Montée des eaux, pénurie en eau potable, disparition inquiétante de la faune et de la flore... : "La maison brûle ! " Si ce cri d'alerte date déjà de 2002, nous n'avons plus le temps "de regarder ailleurs". Il est urgent pour notre survie de changer dès maintenant nos modes de vie qui offensent la Terre et de les mettre enfin en cohésion avec l'ensemble des écosystèmes. Dans cette course effrénée contre la montre, quel rôle peut jouer l'architecture ? Comment construire peut-il signifier instaurer une nouvelle relation de l'homme à la planète ? Pour sa 8e édition, le concours Mini Maousse s'engage dans cette réflexion en appelant les jeunes créateurs à concevoir une aquabane : une petite cabane (moins de 50 m2) flottant entre deux rives, qui soit respectueuse de l'environnement et de ses usages. Inscrites dans le champ plus large de constructions contemporaines réalisées sur l'eau, ces créations invitent l'architecture à prendre le large, à imaginer de nouvelles voies pour l'habitat de demain : face à la maison qui brûle pourquoi pas une maison qui flotte ?

Summary:
''Archive of Forgetfulness'' is a catalogue of the pan-African digital exhibition and podcast series which ran from September 2020 and December 2021 at archiveofforgetfulness.com. The publication acts as a physical translation of the collection of work online, and opens up wider questions around archives, memory and forgetfulness. The project includes the work of fifty-six artists, cultural producers, curators, creative thinkers and researchers from the African continent and diaspora. The catalogue speaks to the four parts of this larger project, namely an eight-part podcast series, twenty-two art works submitted in response to an open call, five essays and six regionally curated projects. As a collection of work centred on the African continent, the various contributors interrogate archival gestures, raise questions on personal and political histories that emerge via infrastructures of mobility, and suggest ways of living and remembering for alternative possible futures. In these works, archival labour and memory work are understood as deeply political, personal and speculative.

London-based ecoLogicStudio focuses on climate and carbon neutrality, and how photosynthesis can be incorporated into architecture. Atelier LUMA is the research design branch of LUMA Arles, mapping and identifying the local resources of the unique bioregion of Camargue to build its own studio. Finally, the Ithaca, New York–based Jenny Sabin Studio uses theory and knowledge from biology and mathematics to help develop new digital tools and structures that work in interaction with people and nature. This catalog highlights each firm’s most important projects alongside three conversations between the studio founders and an expert architectural

Led by Edward P. Bass Distinguished Visiting Architecture Fellow Marc de La Bruyère and Claire Weisz founding principal of WXY Architecture Students of the Yale School of Architecture sought to investigate and propose history-conscious proposals for housing in Edmonton, Canada, a city poised for future economic growth. The students assessed how climate, economic forces, and urban contexts impacted the composition of housing typologies over time in various contexts and then focused on “Gateway Sites” in Edmonton. The students created proposals that utilized innovative housing schemes and applied socially responsible real estate development to form solutions for local ecological, social, and marketing challenges.

Summary:
This project began with an essay on the "McMansion" phenomenon, and it grew to become a meditation on the assorted different building types that are found in every American city and suburb. While it’s true that good buildings do exist for each of those categories, they are very much the exception, these buildings more typically ranging from dull to assertively ugly. The book is meant to be a fairly pitiless and revealing look at this "vast wasteland," with an architect’s hat on but without resort to the profession’s fads and verbiages. Several natural categories inform the organization of the contents, including commercial, residential, and institutional, even including cars and other manifestations of "architecture on the move" that have also lost their way in stylistic terms. The writing includes capsule histories of many of the building types included, plus some lesser-known facts and some sidebars on sociocultural aspects which make up much of one’s experience of these places. Stylistically, a bit of an acerbic tone makes for diverting as well as informative reading.

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.

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.
