Résumé:
Pour la deuxième édition de la Biennale d'Architecture d'Orléans six commissaires ont été invités à conter les récits des solitudes à travers le monde, là où l'architecture est encore une forme d'engagement dans le réel et une « promesse » pour les libertés : Des rêves vus de près revient sur la résistance du groupe brésilien Arquitetura Nova face à la dictature brésilienne (1964-1985) ; Mes réalisations parleront pour moi offre une lecture de l'œuvre algérienne de l'architecte français Fernand Pouillon ; L'étrangère sur terreréunit des artistes et architectes arabes dont l'œuvre participe aux mouvements arabes d'émancipation face aux discours et aux systèmes autoritaires ; De la solitude à la désolation livre une analyse sans concession du Mexique actuel ; l'installation collective L'architecture comme animal mutant est un dispositif d'hybridation où toute créature architecturale se libère de son créateur. Avec AAU Anastas, Rand Abdul Jabbar, Absalon, Yóllotl Alvarado & Tania Ximena, Atelier Manferdini, BairBalliet, Ila Bêka & Louise Lemoine, Daphné Bengoa, André Bloc, Santiago Borja, John Cage, Bertrand Cavalier, Nidhal Chamekh, Paloma Contreras Lomas, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Design Earth, Hernan Diaz Alonso, f-architecture collaborative, Miguel Fernández de Castro, Bernard Gachet, Griffin Enright, Günter Günschel, Zaha Hadid, Susan Hefuna, John Hejduk, Anne Huffschmid & Jan-Holger Hennies, Damjan Jovanovic, Alberto Kalach, Ferda Kolatan, Lacaton & Vassal, Karen Lohrmann & Stefano de Martino, Jumana Manna, Fabian Marcaccio, Chris Marker, Ahmed Mater, Lucy McRae, MTL Collective, Julie Nioche, Objectile, Driss Ouadahi, P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S, Florencia Pita & Co, Ricardo Porro, Fernand Pouillon, Casey Rehm, Ruy Klein, Beniamino Servino, Servo LA-Stockholm, Sigil Collective, Takk, Pascale Marthine Tayou, Testa & Weiser, Laure Tixier & Hervé Rousseau, Usina_Ctah, Tom Wiscombe, Ezra Wube, Liam Young, Ala Younis.

Résumé:
This publication unfolds an inside view of the installation by Elizabeth Hatz at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. It shows how the installation has been made using 133 pigmented prints of original drawings from Drawing Matter in Somerset, ArkDes in Stockholm, the architects' private archives and a large hand drawing by Hatz on a specially designed table-bench. The fold-out cover illustrates the room's four walls, each of which organise four concept-sets relating to the Biennale theme of Freespace: Ground–Floor, Temple–Shed, Niche–Stoa and Mind–Space. The full-sized colour plates inside show in more detail the collage of drawings on each wall, illustrating how the printing process allowed Hatz to orchestrate the size as well as position of each drawing within these exploratory fields. Hatz's accompanying essay invokes the spatial experience created by the room-drawings and the rich conversations they capture.

Résumé:
Free spaces and ''interspaces,'' or the often unused or underutilized space between units, have gained considerable public attention in recent years. Austrian architectural firms Henke Schreieck Architects, LAAC, and Sagmeister & Walsh have responded to the surge in interest with a fundamental reconsideration of free spaces and interspaces as both a spatial and spiritual construct, a complex dynamic system shaped by coexistence. ''Thoughts Form Matter'' brings together installations the three firms created for the 2018 International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale.

Globalization, technology and politics have altered the definition and expectations of citizenship and the right to place. "Dimensions of Citizenship" documents contributions from the seven firms selected to represent the United States in the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale.

Drawing inspiration from the Eames' Power of Ten, "Dimensions of Citizenship" provides a view of belonging across seven stages starting with the individual (Citizen), then the collective (Civic, Region, Nation) and expanding to include all phases of contemporary society, real and projected (Globe, Network, Cosmos).

Résumé:
The Netherlands has been and continues to be a testing ground where the future of labor is reimagined. Published in conjunction with the Dutch Pavilion at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, ''Work, Body, Leisure'' analyzes spatial arrangements and protocols molded for the interaction between humans and machines; spaces that challenge traditional distinctions between work and leisure; the ways in which evolving notions of labor have categorized and defined bodies at particular moments in time; and the legal, cultural, and technical infrastructures that enable their exploitation, with the aim of fostering new forms of creativity and responsibility within the architectural field in response to emerging technologies of automation.
