Summary:
At the heart of "Is a River Alive?" is a single, transformative idea: that rivers are not mere matter for human use, but living beings, who should be recognized as such in both imagination and law. Macfarlane takes the reader on a mind-expanding global journey into the history, futures, people and places of the ancient, urgent concept. Around the world, rivers are dying(...)

Summary:
At the heart of "Is a River Alive?" is a single, transformative idea: that rivers are not mere matter for human use, but living beings, who should be recognized as such in both imagination and law. Macfarlane takes the reader on a mind-expanding global journey into the history, futures, people and places of the ancient, urgent concept. Around the world, rivers are dying from pollution, drought and damming. But a powerful movement is also underway to recognize the lives and the rights of rivers, and to re-animate our relationships with these vast, mysterious presences whose landscapes we share. The young "rights of nature" movement has lit up activists, artists, law-makers and politicians across six continents—and become the focus for revolutionary thinking about rivers in particular.

A profound social change can be observed in the areas of mobility, work, and trade, as well as in the practice of faith, especially in cities. As a result, certain building typologies such as petrol stations, offices, shopping centers, cinemas, and churches are being used less, thus becoming increasingly obsolete and contributing to the obsolescence of the city.

Summary:
A profound social change can be observed in the areas of mobility, work, and trade, as well as in the practice of faith, especially in cities. As a result, certain building typologies such as petrol stations, offices, shopping centers, cinemas, and churches are being used less, thus becoming increasingly obsolete and contributing to the obsolescence of the city. Three strategies must be considered for the efficient transformation of these structures: the conversion of existing architecture and the preservation of the gray energy they embody; the maximization of land use; and the strengthening of ecological functions to improve the urban microclimate and the quality of living space.

Summary:
Neoptolemos Michaelides (1920–92) was a pioneer of modern architecture in Cyprus. His designs are based on the desire to develop principles that combine modern architecture with traditional Cypriot construction methods—and the knowledge preserved therein regarding the choice of materials, geographical orientation, natural climate control, and the internal organization of buildings. These principles are rooted in his studies of Western philosophy and even more in his affinity with Eastern philosophical thought, especially the spiritual importance of a harmonious relationship with nature. Between his respect for pure, natural materials and his awareness of elemental forces, his buildings seem both to worship nature and to evoke the Shintoism of Japan. In this first-ever book on the architecture of Neoptolemos Michaelides, the distinguished American architectural historian Kenneth Frampton presents his work in two essays. The first, illustrated with historical photos and documents, is dedicated to thirteen of Michaelides’ most important buildings. The second takes a close look at Michaelides’ own home in Nicosia. New photographs and plan drawings created just for the book on a 1:100 scale document this extraordinary house in detail. The beautiful volume is rounded out with a concise biography of Michaelides.

Summary:
''SHIFT: Architecture in Times of Radical Change'' is published in conjunction with the sixth Chicago Architecture Biennial (CAB 2025) under the artistic direction of Florencia Rodriguez. In a world defined by crisis and uncertainty, where architects are researching, relearning, and reimagining, the volume marks not only a change in direction but also presents provocative inquiries about a redefinition in the substance and fundamentals of the field. It is an invitation to think with others, to project with intention, and to set new grounds for the interpretation and design of our built environments. In the same spirit, the book unfolds the many faces of ''SHIFT'' through collective, multilayered, and multidimensional conversations, visual essays, and manifestos. CAB 2025 participants’ voices are brought to print through a transcript of a five-hour conversation marathon that tackled topics such as new realism, the magic in the ordinary, pleasures in the urban, and the need to critically shift architecture’s language, as well as a repository of manifestos exploring other possible worlds. Beyond the exhibition, ''SHIFT: Architecture in Times of Radical Change'' also calls upon practitioners from different fields to discuss the current state of education in architecture schools, the challenges of material culture, the future of housing, and exhibitions as devices for change.

Summary:
In the summer of 2025, nine Western States formally recognized the State of Palestine. This State recognition and the resurrection of the moribund so-called “two-State solution” is combined with a criminalization of calls to liberate Palestine “from the river to the sea.” This issue asks: can liberation ever take the form of a state? Borrowing a phrase Sophia Azeb used multiple times in the history of The Funambulist (since our first conversation in 2014), The No-State Solution intends to revisit this concept in the context of Palestine in challenging the very idea of “solution” (Sophia Azeb & Rebecca Gross), but also in other liberation struggles such as the Kurdish (Havin Guneser) and Zapatista (Linda Quiquivix) ones. It warns us against state dreams, such as the ones implemented in Sierra Leone and Liberia (what William C. Anderson calls “Black Zionism” in his contribution), and questions the differences between State and community forms of governance, in particular when it comes to healthcare, as made evident in Cuba and Venezuela (Lisbeth Moya González). Finally, it envisions borderless, stateless futures in Aotearoa (Kai-rui Cheng) and Kanaky (Florenda Nirikani). As for the artwork on the cover, it is an original creation by Samir Harb.

Summary:
In 1906, America commenced a major railroad modernization project, driven by massive industrial era investment and development. A lasting symbol of this time in history remains today: the imposing coaling towers that pepper the country and which once held the coal that powered steam locomotives. Over the course of five years and 20,000 miles, photographer Jeff Brouws documented these towers. "Silent Monoliths" tells their story. The towers, built of concrete, a modern material with historical roots traceable to the Roman aqueducts, were constructed to replace aging (and less fire-retardant and less efficient) wooden coaling wharves and chutes. As the railroads transitioned from steam to diesel in the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s, most of these coaling towers slipped into obsolescence—some demolished, others "retired-in-place" and left standing.

Summary:
radition and precedent inspire invention, architectural drawing, and media practice. This issue of AD presents a series of encounters with printed drawings, leading to their transformation and reimagination. Archival media from the John Nichols Printmakers & Publishers Collection, located at the A83 gallery in New York City, becomes the foundation for a series of new works by contemporary architects. Collectively exhibited at A83 under the title ''The Sixth Somewhat Annual Meeting'', these drawings explore ways archival artifacts can be newly activated, how intricate material objects invite non-normative readings, and how shifts in media forms produce complex differential effects. The contributors address these concerns through close engagement with specific works, expanding the conversation between drawing, archive, and publication.
