The cars and phones are greater visual cues. But it is a very different world we live in today.'' - TB Tony Bock is a British-born photographer who emigrated to Canada with his parents in 1952. His photographs provide a glimpse into the changing social and cultural fabric of Toronto during a time of significant transformation. Bock worked as photographer for the Toronto Star for over 30 years.

Résumé:
The firm Christoph Hesse Architects addresses the challenges of rural areas by questioning and reinterpreting traditional structures of villages and landscapes in unconventional ways. Raised on a farm in the Hochsauerland region of Germany, Christoph Hesse brings his deep connection to nature and agricultural life to the projects, which are often developed in collaboration with local and international partners. Focusing on five central themes, "Rural rebellion" presents a selection of spatial interventions through striking models, large-scale panoramic drawings, films, portrait photos and statements by the "Rural rebels". The exhibition illustrates how the projects create social, environmental and economical focal points, enabling a future-oriented transformation – one that not only improves life in the countryside, but also redefines it as a source of innovation and societal progress.

Monogamy has played a central role in modernity, shaping our concepts of love, relationships, and family. In ''Monogamous Mind, Polyamorous Terror'', Spanish writer Brigitte Vasallo explores how mechanisms of love are deeply rooted in societal and individual norms, rather than being freely chosen.

Résumé:
Monogamy has played a central role in modernity, shaping our concepts of love, relationships, and family. In ''Monogamous Mind, Polyamorous Terror'', Spanish writer Brigitte Vasallo explores how mechanisms of love are deeply rooted in societal and individual norms, rather than being freely chosen. Originally published in Spanish and now a global bestseller, this groundbreaking text reveals how the notions of state, nation, and identity – founded on codes of exclusivity, possession, and hierarchy – are intertwined with monogamy. Drawing on extensive historical research through the lens of social and affective organisation, Vasallo challenges one of the most entrenched pillars of Western society. She unveils the potential for a radical transformation in our relationships – whether erotic, familial, or communal – pointing towards a new, inclusive approach for a different world.

Langarita Navarro document the two lives, ephemeral and temporary, of their installation ‘Red Bull Music Academy – Nave de Música' in the Matadero warehouse. Atelierdacosta provide a detailed overview of the production of "Casa Crespo", questioning both their work and the discipline of architecture itself. Kwong Von Glinow reproduce the microcosm of "Ardmore House" as a transformation of the typical wooden frame house into a complex alternative in terms of space and programme. Co.Creation.Architects present their community work that precedes their built projects, called the co-creation process, focusing on the case of "Urban River Spaces".

Résumé:
''Standpoint Autotheory'' encompasses a multitude of manifestations of radically self-reflexive research attitudes. It traces research based artistic practices through twelve contributions that propose a performative integration of the personal within the production of theory and explore the entanglements of subjectivity with criticality aimed at social transformation by questioning dominant epistemologies. The positions assembled in the book are permeated by different modes of thinking and practice such as autoethnography, practices of the self, auto-historia teoría, standpoint theories, strong objectivity and situated knowledge, self-authority, narrativity and storytelling, radical positioning, performative philosophy, autofiction, thinking-feeling, and other methods that, through the interrogation of embodied experiences, illuminate the connections between the personal and the political, as well as the individual and the communal.

This unique book, written by local experts in the city, deals with the transformation of Barcelona during the last twenty years. Barcelona has been held up as a model of urban planning and economic regeneration amongst built environment professionals. The redesign of square parks and streets throughout the city in the 1980's first attracted attention and praise and then the 1992 Olympics hosted in the city raised international awareness. The city received many awards and accolades including a Gold Medal from the RIBA. The selection of writings is well illustrated throughout with maps, drawings and photographs and will be of interest to architects, planners and urban designers as well as those interested in the social and economic impacts of regeneration.

Résumé:
The transformation that has taken place in Mallorca during the last 50 years was unimaginable, especially for elderly residents. However, the last decade has been the one in which the island suffered a lack of control more centred on speculation and not so much on necessity. Certainly Mallorca depends on tourism (no other alternative, providing similar or better prospects, has been presented yet). Aware of the need, we built a territory too fast. In this book, a look from the outside is proposed, taken by people with a relationship to the island, with an affection for it, but who, from a distance, can offer a fresher opionion of what could happen. Texts are provided by architects, designers, biolgists, etc. Photographs are by Jordi Bernado.

Résumé:
Plus célèbre pour ses motifs floraux que pour son engagement politique, William Morris (1834-1896) consacre pourtant une partie de sa vie à dénoncer les contradictions internes du capitalisme. À travers ses discours, ses utopies politiques ou sa pratique artistique, il alerte sur les effets destructeurs de l’industrialisme, tant écologiques que sociaux. Convaincu que la beauté donne sens à l’existence, il appelle à la convivialité, à l’épanouissement personnel et à l’émancipation collective, grâce à la réappropriation des activités créatrices. Florent Bussy nous montre que sa vision d’une société fondée sur le partage plutôt que la concurrence, l’égalité plutôt que la domination, la beauté plutôt que l’artifice, la qualité plutôt que le gaspillage est une source d’inspiration inestimable pour tout projet de transformation sociale radicale.

Résumé:
Sebastia~o Salgado brings together 65 duotone photographs from his epic project "Genesis," offering a visual survey of some of the planet’s most remote and ice-bound regions. From the ice fields of Patagonia and the peaks of the Himalayas to the vast shelves of Antarctica and the volcanic flanks of Kamchatka, these images record the forms, textures, and scale of glacial landscapes around the world. Shot in Salgado’s large-format, black-and-white style, the photographs emphasize the physical presence of ice—its ridges, fractures, density, and drift. Light and shadow reveal the structural complexity of each scene, from massive crevasses to the delicate patterns of wind-swept snow. An essay by climate scientist Elisa Palazzi examines the science of glacier formation, transformation, and decline.

Résumé:
"The New Design Museum" brings together theories and voices from leading international institutions and independent initiatives addressing the transformed––and continually transforming––nature of design in the twenty-first century and its planetary scope in both practical and discursive dimensions. By mapping a new landscape of institutional practices across different geographical locations, it reveals how spaces of culture dedicated to design need transformation—of their missions, programs, and outreach platforms—to respond to an ever-expanding outlook on design as a field that is moving beyond its traditional presentation as an object-based practice. This book ultimately examines the critical role of cultural institutions as engines for knowledge production, where a democratic politics of mutual care and shared purpose can be explored and exercised.
