Résumé:
This book is both a call to reassess the architecture profession and its education, and a toolkit for graduates and working architects to untangle their skills, passions, and value from traditional architectural practice and consider alternate pathways. Written by design professionals and expert career consultants, it is informed by numerous client accounts as well as the authors’ own stories and routes out of architecture. A wide range of architecture students, graduates, educators, and professionals will recognize themselves within the pages of this book and find prompts to reassess their working practices, teaching styles, and the profession itself. It will be of particular value to those students skeptical of joining the architecture workforce, as well as those further along and considering a career change.

In the face of the radical convergence of a health crisis and an ecological crisis, it is not possible to return to the investigative trajectories on inhabitation and dwelling that yielded good results in the past.

Résumé:
In the face of the radical convergence of a health crisis and an ecological crisis, it is not possible to return to the investigative trajectories on inhabitation and dwelling that yielded good results in the past. What is it that now defines inhabitation within the plurality of conditions, geographies, and politics that connote it? Lifelines is a work of collective research on the spaces where life intertwines, mingles, and twists in constant resistance to the mechanisms that capture, exploit, and create the social and environmental precariousness that characterizes the violent techno-capitalist present. The book investigates the roles and challenges of design in uncertain spaces and brings together empirical explorations from Italy, Ecuador, the US, Lebanon, Germany, and the UK.

Résumé:
As part of the 2019 Biennale d’architecture et de paysage in Versailles, France, MOS constructed Petite École, a small, open-air pavilion to house educational workshops for children. It is a place for looking and making, and for making and looking, constructed with 688 aluminum pieces modeled, flattened, cut, folded, prefabricated, shipped, and then assembled onsite. It is made to be taken down and reassembled elsewhere. It is designed to be easily understood, made of simple building elements: a long, low roof with columns and stacked beams holding it up. Undertaken during various design workshops, single page design exercises written by architects were assembled into a large book and given to children. "A Book on Making a Petite École" features an expanded collection of these exercises. Each exercise includes playful illustrations of its steps, starting a conversation about how designers look at, think about, teach, and imagine the foundations of design.

This is a compilation of the dialects of reuse. Its proposition is that an obsolete entity is not only a site of depredation, it is a condition for mediation: a location for research and design processes for meaningful change through reuse.

Résumé:
This is a compilation of the dialects of reuse. Its proposition is that an obsolete entity is not only a site of depredation, it is a condition for mediation: a location for research and design processes for meaningful change through reuse. In other words, the creative re-designation of all existing matter. This publication characterises centuries of these practices, and specifies their relevance to the 21st century. Our time will be characterised by its responses to the challenge of climate emergency, and to the need for social justice. It is a resource: lexicon of language, an expression of vocabularies, and a glossary of terms used to distinguish the transformation of the existing, into something new.

Résumé:
This is a collection of lyrics and lyrical reflections upon the endlessly embroiled landscape of the city: it reveals a poetic landscape infused with the effects of topography and technology upon its architecture, language, politics and planning. It is a love poem of sorts, one dedicated to the modernist dream. In common with Alex Niven’s recent prose concerning the possibilities of "a new form of radical culture beyond the idea of England", this publication fuses scholarship with meditation, experience with imagination, memory with speculation, inviting us to "pause our vortex for a moment to consider im/possibilities". A utopia of actual places is revealed in the photographs of Euan Lynn and in the poet’s elliptical observations of a situation where, "here and there/everything is open".

Résumé:
Ces deux mots - l'intime et la chambre - semblent inextricablement liés, et ce d'autant que leur origine est assez concomitante. A l'aube du XVIIIe siècle, quand chambre à coucher il y a, elle n'est pas encore le lieu de l'intime. Un siècle plus tard, alors que les appartements se composent pratiquement des mêmes suites de pièces, les usages ont changé. On n'habite plus la demeure de la même manière, et certaines pièces ont été sanctuarisées ; la chambre à coucher en fait partie. Pour mieux en rendre compte, ce livre propose d'explorer le XVIIIe siècle de part en part, de rechercher les traces de la transformation des esprits et des usages, d'interroger les continuités autant que les ruptures.

Leading architect Reinier de Graaf punctures the myths behind the debates on what contemporary architecture is, with wit and devastating honesty. Architecture, it seems, has become too important to leave to architects. No longer does it suffice to judge a building solely by its appearance, it must be measured, and certified. When architects talk about 'Excellence', 'Sustainability', 'Well-being', 'Liveability', 'Placemaking', 'Creativity', 'Beauty' and 'Innovation' what do they actually mean?

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage interroge les écarts entre l’appréhension architecturale savante du bâti alpin et la culture propre aux réalités rurales qualifiées d’architecture « vernaculaire ». À partir d’une étude approfondie de la figure du chalet et d’un travail de relevé rigoureux de hameaux et bâtiments ruraux du Val d’Hérens, dans le canton du Valais, il propose une critique attentive des modalités discursives qui accompagnent et justifient toute entreprise de construction en montagne. Les formes bâties héritées de la culture rurale alpine doivent, pour l’auteur, être abandonnées à leur environnement, non pas pour tomber dans l’oubli ni pour répondre à une esthétique de ruines, mais pour perdurer et conserver leur condition originelle. En ce sens, la notion de patrimoine est ainsi mise à l’épreuve sous le rapport de son champ d’application et de ses théories, notamment juridiques.
