Résumé:
What is architectural form? What does architectural form mean? And why is it so significant today? Despite the historical signi?cance of form in architecture, the subject is frequently undervalued in debate. The publication The Form of Form examines a variety of ideas regarding form, not only through aesthetic and technological approaches, but also from social and political points of view. "The form of form" is the official publication of the same-named 4th Lisbon Architecture Triennale. The content of the book underlines the cultural and technical relevance of architecture within society. It aims to foster new thoughts as we reach the dawn of a rapidly changing society driven by fast access to information. After all the tensions and frictions that happen during the physical and social transformations of our cities and landscapes, when all the fuss is over and the different agents who contributed to change have left the field of play, what is left is a built form. Citizens live among forms; architectural forms have endured from the past and they will populate the future.

Résumé:
''After Belonging'' examines the objects, spaces, and territories of our transforming condition of belonging. The global circulation of people, information, and goods has destabilised what we under- stand by residence, questioning spatial permanence, property, and identity - a crisis of belonging. Circulation brings greater accessibility to ever-new commodities and further geographies. But, simultaneously, circulation also promotes growing inequalities for large groups who are kept in precarious states of transit. The publication examines both our attachment to places and collectivities as well as our relation to the objects we produce, own, share, and exchange. It analyses the architectures entangled in these definitions through a selection of projects, texts, and case studies.

Résumé:
Rassemblant plusieurs générations de concepteurs aux origines disciplinaires et géographiques très diverses, l’AUA a développé son activité pendant 25 ans dans une France saisie par la modernisation et en proie à une activité politique intense – de la guerre d’Algérie finissante au premier mandat de François Mitterrand. En quelque sorte banni des grands centres urbains, il a opéré dans les territoires de banlieue et dans les premières villes nouvelles, dans un jeu permanent entre les initiatives des collectivités locales et les programme de l’État. L’engagement, défini par une participation active à l’histoire, marque l’ensemble des actions de l’AUA, qui n’a jamais dissocié la réponse aux attentes des élus et des militants de ses objectifs architecturaux. Cette démarche traverse tous les domaines dans lesquels l’Atelier a déployé son action ; l’habitation et les équipements publics ; l’urbanisme des tissus de banlieue et un souci pionnier du paysage ; la confrontation avec les techniques d’industrialisation et les modèles innovants. L’AUA a par ailleurs été parmi les pionniers d’un nouvel exercice professionnel fondé sur la coopération, le dialogue et le partage, qui a fait figure d’exemple et dont l’esprit pionnier et fécond est lisible dans les projets conduits par une nouvelle génération d’architectes issus de l’enseignement d’après 1968. La diversité des écritures architecturales (Jacques Kalisz, Henri Ciriani, Paul Chemetov, etc.) s’accompagne d’une adhésion partagée à un ensemble de principes, comme la fidélité aux idées du mouvement moderne, une réflexion persistante sur le travail d’équipe avec le souci de la pluridisciplinarité et l’attachement à la dimension sociale de l’architecture.

Résumé:
Already number TEN, ''Pressing Matters X'' is a special issue reflecting a year of reflection and change, after several waves of the pandemic, Black Lives Matter protests and newly developed hybrid teaching methods. It follows last year’s ''Pressing Matters 9'' that was completely rethought with the aim to present an Open Source publication that shares the Department of Architecture’s concept of design-research, an integral approach of critical thinking, rigorous research, and design, representing a deep understanding of the complex layers of architecture. Together with Jonathan Jackson & team of WSDIA, a more integral design was developed, allowing input from research [ARI labs], students, faculty and Penn’s special events. This anniversary of ''Pressing Matters'' is celebrated by adding the ''decade'' color of silver to the usual recycled cardboard cover of Weitzman’s architecture publication. It also represents a year of new opportunities brought by a complete rethinking of education through the introduction of remote learning, zoom lectures and meetings. A much larger international group of diverse jurors, experts, and critics could be invited as travel was of no hindrance for attendance.
