Summary:
Jos Jansen’s artistic work interrogates the relationship between people, science, technology and nature. In "Universe", he visually examines fascinating and groundbreaking research topics in the ‘beta domain’, such as gravitational waves, new galaxies, soft robotic matter and the latest DNA technology. In this almost incomprehensible world, Jansen constructs a parallel and artistic universe, using his own images, found footage, and data visualisations. 'Universe' is a book full of traces referring to a world where science, fantasy and art meet.

Summary:
The story of apples begins in an unexpected place: with bears. While popular culture likes to link honey with these creatures, DNA evidence shows that it might be more accurate for Winnie the Pooh to be munching on an ancestor of Red Delicious. And while apples are modern America’s second favorite fruit (after “berries”), their origins lie in ancient China. These are just(...)

Summary:
The story of apples begins in an unexpected place: with bears. While popular culture likes to link honey with these creatures, DNA evidence shows that it might be more accurate for Winnie the Pooh to be munching on an ancestor of Red Delicious. And while apples are modern America’s second favorite fruit (after “berries”), their origins lie in ancient China. These are just some of the remarkable details that arise from Barrie E. Juniper and David J. Mabberley’s "The Extraordinary Story of the Apple". Written by two leading botanical experts, it’s a complete natural and cultural history of the apple.

Summary:
This special issue empowers and encourages the reader to choose paths, as if walking through the city, an intellectual dérive. Rather than presenting a book of pictures, its strategy provides a basic, research-driven bibliography to assist the further exploration of ideas. Opening with an introduction by Darko Radovic, it goes on to closely examine the multifaceted Tokyo metropolis from an array of perspectives and themes. These include shared housing, public bathhouses, pseudo-public space, urban spectacle, infills and alleyways, graffiti and street art, stacking historical times, hidden poverty, and more. Radovic, Kengo Kuma, and Hidenobu Jinnai discuss the city’s urban DNA.

Summary:
Architettura è mestiere o spazio di autonomia del pensiero critico? E se è arte, come si configura il suo processo creativo e “produttivo”? In quella contraddizione le avanguardie storiche hanno dibattuto per affermarsi, spesso costruendo ideologie che la critica ha svelato, soprattutto quella degli anni settanta dello IUAV, poi ripresa da I. de Solà-Morales, dai gruppi americani di “Oppositions” e di “Any”. Il saggio ripercorre le principali fasi di quel dibattito — che l’autore considera ormai esaurito — e auspica un ritorno alle origini dell’atto creativo che l’Architettura comunque rappresenta, anche in assenza di quelle “avanguardie” che gli architetti hanno da sempre (avuto) nel loro DNA.

Summary:
Modern urban terraced houses or row houses emerged in Europe from the 17th century onwards. Usually two to three storeys high and with a garden at the back, they formed the traditional urban block.

Summary:
Modern urban terraced houses or row houses emerged in Europe from the 17th century onwards. Usually two to three storeys high and with a garden at the back, they formed the traditional urban block. In Brussels, this bourgeois form of housing took on a particularly varied and inspiring form – including the well-known Art Nouveau residences – and forms the DNA of the city to this day. This publication analyses 100 selected examples illustrating the emergence of the terraced house and its further development in other forms of housing. The result is a broad panorama and a history of the architecture and development of the city of Brussels with its particularly heterogenous cityscape.
