Summary:
Endemic to the Galapagos Islands, Sicyos villosus was collected by Charles Darwin during his journey on the Beagle between 1831 and 1836, but it is now extinct. After reading that a group of contemporary scientists were hoping to de-extinct Sicyos villosus using biotechnologies, Justine Blau began to investigate what it means to bring a species back to life. She undertook a journey to understand the desire for de-extinction and just what it was that science was now trying to save. Through her encounters with researchers and scientists in herbaria and seed banks, as well as her travels to the Galapagos, she uncovered a matrix of contradictions that radically challenge the modern scientific conservation complex.

Summary:
Artiste décorateur, architecte d'intérieur, créateur de modèles de série, Pierre Cruège (1913-2003) fait partie de la génération de designers français formée à l'Ecole des Beaux Arts - dont il sort major à Bordeaux - dans les années 30. Initialement formé par René Buthaud (peintre et céramiste), il intègre en 1935 l'atelier de René Prou, à Paris, où il entame une carrière parisienne en collaborant à ses côtés aux stands de l'Exposition universelle de 1937. Imprégné par cette culture décorative, Pierre Cruège adopte les valeurs du Style 1940 consistant à réconcilier la stricte rigueur du Mouvement moderne avec l'individualisme plus léger du décorateur qui "orchestre le tout en ce sens qu'il harmonise l'ensemble, en tenant compte tout à la fois des lignes, des volumes et des couleurs" . Quand il quitte l'atelier Prou en 1938 pour s'installer à son compte, il signe ses premiers décors dans ce goût. Après guerre, parallèlement à l'élitisme de son métier de décorateur, il s'intéresse à des approches plus démocratiques, s'impliquant dans la production industrielle et la reconstruction.

Summary:
This issue features the Swiss architecture firm known as EMI, established in 2005 by architects Ron Edelaar, Elli Mosayebi, and Christian Inderbitzin. Their works span exhibitions, refurbishments, new buildings, and urban planning, but housing remains their primary interest as they examine and reinterpret the small-scale components that contribute to human agency and enjoyment within a dwelling. The 21 projects featured here range from gardens and landscapes to villas and high-rises. In all of them, EMI embeds rational design choices with notions of poetry, as evidenced in the Brüggliäcker Housing Complex in Zurich, Stockmattstrasse Townhouses in Baden, and others.
