Summary:
It is not easy to name an architect who can invent as much, and as poetically and rigorously, as Kengo Kuma. This issue of AV Monographs takes stock of his firm’s extensive output of the past five years through 32 works and 8 projects, presenting them in five groups. From the New National Stadium of Japan which is nearing completion for the Olympic Games to the competition the studio won recently to extend the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, via works like the Victoria & Albert Museum in Scotland, the Cultural Village in the Portland Japanese Garden, the refurbishment of a traditional courtyard-house in Beijing or the Camper Store in Barcelona. This taxonomy gives a good idea of the scope of his ambition.

Summary:
Monumental consacre un numéro entier à la pierre, matériau de construction dominant de l’architecture ancienne et, depuis quelques années, objet d’un intérêt renouvelé dans la construction contemporaine. Tout commence dans les carrières, dont l’étude et la connaissance constituent un préalable indispensable. Suivent l’analyse des méthodes de production et de caractérisation des pierres, permettant d’identifier et de localiser leur provenance, et d’apporter des renseignements essentiels à la connaissance des édifices. C’est précisément dans le cadre de la conservation et de la restauration du bâti patrimonial que se posent les problématiques liées au remplacement des pierres, sous-tendu la plupart du temps par la délicate question de leur approvisionnement. Ainsi, des bases de données – véritables outils de collecte d’informations – ont été élaborées pour répertorier les carrières du Sud de la France et en Bourgogne.

Summary:
We all know the role of public parks in the health and vitality of a major city: they provide space for recreation, help reduce the impact of harmful greenhouse gas emissions, and absorb runoff from heavy thaws or storms. Parks also help make a city more equal: they provide greenery, amenities, and spaces to socialize to all people, regardless of income or status. But in(...)

Summary:
We all know the role of public parks in the health and vitality of a major city: they provide space for recreation, help reduce the impact of harmful greenhouse gas emissions, and absorb runoff from heavy thaws or storms. Parks also help make a city more equal: they provide greenery, amenities, and spaces to socialize to all people, regardless of income or status. But in a quickly intensifying city with soaring property values, Toronto is hard-pressed to create the parkland necessary to accommodate the needs of a growing population. Our contributors explore these themes in our 20-page cover section. You’ll also find engaging articles on the neurological reasons why we respond to certain architecture styles, how purpose-built apartments after World War I opened up independent city-living for women, where all of the building permits have been issued in the city over the last 20 years, why local comic artists are using Toronto as the setting in their stories, and how Mayor John Tory has made four horrible decisions that Torontonians will have to live with for generations.

Summary:
The projects featured in this issue are presented under three themes: “The habitable wall”, “Cities of the dead”, and “Down to earth”. The first considers two new linear projects in Italy – Herzong & de Meuron’s Feltrinelli Porta Volta in Milan and City of Sun by Labics in Rome – both of which interject a modern palisade along the edge of well-defined urban district. The second theme looks at the fascinating challenge of building for the dead through four new projects in Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and the Netherlands. The final section takes rammed earth as its subject, highlighting five architects who show that this ancient material can still be used to produce exciting modern architecture.
