Summary:
Across a vast span of human history, in our expanding and evolving capacities for both construction and reverence, there has been an interplay between biomorphic and geometric form related to situating ourselves on a cosmic spectrum.

Summary:
Across a vast span of human history, in our expanding and evolving capacities for both construction and reverence, there has been an interplay between biomorphic and geometric form related to situating ourselves on a cosmic spectrum. Sotirios Kotoulas is an architect immersed in the possibility of these forms, and the materials that render them. In his practice, symbolic shapes, materials, and colors can channel energy, and electromagnetic forces can be tuned and transmitted. In turn, these dynamisms can be mapped, be traced, and become form generators on their own. Sotirios approaches these concerns from multiple angles simultaneously, from conceptual exploration to the assembly of viable structures. As an Artist-in-residence at Dartmouth, he's delved deeper into two projects on this spectrum.

Tourism does more than transforming spaces and forcing emotions: its geographies also conceal a persisting power that captures the imagination. In their operational sturdiness, tourismscapes appear intractable and inert, making their alternative renderings almost unthinkable.

Summary:
Tourism does more than transforming spaces and forcing emotions: its geographies also conceal a persisting power that captures the imagination. In their operational sturdiness, tourismscapes appear intractable and inert, making their alternative renderings almost unthinkable. It feels uncanny to picture islands and their coasts freed from programs of leisure. But in recent years, the exhaustion of people and landscapes has brought forth a renewed imperative to think outside this ubiquitous extractive industry. Through essays, pieces of fiction, and visual references, this book discusses both the difficulty and the necessity of disrupting the monocultural imaginations of tourism. To escape the devouring vortex of its sticky nature and messianic promises, the cultural and political work necessary is not only this of negation and resistance, but also that of bold re-conceptualizations and re-imaginings.

Summary:
Lamentation practices can empower the potentiality to defy patriarchal orders ruling everyday life. Always a collective process, lamentation inscribes loss and vulnerability by tending bridges towards the world of the dead and the more-than-human. Gestures such as singing or breathing, gathering, and performances that exceed rationality can inspire a renewed approach to life and death, rural and urban. After all, amidst ongoing processes of extinction, how to mourn a queer activist, a Roma father, a burnt forest, an exiled body, and a ship sunken in the Mediterranean? How to experience loss not as something individual, but within an expanded continuum of pain? How to explore emotions beyond the private sphere? Through case studies and narrations, in different times and geographies surrounding the Aegean Sea, this book amplifies the echoes of collective tears to invigorate contemporary mourning practices that claim public space by grief, rage, and affect.

Summary:
Aggressively rebounding after recessions and the pandemic, sprawling landscapes of tourism in the Mediterranean continue to build upon the iconic spatial typology of sea & sun vacationing: the beach. But behind the leisurely scattered bodies and the quiescent summer shores, beachfronts are assembled as intensely ordered infrastructures for the heavy machineries of tourism. Approaching the beach as an operational socio-technical landscape, this book unpacks stories of construction, programming, and maintenance: from traces of moving sands in Lefkada island to mirror postwar developments in Delos and Mykonos islands, and from historic and bodily excursions to workings of the Athenian riviera to rituals of eco-certification under Blue Flags. The texts frame the beach as a machine, one with protocols of function and metabolic needs, studying how it directs the capture of land and bodies, while establishing forms of environmental control.

Summary:
Au début des années 1980, alors qu'il était jeune photographe, Serge Jauvin a passé un long séjour chez les Innus d'Unamen Shipu (La Romaine) dans la famille d'Hélène et de William-Mathieu Mark. Il a reçu d'eux le témoignage exceptionnel de leur passage du nomadisme à la sédentarité et l'a documenté à travers son journal et ses photographies. Cela lui a permis d'illustrer à la fois la vie dans la communauté et celle sur le Nutshimit, le territoire ancestral. Ce récit sur les derniers nomades de la Côte-Nord n'est pas le regard extérieur d'un étranger. Au contraire, il constitue un témoignage intime du savoir-être et du savoir-faire innu. Il est une empreinte indélébile qui témoignera aux générations futures de la contribution d'un peuple millénaire de l'Amérique septentrionale «qui vivait ainsi».

Summary:
n the years following China’s Cultural Revolution, architecture played an active role in the country’s reintegration into the global economy and capitalist world. Looking at the ways in which political and social reform transformed Chinese architecture and how, in turn, architecture gave structure to the reforms, Cole Roskam underlines architecture’s unique ability to shape space as well as behavior. Roskam traces how foreign influences like postmodernism began to permeate Chinese architectural discourse in the 1970s and 1980s and how figures such as Kevin Lynch, I. M. Pei, and John Portman became key forces in the introduction of Western educational ideologies and new modes of production. Offering important insights into architecture’s relationship to the politics, economics, and diplomacy of post-Mao China, this unprecedented interdisciplinary study examines architecture’s multivalent status as an art, science, and physical manifestation of cultural identity.
