Résumé:
The climate crisis has meant a return to the principles of traditional construction and the use of passive systems, with the purpose of achieving maximum comfort with a minimum environmental impact using strategies such as solar orientation, form factor, or wind patterns. AV Monographs collects sixteen houses designed according to this bioclimatic approach to respond to a huge variety of situations, from the intense heat of the African coast to the heavy snowfall of northern Europe, via the tropical rain of Southeast Asia, the marked seasonality in some areas of South America or China, and the mild temperatures in Central America and the Mediterranean.

Résumé:
Since they set up their studio in 2006 – a time marked by the impact of the financial crisis – Arquitectura-G has completed a considerable number of projects while continuing their research and dissemination work in the field. Almost two decades later, AV Monographs collects twenty works that take stock of the polyphonic creativity and international expansion of the studio: from exemplary interventions on existing structures to lucid new-build housing projects, via experimental spaces for retail or transformations of historical complexes. All this is accompanied by a foreword signed by Harquitectes, who propose an impressionistic analysis of their work; and an epilogue written by the architects themselves, in which they unravel the office’s internal work process.

Résumé:
After an issue dedicated to the persistent structures of colonial domination and racialization in western and northern European societies, The Funambulist 55 (Sep-Oct 2024) Asian Imperialisms intends to decenter Europe, and examine historical and present processes of imperial and/or colonial domination by seven arguably ethnocratic Asian states, namely, Japan, the People’s Republic of China, the Russian Federation (and the Soviet Union), India, Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey (alongside Azerbaijan). This “Asian” denomination chosen for this issue’s title follows historic examples of solidarity at this massive continental scale, the most famous one being the 1955 Afro–Asian Conference in Bandung. The cover is an artwork by Korean artist Kyungmi Shin

Résumé:
From the Apartheid wall in Palestine to the digital paywall, from memorial murals in Jamaica to the increasingly tall glass facades of modern office blocks, walls testify to the tumult of history and humanity’s ceaseless urge to communicate and to sow division. They force us to reflect on the paradoxes of openness and isolation, of enclosure and exclusion. In a world drowning in borders, barriers and barbed-wire fences, this issue of MacGuffin pauses for thought and asks: What exactly do we want to express or protect? And why?
