Résumé:
This book is the result of research carried out at the Department of Architecture and Industrial Design of the University of Campania ‘Luigi Vanvitelli’ and thanks to funds from the PON Green and Innovation project. The aim of this work was the desire to investigate a new theory of reuse at a time when space is corrupted by traces of the recent past resulting from speculation and ‘easy building’. The paradigm of architecture’s function is changing and the project must be in dialogue with the possibility of architecture having many more lives than what it was imagined for, perhaps returning to being what it has always been, an organism ready to be everything and composed of layers of time, just as the history of architecture has taught us by building on the built without fear.

Résumé:
Through the presentation of an international research project funded by the European Union, on the way people diagnosed with autism live, the book brings to the attention of Architectural Design a theme hitherto mainly addressed by other sectors of knowledge and design. Taking into consideration not only the assumed deficits but also the meaning-making skills and narratives of persons diagnosed with autism, the relationship between architecture and autism or, more generally, neurodivergences, shows its potential to expand architecture’s assumptions and possibilities rather than limiting them, by transcending the most widely-held common places and conventions.

Résumé:
Animés par le désir de créer des mondes meilleurs en temps de crise, les architectes cherchent à restructurer la société, à repenser le lien entre la ville et la campagne, à réimaginer les villes et les formes d’habitat, à réinventer l’architecture et sa matérialité – et créent ainsi une nouvelle esthétique. Les crises sont des points de basculement, où le temps est comme suspendu, où les attentes vis-à-vis de l’avenir changent, et où s’ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives. Prenant appui sur des projets historiques et contemporains, Susanne Stacher examine différentes stratégies architecturales. De nombreuses positions scientifiques et philosophique (notamment celles de Pierre-Henri Castel et Hartmut Rosa) permettent de questionner les notions de progrès, de croissance, de nature et de société telles qu’elles s’expriment à travers les projets architecturaux présentés.

Résumé:
Initially founded as a Facebook group in May 2019, ''Forgotten Architecture''s goal is to research and unearth not well known modern architecture worldwide. The idea behind it is simple: to recover projects by little-known architects and works left in the shadows of the masters, to delve into the work of "minor" figures, and to unite alternative takes on the History of Architecture as a complement to university courses. The book maintains its distinctive features of a collective, dynamic, and horizontal experience born on a social network. The publication uses the architectural categories most frequently featured in the group as guiding themes, providing for each project a collection of photographic materials, documents, and drawings from prominent professional firms, institutions, and private archives—such as Fornasetti, Gaetano Pesce, Nanda Vigo, Vitra. Ephemeral architecture, gas stations, night clubs, playgrounds, houses, vacation resorts, cemeteries, churches, architectures in music videos. At the end of the book, a series of critical essays reflect on its characteristics as a collective and pedagogical experience, considering the repercussions of this experience on the discipline of architecture through different points of view.

Résumé:
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?

Résumé:
Universal design offers a paradigm shift in how we understand and perceive human beings and the diversity of abilities within architecture and urban planning. The concept introduces a new approach to core aspects of architecture: sensory experiences, social sustainability, and architectural qualities and meaning. In "Universal design in architecture: On enabling and empowering a diverse population", Camilla Ryhl engages in dialogue with ten architects about their practices and understanding of universal design. The book introduces a model for applying universal design at three differing levels, providing a practical framework for creating inclusive and accessible spaces. It is an essential read for architects, designers, and anyone interested in creating spaces that harmonize with the varied abilities and experiences of all individuals.
