Résumé:
Led by Pritzker Prize–winning artistic director Alejandro Aravena (born 1967), the Elemental studio, based in Santiago, Chile, possesses a diversely skilled staff whose analytical approach has produced highly original solutions to social challenges such as the housing shortage in Santiago's poorer neighborhoods. Instead of designing cheap housing, Elemental builds "half houses" at the same cost and enables buyers to build the other half themselves. This combination of good design with the engagement of the buyers creates more sustainable housing areas. The studio works on both large and small scales in Chile and in the rest of the world; all projects bear the marks of their pragmatic approach. "Alejandro Aravena: Elemental" portrays the company's working methods and provides examples of its most important projects.

Résumé:
This edition begins with a conversation with Pier Vittorio Aureli and MartinoTattara, the founders of Dogma, an architectural firm concerned with the relationship between architecture and the city. By focusing mostly on urban design and large-scale projects, they consult with municipalities and agencies for urban planning and architectural issues. Atypically, El Croquis is this time only featuring plans not yet constructed, including a model for a city of 4,000,000 Inhabitants, a proposal for 44 social housing units, and a prototype for boarding houses in London. Timely articles about urban transformation follow, including an interesting genealogy of housing for the laboring classes.

In a section on the ‘Corporate Drive to be in Good Shape’, the Hyundai education and research training facility gives workers breathability between sea and mountain in Gyeongju. An all-timber construction of a Norwegian bank in Stavanger has a positive effect on user experience and well being. In ‘Learning within Location and Place’, the patterns of Sami indigenous people shape a major Swedish school. New projects include a Möbius strip-inspired lakeside cultural complex.

Résumé:
With Common Space, activist and architect Stavros Stavrides calls for a reconceiving of public and private space in the modern age. Stavrides appeals for a new understanding of common space not only as something that can be governed and open to all, but as an essential aspect of our world that expresses, encourages, and exemplifies new forms of social relations and shared experiences. He shows how these spaces are created, through a fascinating global examination of social housing, self-built urban settlements, street peddlers, and public art and graffiti. The first book to explicitly tackle the notion of the city as commons, Common Space, offers an insightful study into the links between space and social relations, revealing the hidden emancipatory potential within our urban worlds.

Résumé:
The photograph Joel Sternfeld has selected sixty representative historic or present American co-housing "utopias" or communities. A photograph of each is accompanied by a brief text that summarizes the most salient aspects of the history or organization of the community. Neither a conventional history nor a conventional book of photography, "Sweet earth" brings together what might otherwise seem disparate, individualized social phenomena and makes visible the community of communities.
