Summary:
Qu’ont en commun une personne âgée dans un Ehpad, une personne handicapée dans un établissement, un sans-abri dans un foyer d’urgence, un demandeur d’asile dans un centre spécialisé ou encore un sans-papiers dans un hôtel payé par l’État ? Ils bénéficient d’un hébergement qui, s’il s’organise selon des modalités différentes, ne les place pas moins, tous, aux frontières du logement ordinaire. Quels sont ces dispositifs d’hébergement et comment s’inscrivent-ils dans la politique du logement ? Qui en sont les usagers ? Comment la crise liée au Covid-19 a-t-elle contribué à mettre en avant la gravité d’un sujet qui pouvait paraître marginal à la fin du XXe siècle ? Autant de questionnements auxquels Julien Damon apporte des réponses précises, décryptant des données souvent ardues, au cours de ce qui s’apparente à un éclairant périple dans un pan singulier de l’action publique.

Summary:
From his early years in Germany to the end of his life in the United States, collective housing has been very present in the work of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The research carried out by Fernando Casqueiro, Associate Professor at ETSAMadrid, compiles, for the first time, the entire collection of collective housing projects signed by the master. Each work has been analysed, redrawn, and compared on the same parameters. The result is a voyage through the creation and consolidation of a typology, culminating in the seminal works 860-880 Lake Shore Drive and Lafayette Pavilion. The collection is made up of 36 projects, built or only designed, that cover Mies' life, his relationship with his clients and the influence of his collaborators.

Summary:
In her early twenties, photographer Sari Soininen regularly and excessively experimented with LSD, which eventually led to an extended psychotic episode that impacted her life in a profound way. ''Transcendent country of the mind'' is a deep dive into encounters with alternative dimensions of reality and perceptions of otherworldly signs around us. Through a kaleidoscope of mesmerising landscapes, unfamiliar portraits, and more, it tells a story of subconsciousness, about the world that resides in the back of our minds. Soininen’s colourful body of work shows our vivid surroundings in all their beauty and darkness, and embraces a journey towards the undiscovered.

Summary:
Living in Los Angeles has always been equated with the suburban single-family home with a big backyard. But for decades, L.A. has also been the consummate laboratory for exceptional experiments in multifamily housing — dwellings centered on shared open space, from the central courtyard to the rooftop garden. In this volume, author Frances Anderton explores that fascinating history— from the bungalow courts and apartment-hotels of the 1910s, through the development of garden apartments, to contemporary mid-rise "urban villages" and co-living spaces. It features the work of the Zwebells, R.M. Schindler, Richard Neutra, John Lautner, Ralph Vaughn, Koning Eizenberg, Sean Knibb, Michael Maltzan, Brooks + Scarpa, and many more. In a time of housing crisis, Frances Anderton makes the case that well-designed, equitable, connected living is tomorrow’s American dream.

Summary:
The Lebanese photographer Marie al-Khazen not only documented her travels around tourist sites in Lebanon but also sought creative experimentation with her camera by staging scenes, manipulating shadows, and superimposing negatives to produce different effects in her prints. Within her photographs, bedouins and European friends, peasants and landlords, men and women comfortably share the same space. Her photographs include an intriguing collection portraying her family and friends living their everyday lives in 1920s and '30s Zgharta, a village in the north of Lebanon. Yasmine Nachabe Taan explores these photographs, emphasizing the ways in which notions of gender and class are inscribed within them and revealing how they are charged with symbols of women's emancipation to today's viewers, through women's presence as individuals, separate from family restrictions of that time.
