Résumé:
This double issue of TC Cuadernos explores two decades of Kengo Kuma & Associates' prolific production, focusing on their urban architecture between 2006 and 2024. Through a careful selection of projects, the monograph offers a comprehensive overview of KKAA's evolution and its constant interplay between the rural, explored in TC 158, and the urban. The work is organised around five key strategies: attract, mimetize, hide, occupy and organise. These categories reveal how Kuma approaches urban design in complex contexts. Projects such as the V Dundee Museum in Scotland and the 1550 Alberni Street Tower in Vancouver demonstrate his ability to create architectural landmarks without resorting to traditional monumentalism, prioritising materiality and the environment. On the other hand, the Asakusa Tourist Information Centre in Tokyo and the Nezu Museum show how his architecture is subtly integrated into the urban landscape.

Résumé:
Dedicated to the work of Portuguese architect Ricardo Bak Gordon, this issue reviews his career from 2008 to the present day through a selection of 17 projects, documented with plans, photographs and construction details. The selection includes emblematic projects such as the D. Dinis Secondary School in Lisbon and the García da Orta Secondary School in Porto, the National Museum of Carriages (in collaboration with Paulo Mendes da Rocha) and various detached houses that demonstrate his sensitivity to the domestic scale. Each project demonstrates his search for a timeless architecture based on fundamental values such as scale, proportion, light and materiality.
