Supplying both a gripping mystery story and a portrait of the artist in his prime, William Drennan wades through the myths surrounding Wright and the massacre, casting fresh light on the formulation of Wright’s architectural ideology and the cataclysmic effects that the Taliesin murders exerted on the fabled architect and on his subsequent designs.

Besides his iconic Schröder House, very little is known about the roughly 100 houses Rietveld designed and built during his career. These houses are characterised by light and space, and sobriety is a basic principle in his approach. Only a small group of intellectual clients commissioned him to design an avant-garde residence. Photographer Arjan Bronkhorst went in search of these unknown houses, photographing their interiors and residents, while authors Willemijn Zwikstra and Marc van den Eerenbeemt explored archives and interviewed current residents about living in a Rietveld house.

The Paris-based architecture firm Experience is headed by Tristan Chadney, Laurent Esmilaire, and Éric Lapierre. They describe their approach towards architecture as cultural and typological, where they venture in search of the “marvellous”.

They describe their approach towards architecture as cultural and typological, where they venture in search of the “marvellous”. Experience’s meditations on architectural form are so rational that they sometimes loop into the surreal, a paradox apparent in the nineteen works presented in this issue: Palaiseau Student Housing, Chris Marker Residence, Berthelot Collective Housing, Verdeaux School Complex, and more. Notably, the firm imagines housing not as a mechanical repetition of units but as a system of heterogenous parts akin to a living organism.

Built in 1940, the Binning residence captures the spirit of early Modernism in Canada. Binning is equally well known for his lively line drawings and his geometric, non-figurative abstract paintings that often reflect his fascination with boats and maritime activity.

After leaving an artist in residence in Japan spring 2019 and being back in Amsterdam Markus felt the need for silence and contemplation. Intuitively she built a studio setting in the forest and a photographic process began. It started with a found tarpaulin; the same kind of blue tarp that is a common sight in Japan and if one looks closer most often a shelter for someone homeless appears.
