Résumé:
"Urban Grids: Handbook for Regular City Design" is the result of a five-year design research project undertaken by professor Joan Busquets and Dingliang Yang at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. The research that is the foundation for this publication emphasizes the value of open forms for city design, a publication that specifically insists that the grid has the unique capacity to absorb and channel urban transformation flexibly and productively. "Urban Grids" analyzes cities and urban projects that utilize the grid as the main structural device for allowing rational development, and goes further to propose speculative design projects capable of suggesting new urban paradigms drawn from the grid as a design tool.

Résumé:
Albania is a young democracy, home to nearly three million people. The country sits at the heart of the Mediterranean; its geographic location has long shaped the country’s cultural exchanges and built environment. Three decades after the collapse of the communist regime, Albania remains in transition – culturally, socially and architecturally. This ongoing renewal has placed architecture at the center of national discourse and created a specific opportunity for architects. “The Albanian Files” focuses on that transformation. This book brings together sixty international offices currently working in Albania, some of which have been active in the country since the early 2000s. Each office submitted a contribution with reflections on their experiences in Albania and on architecture built and proposed.

Résumé:
Our new editorial cycle, Transformers, begins from the reckoning that transformation in the arts has never been linear. For us at AWC, it flourishes in repetition, meandering, and the subtle work of what often goes unnoticed. Rather than asking what is new, Transformers—not the 2007 blockbuster, but the era it anticipated, a spectacle of war, digitalization, and(...)

Résumé:
Our new editorial cycle, Transformers, begins from the reckoning that transformation in the arts has never been linear. For us at AWC, it flourishes in repetition, meandering, and the subtle work of what often goes unnoticed. Rather than asking what is new, Transformers—not the 2007 blockbuster, but the era it anticipated, a spectacle of war, digitalization, and profit—attends to what has been quietly shifting as new configurations of power, labor, and life crystallize. The unfolding chronicle of atrocities revealed in the Jeffrey Epstein files exposes how greed underwrites tribalism, and how the dismantling of an already iniquitous globalism has been further engineered to concentrate wealth in the hands of the fewest of the few.

Résumé:
Focusing on the Oxford University Museum, the Edinburgh Museum of Science and Art, and the Natural History Museum of London, Yanni explores how such institutions reflected varying, often contradictory concepts of nature -- from the handiwork of God to a resource to be exploited. She explains how the rise of museums accompanied and influenced the transformation of science from a "gentleman's hobby" to a paying profession. And she shows how the buildings themselves remain invaluable guides to the Victorians' ambiguous perception of the natural world. Through careful social and historical accounts of the buildings, their displays, and their reception, Yanni's work deepens our understanding of the emerging power of museums in Darwin's century.

Résumé:
Cette publication fait état des recherches de l’artiste Yanik Potvin sur la pratique de la céramique. Lors d’une résidence qui a eu lieu au centre Bang de Chicoutimi, Potvin a performé l’argile en compagnie d’autres artistes, amalgamant l’événement à la pratique de l’objet. Suite à ce projet et d’après la pratique de Yanik, un archéologue et un écrivain posent chacun leur regard historique et anthropologique autant qu’artistique et philosophique sur cette discipline ici décloisonnée. L’artiste y propose également ses écrits de recherche sur le contexte de production et le processus de transformation de l’argile comme production humaine autant qu’artistique. Il émet le désir de créer de « [...] nouveaux contours qui poseront les jalons d’une anthropologie créative. »

Résumé:
This fourth book in a series of monographs on projects by h2o architectes looks back at the Chapelle Charbon urban development project in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, part of a major transformation of north-eastern Paris and, in particular, the area around Porte de la Chapelle. The project proposed by h2o aims to transform a former indus- trial and rail logistics site perceived as a nuisance into a new destination, in particular by connecting all the former dead-end roads to open up the site. The project is based on the creation of a large park of over 6 hectares, delivered in advance of the construction of new housing and roads.

Résumé:
radition and precedent inspire invention, architectural drawing, and media practice. This issue of AD presents a series of encounters with printed drawings, leading to their transformation and reimagination. Archival media from the John Nichols Printmakers & Publishers Collection, located at the A83 gallery in New York City, becomes the foundation for a series of new works by contemporary architects. Collectively exhibited at A83 under the title ''The Sixth Somewhat Annual Meeting'', these drawings explore ways archival artifacts can be newly activated, how intricate material objects invite non-normative readings, and how shifts in media forms produce complex differential effects. The contributors address these concerns through close engagement with specific works, expanding the conversation between drawing, archive, and publication.

Résumé:
Vivons-nous dans des villes néolibérales ? Gentrification, envol des valeurs immobilières, éviction des populations précaires : villes et métropoles sont aujourd'hui le théâtre d'une explosion des inégalités et des processus d'exclusion. Afin d'attirer les capitaux et les populations associés à la nouvelle économie, des politiques toujours plus agressives y sont menées : marketing urbain, grands projets d'aménagement, course aux labels et aux grands événements. Ces bouleversements, qui transforment l'expérience même de la ville, s'expliquent pour de nombreux observateurs par l'imposition depuis les années 1980 d'un nouvel ordre idéologique, politique et économique : le néolibéralisme. Gilles Pinson expose dans une synthèse aussi pédagogique que critique les théories qui font du néolibéralisme la force principale de transformation des villes et des politiques.

Résumé:
Inspired by the idea of Shinrin-yoku, or "forest bathing," Neil Kehler’s photographs explore the darker and more entangled realities of the forest. Set in Mi’kma’ki (Nova Scotia), the work challenges romantic visions of landscape by focusing on rot, density, shadow, and the slow processes of transformation that shape the natural world. Branches, fungal growth, and dense undergrowth gather into spaces that resist easy clarity or distance. The viewer is drawn into a landscape that feels physical, immersive, and at times uneasy. Rather than presenting nature as calm spectacle or escape from contemporary life, Kehler’s photographs ask us to slow down, look closely, and reconsider our place within an environment that exists on its own terms.
