Résumé:
This book chronicles the fourth academic year of the studio led by Kersten Geers at the Academy of Architecture USI in Mendrisio. It was produced as a counterpart to Experiments in Thickness, a book which focused on the work of Giancarlo de Carlo in Urbino. As a means of grappling with that elephant in the room—the modern project—and its perceived failure of good intentions, all the projects gathered here are an update of sorts. Abstract overarching narratives were updated as premises for projects in Milan, De Carlo’s campus in Urbino was updated to accommodate current student population, and unrealised projects in Milan were revived to create a radically contemporary urbanity. But this was not an exercise in nostalgia and retrieval of the lost cause, as much as seeking an opportunity in a modernist ending.

Résumé:
Yonge street very much the spine of Toronto. The city has grown up along and from it, with successive arterial roads radiating outwards like ribs. It’s a line that both divides the city, and its streets, into east and west – marking the beginning of address numbering in each direction – and that ties the city together. As it moves from the lakefront to the city’s northern(...)

Résumé:
Yonge street very much the spine of Toronto. The city has grown up along and from it, with successive arterial roads radiating outwards like ribs. It’s a line that both divides the city, and its streets, into east and west – marking the beginning of address numbering in each direction – and that ties the city together. As it moves from the lakefront to the city’s northern border, Yonge evolves constantly, at each point reflecting the nature of its new environment, and so showcasing many of the different phases of our vast metropolis.

Résumé:
Peut-être que le « non » ouvre un espace, une brèche dans laquelle certaines choses peuvent enfin se mettre à naître. Dans ce dossier, nous avons rassemblé des exercices de refus. Des « non » appliqués, des « non » qui se découvrent et s’affirment. Nous avons eu envie de lancer ce défi d’écriture parce que nous vivons dans une société de consommation et de docilité.(...)

Résumé:
Peut-être que le « non » ouvre un espace, une brèche dans laquelle certaines choses peuvent enfin se mettre à naître. Dans ce dossier, nous avons rassemblé des exercices de refus. Des « non » appliqués, des « non » qui se découvrent et s’affirment. Nous avons eu envie de lancer ce défi d’écriture parce que nous vivons dans une société de consommation et de docilité. Notre souhait était de dévier notre attention des espaces où la parole n’est pas respectée, de laisser résonner le non-désir, l’écœurement, pour voir ce que ça faisait bouger en nous et dans le monde. Et en demandant aux gens de poser par l’écriture des gestes de refus ou de nous raconter ceux qu’iels ont posés, nous avons vu poindre cette intuition: dire non, refuser, ce n’est pas abdiquer, c’est demeurer rétif·ves et en action. Qu’arriverait-il si nous les laissions surgir, ces « non » qui font si mal? Si nous les poursuivions dans la joie? Pouvons-nous prendre le risque total de vivre avec eux?

Résumé:
There is no snow on Mount Fuji. Any hack will tell you the phase change is here, the restructuring of the world is underway. That would be a relief, like a broken fever. But they are wrong. We are still waiting. This period is merely the static on the skin, the rising pressure and building tension before the impending climax of a deluge. We live under a lavender sky, silver and green; this is the time of unsettled air, heavy with that metallic smell of the earth. Soon the wind will awake, driving the rain forward like a cloud of smoke. The tremendous powers by which our lives are encompassed are stirring. How can we prepare for this transformation? We interview professor Jonathan White on the future as a political idea. Artist Dozie Kanu presents a flyer for higher education, while Opioid Crisis Lookbook speculates on semiotics. Peter Saville reviews the mood with Jack Self, who reviews voice notes, moral killing, and the Star Trek universe. Isabelle Bucklow binge-watches tech demos. Satoshi Fujiwara captures law enforcement hardware. Ruba Al-Sweel reviews the non-commercial image, while Martina Rocca and Izzy Farmiloe review the production of culture. Carmen Winant documents the last safe abortion, Felix Mcnamara writes notes on minutiae, John Sunyer attends a run club, plus much more.

Following on from the two previous issues which tackled various representations of power in architecture, this third number goes a step further and demonstrates how power is using architecture not just simply to express itself, but to organise itself. The central thesis reflected in this timely and wide-ranging collection of articles and images is that power structures and power relations think architecturally in order to be successful.

Résumé:
"Praxis 8, re:programming" reflects upon the complex, ambiguous and ultimately paradoxical set of ideas denoted by the term program. The elusive definition of program is not only because of its complex history but more importantly because of its continuous redefinition in contemporary architectural practice. A broader shift in the term program, with the emergence of computer culture, has empowered architects to see what was traditionally considered a given, as something that can be reprogrammed at will.
