Summary:
Over more than two decades of writing, Aaron Betsky has used his knowledge of architecture and urbanism to argue for the ways in which buildings, cities and landscapes help us understand where we are, where we have come from, and where we are going. He argues for modernist design as a way of making ourselves at home in the ever-changing world of modernity. In At Home in Sprawl, using such disparate examples as California and the Netherlands, he offers possible building blocks for better sprawl. He also believes that buildings are no longer enough to make us at home in the modern world, and that architects must look beyond such structures to landscapes, interiors, and imaginary structures to find appropriate and critical architecture.

This journal investigates the idea of a project in architecture — that is, the pursuit of an intellectual problem or critical agenda that transcends an architect’s individual works. Given the present diffuseness of the discipline, and the proliferation of media platforms that indiscriminately celebrate the imagery and culture of design, it is essential to distinguish the architects, ideas and works that take a critical stance on architecture and the world in which it exists. Project is a platform for architects to name the stakes for architecture, to articulate in drawings and words their projects and their ambitions for the discipline today.

Summary:
During the Renaissance, the contest to decide the order of rank among the fine arts, architecture, painting, and sculpture was an issue that also occupied the famous architect Andrea Palladio. He was convinced that architecture spoke for itself and did not require any ornamentation through painting. Nevertheless, frescos adorn the walls and ceilings of many of his villas. In Frescos, Antonio Foscari analyzes this fresco cycle, one that not only represents an outstanding example of trompe l’oeil based on architectural structures – and which is closely modeled on Palladio’s ideals – but also sheds light on formative events within the family that commissioned Palladio. This publication contains a wealth of historical documents as well as photographs of the frescos by Matthias Schaller.
