Summary:
Films use architecture as visual shorthand to tell viewers everything they need to know about the characters in a short amount of time. Illustrated by a diverse range of films from different eras and cultures, this book investigates the reciprocity between film and architecture. Using a phenomenological approach, it describes how we, the viewers, can learn how to read architecture and design in film in order to see the many inherent messages. Architecture’s representational capacity contributes to the plausibility or 'reality' possible in film. The book provides an ontological understanding that clarifies and stabilizes the reciprocity of the actual world and a filmic world of illusion and human imagination, thereby shedding light on both film and architecture.

Summary:
For "Breaking protocol", transdisciplinary artist Maria Hupfield embarked on a research project on the protocols of Indigenous performance—tracing Indigenous knowledge systems, land-preservation practices and feminist scholarship to illuminate strategies for enacting refusal within decolonial frameworks. The book draws from Hupfield’s "Coffee Break"—a series of conversations held over Zoom during the pandemic, in which Hupfield invited international Indigenous performance artists to discuss their work (from dance to stand-up comedy), who in turn invited other artists to join the conversations. Building on these exchanges, "Breaking protocol" asks what we can learn from Indigenous, place-based artistic modes of making and practice to open spaces for reciprocity and multiplicity.

Summary:
This issue follows a tripartite trajectory regarding formal studies. On the one hand, it includes reflections on the way built form is produced, while, on the other, it gathers studies that examine how architectural form appears in discursive and communicative terms. Finally, it serves as an attractor for multiple inquiries into the different relations that can be established between human actions, understood in the broadest possible terms, and the shape of the built environment. By interrelating these three approaches, the aim is to embrace and braid object-based approaches to form with approaches that examine the reciprocity of formal emergence and studies dealing with in-formation.

Extending the figure-ground visual paradox to a fundamental architectonic problem – that of the reciprocity between a wall and a window – this book by Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrichshausen reflects on the intersection between painting and architecture.

Summary:
Extending the figure-ground visual paradox to a fundamental architectonic problem – that of the reciprocity between a wall and a window – this book by Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrichshausen reflects on the intersection between painting and architecture. If a window is inherently a subtraction of a wall’s surface but also an infill with a "view" beyond it, a painting is as much a flat, opaque surface as the illusion of space beyond. Containing over 1,000 works, including paintings, sketches, and line drawings, this alphabetical catalogue presents a broad examination of the Chilean duo’s practice to date. The book also includes an essay by the authors and an index of the artworks.

Summary:
Find hope to heal the relationship between our planet and all of its inhabitants, including humans, animals, and plants. Essays, visual narratives, and interviews explore practices of care and present possibilities for living differently in a fragile age. Artists and culture bearers consider bonds of love, responsibility, and reciprocity, encouraging consideration of our inherent interdependence with one another, with other creatures, and with the planet itself. This anthology looks at how life, including plant, animal, and human life, can thrive through acts of harmony. In "How to survive", women and non-binary voices present ideas of interdependence, place-based knowledge, attentiveness, liberatory imagination, mending, repair, and activism offering visions of hope and adaptation, as well as novel ways of understanding our responsibilities to the planet.

Scandinavia is famous for its design culture, and for its pioneering efforts toward a sustainable future. In this volume, Kjetil Fallan shows how these two forces came together in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when Scandinavian designers began to question the endless cycle in which designed objects are produced, consumed, discarded, and replaced in quick succession.

Summary:
Scandinavia is famous for its design culture, and for its pioneering efforts toward a sustainable future. In this volume, Kjetil Fallan shows how these two forces came together in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when Scandinavian designers began to question the endless cycle in which designed objects are produced, consumed, discarded, and replaced in quick succession. The emergence of ecological design in Scandinavia at the height of the popular environmental movement, Fallan suggests, illuminates a little-known reciprocity between environmentalism and design: not only did design play a role in the rise of modern environmentalism, but ecological thinking influenced the transformation in design culture in Scandinavia and beyond that began as the modernist faith in progress and prosperity waned.

Summary:
With more than fifty contributors, ''Indigenous critical reflections on traditional ecological knowledge'' offers important perspectives by Indigenous Peoples on Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Indigenous value systems. The book aims to educate and inspire readers about the importance of decolonizing how Indigenous Knowledges are considered and used outside of Native communities. By including the work of Indigenous storytellers, poets, and scholars from around the globe, editor Lara Jacobs and chapter authors effectively explore the Indigenous value systems-relationships, reciprocity, and responsibility-that are fundamental to Indigenous Knowledge systems and cultures. Indigenous languages and positionality statements are featured for each of the contributors to frame their cultural and geographical background and to allow each Indigenous voice to lead discussions and contribute critical discourse to the literature on Indigenous Knowledges and value systems. By creating space for each of these individual voices, this volume challenges colonial extraction norms and highlights the importance of decolonial methods in understanding and protecting Indigenous Knowledges.

Summary:
This book presents a terrestrial description of the Seagram Building. It aims to describe how humans and nature interact with the thin crust of the planet. Architecture reorganizes nature and society in particular ways that today demand overt attention and new methods of description. ''The immense material, energy and labor involved in building require a fresh interpretation that better situates the ecological and social potential of design. Architecture and society would benefit from alternative descriptions of building and architecture as terrestrial activities that help imagine how to maximize the impact of architecture on its environment. I argue that the enhancement of a particular building should be inextricable from the enhancement of its world-system and construction ecology. A 'beautiful' building engendered through the vulgarity of uneven exchanges and processes of underdevelopment is no longer a tenable conceit in such a framework. Design can and should evince the inherent solidarity and reciprocity of people, places and politics involved in building architecture.''
