Résumé:
The 13th edition of the Flanders Architectural Review brings together the most high-profile examples of recent architecture in Flanders. Like the mustard factory on the cover, the selected buildings raise questions about the significance of form in architecture. Almost fifty projects are covered by means of extensive plans and photos and they give rise to a critical reflection on current developments in Flemish architecture. The book includes articles that deal with such topics as the poetry of utility buildings, the responsibility of architecture for the landscape, the exploration of a new scale and the individual character of Flemish architecture abroad. What the visual essays by four leading photographers have in common is a serious interest in the concrete physical experience. They view the architectural object not as something static, but as a beckoning space that should be explored, studied, tried and tested.

Résumé:
''Sustainability is not enough'' reflects on the many organisations and initiatives that sit beyond conventional definition – organisations who play important roles in supporting the work of artists, and who often form the underpinnings of our artistic ecology. Taking its cue from the LODGERS programme organised collaboratively by M HKA and AIR ANTWERPEN from 2015 to 2018, the book provides the case studies of sixteen initiatives from the Eurocore region, considering the reasons they exist, their ways of working with artists and their means of survival. ''Sustainability is not enough'' offers itself as a resource for thinking about the possibilities of a broader spectrum of organisational models for providing artists with valuable spaces of opportunity, exchange and freedom.

His set of master prints of this project, spiral-bound into an album, have been kept on his studio shelves for the past 60 years. Now available for the first time, a limited edition facsimile of this body of work provides insight into Shulman’s early working methods, and his unique ability to capture not only the aesthetic, but also the emotional, intention of designs. This publication is limited to 1,000 copies, each housed in a transparent slipcase for protection.

Résumé:
The pioneers of ecological architecture today are necessarily researchers as much as architects, in any conventional sense of the term. Sustainability is the key criterion in this field, and ecologically sound solutions for the designs of homes are the key challenge (homes the most commonly built structure). Ecological Living assesses a selection of some recently built ecological habitats, collecting several built examples from a variety of French architects, examining precursors such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto and Pierre Lajus, plus proposals for European architects and architecture students and inquiries into the ecological viability of detached housing and tower blocks.
