Résumé:
Manthey Kula is a Norwegian architecture office founded in 2004 by Beate Hølmebakk and Per Tamsen. This issue is dedicated to their practice and presents thirteen built works and five projects on paper. The buildings result from the encounter between the given programme, sensitivity to the site, and methods of construction, while the architecture overall is based on storytelling, making, and how things are made. Manthey Kula uses words, drawings, and materials to construct a new and potent reality. Targeting the public realm of fiction through intuition and imagination, the projects featured here include a ferry port and hydro power station, plus memorials, a rest area, and houses.

Résumé:
This issue highlights the work of adama-faiden, founded in Buenos Aires in 2005 by Sebastián Adamo and Marcelo Faiden. Nearly two decades of work is traced through 34 projects in chronological order. From small residential projects in their early years, the studio has transitioned into an increasingly diverse practice, including a high-rise in central Buenos Aires and social housing in Europe. Regardless of scale, what remains consistent in their work is a considered approach to urban environments and a sensitivity to airflow. Their designs often feature permeable facades and cohabitating plants, creating a soft, fluid connection between interior and exterior.
