Summary:
Reflecting daily life in Slovenia, ''Living With Water'' is the catalogue for the Slovenian Pavilion at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition. From rivers, glacial lakes, and waterfalls, to bogs, karst, disappearing lakes, and thermal springs, water is one of the most potent and decisive factors determining both the country's landscapes and its supply of drinking water. A multidisciplinary team of thirteen architects, landscape architects, urban planners, researchers, and strategists rethink water management and the protection of water resources. From site-specific case studies to alternative models, they explore the complexity of natural and artificial water systems.

Summary:
A follow-up to the original German edition published in 2013, this first English edition offers a new foreword by Oya Atalay Franck, who writes, “Perhaps it is precisely the deceitful nature of architectural problems that make the profession so interesting, that lets architects find new answers to the seemingly same questions time and again.” Compiled by the Institute Urban Landscape of the School of Architecture, Design, and Civil Engineering at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences, this guide permits two levels of reading. Firstly, it offers a selective interrogation of specific methods in real-world applications. Secondly, it is an examination of the methods themselves.

Summary:
Questo progetto fotografico sui maestri dell’architettura a Napoli, che avrebbe potesaurirsi in un ennesimo atlante di monumenti del contemporaneo, è stato per Ferrara l’occasione per un nuovo viaggio attraverso mezzo secolo della storia di Napoli (con una coda al Museo del Sannio di Benevento). Ognuno dei dodici capitoli di cui si compone il percorso – qui riproposto di necessità in forma schematica – costituisce infatti un breve saggio di studio o, come suggerisce il fotografo statunitense Stephen Shore, il tentativo di dare forma e risolvere attraverso la sequenza, seppur provvisoriamente, un problema di rappresentazione elaborato sul campo. Abbandonando qualsiasi postura stilistica, il fotografo ha articolato secondo necessità visioni frontali e scorci, campi lunghissimi e dettagli, esterni ed interni, le luci ammorbidite dal cielo velato di nubi e il disegno chiaroscurale delle ombre portate.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage collectif est conçu en hommage à Anne-Marie Châtelet – anciennement professeure d’histoire et de culture architecturales et présidente de la Commission de la recherche et de la pédagogie à l’École nationale supérieure d’architecture de Strasbourg –, qui a fortement défendu, pendant son parcours de chercheure et d’enseignante dans les écoles d’architecture, la place du champ historique et ainsi contribué à développer et à enrichir la recherche en histoire de l’architecture.Sont rassemblés ici près de 40 contributions signées par ses condisciples, actuels ou anciens collègues, vieux amis et jeunes doctorants, étudiants d’antan et collaborateurs d’aujourd’hui. Elles font écho aux principaux thèmes de recherche chers à Anne-Marie Châtelet :- Un premier axe regroupe des textes centrés sur l’histoire d’édifices bâtis aux 19e et 20e siècles en Europe, analysant ainsi l’architecture scolaire, religieuse mais aussi celle du logement ou d’équipements plus exceptionnels, par le biais de méthodes d’étude typo-morphologique.- Le deuxième aborde le milieu et la pratique des architectes, au fil du 20e siècle, moins dans une approche des individus que dans celle des bâtisseurs comme groupe professionnel, voire comme groupe social.- Le troisième axe éclaire des problématiques liées aux échanges, transferts et métissages dans les domaines architectural et urbain.

Summary:
Un changement de paradigme dans la pratique du projet d’urbanisme paysager s’opère actuellement dans un contexte d’urgence climatique : l’acclimatation en est le nouveau modèle. De ce paradigme, des échantillons de formes spatiales émergent et parmi celles-ci, celui de trame fraîche acclimatée. Cette forme de composition offre un contrepoint aux générations précédentes des trames vertes et bleues (TVB). Face au réchauffement climatique, nous franchissons une nouvelle étape, où la question essentielle concerne la convergence entre la recherche, les orientations stratégiques en matière d’atténuation et d’adaptation et les moyens de mise en œuvre possibles dans l’activité de projet d’urbanisme paysager. En prenant comme cas d’étude Lausanne, ce livre tente de répondre à ce défi en réfléchissant à l’implantation au sein de cette ville d’une trame de fraîcheur. L’ouvrage se structure en trois parties qui donnent toutes des outils réplicables dans d’autres contextes, pour d’autres territoires vulnérables : Une lecture cartographique et statistique des formes environnementales lausannoises et une analyse bioclimatique inédite; L’élaboration d’une base conceptuelle et de visions prospectives en 2030 puis 2050 pour accompagner l’installation de la trame de fraîcheur;Un zoom sur une expérience de requalification d’espace public en cours afin de préfigurer l’implantation de dispositifs d’écologie urbaine. Cette dernière partie interroge le processus de projet en donnant la parole aux experts de la ville de Lausanne, et présente un catalogue de références recensant de multiples expériences internationales achevées et sources d’inspiration.

Summary:
Welcome to the 50th issue of The Funambulist. For the very first time, the magazine is published both in its original anglophone version and a brand new francophone edition. As such, it is not innocent that this issue tackles the question of language. The achievements of a generation of activists and politically committed intellectuals to have our (anticolonial, antiracist, queer, feminist, among others) nomenclature surge into public imaginaries, has led to a dilution of this vocabulary’s political meanings. Each contribution of this issue thus proposes a subjective definition of a such a term, the issue acting like a useful glossary to reflect on our struggles.

Summary:
The history of climate change and the history of architecture are connected in many ways. Through a multilayered chronology, "It’s About Time" showcases historical and contemporary building projects such as solar houses, autonomous structures and earth buildings, alongside more than 45 key moments in environmental justice history: among them the first Earth Day, the United Nations conference in Stockholm, the Chernobyl disaster, the Paris Climate Agreements and the European Green Deal. It explores architectural experimentation in the past, depicts the present moment of transition and offers hopeful glimpses of the future. Serving as both a reference and a source of inspiration, this publication is intended for architects, educators, students, scientists or anyone looking to play their part in shaping a more sustainable world. It emphasizes that while the time for change has now arrived, the field of architecture can play a key role in the transitions ahead.
