In the latest issue of the Strategy series, a+t extends its field of research to the system of tactics.

Résumé:
Designers today are striving to transform our relationship with the natural world. Although humans are intrinsically linked to nature, our actions have frayed this relationship, forcing designers to think more intentionally and to consider the impact of every design decision, from an artifact's manufacture and use to its obsolescence. As a result, designers are aligning with biologists, engineers, agriculturists, environmentalists and many other specialists to design a more harmonious and regenerative future. Based on these new partnerships, designers are asking different questions and anticipating future challenges, which not only change the design process, but also what design means.

Résumé:
This publication explores the significance of encounters between people and culture in public spaces, points of encounter where they may take place, and counterpoints which may be contained, silenced, or expressed within them. It presents the process and initial outcomes of a three-year investigation into the design of tactical interventions, actions, strategies, and other experiences for revitalising and enhancing the quality of marginal and neglected public spaces in today’s European cities. Public spaces are where many of the contests and negotiations over culture and integration are taking place, whether through participatory activities, activism, or the appropriation in and of these spaces.
Keep walking intently: the ambulatory art of Surrealists, the Situationist International and Fluxus

Résumé:
Walking, that most basic of human actions, was transformed in the twentieth century by Surrealism, the Situationist International, and Fluxus into a tactic for revolutionizing everyday life. Each group chose locations in the urban landscape as sites—from the flea markets and bars of Paris to the sidewalks of New York—and ambulation as the essential gesture. Keep Walking(...)

Résumé:
Walking, that most basic of human actions, was transformed in the twentieth century by Surrealism, the Situationist International, and Fluxus into a tactic for revolutionizing everyday life. Each group chose locations in the urban landscape as sites—from the flea markets and bars of Paris to the sidewalks of New York—and ambulation as the essential gesture. Keep Walking Intently traces the meandering and peculiar footsteps of these avant-garde artists as they moved through the city, encountering the marvelous, studying the environment, and re-enchanting the banal. Art historian Lori Waxman reveals the radical potential that walking holds for us all.

Le projet comme espoir. L’ouvrage se focalise sur le rôle du projet des villes et des territoires en tant qu'agent dans la construction sociale de l'espoir. Car, notre capacité de prévision d’un futur de plus en plus incertain se trouve limitée, comme le sont aussi, dans une société pluraliste, nos capacités individuelles et collectives de coordonner les actions de tous les sujets qui contribuent à la construction, à la transformation et à la modification de la ville. En revanche, et sans aucune certitude, nous pouvons proposer, de manière désenchantée, des « scénarios » comme autant de lignes possibles de raisonnement.

The project contributes to the implementation of an active urban society, emphasising the increasing importance of urban environments globally. Becoming playfully and publically engaged allows architects, visual artists and urbanists from Cyprus and other European countries to assist and criticise everyday urban processes and spatial practices through a range of tactics and actions, a variety of which are documented in texts and photos.

Résumé:
This pocket-sized book by young Estonian artist Triin Tamm was published as a contribution to the exhibition ‘If it’s part broke, half fix it.’ at the Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius, in 2011. Known for embracing simultaneity, incoherence, multiplicity, and clumsiness juxtaposed with perfection, Tamm participates in the production of small crafts, minute actions and simple writings to express a sense of freedom in both the mundane and the paths less travelled. Here she explores the contents of an eclectic selection of books encompassing an assortment of divergent but related themes, from typography to linguistics and from spirituality to symbolism.

Le Svalbard, dont l’île principale est Spitzberg, subit de plein fouet les incidences des actions humaines délétères. Ici, au-delà du cercle polaire arctique, la température augmente six à sept fois plus qu’ailleurs. La banquise et les glaciers sont en sursis et le dérèglement en cours sur cet archipel, aujourd’hui sentinelle du climat, nous met en garde contre un avenir mortel. Après plusieurs passages sur ce territoire à bord de navires scientifiques, la photographe Férial est animée par la seule volonté de dire non à l’insouciance des hommes qui effacent peu à peu cette étoile dans la nuit.

Résumé:
''Re-Thinking Re-Use'' is a dialogue and collaboration between Dutch and Japanese (building) cultures, where differing perspectives enrich and inspire one another. By learning from each other’s traditions and views on old, new and change, the project seeks a new and guiding balance. It embraces the reuse and transformation of existing buildings, structures and materials, encouraging an exchange between generations of architects and builders, and between innovation and craftsmanship. At a time when the construction sector faces the ecological impact of its actions, ''Re-Thinking Re-Use'' offers a sustainable perspective, rooted in continuity and evolution within the built environment.
