectural space.

Summary:
Between agitation and lightness, Fusako Kodama depicts the effervescence of modern Japan. From 1960 to 1980, she captures the atmosphere of places and the energy of people.Movement is constant; disorder occurs at times; gestures are carefree and instinctive: Fusako Kodama captures forward momentum. Her spontaneous photographs summon surprising perspectives where subjects appear slightly out of sync. Between restlessness and lightness, Fusako Kodama portrays a certain effervescence of modern Japan. From 1960 to 1980, she captures the atmosphere of cities and villages inhabited by animated beings. Through her unusual and spontaneous framing, the prolific photographer casts a gaze that is both gentle and vibrant over twenty years of Japan. 1960-1980 is the first book by Fusako Kodama published in the West, where she is still relatively unknown. This work aligns with the ongoing efforts of Chose Commune, which aims to shed light on contemporary Japanese photographers beyond their country of origin.
