Summary:
During the crucifixion Christ is said to have sustained 5 wounds: 1 in each hand and foot from the nails of the cross, and the 5th was formed when the side of Christ was pierced by the sword of Longinus. These 5 wounds became objects of specific veneration in the late Middle Ages and in manuscripts the side wound is usually depicted as a mandorla: an almond/diamond/vulvic(...)

Summary:
During the crucifixion Christ is said to have sustained 5 wounds: 1 in each hand and foot from the nails of the cross, and the 5th was formed when the side of Christ was pierced by the sword of Longinus. These 5 wounds became objects of specific veneration in the late Middle Ages and in manuscripts the side wound is usually depicted as a mandorla: an almond/diamond/vulvic shape, generally isolated from Christ's body and oriented vertically on the page. It is the vulvic shape of these images, and their implications, that this publication takes as its focus. Images of the side wound were used as talismans, one could gain magical protections by looking at them, touching, ingesting, or wrapping them around your body, and they are often found on birth girdles: rolls of parchment with magical formulae for easing birth. Mystics of this time speak of drinking from the wound, kissing it, entering it, living within it, and subsequently being birthed from the wound. The vulvic representation of the wound produced a state where Christ was seen as neither fully male, nor fully female, but rather as an unstably sexed figure, asserting a constant fluidity. Through this side wound Christ became a mother, lover, object of erotic desire, and a portal for the whole universe to emerge from.

Summary:
Geomancy is an ancient form of divination that is practiced by making a series of random marks that are then counted into sets of odd or even sequences. Following a binary logic, the odd or even collections result in a possible sixteen figures that can be used for interpretation. The divinatory reading applies a process of mathematical recursion to these figures in order(...)

A magic square is a grid of numbers, arranged in such a way that the sum along any row, column, or corner to corner diagonal is the same. Magic squares are found throughout antiquity and by the time they had arrived in Renaissance Europe, by way of the translation of Arabic magical texts, 7 magic squares were known, starting with a 3x3 and ending with a 9x9 square.

A magic square is a grid of numbers, arranged in such a way that the sum along any row, column, or corner to corner diagonal is the same. Magic squares are found throughout antiquity and by the time they had arrived in Renaissance Europe, by way of the translation of Arabic magical texts, 7 magic squares were known, starting with a 3x3 and ending with a 9x9 square. Due to their numerical balance, these squares were seen as reflective of an inherent balance in the cosmos, and were linked to the 7 known planetary bodies of the time: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon. Through the magic of the numbers in each square, radiating forces associated with each planet could be accessed and directed by way of a talismanic sigil.

Through a series of fragments we encounter the minor characters from paintings and novels; the minor anecdotes appended to the overarching ideology of state-hood; and the minor details, usually overlooked, that can become a great revealer of falsehood. Ranging from Bruegel The Elder to Jane Eyre, Y-Dang Troeung to Dostoevsky, we see 'the minor' played out in multiple ways out of the corner of our eye. Here Chhay proposes 'the minor' to be that which quietly disrupts the main narrative, and as we re-orient our focus to the outskirts we are given the opportunity to think through a different set of stories: the fan fictions, the non-player characters, and the un-heroic gestures.

With the aid of a pendulum she applied a process she termed “polarization” whereby the form of the flowers were altered in order to produce additional blooms following a numerical sequence.

Summary:
To mark the 50th anniversary of the death of Alvar Aalto, one of the most important figures in architectural history, this exhibition will showcase the extensive body of work he created with his two wives, Aino and Elissa. The Aaltos revolutionised the humanist aspect of modern architecture by grounding it in an organic connection to nature, producing countless designs in the process. Between the two world wars, the Aaltos helped to create an identity for the young Finnish nation. They participated in the International Congresses of Modern Architecture and the Paris and New York exhibitions and designed masterpieces such as the Viipuri Library (now in Russia), Villa Mairea in Finland, Baker House in the United States and Maison Carré in France. Following the introduction of antibiotics, their Paimio Sanatorium set an example to the world by demonstrating how spaces could be made healthier and more accessible, through studies of solar incidence, natural ventilation and silent washbasins. Sanatorium is one of the thirteen Aalto-designed projects currently proposed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The book accompanying the exhibition features a preface by António Choupina, director of the Architecture Department at the Serralves Foundation and curator of the exhibition, and Jukka Savolainen, director of the Alvar Aalto Museum. It also includes contributions from architect Álvaro Siza and Juhani Pallasmaa, architect, professor emeritus at Aalto University, Helsinki, and writer.

Habillage euphémique d’une pratique ancienne, la démolition, dont la brutalité s’abat plus souvent qu’à leur tour sur les maisons du peuple, il sert aussi à désigner un ensemble de processus, a priori vertueux, de sauvegarde, tri et recyclage des matériaux. Derrière l’ambiguïté et les glissements de sens, il y a la réalité d’un outil de communication destiné à faire accepter des choix d’aménagement dont la finalité ultime reste la création ou la restauration de valeur foncière ou immobilière. Au rebours de cet exercice d’illusionniste, le présent ouvrage entend prendre le mot de déconstruction au sérieux. Les enjeux contemporains nous y invitent. Si l’horizon du présent et de l’avenir des villes reste indexé sur le récit enchanté (ou angoissant…) du devenir métropolitain, une autre réalité s’impose à bas bruit, celle de la décroissance démographique que la scénarisation parfois racoleuse du déclin des villes de la « Rust Belt » américaine contribue paradoxalement à occulter. Loin de constituer une exception spectaculaire, le rétrécissement urbain tend à discrètement se banaliser et à devenir l’ordinaire de nombre de villes de taille et de nature diverses. Dans ce contexte, la déconstruction entendue comme la réduction raisonnée du volume bâti, peut ouvrir sur l’opportunité de reconfigurer positivement des espaces urbains souvent hâtivement et négligemment construits, au bénéfice des habitants encore là. La déconstruction s’affirme alors comme une autre manière de faire la ville, soucieuse de la qualité de vie de ceux et celles qui l’habitent et la pratiquent quels qu’ils ou elles soient. Ce sont les perspectives de cette forme de réactualisation du droit à la ville que se propose d’explorer l’ouvrage en croisant les contributions des chercheuses et chercheurs avec les témoignages des acteurs/actrices et praticiennes et praticiens. Revisitant les démolitions de « tours et de barres HLM » au prisme de l’expérience des bailleurs sociaux en contexte détendu, explorant les choix et les logiques de quelques opérations pionnières dans l’urbain décroissant, portant un regard critique sur les limites et contraintes des pratiques de déconstruction raisonnée pour déboucher enfin sur la relation d’une expérience de mise en application de la réflexion sur la ville décroissante dans l’enseignement du projet, l’ouvrage entend entrainer ses lectrices et lecteurs sur les chemins incertains d’une manière inédite de penser et faire la ville, susceptible de répondre avec justice et justesse aux défis du monde qui vient.
