Summary:
''Arctic Practices: Design for a Changing World'' emerges at a critical juncture wherein the very stability of Arctic ecosystems hangs in a precarious balance induced, almost entirely, by humans. This volume assembles forty-six contributors—designers, educators, artists, photographers, filmmakers, some Indigenous, some residents, and some visitors to the Circumpolar North—to create a polyvocal assembly of Arctic practices. ''Arctic Practices'' stands as both documentation and provocation—an attempt to record current practices while simultaneously imagining new possibilities for Arctic design in an age of crisis. By bringing diverse voices and perspectives together, this publication hopes to contribute to an emerging discourse that recognizes the urgency of climate action and the necessity of anticolonial practice in Arctic contexts.

Building on Jeanne Gang’s recent book of the same name, "The art of architectural grafting" explores her concept for bringing new life to existing buildings through strategic additions that expand on structures’ original capacity and minimise their carbon footprint.

Summary:
Building on Jeanne Gang’s recent book of the same name, "The art of architectural grafting" explores her concept for bringing new life to existing buildings through strategic additions that expand on structures’ original capacity and minimise their carbon footprint. The horticultural practice of grafting connects two separate plants, one old and one new, so they can grow and flourish as one. This centuries-old technique is still employed today in the quest for more fruitful, tastier and more resilient plant varieties. Gang’s concept of architectural grafting applies the sensibility and principles of this approach to design at multiple scales. Rather than demolition and new construction, this approach focuses on the transformation and expansion of existing structures, thereby preserving both historic fabric and material resources.

Summary:
Over five days, some 60 residents of a northern village teamed with designers from southern Quebec to conceive and build an outdoor community pavilion that activates a central recreational area. Most housing and civic buildings in the communities emerge from and stand like physical markers of Euro-Canadian values. The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada has begun a discourse on design in northern Canadian communities, but discussions continue to dwell on housing and civic buildings. A strong need exists to open conversations about design and the public realm in northern villages, which this project tries to address, creating a unique experience in which northern and southern groups could apply a 'hacking mindset' to reimagine community spaces.

Summary:
Black Spaces thematises the phenomenon of a space without light. How can such a seemingly limitless space be grasped? How can space be conceived and designed if the parameters actually contradict the spatial dimensions? A project group at the Technical University of Munich has examined the topic from different perspectives. Conversations with the architects Donatella Fioretti, Astrid Staufer and Francesca Torzo explore this architectural phenomenon. Additional brief bon mots and quotations come from architects, artists and filmmakers, who illuminate the subject very differently. This book shows the results of the design work using selected examples that accompany the textual content of the book as a separate storyline.
