Summary:
In northwest Russia, in a small village called Alekhovshchina, Nadia Sablin's aunts spend the warmer months together in the family home and live as the family has always lived chopping wood to heat the house, bringing water from the well, planting potatoes, and making their own clothes. Sablin's lyrical and evocative photographs, taken over seven summers, capture the small details and daily rituals of her aunts surprisingly colorful and dreamlike days, taking us not only to another country but to another time. Alevtina and Ludmila, now in their seventies, seem both old and young, as if time itself was as seamless and cyclical as their routines working on puzzles, sewing curtains, tatting lace, picking berries, repairing fences and as full of the same subtle mysteries. Sablin collaborated with her aunts to recreate scenes she remembered from her childhood and to make new images of the patterns of their days. In these photographs, Sablin combines observation and invention, biography and autobiography, to tell the stories of her aunts life together, and in the process, quilts together a thoughtful meditation on memory, aging, and belonging.

Summary:
Architecture shapes both human and more-than-human worlds. Historically, it has served (and still does) as an instrument of power—creating, restricting, and distributing both control and access. Yet architecture also carries the potential for care and inclusivity, offering shelter, and fostering belonging. Shifting the focus from the designers and creators of the built(...)

Summary:
Architecture shapes both human and more-than-human worlds. Historically, it has served (and still does) as an instrument of power—creating, restricting, and distributing both control and access. Yet architecture also carries the potential for care and inclusivity, offering shelter, and fostering belonging. Shifting the focus from the designers and creators of the built environment to its inhabitants, Building Diversity’s second publication offers a critical lens to explore for whom cities, buildings, spaces, and infrastructures are shaped for and with. The publication creates a space for diverse voices by bringing in different perspectives to highlight the complexities of the question: ... but, who are we building for? These multifaceted contributions spark curiosity and offer ideas and thoughts for further conversations and reflections. Building Diversity is a non-profit organisation based in Denmark, dedicated to foster diversity and inclusivity in the built environment. They believe that shaping architecture and design is a collective effort that thrives on diverse perspectives and inclusive collaborations. Building Diversity is powered by volunteers united by the vision of inclusive and equitable futures. With over 90 members from more than 40 nationalities, the community brings together a diverse group of perspectives.

Summary:
Over the past two decades, many books and articles have explored the larger meaning of public acts of remembrance. Although these studies have brought the links between public memory, imperialism, and nation building into focus, they overlook local expressions of memory that lie at the heart of our everyday experiences and identities. This publication maps a terrain in memory studies by shifting the focus to local places that sit at the intersection of memory making and identity formation - the main street, the city square, the village museum, internment camps, industrial wastelands, and the rural landscape. Offering a perspective on the politics of place and memory across differing chronologies and geographies, the first part of the book traces how local expressions of memory such as celebrations, museums, statues, postcards, and plaques have contributed to a sense of place and belonging in twentieth-century Canada. The second part in turn explores how ordinary Canadians have embedded their memories of place in oral stories, photographs, and the landscape itself. With its focus on the materiality of image, text, and artefact, these essays argue for an understanding of place as imagined, made, claimed, fought for, and defended - always in a state of becoming.

Summary:
In 1968, lauded American architect Mary Otis Stevens (born 1928) and her partner, fellow architect Thomas McNulty (1919–84), initiated i Press, the influential imprint that focuses on the social context of architecture. Over the next five years, the duo released five books under the thematic umbrella of ''Human environment'' with the publisher George Braziller. The first of this series, ''The ideal Communist city'' (1969) is an English translation of urban concepts advanced by architects and planners from the University of Moscow. The book was first published in a Soviet journal of a communist youth organization in 1960 and was then republished in Italy in 1968. Offering a new way of thinking about mobility, equity and social interaction in neighborhood planning, ''The ideal Communist city'' was a direct response to suburban development and its focus on private spaces for family life: ''the new city is a world belonging to all and each'' where life is ''structured by freely chosen relationships representing the fullest, most well-rounded aspects of each human personality.'' This publication is a facsimile of ''The ideal Communist city'', with additional texts by architectural historians and the editors.

Summary:
LaToya Ruby Frazier’s award-winning first book, "The notion of family", offers an incisive exploration of the legacy of racism and economic decline in America’s small towns, as embodied by her hometown of Braddock, Pennsylvania. The work also considers the impact of that decline on the community and on her family, creating a statement both personal and truly political—an intervention in the histories and narratives of the region. Frazier has compellingly set her story of three generations—her Grandma Ruby, her mother, and herself—against larger questions of civic belonging and responsibility. The work documents her own struggles and interactions with family and the expectations of community, and includes the documentation of the demise of Braddock’s only hospital, reinforcing the idea that the history of a place is frequently written on the body as well as the landscape. With The Notion of Family, Frazier knowingly acknowledges and expands upon the traditions of classic black-and-white documentary photography, enlisting the participation of her family, and her mother in particular. In the creation of these collaborative works, Frazier reinforces the idea of art and image-making as a transformative act, a means of resetting traditional power dynamics and narratives—both those of her family and of the community at large.
