Résumé:
This first volume in a series examining intersections between architectural theory and practice addresses environmental crisis and spatial justice through four essays. Marc Angélil and Cary Siress trace the evolution from Technocene, Thermocene, Plantationocene, to Entropocene, Capitalocene, and Urbicene. Elke Krasny reflects on scales of care within social justice and decolonization. Contributors explore the "Curated Diner" as a planning intervention. Finally, Space Caviar advocates for a non-extractive approach to architecture as part of a broader economic transformation. These interdisciplinary contributions aim to reshape the discourse and discuss equitable, inclusive, and intergenerational practices.

Résumé:
"Three economies of transcendence" offers a sharp critique of how transcendence underpins the symbolic, economic, and environmental crises of the modern world. Andrea Righi identifies three distinct “economies of transcendence” that sustain neoliberal systems of power. Termed the economy of rank, the economy of infinite valorization, and the phallic economy of time, these economies perpetuate hierarchies, sacrifices, and ecological destruction. Through this framework, Righi not only diagnoses the crisis but also proposes an immanent model of economy that fosters solidarity and is expressly pro-social and ecologically responsible.

Résumé:
In this fictional work by author and art historian Isabelle Graw, fear indeed eats the soul of the protagonist as she struggles to survive in a world increasingly defined and divided by money, addressing the situation with psychoanalytic depth. Relatable to anyone who recognizes the stream of anxious thoughts along with feelings of isolation and abandonment, the gripping inner monologue in this latest novel from Graw also offers instances of relief, connecting all who feel equally stuck, frayed, and neurotic, and suggesting a collective route through this crisis-shaken world.

Résumé:
In this new manifesto, ''People’s Architecture Office'' (PAO) show how low-cost pre-fabricated homes can be used to address homelessness, housing scarcity and gentrification. Their ‘plugin’ structures – assembled quickly and easily with simple tools – can be built by almost anyone, almost anywhere, slotting into small urban lots or providing safe shelters in crumbling ruins. This visual and practical guide, full of colourful assembly manuals and graphic novel-style personal stories, calls on architects and urban planners to consider this revolutionary approach, and provides a template for a possible way out of the housing crisis.

Résumé:
After two decades of experimentation with the digital, the prevalent paradigm of formal continuity is being revised and questioned by an emerging generation of architects and theorists. While the world struggles with a global housing crisis and the impact of accelerated automation on labour, digital designers’ narrow focus on mere style and continuous differentiation seems increasingly out of touch. This issue charts an emerging body of work that is based on a computational understanding of the discrete part or building block – elements that are as scalable, accessible and versatile as digital data.

Dispensing with simple narratives of reenchantment, this publication illustrates the intricate ways in which we have to some extent always been captivated by the allure of the numinous. It demonstrates how magical culture’s tendencies toward secrecy, occlusion, and encryption might provide contemporary artists with strategies of remedial communality, a renewed faith in the invocational power of personal testimony, and a poetics of practice that could boldly question our political circumstances, from the crisis of climate collapse to the strictures of socially sanctioned techniques of medical and psychiatric care.
