Summary:
The iconic Edith Farnsworth House is a singular glass home designed by Mies van der Rohe. But the oft-told history of the house overwrites Farnsworth’s role as Mies’s collaborator and antagonist while falsely portraying her as the architect’s angry ex-lover.

The iconic Edith Farnsworth House is a singular glass home designed by Mies van der Rohe. But the oft-told history of the house overwrites Farnsworth’s role as Mies’s collaborator and antagonist while falsely portraying her as the architect’s angry ex-lover. Nora Wendl’s audacious work of creative nonfiction explodes the sex-and-real-estate myth surrounding the Edith Farnsworth House and its two central figures. An eminent physician and woman of letters, Farnsworth left a rich trove of correspondence, memoirs, and photographs that Wendl uses to reconstruct her voice. Farnsworth’s memories and experiences alternate with Wendl’s thoughts on topics like misogyny and professional ambition to fashion a lyrical examination of love, loneliness, beauty, and the search for the divine.

Summary:
L'Art déco apparaît dans le sillage de l'Art nouveau au cours des années 1920. Ce mouvement tire son origine des Arts décoratifs, mis sur le devant de la scène lors de l'Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes de Paris en 1925. En pleines Années folles, la création artistique est alors éclatante. Décorateurs, ensembliers, architectes, ferronniers, etc. , s'associent pour concevoir des pavillons aux intérieurs richement décorés. Trait d'union entre l'ornementation excessive de l'Art nouveau et la rigueur formelle de l'architecture moderne - qui apparaît peu avant -, l'Art déco impose une esthétique élégante, faisant la part belle aux motifs géométriques, sans toutefois délaisser les courbes, et mettant en valeur la pureté des lignes et la sophistication des détails. L'Art déco accompagne le développement de la modernité et de nouveaux équipements tels que gares, cinémas, piscines, musées, etc. , où s'expriment les idées de vitesse, de voyage, de dépaysement et de divertissement ; mais il se manifeste également dans des programmes plus traditionnels comme les édifices administratifs ou religieux, par exemple. Ce nouvel opus de la collection "Cinq" offre un panorama représentatif de ce mouvement polymorphe, à travers cinq réalisations remarquables : l'église Saint-Louis de Vincennes, la bibliothèque Carnegie de Reims, le palais de la Porte-Dorée, la gare de Lens et l'hôtel de ville de Puteaux.

"The racial cage" delivers a spirited and polyvocal analysis of how race is materialized through both metaphorical and literal cages. It theorizes the cage, fence, dragnet, and tube as material–semiotic sites for racialization and for iteratively redefining the human–animal boundary.

It theorizes the cage, fence, dragnet, and tube as material–semiotic sites for racialization and for iteratively redefining the human–animal boundary. A collaborative conversation across continents, this work examines the racial cage as an important part of the practice of social division and bodily containment. The deeply considered result is an empirical and theoretical approach to biohumanities that productively interrogates its linkages to critical theories of race and racism.

Summary:
"Begin again. Fail better: preliminary drawings in architecture" engages with one of the principal activities of the architect in the process of design: drawing by hand, and more specifically, the act of beginning those drawings. Architects try, fail, try again, fail better until they start to move in the direction that ultimately becomes a building . . . or not. This book brings together some 180 preliminary architecture drawings. More than fifty contemporary Swiss architecture firms each contributed two pieces that reveal something of their individual approach and understanding of architecture. This selection is enhanced by historical works from four significant British and Swiss archival collections dating back to the sixteenth century and up to the twentieth. The illustrations are complemented by essays providing a critical and historical framework, as well as a conversation engaging with the conditions and importance of failure within the design process. Brief interludes by international architects, archivists, and teachers, introducing a range of perspectives, round out this beautiful volume.

Summary:
Welcome to the 60th issue of The Funambulist, which concludes the tenth year of publishing the magazine! On August 6th and 9th, The Funambulist will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the devastating US nuclear bombing of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Our contribution to the significance of these two massacres consists in convoking Indigenous perspectives from lands that have been exploited for these two bombings. The idea for it came from listening to Glen Sean Coulthard in Dene Country (in what the Canadian settler colony designates as Northwest Territories) about the uranium extracted from his nation’s land to fabricate the atomic bomb and three decades later, the visit of a Dene delegation to Hiroshima to apologize for the role of their labor and land in the nuclear bombing of the city. This understanding of interconnectedness between distant lands and peoples forms the editorial core of this issue.

Temporary structures, such as scaffolding, barriers, and building sites, ensure the functioning of multiple processes, from construction and deconstruction to maintenance, guidance, and protection. ''Temporary Tecture'' presents a new perspective on this type of contemporary vernacular architecture—often overlooked in both public and professional discourse, despite its omnipresence. This new approach reveals that these “structures of necessity” provide an architectural language from which architects can learn in terms of adaptability, use of local resources, circular economy, and conceptual radicalism. Ultimately, it raises the question: How permanent should architectural solutions be in a continuously changing world?

Based on a history of climate control on urban scales, it promotes the integration of indoors and outdoors in order to reduce environmental and thermal loads in cities. Just as heating and cooling practices inside the buildings are affecting the (urban) climate outdoors, urban heat islands are influencing the energy requirements and thermal conditions inside the buildings. While the first part of the book focuses on the interwar period in Europe, the publication’s second part considers examples from all over the globe, tracing the growing significance of ecological thinking for the design of urban environments.
