Summary:
Le journaliste Olivier Namias et le photographe Luc Boegly croisent leurs deux regards sur le travail réalisé entre 1970 et 2008 par l'architecte Jean-Patrick Fortin dans la commune de Caprino Veronese en Italie. Entre 1970 et 2008, Jean-Patrick Fortin va concevoir une villa, une officine de pharmacie et une maison de ville dans la commune de Caprino Veronese, pour le compte de Carolina Agosti. Un même maître d'ouvrage et un même concepteur pour trois projets racontant chacun un état de l'architecture, affirmant des positions spécifiques face à leur contexte, à la matérialité, l'organisation sociale. À l'unité de lieu répondent trois propositions, cimentées par la même volonté de faire émerger à travers le projet la force de l'architecture moderne.

Summary:
The book "Visible: Art as policies for care. Socially engaged art (2010–Ongoing)" was born from the editors' enduring curatorial research into long-term situated art projects that exist within the social sphere, beyond the logic of the traditional art system, confronting unjust systems, and prefiguring novel visions for living together. The socially engaged art projects collected here hold a significant place in the constantly evolving trans-local art scene of the past two decades, and form a lens through which to observe changing realities and their urgencies; they redefine the concept of art in light of current climatic, political, and social changes and foster the dematerialization of the artwork in processes that become policies of culture and care.

Summary:
This is the book that Canadians must read to understand, and solve, our housing crisis. Hundreds of thousands of Canadians exist on the edge. Renters fear eviction, homeowners feel trapped, and both are vulnerable to becoming homeless with a single stroke of misfortune. Unaffordable housing in Canada is tearing communities apart. Rising prices force long-time residents to move elsewhere, while established businesses are forced to close their doors because they cannot find staff who can afford to live nearby. In "Home truths", housing expert Carolyn Whitzman explores Canada’s crisis from all sides, including defining what adequate housing looks like, explaining why nonmarket housing is crucial for Canada, and outlining how and why to tackle ever-growing wealth disparities between renters and those who own.

Summary:
This publication examines the economic conditions of architecture, which are all too often disregarded in the day-to-day life of people working in the profession. The focus is on contracts, jobs, and office structures, on profitability and phases in the construction industry’s economic cycles, on work processes, authorship, and labour rights, on digital outsourcing, and digital out- sourcing. The book sets out to reveal the business footing on which architecture stands: How does it operate today in economic terms? "ARCH+ The Business of Architecture" is intended as a stimulus, offering tools that will empower budding and practising architects alike. A rich variety of (for the most part) up-and-coming offices are presented that have developed new, forward-looking business models, organizational strategies, and resource concepts: these include ARGE c/o, Assemble, Chybik+Kristof, Ana Filipovic, IFUB*, L’atelier—Nomadic Architecture Studio, and Space & Matter.
