Summary:
The first issue of ''Interlope'' honors the editorial plurality that the magazine claims: 240 pages, about thirty subjects. It includes portraits of designers and artists (Nicolas Di Felice, Ariana Papademetropoulos, Gaspar Noé...), musicians (HYD, Yeule, Bernardino Femminielli...), as well as a file of unpublished short stories by several writers revolving around vice (Oscar Coop-phane, Simon Johannin, Matthieu Peck...) Between two series devoted to the emerging English and French music scenes, "the fire that burns you", photographers-filmmakers reveal their vision of Kazakhstan and architects question the idea of black. Since, by definition, the underworld operates in the shadows, this issue focuses on those we hear about at night. Also this edition investigates what remains of provocation. In a world of semi-generalized apathy, isn't that a brave act, asks the editorial.

Summary:
Glass has long served as a translucent room closing element, but its range of possible uses is actually much wider. It not only offers protection against the external world, for example, noise or fire; despite its apparent fragility, it can even take on load-bearing functions in supporting structures. In combination with various different finishing methods, materials, and(...)

Summary:
Glass has long served as a translucent room closing element, but its range of possible uses is actually much wider. It not only offers protection against the external world, for example, noise or fire; despite its apparent fragility, it can even take on load-bearing functions in supporting structures. In combination with various different finishing methods, materials, and coatings, it also satisfies exacting structural-physical standards. "Glass in Building" offers a clear, compact, and illustrated overview of the material-appropriate use of this varied and versatile material in building construction and provides information that goes far beyond the basics on designing with glass and producing and using specialized glass products, as well as on the building and planning regulations that must be taken into account when constructing with glass.

As Italian architect, engineer and curator Carlo Ratti puts it, "Architecture has always been a response to a hostile climate … our creations have always striven to bridge the gap between a harsh environment and the safe, livable spaces we require.

Summary:
As Italian architect, engineer and curator Carlo Ratti puts it, "Architecture has always been a response to a hostile climate … our creations have always striven to bridge the gap between a harsh environment and the safe, livable spaces we require. Today, that dynamic approach is being taken to a new level—as climate becomes less forgiving. We have witnessed firsthand how water and fire are attacking us with unprecedented ferocity." This two-volume publication accompanies the 19th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice, titled "Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective." Contributions from more than 750 participants—including architects and engineers, mathematicians and climate scientists, philosophers and artists, chefs and coders, writers and woodcarvers, farmers and fashion designers, and many more—explore how effective methods of adaptation to our changing environment demand inclusivity and collaboration.

Summary:
Timber is a renewable material that also creates warm, welcoming spaces offering an emotional quality to their users. Light on Wood is a very personal story about how to design with mass timber. The pioneering architectural practice of atelierjones in Seattle, founded by Susan H. Jones, has diligently worked to decarbonize our built environment. In fact, it was one of the first practices in the US to use mass timber.Many beautiful buildings ensued over the past two decades, often developed in cooperation with local communities. But the office also investigated the behavior of CLT in case of fire and thus contributed to much-needed changes in building code. This book documents atelierjones’ multifaceted approach of design, research and advocacy and shows an attractive selection of the projects that have resulted from it.

Summary:
In 1906, America commenced a major railroad modernization project, driven by massive industrial era investment and development. A lasting symbol of this time in history remains today: the imposing coaling towers that pepper the country and which once held the coal that powered steam locomotives. Over the course of five years and 20,000 miles, photographer Jeff Brouws documented these towers. "Silent Monoliths" tells their story. The towers, built of concrete, a modern material with historical roots traceable to the Roman aqueducts, were constructed to replace aging (and less fire-retardant and less efficient) wooden coaling wharves and chutes. As the railroads transitioned from steam to diesel in the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s, most of these coaling towers slipped into obsolescence—some demolished, others "retired-in-place" and left standing.

Summary:
First published 1945. In this classic of English architectural history, John Summerson provides a perceptive and highly readable account of a major building period in the history of London. Encompassing the architecture of the capital from the Great Fire of 1666 through the city’s early nineteenth-century expansion, the book remains a guide to the genesis and development of Georgian London. Summerson examines the way in which building was conditioned by social, economic, and financial circumstances and discusses some of Britain’s most important buildings and their architects. While Summerson’s text is essentially unchanged in this edition, it has been corrected in the light of new research, expanded to include a few significant buildings that were originally overlooked, and enhanced with new illustrations. The Appendix of surviving Georgian buildings has also been carefully updated.

Summary:
Samuel Mockbee and Coleman Coker have been practicing architecture together since 1986 through means both conventional and unique. The context of their work is the rural American South, images of which run throughout this monograph. They have created a remarkable and visually appealing collection of projects from indigenous imagery. Primarily residential, their architecture both reflects its vernacular surroundings and enriches its environment by transforming the commonplace into an object of beauty. "Mockbee Coker: Thought and Process" is the first book to be published on their work, bringing together their paintings, writings, and architecture. Projects presented in this monograph include the Barton House, Madison County, Mississippi; the Cook House, Oxford, Mississippi; the Kennedy House, Seaside, Florida; Magee Church of Christ, Magee, Mississippi; Flautt Tractor Shed, Leflore County, Mississippi; and Canton Fire Station No. 3, Canton, Mississippi.
