John Pawson was born in 1949 in Halifax, in the north of England. Far removed from the preoccupations of mainstream 1980s architecture, here was work whose roots seemed to extend back through successive expressions of simplicity which have formed a consistent component of both Eastern and Western traditions - from Japanese concepts of Zen to Cistercian monastic(...)

Summary:
John Pawson was born in 1949 in Halifax, in the north of England. Far removed from the preoccupations of mainstream 1980s architecture, here was work whose roots seemed to extend back through successive expressions of simplicity which have formed a consistent component of both Eastern and Western traditions - from Japanese concepts of Zen to Cistercian monastic architecture and the serenely empty churches of the painter Saenredam.

Summary:
This new monograph from TC Cuadernos brings us closer to the recent work of Portuguese architect Nuno Brandão Costa, one of the most interesting contemporary voices in Portuguese architecture. This publication follows issue 90, which we released in 2009 featuring his early works, and now covers a period of intense creative activity and professional consolidation from 2010 to 2023. It is a meticulous journey through fifteen selected works that demonstrate the maturity reached by this architect over the last decade. The works span various typologies and scales, from single-family homes to large complexes. Projects such as the Campanhã Intermodal Terminal and the rehabilitation of the S. João de Deus neighborhood are studied with special attention, showing how Brandão Costa has expanded his field of action towards large-scale urban projects without losing the artisanal quality of the details that characterize his most intimate residential interventions. In all cases, his conceptual coherence, the harmonious relationship of his works with the landscape, and especially the masterful use of elementary geometries, refined volumes, and care for constructive details stand out.

Summary:
Pivot is a new peer-reviewed graduate academic interdisciplinary journal involving the Departments of Art History, Studio Arts and Communication Studies. The Journal is produced out of Concordia University, which presents a unique site for the exploration of interdisciplinarity within the humanities, where the disciplines of Art History, Studio Arts and Communication Studies are continually negotiating shared and divided scholarly territories. Taking our cue from journals that combine art making and academic writing, such as Afterall and LTTR, Pivot recognizes art production as a site for scholarly exploration, and accepts content in the form of academic papers, artist project descriptions, short texts by artists, and image based proposals. Pivot’s unique print format reflects this dual engagement by combining book arts practice with academic journal production.

Summary:
Si notre aujourd’hui est bien un temps de ruines, ces dernières ont une saveur nouvelle. « Ce que peuvent les ruines » fait l’hypothèse d’un devenir ruine comme projet. Il ne s’agit pas d’esthétiser la destruction. Nous souhaitons dépasser la tentation romantique de la contemplation d’un monde finissant et le tragique vaniteux de la célébration des ruines comme formes. Des ruines de quoi ? Des ruines de Rien, s’étonne Bouvard face à la construction faussement détruite de Pécuchet. La ruine, pensée comme une structure qui se déforce et qui, dans un équilibre précaire, laisse advenir l’imprévu, l’indéterminé, se tourne alors vers un avenir radieux. L’architecture y est instable et de second plan. Les ruines de ce numéro, comme les ruines de nos quotidiens, sont examinées pour leur capacité d’agir, ou de laisser agir.

Summary:
Notre époque voit se multiplier les publications promettant de nous apprendre en trois «zooms» comment « travailler sur soi » et gérer intelligemment nos émotions, prévenir le burn out, etc. Mais paradoxalement, les enjeux de santé mentale se diversifient et se multiplient. On parle à présent d’anxiété de performance chez les jeunes, tandis que les femmes et les immigrants sont toujours plus pressurisés par des normes de comportement. Dans ce dossier sur Le mal être pluriel, nous abordons comment nous sommes piégés, mais aussi consentants, par un discours idéologique et des représentations sociales constituant la marque de fabrique de cette ère néolibérale, qui réclame un engagement total au travail, aux études et nous prescrit d’être autonomes, alors que nous sommes surveillés plus que jamais.
