This book brings together fifteen projects by the French architect Jean-Christophe Quinton carried out between 2002 and 2021. The architectural projects presented are all isolated in remote locations, so the topography and the panorama are central to Quinton’s formal and creative process. The observation drawing enriches the information of the first visual contact with these places, endowing it with temporality. The project drawing is an exploration of their complexity, achieving a synthesis and discarding non-essential details. From the drawings spring the rules, the dimensions and the geometries that will constitute the system of things built or buildable

Summary:
People in trouble laughing pushed to the ground. Soldiers leaning, pointing, reaching. Woman sweeping. Balloons escaping. Coffin descending. Boys standing. Grieving. Chair balancing. Children smoking. Embracing. Creatures barking. Cars burning. Helicopters hovering. Faces. Human figures. Shapes. Birds. Structures left standing and falling... The Belfast Exposed Archive occupies a small room on the first floor at 23 Donegal Street and contains over 14,000 black-and-white contact sheets, documenting the Troubles in Northern Ireland. These are photographs taken by professional photo-journalists and 'civilian' photographers, chronicling protests, funerals and acts of terrorism as well as the more ordinary stuff of life: drinking tea; kissing girls; watching trains. Belfast Exposed was founded in 1983 as a response to concern over the careful control of images depicting British military activity during the Troubles. The marks on the surface of the contact strips – across the image itself – allude to the presence of many visitors. These include successive archivists, who have ordered, catalogued and re-catalogued this jumble of images. For many years the archive was also made available to members of the public, and sometimes they would deface their own image with a marker pen, ink or scissors. So, in addition to the marks made by generations of archivists, photo editors, legal aides and activists, the traces of these very personal obliterations are also visible. They are the gestures of those who wished to remain anonymous.

The re-evaluation of Gocho’s oeuvre began at the end of the 1980s and continues today. This not only concerns his personal story but also the fact that the allusions to various social phenomena and “edges” portrayed in his works deeply resonate with many people at the core of their being. This impressive overview features Gocho’s photographic series ‘Self and Others’ (1977), ‘Familiar Street Scenes (1981), and ‘Childhood’ (1983), alongside his spiritual and abstract artworks.

It is the mandatory minimum distance for face-to-face contact between persons, and can vary slightly depending on the jurisdiction. Rather than asserting a diagnosis of our contemporary global emergency, this issue offers perspectives from architectural history and theory. From the great plague of Venice to cholera in the industrialising city, and from the human placenta to the 1960s bubble or the office of today, here a broad range of reflections on contagion, disease, and health can be found.
