Summary:
Plus la crise écologique s'aggrave, plus l'écologie devient une idéologie dominante. Elle nous promet un monde « décarboné » grâce au tout-électrique, au tout-numérique et au « nucléaire vert ». Mais capitalisme et écologie sont incompatibles. Le capitalisme repose sur l'exploitation de prolétaires dans des entreprises forcées par la concurrence d'accumuler plus de valeur que leurs rivales. La quête incessante de productivité entraîne surproduction, surconsommation... aux effets destructeurs pour les prolétaires, pour l'humanité et pour la planète. Il n'y aura pas de « révolution écologique » sans révolution sociale qui rompt avec les rapports de classe.

Summary:
Incontournables dans le paysage contemporain de la pensée urbaine, les écrits théoriques d'Igniasi de Solà-Morales n'avaient jusqu'ici jamais été traduits en français. Ce recueil de dix textes recèle pourtant une richesse de vues propres à nourrir toute réflexion sur le rapport entre ville, architecture et territoire, qu'il s'agisse des défis d'hier ou de l'avenir latent de notre civilisation ultra-urbaine. Invitant d'abord à une relecture de l'histoire des théories et de la pratique architecturales depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'auteur, à la fois architecte et historien, considère la ville sous l'angle de son dégagement progressif de la matérialité, et l'envisage comme un ensemble, infini et indéfini, de juxtapositions, de réseaux et de flux. Comment aménager cet espace urbain désormais fluide, sinon « liquide »? qu'y bâtir? selon quels principes?

Summary:
After studying at University College Dublin, Níall McLaughlin moved to London, where in 1990 he set up his own office. Since then, he has developed a solid career, defined by a timeless language and an attentive dialogue with context. The latest issue of AV Monographs takes stock of his career with a selection of twenty of his main works. Featured in chronological order these key projects reflect a commitment to the discipline that makes no distinctions of scale or program. Floor plans of bold geometry and facades of tactile sensuality are as present in the domestic projects of Piper’s End and Goleen as they are in the large buildings for the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, as well as in the civic complexes in London and Limerick, in all of which shines the so very British spirit of honouring the past without ceasing to look in the direction of the future.

The expression “low-rise high-density” refers to the ensembles of grouped housing units that maintain characteristics of the individual home, but whose compactness facilitates collective services and amenities, thereby reducing land consumption. These hybrid projects also generate a variety of housing typologies and forms of agglomeration, opening up more sustainable and(...)

Summary:
The expression “low-rise high-density” refers to the ensembles of grouped housing units that maintain characteristics of the individual home, but whose compactness facilitates collective services and amenities, thereby reducing land consumption. These hybrid projects also generate a variety of housing typologies and forms of agglomeration, opening up more sustainable and ecological alternatives. In this atlas of 50 projects from across the United States, Florian Camai and Mathilde Luguet present their observations alongside essays by French and American researchers specialised in suburban areas – an open reflection on the future of suburban living.

Summary:
Throughout their history, architecture exhibitions have embraced different approaches and constructed other modes of action within the discipline, playing a pivotal role in disseminating, diffusing, and experimenting with architectural culture. This volume looks at curatorial practice in architecture and how ecological issues are addressed in the context of curatorial thinking and exhibition-making. Five architects with a curatorial practice are interviewed (Paola Antonelli, Pedro Gadanho, Paula Nascimento, Maria Otero Verzier, and Paulo Tavares), all of whom contribute to current debates in architecture while exploring how to perceive the main challenges of our world.

Summary:
How can landscape and urban studies more effectively engage in transdisciplinary dialogue, sensuousness and affect, and pluriversal worlds? "Researching otherwise" presents sensory, collaborative, and restitutive methodological tools for crafting new spaces of knowledge production. Through activities such as drawing, photographing, filmmaking, sounding, listening, walking, and mapmaking, these researchers explore regenerative futures in new ways, from non-human companions to visual ethnographic studies with refugees. With contributions by Nitin Bathla, Denise Bertschi, Nancy Couling, Luke Harris, Metaxia Markaki, Bonnie Kate Walker, and more.

Summary:
‘'Amidst the fire, I am not burnt’' is a documentary approach to the iconic landscape shaped by Vesuvius. It investigates the different temporalities, scientific and popular perceptions, historic and present-day photographic representations, and stories inscribed in this cyclical landscape. The book interweaves documentary writing and photography in a varied constellation of subjects and experiences, from derelict quarries, archaeological sites, and souvenirs, to a parking lot, bonfires, and lovers parked along the road at night. As each eruption of the volcano adds a layer on top of the last, Vesuvius continues to sense, store, destroy, shape, and transmit information.

Soviet architectural design often evokes images of brutalism, Stalinist style, and austere, straight-lined concrete blocks. However, objects such as the thousands of derelict bus stops scattered throughout the former Eastern Bloc and Central Asia seem to have a different aesthetic that surpasses the scope of these preconceptions.

Summary:
Soviet architectural design often evokes images of brutalism, Stalinist style, and austere, straight-lined concrete blocks. However, objects such as the thousands of derelict bus stops scattered throughout the former Eastern Bloc and Central Asia seem to have a different aesthetic that surpasses the scope of these preconceptions. Rather than being mass-produced, many of them were created by local architects, students, or artists, and still retain a quiet charm today. Whether distinctively shaped, decorated with beautiful mosaics, or painted in once-bright colours, these bus stops that time forgot are lovingly documented by photographer Ai Hoshino.
