Résumé:
The city has become an important new starting point in the quest for architecture. At a time of extreme urbanisation, unharnessed urban growth has led many architects to rethink the way that buildings are designed for the global metropolis. It is no longer practical or desirable to impose the standardised, idealized planning of the 20th century. Rather than viewing the city as a fixed entity, architects are now seeking direct inspiration from the existing urban environment and learning from its ever-changing state that resists predetermination. The city, in all its complexity, has become a realm of invention and a space for possibilities where new designs can be tested. This is as apparent in the work that architects are undertaking in the informal settlements, or favelas, of Latin America, as in the more regulated spaces of Chicago, London or Tokyo. Favouring an inclusive way of viewing the city, no aspect of the urban world is any longer rejected outright, and architects and urban designers instead find potential and learn from the underlying dynamics of the contemporary city. This attitude highlights the generative capacities of the city and finds new ways of engaging it. At the very least, it advances an architectural thinking that engages the city on its own ground, abets its potential and seeks opportunities in the existing condition.

Résumé:
The October issue of Domus focuses on the theme of affordable housing, tackling the question of what "minimum subsistence dwelling" could mean in the 21st century. It builds on the investigation started at the Min to Max international architecture symposium in Berlin. Guest edited by Ilka and Andreas Ruby, it starts with Berlin-based architecture studio Something Fantastic's manifesto on the creative opportunities and innovation allowed by the world recession. Domus then surveys the globe in search of positive strategies where design is subjected to constant experimentation, from Burkina Faso — where, in Gando, Diébédo Francis Kéré runs his experimental architecture workshop —, to Athens — where a group of teachers and researchers finds in the typical Greek polykatoikia the possibility of generating a host of collective and shared spaces —, passing through Detroit, Houston, New York City, Berlin, and Rio de Janeiro. Fresh after the opening of the Venice Architecture Biennale, issue 962 presents Gabriele Basilico's photographic survey of the Biennale's national pavilions, empty and waiting for their annual occupation. Jean-Philippe Vassal's photo essay captures extraordinary moments in the production of everyday space in Africa, and, in Mexico, artist Pedro Reyes transforms agents of death into instruments of life: by converting half a tonne of confiscated weapons into musical instruments, Reyes challenges us to imagine a change for the better.
