Summary:
Design thinking has created divisions in the discipline: either designers are too theory driven or simply practitioners. Those feeling lost can easily turn to a language meant to inspire creative production in easy to pitch ways, where rhetoric uses design to keep power at bay, to celebrate hegemonic beliefs which are used to indoctrinate designers in bad education, incapable of imagining different futures. If you take away the post-its, the A3 papers and the markers, can designers think? Led by Antonio Gramsci’s advice that knowing thyself requires compiling an inventory, design critic, educator and researcher Danah Abdulla pays tribute to the late architect, activist and critic Michael Sorkin, whose original list “Two Hundred and Fifty Things an Architect Should Know” inspired this updated version targeted at designers. The iterative list is not meant to be a definitive how to guide, but to spark conversations, to prompt critical thinking and to help designers reconfigure their discipline.

This forms the starting point for ‘Unfolding Structures of Exchange’. What happens when three artists (Hans Demeulenaere, Nikolaas Demoen, and Marc Nagtzaam) exchange this red nomadic frame among themselves and shape it to their sculptural, drawing, and choreographic hand? The limited edition book’s accordion-style pages are accompanied by a text insert by Simon Delobel.

Materialising in various forms, such as plaited paintings, murals, brickwork, wall hangings, ceramic objects, and drawings, the collection of works featured in this book were produced using a variety of techniques. In particular, the Brussels-based artist regularly experiments with plaiting paper, in which old and new works – or figurative and geometric images – are woven together into a two-sided, two-dimensional surface that is image, pattern, texture, and structure all in one.

Summary:
Universal design offers a paradigm shift in how we understand and perceive human beings and the diversity of abilities within architecture and urban planning. The concept introduces a new approach to core aspects of architecture: sensory experiences, social sustainability, and architectural qualities and meaning. In "Universal design in architecture: On enabling and empowering a diverse population", Camilla Ryhl engages in dialogue with ten architects about their practices and understanding of universal design. The book introduces a model for applying universal design at three differing levels, providing a practical framework for creating inclusive and accessible spaces. It is an essential read for architects, designers, and anyone interested in creating spaces that harmonize with the varied abilities and experiences of all individuals.

Contrairement à ce que l’on pourrait croire, la crise du logement n’est pas causée par le manque d’unités locatives, des taux d’intérêt élevés ou une conjoncture économique défavorable. C’est l’état normal du marché immobilier en régime capitaliste. Telle est l’idée que défendent l’urbaniste Peter Marcuse et le sociologue David Madden, dans cet ouvrage essentiel qui met en évidence le conflit entre le logement en tant que foyer et l’immobilier à but lucratif. « Défendre le logement » met le doigt sur les processus de marchandisation du logement qui, au cours des dernières années, ont atteint des sommets inégalés, notamment avec l’essor des plateformes comme Airbnb et l’utilisation de l’immobilier comme instrument d’accumulation financière. Une situation qui ne fait que creuser davantage les inégalités dans la ville : quand le profit prend le pas sur le droit de se loger, les loyers augmentent et leur qualité diminue, et les communautés sont confrontées à la violence des déplacements et de la gentrification. Or, le logement est un droit fondamental et ne devrait pas être considéré comme un bien marchand.

L’ouvrage propose aussi une définition de différents types de crise qui peuvent caractériser une dynamique sociale : crise politique, crise de l’architecture institutionnelle, crise d’hégémonie.
