Summary:
On the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence, the founding principles it set out feel like a distant dream in today’s diminished democracy. The transformation of the White House and the Obama Presidential Center reveal how architecture reflects and exerts presidential authority. Architects design detention facilities for a state at war with immigrants, while US colonial control over Puerto Rico accelerates its coastal development. The issue revisits Fallingwater and looks toward the Emma S Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center and Tekakapim?k Contact Station in Maine as projects that offer glimmers of light.

Some walls define "us" from "them" with medieval clarity. Some walls encourage fear or feed hate. Others kill. And every wall inspires its own subversion, whether by the infiltrators who dare to go over, under or around them, or by the artists who transform them.

Summary:
A significant part of the work of artistic researcher Martin Tscholl (DE) involves walking through meadows, forests, and mountains. Here, he encounters a web of interconnections that extends far beyond the realm of humans. This web is inhabited by a wide variety of organisms, materials, and processes that are mutually dependent and in permanent change. By actively looking out for these other beings located in the margins of our phenomenal perception, a correspondence between the human and the non-human spheres starts to unfold. In this process, positions emerge in which the apparent opposites of the rational and irrational, life and non-life, art and nature, converge. Tscholl’s photography allows us to recognise the silent fragments of nature as being different from us, but also as originating from the same ontological ground. The many mystical objects in this book seem like they could come to life at any moment, giving us a warm sense of connection.

Summary:
Versailles and the Mechanics of Power explores the significance of the palace and gardens of Versailles. Graafland's exercise consists of superimposing the choreography for the 'Balet Comique de la Royne' of Balthasar de Beaujoyeulx upon the somewhat later gardens of Le Nôtre and the French Sun King. Avoiding a merely visual logic the author analyses the geometric character of the human body in that ballet and compares layout and ballet as a mechanics of power in an early symbolic state. Drawing on the many books and essays on Versailles, the author has added the ballet structure, a framework that tells us about the sometimes hidden but mostly very explicit desires of this period. These in turn tell us not only about the gardens and ballet but even more about French society at that time. Completing the book is a set of analytical drawings which give us both the layout of Versailles and the choreography of the 'Balet', explaining the mechanics of bodily discipline in the 17th century.
