Résumé:
In A Flower with Love, Bruno Munari lets us in on the secret: "...what really matters is the love with which a little daisy, a lavender sprig or some moss are chosen, that one there in particular and not that other one." With full-color images, we learn that flower arranging is not an obscure art but a natural gesture requiring more care and imagination than money.(...)

Munari's examples are not to be copied slavishly; they represent examples to aid the reader in uncovering their own natural aesthetic sensibilities.

Résumé:
Carol Gilligan’s landmark book ''In a different voice'' – the ''little book that started a revolution'' – brought women’s voices to the fore in work on the self and moral development, enabling women to be heard in their own right, and with their own integrity, for the first time. Forty years later, Gilligan returns to the subject matter of her classic book, re-examining its central arguments and concerns from the vantage point of the present. Thanks to the work that she and others have done in recent decades, it is now possible to clarify and articulate what couldn’t quite be seen or said at the time of the original publication: that the ''different voice'' (of care ethics), although initially heard as a ''feminine'' voice, is in fact a human voice; that the voice it differs from is a patriarchal voice (bound to gender binaries and hierarchies); and that where patriarchy is in force or enforced, the human voice is a voice of resistance, and care ethics is an ethics of liberation. While gender is central to the story Gilligan tells, this is not a story about gender: it is a human story. With this clarification, it becomes evident why ''In a different voice'' continues to resonate strongly with people’s experience and, perhaps more crucially, why the different voice is a voice for the 21st century.

Résumé:
The latest addition to the authoritative monograph series documenting each of Alvar Aalto's architectural projects focuses on the house Aalto and his second wife Elissa designed for the Parisian art dealer Louis Carré in the mid-1950s. This profusely illustrated volume describes the architecture of the building, the exceptional interiors and life in the house. It also includes a biographical sketch of Carré, who met Aalto at the opening of the pavilion Aalto had designed for the 1956 Venice Biennale. The friendship between Aalto, the radical experimenter, and Carré, the perfectionist patron of the arts, lasted the rest of their lives, and Maison LC became one of the most exceptional collaborations between architect and client ever built.

Résumé:
For architects, designing adaptive reuse projects for buildings originally constructed for religious purposes is a challenging task. Different approaches to transforming historic structures often spark intense debate. The three projects examined in this issue’s special feature on the future of preservation illustrate different interpretations of the principles set forth in the ''Charter of Krakow'' (2000), a document aimed at establishing common ground. In addition, the magazine zooms in on Max Núñez Arquitectos through an interview with the architect and selected projects, including the Hogar Alemán Elderly Care Home and MUSEAT Atacama Regional Museum, both in Chile.

The construction section covers Snøhetta’s proposal for the new Beijing sub-center library.
