Summary:
Despite growing calls for global architectural histories, the historiography of modern architecture remains depicted predominantly by Western figures, narratives, and experiences. This publication takes a different approach by uncovering previously overlooked histories and contributions that shaped the Arab world’s modern built environment. It considers projects from the Arabian Gulf, the Levant, and North Africa during a critical moment when several Arab countries were entering a new phases of post-colonial nation-building. From both within and outside the architectural profession, a multifaceted exchange of ideas informed architectural thinking in the wake of independence.

Summary:
The second volume in an anthology on Tsuyoshi Tane’s evolving architectural practice. Featuring seventeen recent projects, including major commissions currently underway, such as the New Main Building of the Imperial Hotel Tokyo and the Sensoji Temple Treasure Museum, it highlights his ongoing investigation into “archaeological thinking”, a design approach rooted in uncovering memory, place, and the deep layers of history that shape the built environment. Each project thus emerges from extensive research: archival, material, cultural, spatial. Through sketches, studies, and project narratives, it reveals how ideas are patiently excavated and woven into architectural forms.

Hannah Beachler is known as an award-winning production designer, but she tells an audience that she considers herself to be more of a story designer. As film stills and concept art from a few of those stories--"Moonlight", "Miles Ahead", "Creed", "Lemonade", and "Black Panther"--flash across a screen, Beachler engages in a meandering conversation with Jacqueline Stewart and Toni L. Griffin about set building and curation, urban design, location scouting, Afrofuturism, fictional histories, and Black feminist narratives, and illustrates her role: a designer behind on-screen tableaux that provide not only visual feasts of artistry and imagination, but also intimate spaces of emotion, humanity, and constructed memory.

Summary:
Forest Prairie Edge is a deep-time investigation of the edge land, or ecotone, between the open prairies and boreal forest region of Saskatchewan. Ecotones are transitions from one landscape to another, where social, economic, and cultural practices of different landscapes are blended. Using place history and edge theory, Massie considers the role and importance of the(...)

Summary:
Forest Prairie Edge is a deep-time investigation of the edge land, or ecotone, between the open prairies and boreal forest region of Saskatchewan. Ecotones are transitions from one landscape to another, where social, economic, and cultural practices of different landscapes are blended. Using place history and edge theory, Massie considers the role and importance of the edge ecotone in building a diverse social and economic past that contradicts traditional “prairie” narratives around settlement, economic development, and culture. She offers a refreshing new perspective that overturns long-held assumptions of the prairies and the Canadian West.

Summary:
"Plaster monuments" unsettles conventional thinking about copies and originals. As Mari Lending shows, casts were used to restore wholeness to buildings that in reality lay in ruin, or to isolate specific features of monuments to illustrate what was typical of a particular building, style, or era. Arranged in galleries and published in exhibition catalogues, these often enormous objects were staged to suggest the sweep of history, synthesizing structures from vastly different regions and time periods into coherent narratives. The first comprehensive history of these full-scale replicas, "Plaster monuments" examines how they were produced, marketed, sold, and displayed, and how their significance can be understood today.

The book blends key articles from the Alphabettes platform with original essays, exploring intersections between culture, language, business practices, technology, and type.

Summary:
In the later part of the nineteenth century, American bicyclists were explorers, cycling through both charted and uncharted territory. These wheelmen and wheelwomen became keen observers of suburban and rural landscapes, and left copious records of their journeys—in travel narratives, journalism, maps, photographs, illustrations. They were also instrumental in the(...)

Summary:
In the later part of the nineteenth century, American bicyclists were explorers, cycling through both charted and uncharted territory. These wheelmen and wheelwomen became keen observers of suburban and rural landscapes, and left copious records of their journeys—in travel narratives, journalism, maps, photographs, illustrations. They were also instrumental in the construction of roads and paths (“wheelways”)—building them, funding them, and lobbying legislators for them. Their explorations shaped the landscape and the way we look at it, yet with few exceptions their writings have been largely overlooked by landscape scholars, and many of the paths cyclists cleared have disappeared. In Old Wheelways, Robert McCullough restores the pioneering cyclists of the nineteenth century to the history of American landscapes.
