Summary:
This publication presents projects in recent years in Japan, which respond to the need for new forms of housing. The architects are developing solutions that allow residents to live together but still maintain enough distance and privacy. The presented apartment types and their layout allow for a variety of life models. Particularly interesting here is the use of spaces that provide a gradual transition from public to private space - an approach to building that, according to experts, could revolutionize western residential architecture. The publication portrays these new forms of building and living based on prominent Japanese examples that include Shigerun Ban, Sou Foujimoto, and SANAA.

What started as an easy solution – trawling through the magazine’s archives in search of interviews and conversations to bundle and reprint – turned into a complex analysis of “datedness”. Blind spots were revealed, old trends came to light, instances of amnesia emerged, and sometimes it seemed like nothing had changed. The editors decided to give the original interviewees and writers a chance to reflect, perhaps redeem themselves, even decades later. Some were unable and others were no longer reachable. So they asked respected colleagues and experts to comment or give their own context instead. The result is illuminating, a truly layered celebration of the space in between.

Summary:
In "Space is politics", architect and urban planner Hans Teerds shows that space is not merely a prerequisite for political activity – it is political in itself. The design of public spaces such as streets, squares, and parks influences who meets, who participates, and who is excluded. These spaces are not mere backdrops, but central places of democratic practice.(...)

These spaces are not mere backdrops, but central places of democratic practice. Architecture is never neutral. It marks access, defines boundaries, and shapes the conditions of public life. Teerds calls for such spaces to be reclaimed from investors and experts in social dialogues, returning them to the political public sphere. A manifesto for those who understand architecture as a political task.

As director of the organization Forensic Architecture, he and his team of interdisciplinary researchers have spent decades documenting state crimes and human rights violations around the world, including in Israel and Palestine. Since 2023, the group has worked to produce evidence for the International Court of Justice’s case against Israel. In this revelatory new project, Weizman draws on that research to bring us on an eye-opening journey through the "deep cartography" of the area, from Gaza’s subterranean tunnels up to its militarized topography, settlements, and barriers.

Through eleven contributions from eighteen international experts on architecture, art, social criticism, and activism, this issue illuminates specific realities of fraught spaces – urban frictions – in different parts of the world. Everyday frustrations, manifest inequalities, and social and political conflicts are examined throughout this issue in a process of description, discussion, and designation. The relationships between urban objects reflect the emergence of plurality and coexistence within and beyond what can be seen and understood as urban within an expanded concept of architecture.
