Résumé:
Dutch photographer Erik van der Weijde uses a simple book of full-page, black-and-white photographs without text to present architect Oscar Niemeyer’s monumental work in the modernist city of Brasília. These images of the so-called utopian city are stark and carefully devoid of people. In this way, Van der Weijde chooses for a clear focus on the structures and urban spaces, lending the series an architectural purity and imparting some of the grand scale of the city, perhaps even agreeing with the critics who have referred to it as dehumanising and full of elegant monotony.

Résumé:
Richard Serra’s hugely successful body of work consistently explores the possibilities of form and matter. Serra’s steel sculptures are held in major collections internationally, and his drawings assert themselves as abstract victories. Through the use of black paintstick—a combination of oil paint, wax, and pigment, to which he has used since 1971—Serra’s drawings convey a strong sense of optical weight, acutely similar to the physical presence of his sculptures. 2022, the artist’s largest single forged round to date, investigates properties of weight and scale.

The revival of ornament has seen a resurgence of interest in wallpaper design. Wallpaper is back, but this time it is different.

Graphic designers and illustrators are playing with scale and using walls as their canvases while fashion and textile designers are transferring their fabric prints to paper. This book is a showcase of fresh and innovative wallpaper designs from 50 artists.

Résumé:
This issue highlights the work of adama-faiden, founded in Buenos Aires in 2005 by Sebastián Adamo and Marcelo Faiden. Nearly two decades of work is traced through 34 projects in chronological order. From small residential projects in their early years, the studio has transitioned into an increasingly diverse practice, including a high-rise in central Buenos Aires and social housing in Europe. Regardless of scale, what remains consistent in their work is a considered approach to urban environments and a sensitivity to airflow. Their designs often feature permeable facades and cohabitating plants, creating a soft, fluid connection between interior and exterior.
