Résumé:
''Utopia ending'' investigates the urban transformation of London since the 2012 Olympics, and includes photographs taken between 2014 to 2019. Through images and text, including three interviews and a final essay, the author compares the current finance-driven development of the city with the post-WWII expansion based on council houses: investments in social housing have been almost entirely eradicated and the new buildings are more financial assets for global investors, rather than homes for Londoners. Gianluca Calise is an Italian photographer specialized in long-term documentary projects. His research focuses on social issues and on themes related to identity, belonging and memory. 2019 Daylight Photo Award juror’s pick, finalist at Urban Photo Awards 2018 and Charta Dummy Award 2021, his works have been published and exhibited internationally.

Résumé:
Wallace Neff may have been the preeminent architect of Spanish colonial-revival houses in Southern California. Neff was an inventive designer who was not only adept at manipulating traditional styles to please famous, wealthy clients like Cary Grant, Claudette Colbert, and Darryl Zanuck; he was also a pioneer in low-cost housing and pneumatic building. The Bubble House, as his best-known Airform structure was fondly nicknamed, had a social vision as compelling as that of any modernist housing project. "Wallace Neff and the grand houses of the golden state" tells the life story of this architect, who was raised as Southern California aristocracy - an heir to one of the founders of Rand McNally & Company -- and grew up to influence the course of architectural history in California. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white archival photographs that document Neff's family life and professional accomplishments, journalist Diane Kanner's compelling narrative offers a behind-the-scenes look at the development of residential architecture in Southern California.

Résumé:
Spanish architect Julio Cano Lasso (1920–1996) was celebrated for his rational and austerely engineered buildings as well as his commitment to designing social housing and urban infrastructure. Lasso’s buildings are practical, modern, and immediately recognisable for their bare-bones aesthetic. He was, in the real sense of the word, an eclectic; fusing diverse sources and periods in his built works. Featuring previously unpublished texts by authors such as William J.R. Curtis, Juhani Pallasmaa, Iñaki Ábalos, and Juan Navarro Baldeweg, as well as archival images complemented by recent photographs by Iwan Baan, this volume proudly presents Cano Lasso’s legacy.

Résumé:
This issue looks at continuity, disruption, and evolution in the works of Christ & Gantebein. For this Basel-based firm, founded in 1998 and headed by Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein, constraints in site and programme are welcome opportunities to create spatial surprises. Whether through experimentations in the museum typology, such as the extension of the Swiss National Museum, or domestic architecture, as evidenced by Vaugirard Social Housing, their approach goes beyond recreating basic functions to provide sensitive solutions in terms of urban repair and contemporary spatial issues. Besides recent projects, the issue contains a conversation with the architects.

Résumé:
This issue highlights the work of adama-faiden, founded in Buenos Aires in 2005 by Sebastián Adamo and Marcelo Faiden. Nearly two decades of work is traced through 34 projects in chronological order. From small residential projects in their early years, the studio has transitioned into an increasingly diverse practice, including a high-rise in central Buenos Aires and social housing in Europe. Regardless of scale, what remains consistent in their work is a considered approach to urban environments and a sensitivity to airflow. Their designs often feature permeable facades and cohabitating plants, creating a soft, fluid connection between interior and exterior.

Résumé:
Founders of the Congress for the New Urbanism, Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk are at the forefront of this movement, and in Suburban Nation they assess sprawl's costs to society, be they ecological, economic, aesthetic, or social. It is a lively, thorough, critical lament, and an entertaining lesson on the distinctions between postwar suburbia-characterized by housing clusters, strip malls, office parks, and parking lots-and the traditional neighborhoods that were built as a matter of course until mid-century. It is an indictment of the entire development community, including governments, for the fact that America no longer builds towns.
