Artisanal production in Cairo takes place in open-air workshops and directly on the street. Stucco producers in the city are grouped into clusters where interior walls and facades are covered with patterns and serve as a catalogue of ornaments. The result is often chaotic and grotesque.

Stucco producers in the city are grouped into clusters where interior walls and facades are covered with patterns and serve as a catalogue of ornaments. The result is often chaotic and grotesque. Decorative styles of the Belle Époque are deconstructed and reassembled as a spatial collage, while symbols from pop culture are juxtaposed with historical forms. In his photos, Luc Merx reveals these unique aesthetics and diverse references to building practice and art history. The plaster casts reflect Egypt’s contradictory relationship to its colonial past, to modernity, and to the country’s own identity.

Résumé:
Architects, historians, and theorists have been obsessed with fascist architecture since postmodernism. But who are the antifascist architects? What does antifascist architecture look like? This book is the first attempt at creating a working definition. Significant scholarship has already been presented about anti-colonial architecture, militant modernism, liberation architecture, and so forth, yet antifascist architecture is an avenue that remains to be explored. "Antifascist architecture" collects a kaleidoscope of diverse architects who heroically aligned themselves with antifascist struggles around the world. It is written for students and practitioners of architecture, but also activists and scholars in the social sciences who are interested in antifascist history, theory, and practice.

This book explores the history, planning, and design of urban settlements across the Arctic, tracing how they have been formed by colonial expansion, Indigenous cultures, resource extraction, and welfare-state ambitions. It examines the complex relationships between landscape, infrastructure, and community, while considering the challenges and opportunities facing northern cities today. Against a backdrop of climate change, globalisation, and shifting geopolitical interests, the book reflects on how Arctic urban communities can navigate an uncertain future and reimagine their role in a rapidly changing world.

Résumé:
If Euro-America, under the weight of its projected discourses, is able only to imagine the work of individual African artists as metaphor for nation, continent or race, the art of Wangechi Mutu seduces us brutally into the intricacies of the feminine as an embodiment of nation and species. It down-ends the male-centered 'big men' narratives of post-colonial Africa in favor of frightfully powerful animal-spirit women and their constituent body parts. Her work forces our collective engagement with the feminine form in its various conjugations of lover, giver and receptacle, but also as predator and merciless avenger. Michael E. Veal
