Résumé:
Bringing together essays and architectural projects that discuss housing as a key component in the social and urban development of the Ethiopian capital, which has undergone rapid changes over the past two decades – and led to disruptive consequences for the city’s physical and social fabric. Housing has been one of the key factors in this transformation, impacting job creation, craftsmanship, social and spatial equality, dwelling practices, and more. Presenting twelve projects developed by graduate students from TU Delft’s Global Housing educational programme, the book explores alternative approaches to housing design from the perspective of this urban revolution.

Résumé:
This edition begins with a conversation with Pier Vittorio Aureli and MartinoTattara, the founders of Dogma, an architectural firm concerned with the relationship between architecture and the city.

Atypically, El Croquis is this time only featuring plans not yet constructed, including a model for a city of 4,000,000 Inhabitants, a proposal for 44 social housing units, and a prototype for boarding houses in London. Timely articles about urban transformation follow, including an interesting genealogy of housing for the laboring classes.

Résumé:
With the help of the neologism ''resortization,'' this issue discusses the structural transformation currently underway in the domain of art, which compels it to resemble a resort-like environment. In particular, this term encapsulates the tendency of various Blue-Chip Galleries to follow their well-to-do clientele into the reclusion of exclusive luxury enclaves such as Aspen, Saint-Tropez or Monte-Carlo. The issue also engages with the increasing relevance of digital media, which not only plays a growing part in informing processes of recognition but fundamentally influences the conditions under which artistic work is made and experienced.

In this fourth volume, Atelier Bow-Wow delves into the window behavioural characteristics in nordic architecture, showing how climate and culture are strongly reflected in their windows. The works and influences of six architects are featured: Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz from Sweden, Alvar Aalto from Finland, and from Denmark, Kay Fisker, Arne Jacobsen and Jørn Utzon. After three years of research, the team visited about 235 works and measured 470 windows. 114 selected works are presented with photographs, detailed drawings, and analyses, examining the transformation of window technology and design, and the history and social issues of each country.

Résumé:
Designed by the architects’s themselves, this monograph is published in conjunction with an exhibition of their work at the Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine in Paris. The illustrated monograph gathers all the projects that have been designed by the office and presents them in thematic groups, such as beginnings, landscape, dreams, freedom, transformation and the city – together, these themes are woven into a story that challenges the architects’s proposals. In denying the obvious, the architects seek to emphasise what is essential and specific to each situation and context, while in turn proposing an architecture that celebrates freedom.

Résumé:
Based on archival, artistic, and architectural evidence, Stephen Bowd presents an innovative microhistory of a fascinating, yet historically neglected city. He shows how Brescian loyalty to Venice was repeatedly tested by a succession of disasters: assault by Milanese forces, economic downturn, demographic collapse, and occupation by French and Spanish armies intent on dismembering the Venetian empire. In spite of all these troubles the city experienced a cultural revival and a dramatic political transformation under Venetian rule, which Bowd describes and uses to illuminate the process of state formation in one of the most powerful regions of Renaissance Italy.

Written by landscape historian Alessandra Ponte, this collection of essays begins with an investigation of the American obsession with lawns and then continues to collectively map the aesthetic, scientific and technological production of past and present North American landscapes. These include the American desert as a privileged site of scientific and artistic testing; the faraway projects of electrification of the Canadian North; the transformation of the notion and perception of waste and wasteland during the twentieth century; the photographic medium and its encounters with Native Americans; as well as an introductory essay, 'The Map and the Territory', written specifically for this volume.

There is no life without water. Burtynsky's new book Water tells us the story of where water comes from, how we use it, distribute and waste it. Often using a bird's-eye perspective, the photographer shows us its remote sources, remarkable ancient step-wells and mass bathing rituals, the transformation of desert into cities with waterfronts on each doorstep, the compromised landscapes of the American Southwest. Furthermore, Burtynsky explores the infrastructure of water management: the gigantic hydroelectric dams and terraced rice fields in the heart of China, the vast irrigation systems of America's bread basket and the use of aquaculture.

Résumé:
Artiste de l'image numérique née à Montréal en 1969, Isabelle Hayeur est reconnue pour ses montages photographiques de grand format, ses vidéos et ses installations in situ, dans lesquels elle met en évidences les aberrations de l'urbanisation, de l'étalement urbain et de l'industrialisation de nos sociétés. Son enfance à Bois-des-Filion en banlieue de Montréal, est déterminante pour sa pratique artistique. Comme c'est le cas dans plusieurs villes périphériques au Québec, et plus généralement dans le monde industrialisé, le paysage y est soumis à une transformation perpétuelle. Cette publication contient l'exposition produite par EXPRESSION, le centre d'exposition de Saint-Hyacinthe.
