Résumé:
Building on Jeanne Gang’s recent book of the same name, "The art of architectural grafting" explores her concept for bringing new life to existing buildings through strategic additions that expand on structures’ original capacity and minimise their carbon footprint. The horticultural practice of grafting connects two separate plants, one old and one new, so they can grow and flourish as one. This centuries-old technique is still employed today in the quest for more fruitful, tastier and more resilient plant varieties. Gang’s concept of architectural grafting applies the sensibility and principles of this approach to design at multiple scales. Rather than demolition and new construction, this approach focuses on the transformation and expansion of existing structures, thereby preserving both historic fabric and material resources.

Résumé:
''Rebuilding Is Not a Metaphor: Voices Reshaping the Built Environment Around the World'' brings together architects, planners, policymakers, activists, community organisers, and researchers to explore rebuilding as a concrete practice rather than a symbolic idea. Focusing on the built environment, the book presents responses to environmental disasters, post-industrial decline, and conflict across diverse geographical contexts. While deeply rooted in local conditions, the contributions reveal shared concerns and lessons that resonate globally. Through statements, visual essays, and feature articles, contributors examine rebuilding through material interventions, community engagement, knowledge production, and critical reflection.

Résumé:
We live in challenging times. There is overwhelming evidence that massive change is required in order to survive impending environmental collapse. Yet this fifth volume in the Archifutures series takes the position that the "apocalypse" is not an imminent event, but an insidious process that is already happening. Communities everywhere are facing it on a day-to-day basis. Many are already resisting and adapting. Despite the implied drama of the word "apocalypse", the reality is actually far more mundane: surviving it is not about building bunkers, it is about building resilience - everywhere and in all kinds of ways.
