THE AGAINST NATURE JOURNAL is a biannual arts and human rights magazine exploring ''crime against nature'' laws and their legacies, in print, in person, and online. Authors and readers from law, activism, social sciences, and the arts are brought together to foster dialogue on sexual and reproductive rights and rethink nature anew.

Summary:
Courts of law are projections of civic power into the built environment. States have traditionally expressed themselves with monumentality, with its implications of permanence, but modern government aspires to transparency, which society also expects. Five projects demonstrate how architects address these tensions, among them the Paris Courthouse by Renzo Piano Building Workshop and the Palace of Justice in Córdoba by Mecanoo + AYESA. In addition, five recently completed cultural warehouses by KOKO Architects, Franklin Azzi, and others show how various design strategies can be implemented in the conversion of industrial buildings to other functions.

Après nous avoir expliqué la géomorphologie du mont Royal, Jean-Claude Marsan nous entraîne dans une exploration minutieuse de cette montérégienne de trois kilomètres carrés où se côtoient fabuleux paysages, cimetières et édifices (hôpitaux, collèges, universités, oratoire, résidences privées) souvent patrimoniaux. Sans oublier le parc du mont Royal aménagé par le père de l’architecture paysagiste en Amérique du Nord, Frederick Law Olmsted, qui donna son nom au chemin qui mène à trois sites d’un grand intérêt : La Croix, le belvédère et le lac aux Castors. Les peintures à l’huile de Tex Dawson accompagnent magnifiquement le texte.
