Résumé:
The magazine examines the legacy of the Italian structural engineer Pier Luigi Nervi (1891–1979), who gained worldwide fame in his lifetime as one of the 20th century’s greatest creators of structural architectures. His portfolio continues to affirm his remarkable contribution to the field. Nervi conceived works involving large spaces and explored material possibilities, structure, technicality, economy, aesthetic expression, workability, and functionality. "Rediscovered" in the 1990s, Nervi’s legacy and the multidimensional facets of his work have re-emerged today thanks to numerous research efforts, such as the conservation efforts by Francesco Romeo, guest editor of this issue.

Résumé:
This issue looks at continuity, disruption, and evolution in the works of Christ & Gantebein. For this Basel-based firm, founded in 1998 and headed by Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein, constraints in site and programme are welcome opportunities to create spatial surprises. Whether through experimentations in the museum typology, such as the extension of the Swiss National Museum, or domestic architecture, as evidenced by Vaugirard Social Housing, their approach goes beyond recreating basic functions to provide sensitive solutions in terms of urban repair and contemporary spatial issues. Besides recent projects, the issue contains a conversation with the architects.

Résumé:
The Paris-based architecture firm Experience is headed by Tristan Chadney, Laurent Esmilaire, and Éric Lapierre. They describe their approach towards architecture as cultural and typological, where they venture in search of the “marvellous”. Experience’s meditations on architectural form are so rational that they sometimes loop into the surreal, a paradox apparent in the nineteen works presented in this issue: Palaiseau Student Housing, Chris Marker Residence, Berthelot Collective Housing, Verdeaux School Complex, and more. Notably, the firm imagines housing not as a mechanical repetition of units but as a system of heterogenous parts akin to a living organism.

Résumé:
Vector Architects, founded by Gong Dong in 2008, has prioritised the relationship of built work to its site, from seasides or mountains to the heart of the city, while investigating both natural and artificial landmarks for clues on how best to address the requirements of each programme. And while the office is no stranger to bold gestures, a recent work such as the Jingyang Camphor Court seems to retreat from view, knitting itself into the urban fabric until structure and surroundings become inseparable. The issue also features Xiangshan Library, Changjiang Art Museum, Shanghai Maritime Pavilion, and more, plus essays by Gong Dong, David Leatherbarrow, and Michele Bonino.

Résumé:
This issue features the Swiss architecture firm known as EMI, established in 2005 by architects Ron Edelaar, Elli Mosayebi, and Christian Inderbitzin. Their works span exhibitions, refurbishments, new buildings, and urban planning, but housing remains their primary interest as they examine and reinterpret the small-scale components that contribute to human agency and enjoyment within a dwelling. The 21 projects featured here range from gardens and landscapes to villas and high-rises. In all of them, EMI embeds rational design choices with notions of poetry, as evidenced in the Brüggliäcker Housing Complex in Zurich, Stockmattstrasse Townhouses in Baden, and others.

The Mexican firm Tatiana Bilbao Estudio takes centre stage in this issue, with projects that are representative of values developed over nearly two decades of practice. The studio prioritises the communities for whom it builds while also seeking to understand the socio-environmental frameworks. Evident from the studio’s portfolio is a playful approach to scale, geometry, and materiality. Projects range from large-scale master planning and building design to residences and precise interventions that serve an existing community, such as reconstruction following a disaster. Further, a selection of key exhibitions captures the breadth of the studio’s research into private and public space.

Résumé:
a+u’s April issue, guided by guest editors Ko Nakamura, Keigo Kobayashi, and Mamiko Miyahara, investigates the interconnection of architecture and food. Food insecurity is a major challenge that cities face in the Anthropocene that architects and urbanists must rise to meet. Presenting more than 20 projects of varying scales, this issue highlights alternative strategies that architecture and urban design may adopt in the urgent effort to address this shared global burden. Five key themes – New Ways of Production, Globalism and National Strategies, In Community, Meeting the City, and Exploring Food Space – organize the projects.
