Summary:
The ‘Intercalations’ series is an experimental foray exploring the structure of the book as a potential curatorial space. This third instalment, co-edited by Anna-Sophie Springer and Etienne Turpin, unfolds an itinerant encounter with 19th-century European naturalists in the Malay world, where the theory of evolution by natural selection emerged alongside less celebrated concerns about mass extinction and climate change. By re-considering the condition of colonial science in the tropics, we may find particular relevance for confronting forms of neo-colonisation in the Anthropocene. With contributions by George Beccaloni, Lucy Davis, Paulo Tavares, Rachel Thompson, and several others.

Summary:
This volume focuses on selected villas and their gardens in France and Italy from the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries. Interdisciplinary and fundamentally contextualizing in approach, the essays examine the relationship between landscape and court culture and statecraft; villas in their broader territorial setting; landscape and representation; gender and the garden; and the social history of garden construction, among other topics. Providing an overview of the new directions that are currently taken in cultural landscape studies, "Villas and Gardens in Early Modern Italy and France" also places these sites within the context of European intellectual history, material culture studies, and cultural landscape studies.

Through the presentation of an international research project funded by the European Union, on the way people diagnosed with autism live, the book brings to the attention of Architectural Design a theme hitherto mainly addressed by other sectors of knowledge and design. Taking into consideration not only the assumed deficits but also the meaning-making skills and narratives of persons diagnosed with autism, the relationship between architecture and autism or, more generally, neurodivergences, shows its potential to expand architecture’s assumptions and possibilities rather than limiting them, by transcending the most widely-held common places and conventions.

Moderno examines how design transformed the Latin American domestic landscape in a period marked by major stylistic developments and dramatic social and political change. Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela entered an expansive period of economic growth in the late 1940s which was accompanied by the purposeful modernization of major cities and the conscious importation of the International Style. This volume explores how the period’s influx of European and North American architects, designers, artists and entrepreneurs in Latin America influenced a generation of local architects and designers beginning to see themselves as active players in the creation of modern national identities.

The parallels between her compositions and aspects of European surrealism was purely coincidental at first, but after meeting Shuzo Takiguchi, the leader of the surrealist movement in Japan, her keen sensitivity to shape and distinct feminine sensibility evolved further. She began to use photos to form backgrounds to her images, in which buildings, landscapes, and other elements combine to create bizarre and mysterious spaces where dramas unfold. Her expressive fragments, mementos of society and fashion which in turn reflect the era, are a major element in her creativity.
