Summary:
''Entangled Landscapes'' is an independent print publication dedicated to telling regional food stories - stories about the many entangled and regenerative efforts, visions, and practices that all co-exist within the realm of food and sustainability. All in the context of one specific region at a time. This first volume is dedicated to the Abruzzo region, Italy : '' 'Forte e gentile' best defines Abruzzo. Translating to 'strong and gentle', these two little words juxtapose the tenacity and tenderness of the region's vast and varied ecosystems, along with the people who have been shaped by it. Within this duality to be two very different things at once, both pastoral and coastal, Abruzzo has left us completely entranced, ultimately inspiring our first edition of 'Entangled Landscapes'.''

Summary:
The relationship between real and fictional cities is blurry. Ideas which begin as literary speculations can shape the physical world. Both architects and novelists tell stories about place; real and imagined. They are in this sense both urban practitioners, creating neighbourhoods to serve communities and articulating the values of societies through the design of their(...)

Summary:
The relationship between real and fictional cities is blurry. Ideas which begin as literary speculations can shape the physical world. Both architects and novelists tell stories about place; real and imagined. They are in this sense both urban practitioners, creating neighbourhoods to serve communities and articulating the values of societies through the design of their streets.This book of original short stories, written by architects, engineers, and novelists, explores the architecture of the near future glimpsed through the lens of fictional characters, places and buildings. What will the architecture of the future be like? How will cities change with environmental breakdown? How will people travel once cars are ancient history? What will buildings look like when bricks and mortar are no longer instruments of financial accumulation?

Summary:
Walter Benjamin's "Arcades project" suggests that space can become a storyteller: if so, plenty of fleeting stories can be read in the space of modernity, where repetition and the unexpected cross-pollinate. In "Space as storyteller", Laura Chiesa explores several stories across a wide range of time that narrate spatial jumps, from Benjamin's tangential take on the(...)

Summary:
Walter Benjamin's "Arcades project" suggests that space can become a storyteller: if so, plenty of fleeting stories can be read in the space of modernity, where repetition and the unexpected cross-pollinate. In "Space as storyteller", Laura Chiesa explores several stories across a wide range of time that narrate spatial jumps, from Benjamin's tangential take on the cityscape, the experimentalism of Futurist theatricality, the multiple and potential atlases narrated by Italo Calvino and Georges Perec, and the posturban thought and practice of Bernard Tschumi and Rem Koolhaas/OMA. Space as Storyteller diverts attention from isolated disciplines and historical or geographical contexts toward transdisciplinary encounters that mobilize the potential to invent new spaces of comparison, a potential the author describes as "architecturability."

Summary:
This publication is the result of extensive artistic and architectural research on the village of Kaliurang (Yogyakarta region, Indonesia). This book brings together different essays and a series of photographs that critically explore the spatial, transformative effects of globalisation and heritage formation on a local scale. It looks specifically at the colonial bungalows and the stories around them, questioning how they were used in the past, what their function is in the present and what they can represent in the future. In doing so, this publication intends to take into account the colonial history of the village and, at the same time, bring to the fore the voices, stories and local wisdoms often eclipsed by more prominent forms of Western knowledge production.

Summary:
This diverse, literary patchwork of Rio de Janeiro contains 10 short stories set in varied quarters of the city drawing on its inhabitants' experiences of recent historical and cultural changes. From Copacabana's thriving LGBT scene in the 1960s where the military dictatorship simultaneously terrorizes and represses politically-minded citizens, to the exhausted labourers constructing the Rio-Niteroi bridge - 'the pride of Brazil' - at gunpoint in 1974, to contemporary life in the neighbourhood of Leblon, where a call girl trying to get to a party reluctantly accepts a very strange job for the evening. The ten stories in this anthology bring to life the complex and ever-changing face of Rio de Janeiro behind the images of slums, carnivals and the sex trade.
