Edited by Tomaž Štoka with Miloš Kosec, Natalija Lapajne, and Bogo Zupancic, ''Universum Plecnik'' expands on the articulation of Plecnik’s heritage and highlights the lasting relevance of his designs, thereby opening the doors for further exploration of new sources.

Résumé:
In her painting, American artist Amy Sillman (born 1955) expands the standards of abstraction using material and conceptual interventions in the painting process. She destabilizes purported dichotomies and hierarchizations between figuration and abstraction, intimacy and clumsiness, ability and self-negation, process and completion. Now the serial drawings and paintings are multicolored, now monochrome, now they show complex forms, now figures or body parts. And they are always filled with delight in the process. The publication "Amy Sillman: Oh, Clock!" highlights her critical exploration of the history of painting and conveys her complex and sophisticated painterly practice on canvas and beyond.

Résumé:
"The superREUSE Manifesto" is a critical exploration of ideas, research and practices in reuse. -Reuse identifies insights into cities, buildings, interiors and objects constructed through working with extant material. Super is an elevated pitch for a 21st century that is characterised by responses to the challenges of the climate emergency and social justices. The superREUSE Manifesto coalesces ideas in the designed and built environment that react and work with these challenges. It is an uncompromising collection of ideas and propositions designed to stimulate its reader to rethink their position in relation to how we must transform everything into its superREUSE.

Résumé:
This book presents 27 years of Deanna Dikeman photographing her parents waving goodbye as she left their home after a visit. Just as she was driving away, Dikeman invariably pointed her camera at her parents. What started with a candid snapshot in 1991 turned into a ritual over the years. The book chronicles their farewells as seasons change and years go by, separating black and white photographs from colour photographs. "Leaving and waving" — which was originally part of a larger body of work entitled "Relative moments" — is a heartfelt exploration of family, the passage of time and the sadness of leaving.

The three works selected for this volume on Tadao Ando are not recent in chronological terms. However, the quality of being novel is one of the least appropriate ways to approach the Japanese architect’s work, which is wholly disassociated from this.

Résumé:
The three works selected for this volume on Tadao Ando are not recent in chronological terms. However, the quality of being novel is one of the least appropriate ways to approach the Japanese architect’s work, which is wholly disassociated from this. The three houses – in Osaka, Ashiya (Hyogo), and Tokyo – can be described as symbolic junctures in Ando’s exploration of residential design, with clear differences in their respective scales, plans, and contexts, but with an identical radical approach through which the building’s form reacts to these conditions and transforms them into its intrinsic qualities. Includes an extensive text and photographs by Yukio Futagawa.

Sans oublier le parc du mont Royal aménagé par le père de l’architecture paysagiste en Amérique du Nord, Frederick Law Olmsted, qui donna son nom au chemin qui mène à trois sites d’un grand intérêt : La Croix, le belvédère et le lac aux Castors. Les peintures à l’huile de Tex Dawson accompagnent magnifiquement le texte.

Résumé:
Modern glass facades are technically demanding and fascinating in design. Glass as a building material has diverse characteristics, even contrary on occasion, and architects are increasingly using the high design potential of fully glazed facades in representative building projects outside of the typical office typology. An essay by Christian Schittich opens an exploration of this transformative element of architecture through fourteen works designed by as many architects. Projects range from a Shanghai tea house by Atelier Deshaus and Mikkelsen Arkitekter’s Rambøll Headquarters in Copenhagen, to works by Atelier Kempe Thill, Wiel Arets, Pezo von Ellrichshausen and more.
