Résumé:
The articulation of transitional space forms a key element in Japanese architecture and its relationship to landscape. Climate and cultural history have shaped myriad forms and expressions of these spaces, which connect as well as separate. We pass through or dwell within them; these transitional spaces differentiate between one space and another, inside and outside, public and private, our body and what surrounds it. This issue of Pamphlet documents a conversation about six residential houses in Kyoto, Osaka, and Tokyo. The houses and their surroundings were captured through sound recordings and Point Cloud laser scanning, the results of which were processed into short videos.

Résumé:
Over the last ten years, the ancient city of Hangzhou, China, has tripled in size and added over a million people to its population. Learning from Hangzhou is an extended photoessay that situates Hangzhou within the physically and culturally transformative pressures of China's unbridled economic expansion. Between 2003 and 2008, more than 3,000 images of Hangzhou were taken, and then sorted for recurrent subject matter. This resulting condensed portrait catalogues such themes as the ubiquity of demolition and construction in Hangzhou, its architectural eclecticism, graffiti, advertising and the tenuous relationship between architecture and signage. This photo essay is accompanied by texts that explicate Hangzhou's emblematic role in China's larger transformations.

Résumé:
Taiwan has the highest density of convenient stores in the world, many of which belong to the American chain 7-Eleven. The phenomenon of these stores were taken as the point of departure for a architectural workshop that developed a series of projects that question utopia, embrace globalisation and explore a mode of service that is closely linked to the life of a city’s residents and their community. A collection of works, projects and writings, produced over the course of the one-week workshop, is explored here.

In the 1980s, as communities outside of Japan's major cities were slated to receive new sewer systems these public works projects were met with resistance, until one dedicated bureaucrat solved the problem by devising a way to make these mostly invisible systems aesthetically appreciated aboveground: customized manhole covers.

Les pratiques et croyances du folklore japonais, la géomancie des villes anciennes jusqu'aux dispositifs de l'urbanisme contemporain, l'aménagement des jardins, de la maison ou du mobilier intérieur montrent comment s'est développée, au Japon, une culture spatiale particulière.

Résumé:
Février 1967, la Révolution culturelle est à son point d’incandescence. Shanghai bouillonne. Un groupe d’ouvriers et d’étudiants rebelles, d’abord minoritaire mais bien décidé, va réussir l’impossible : se débarrasser du vieux parti communiste local et de la municipalité somnolente, et prendre le pouvoir dans la ville. Se réclamant explicitement de la Commune de Paris, ils créent un organisme nouveau, la Commune de Shanghai. Les ouvriers et les étudiants sont maîtres de la plus grande ville industrielle de Chine. Le livre retrace presque jour par jour cette aventure unique : la montée de la révolte, les luttes internes, la résistance féroce de ceux qui s’accrochent au pouvoir en s’appuyant sur l’armée, la victoire de la Commune – et puis le recul sur ordre de Mao qui craint lui-même que l’armée le lâche. La Commune de Shanghai, qui devient Comité révolutionnaire, aura duré moins longtemps que la Commune de Paris.

Résumé:
This publication covers the most innovative and inspired small houses in Japan and is split into two volumes: city and country. Featuring a total of more than 25 small-scale domestic projects categorised based on location, together the volumes form an intriguing report on how predominantly young Japanese architects approach challenging contexts and highly restricted urban sites. Beautifully photographed and presented with detailed drawings, project information and insights by the individual architects, the selected domiciles are a testament to Japanese design talent when striving for maximum yield through minimal means in high-density or natural surroundings.

Résumé:
Although Japanese architects have to contend with very particular constraints, from tiny plots in crowded urban contexts to ever-present seismic threats, their innovative solutions to the creation of space and stable structures, combined with their close attention to materials, technology and natural light, have resulted in homes that are internationally admired. This overview of fifty recently built Japanese houses includes projects by three Pritzker Prize-winners— Tadao Ando, Shigeru Ban and Kazuyo Sejima—as well as by lesser-known emerging architects. Each house is clearly illustrated with colour photographs and plans, and is lucidly described by Philip Jodidio, who has travelled extensively around Japan and is deeply familiar with these projects and their creators. His book is a demonstration of Japan’s enduring commitment to design innovation.
