Résumé:
When Ise Gropius (1897–1983) embarked on a three-month trip to Japan with her husband, architect Walter Gropius, in 1954, she proved to be a gifted chronicler. In detailed reports – her only known cohesive writings from the post-war period – she vividly describes the country and its people. With keen wit and understanding, she comments on everything from discussions about reconstruction, lectures, and the Bauhaus exhibition in Tokyo, to evening parties, the role of Japanese women, Zen Buddhism, and the local cuisine. Extensively annotated by art historian and editor Almut Grunewald, this volume publishes Ise’s travelogues in facsimile for the first time.

Résumé:
The Mexican firm Tatiana Bilbao Estudio takes centre stage in this issue, with projects that are representative of values developed over nearly two decades of practice. The studio prioritises the communities for whom it builds while also seeking to understand the socio-environmental frameworks. Evident from the studio’s portfolio is a playful approach to scale, geometry, and materiality. Projects range from large-scale master planning and building design to residences and precise interventions that serve an existing community, such as reconstruction following a disaster. Further, a selection of key exhibitions captures the breadth of the studio’s research into private and public space.

En posant son regard sur l’architecture souvent peu valorisée de la Reconstruction ou vers les nouveaux faubourgs, il vise à décentrer le champ habituel du patrimoine.

This book is Robert Polidori’s portrait of the interiors of the now demolished Hotel Petra in Beirut, a grand icon of the city’s prewar history. The Hotel Petra was once one of the most popular hotels in Beirut, conveniently located in the city center adjacent to the Grand Theatre. After the Lebanese Civil War of 1975–90, Rafiq al-Hariri founded a holding company, Solidere, whose goal was the selective demolition and reconstruction of downtown Beirut’s urban fabric. In 1992 the Hotel Petra was set aside for later restoration, and from that moment essentially cut off from any human intervention.

Résumé:
Le présent ouvrage, qui a pour objet central l’étude du Plan général de reconstruction de Moscou de 1935, propose de nuancer l’histoire urbaine soviétique écrite à travers l’unique prisme de la verticalité du pouvoir. Il met en évidence les nombreuses permanences, matérielles, idéelles et humaines, ainsi que les approches pragmatiques du projet de la part des décideurs, en premier lieu Staline et Kaganovitch. Servie par une riche iconographie, cette analyse, au-delà du cas moscovite, met en lumière comment les architectes et les urbanistes se positionnent, créent et innovent, dans et malgré un contexte de contrôle absolu.

Résumé:
From Reconstruction through Jim Crow, through the protest era of the 1960s and ’70s, to current-day resistance and activism such as the Black Lives Matter movement, the material culture of the Civil Rights Movement has been integral to its goals and tactics. During decades of sit-ins, marches, legal challenges, political campaigns, boycotts, and demonstrations, objects such as buttons, flyers, pins, and posters have been key in the fight against racism, oppression, and violence. This volume presents more than 200 of these nonviolent weapons alongside the stories of the activists, organizations, and campaigns that defined and propelled the cause of civil rights.
