Résumé:
Through a collection of essays and case studies, ''Water Works'' shows over sixty careful responses to flooding, draught, pollution, extraction and other issues around freshwater. Divided into seven themes: Purity, Wild, Scale, Representation, Violence, Infrastructure and Commerce, ''Water Works'' allows us to learn from places and makers that build on the intricate relationships between people and other life forms, materials and (infra)structures. Critically blending knowledge derived from craft, art, science and ecology, these works ask: what are sensible ways to embrace and connect with water? Through wading, floating, testing and tasting, how can we generate more desirable ecosocial relations? In facing large-scale engineering, climate change, privatization and other forms of water violence, these works are an invitation to design together with water as a site and medium for ecosocial renewal.

Similar to the way we might interact with fallen leaves, blossoms, and plants encountered on the street or in the park, the images in ‘Plant Scans’ are not reproduced to scale and not bound in any specific order. This means that every copy has differently ordered pages and is therefore unique. The book also comes with a small magnifying sheet, allowing the aspiring(...)

This means that every copy has differently ordered pages and is therefore unique. The book also comes with a small magnifying sheet, allowing the aspiring botanist in all of us to better observe the minute details found in this collection of organic scans. Singapore-based graphic designers Jamie Yeo and Gideon Kong are responsible for the concept and design of this series.

Résumé:
A precarious balance between the human and natural worlds comes to the fore in Scott McFarland's large-scale photographs of meticulously maintained private gardens. These gorgeous yet exacting images reveal the precarious balance between human and natural worlds and how photography’s link to reality is both true and fabricated. This publication explores how McFarland manipulates the photograph to depict a state of harmony and peacefulness that borders on artificiality. Scott McFarland lives and works in Vancouver. This publication is the first substantial overview of his work.

Résumé:
The magazine takes a moment to reflect on the point of connection between water, architecture, and people. Spanning six Nordic countries, the nineteen projects featured in this issue explore diverse pursuits, from the rehabilitation of industrial ports into lively urban centres, to questions of accessibility and the extension of habitable space onto and into bodies of water. Examples such as Lonna Sauna in Helsinki by OOPEAA and Bademaschinen in Oslo by ACT! and Borhaven Arkitekter continue the region’s historical wellness practices, while urban-scale developments like Copenhagen’s Nordhavn by Cobe tackle the challenge of designing for a future marked by climate change.

Résumé:
Tony Fretton Architects covers different dimensions and typologies, from government buildings and public offices, to multipurpose cultural spaces and collective or private housing. The architecture is characterised by its high quality and sensory experience, not only in the daily use of spaces but also from a social perspective and urban scale. Powerfully direct, Tony Fretton’s work is elaborated from refreshingly uncomplicated architectural strategies. Featured here are twelve examples of his work, including Kapoor House in Chelsea, the new British Embassy in Warsaw, Prinsendam and Houthaven residential blocks in Amsterdam, Dunant Gardens in Ghent, and more.

Résumé:
Over a period of three decades, from 1958 to 1988, the New South Wales Government Architect’s Office (GAO) in Australia realised nearly a thousand buildings across the state. This enormous production was the direct result of an ideological choice, one that involved a brutal commitment to building architecture that was merely adequate. In terms of scale and ambition, the GAO’s operation resembles the laying out of the Roman Empire. It built the infrastructure that holds the territory together, and in doing so literally constructed the state while obliterating the pre-existing country. Through numerous examples, this volume meticulously documents the phenomenon.
