Summary:
The first English anthology of the writings of the British-Italian architect, editor, critic, and educator Ernesto Rogers (1909–1969), ''The Hero of Doubt'' showcases the intellectual power and scope of one of the most influential yet, paradoxically, unrecognized exponents of the modern movement in Europe. These essays, edited by Roberta Marcaccio and newly translated from the Italian, reveal how, more than any other architect of the twentieth century, Rogers positioned himself as a mediator between the heroic generation of the modern masters and the younger intellectuals who went on to shape the contextualist turns of architectural postmodernism in the 1970s.

Summary:
Architecture manifests as a space of concealment and unconcealment, lethe and alêtheia, enclosure and disclosure, where its making and agency are both hidden and revealed. With an urgency to amplify narratives that are overlooked, silenced and unacknowledged in and by architectural spaces, histories and theories, this book contends the need for a critical study of hiding in the context of architectural processes. It urges the understanding of inherent opportunities, power structures and covert strategies, whether socio-cultural, geo-political, environmental or economic, as they are related to their hidescapes – the constructed landscapes of our built environments participating in the architectures of hiding.

Pigeat retraces his steps through famous and lesser-known gardens around the world,from Roman emperor Hadrian's universalist Tivoli park to Middle Eastern water gardens, and from eighteenth-century British garden design to a modern-day lightning field. Each garden has something to teach about the history of garden design, from the ostentatious design of Versailles, where the sumptuous layout reflects the monarch's power, to the inspired innovation of the Eden Project in England; to the cutting-edge design of the Gas Works Park in Seattle, Washington, which reclaimed a former industrial site for the people of the city to enjoy.

Summary:
Roughly half of the raw materials we extract go into the world’s built environment. Construction creates an estimated one-third of the globe’s overall waste and at least 40 per cent of carbon emissions. These are devastating figures, but they also mean that the construction sector has the power to make a relevant contribution to reversing the climate emergency. In several short essays, this book develops a global perspective on economic, social, and ecological changes in the industry, highlights the experiences of various market players in interviews, presents best practice examples, and dispels the most common prejudices regarding sustainable construction.

Summary:
Architecture is the perfect form of camouflage. As buildings recede into the background of everyday life, the myriad forces that shape our natural, social, and political landscapes hide in plain sight. Embedded within the spatial and material organizations of the built environment are ideas of value, hierarchy, and control that tilt the ground and influence perception in the name of endless competing interests. This issue of ''Perspecta'' considers the complexities and potentialities of architectural concealment, obfuscation, and mimicry; of the power inherent in architecture's expanding capacity as media. In the veiled extents of our physical and digital worlds, what is still not found?

Summary:
Glasgow-based artist Phil Collins' film Soy Mi Madre examines the immigrant populations of Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley, a sizable percentage of which hail from northwestern Mexico. The region relies heavily on service and maintenance work provided largely through this population, who often commute to work in Aspen. Loosely inspired by Jean Genet's The Maids--a seminal example of Theatre of the Absurd that renders surreal the intricate power dynamics that exist between people of divergent socioeconomic groups and exploits the volatility of social identity--Soy Mi Madre portrays the social realities of this region through the melodramatic lens of the telenovela.

Summary:
''Ordinary Beauty'' — by combining two seemingly antithetical values—aims to foster a generation of architects who, on a daily basis, dismantle the wall separating the ordinary from beauty, construction from architecture. A generation that begins with people and life itself, reclaiming the ordinary and elevating it to a common practice of architectural quality—first imagining a new way of living, then designing the very spaces that will house that new life. A generation that recognizes the responsibility of re- storing beauty to ordinary themes, because every day architec- ture can reveal the invisible power of beauty.

Summary:
For centuries, women have influenced architecture worldwide by exerting power over space through their writing. By exploring a wide variety of sources, from diaries and travelogues to inventories and political pamphlets, this book expands architectural histories to include these women. Female spatial agencies are revealed using rare written sources, new methodologies, and in-depth re-readings of canonical histories. Women from all walks of life, writing as clients, users, or critics, are relevant voices for understanding the built environment’s past. Examining specific spaces such as churches, homes, gardens, or boulevards, it proposes a novel take on feminist historiographies.
