With offices located in five continents, these young architects work in underprivileged contexts, proving that scarcity of means can stimulate technical inventiveness and community participation, and become the basis for a responsible architecture where the vocation of service does not exclude beauty and emotion. From Norway and Germany to Burkina Faso, and from Paraguay to Australia passing through India or Thailand, these studios have built housing, rural schools or social centers with an extraordinary economy of means, admirable adaptation to collective needs and exemplary material execution.

''Bernard Plossu: The Still Hour'' gathers 106 images taken over the course of 30 years from Plossu’s travels in the South of France, Spain, Greece, Italy and Turkey. In these black-and-white snapshots, the omnipresent white light eclipses people in a visual exercise that reflects on the real dimension of landscapes and architectures; the images shape a timeless space in an almost surrealistic, dreamlike journey through time and light.

Paying particular attention to how race and empire are implicated in the creation and display of national narratives, the contributing historians, anthropologists, and other scholars delve into representations of contested histories at such “sites” as a British Library exhibition on the East India Company, a Rio de Janeiro shantytown known as “the cradle of samba,” the Ellis Island immigration museum, and high-school history textbooks in Ecuador.

Summary:
"Trees, Time, Architecture!" marks an evolutionary step from shaping objects towards designing processes. The volume brings together a variety of views on the relationship between trees and architecture, urban spaces, modernism, politics, feminism, and cultural values. This collage of historical, research-based and discourse-related perspectives looks at how trees can be preserved, used, and appreciated in the Anthropocene. It highlights historic examples of growing architecture, such as the living root bridges of the Khasi people in India, the accommodation of trees in urban housing and public spaces, novel approaches to design and construction with living trees, as well as trees as a resource for building material.

Featuring experimental voices in contemporary curatorial research, more than a dozen authors from different generations look with scepticism at both the effects of globalisation within today’s artistic scene and the latest premises of so-called de-globalisation. Because, despite everything, the current model of art continues to be very similar to that of an institution capable of determining the integration or exclusion of minorities as a majoritarian measure.
