Résumé:
Partly a retrospective on sacred spaces from the magazine’s archives, this issue presents significant projects that have shaped discourse on fostering transcendent experiences through architecture. Besides providing space for worship, each of the projects conveys innovative architectural approaches to express sacredness: classics like Jørn Utzon’s Bagsværd Church, Seema Malaka by Geoffery Bawa, and Lina Bo Bardi’s Church of the Holy Spirit. The issue also contrasts the various ways architecture can nurture a relationship with a higher force, and adds new spaces for contemplation, like Glenn Murcutt’s Cobar Sound Chapel or Motorway Chapel by Herzog & de Meuron.

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:
Shigeru Ban has earned much praise for his wide-ranging activities and innovative approach to addressing contemporary problems through architecture and design, such as using recycled cardboard tubes as a structural material to provide housing for disaster victims. Besides his dedication to humanitarian efforts, Ban’s interest in materials expresses his minimalist ideology, one that often leads him to choose existing materials and techniques over state-of-the-art solutions. Ban was involved in selecting the more than 100 important works in this publication, divided into five categories, that together reflect a clear departure from other architects of his generation.
