Résumé:
The Aedes exhibition and catalogue ''Two Towers,'' dedicated to Álvaro Siza, commemorates his 90th anniversary as one of the most important living architects and a major contributor to contemporary architecture. Siza is famous for his handmade sketches, in which he captures complex situations in order to ease their understanding and resolution. They establish a dialectic rapport between his creative intuition and the material detailing of quality construction. Both the catalog and exhibition illuminate Siza's passion for towers and his fascination with reaching for the sun, while simultaneously focusing on two case studies and their diverging traits: one is taller and the other is shorter, one is private, and the other is public, one is for dwelling, and the other is for protection, one is urban, and the other is rural, one is in reinforced concrete and the other in lightweight steel frame.

Résumé:
This volume presents essays, stories, research and photographs showing how African cities by waterfronts deal with two of the most significant trends of our time: urbanization and a changing climate. On the African continent, the impact of climate change is now an everyday reality. Coastal and waterfront cities in particular experience loss and damage due to significant increases in sea level rise, rainfall and flooding. At the same time, Africa is the second most rapidly urbanizing continent (after Asia). The intersections between water and cities are therefore critical for understanding the future of urban and rural developments in Africa. Through deeper understanding of the innovative and resourceful way of life of informal water communities such as Makoko and coastal cities such as Abidjan, "African water cities" reveals key factors, challenges and opportunities shaping human, physical and economic dynamics.

Résumé:
European emigrés have been changing the face of modern American architecture for decades. Winka Dubbeldam surely belongs to that long list of practitioners. Working across scales — from a New York skyscraper to a rural house — the Dutch-born architect has established herself as one of the most provocative figures in the field by seamlessly integrating function and form, technology and comfort, city and home. Folded glass facades, intelligent building cores, and interactive environments highlight the work of her progressive, process-based studio/laboratory, Archi-Tectonics. As much resource as monograph, "Archi-Tectonics Index" explores Dubbeldam's intense, research-laden approach to over twenty projects, including the highly acclaimed From HardWare to SoftForm exhibition, Aida Hair Salon, and Gipsy Trail Residence. Incisive essays by Detlef Mertins, Javier Barreiro Cavestany, and Michael Speaks complement lush photographs, informative diagrams, and her compelling designs.

Résumé:
This double issue of TC Cuadernos explores two decades of Kengo Kuma & Associates' prolific production, focusing on their urban architecture between 2006 and 2024. Through a careful selection of projects, the monograph offers a comprehensive overview of KKAA's evolution and its constant interplay between the rural, explored in TC 158, and the urban. The work is organised around five key strategies: attract, mimetize, hide, occupy and organise. These categories reveal how Kuma approaches urban design in complex contexts. Projects such as the V Dundee Museum in Scotland and the 1550 Alberni Street Tower in Vancouver demonstrate his ability to create architectural landmarks without resorting to traditional monumentalism, prioritising materiality and the environment. On the other hand, the Asakusa Tourist Information Centre in Tokyo and the Nezu Museum show how his architecture is subtly integrated into the urban landscape.

Résumé:
In "AGITATE! AGITATE! AGITATE!" Cj Reay of Black Lodge Press reflects upon their relationship to DIY print culture, zines, and the politics of art production. Reay lays out a history of DIY print and the people's press: from chapbooks produced during the French revolution to the zines made in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, while outlining their own personal engagement with reading, music, and art that agitates, angers, and incites action. For Cj Reay, growing up in rural Northern England, the inherently anti-capitalist nature of DIY culture provided a connection to radical working class movements and the politics of anarchy: "living breathing movements of resistance and joy and complexity and disappointment and boundless optimism.'" Co-published with Black Lodge Press, "AGITATE! AGITATE! AGITATE!" is a zine about the beauty and radical power of creating art without permission.

Résumé:
The June issue looks at the housing spectrum, with a particular focus on non-market and affordable housing. Odile Hénault starts our journey in Montreal, where two shelters—Le Christin by Atelier Big City and Les Studios du PAS by L. McComber in collaboration with Inform—offer dignity to people experiencing homelessness. We next travel to Beaverton Heights, a transitional housing project in the Region of Durham, Ontario. Designed by Montgomery Sisam Architects, the complex addresses the often-invisible homelessness of a rural area, and expands the aesthetic possibilities of modular construction. In Toronto, we visit Gerrard Healthy Housing by Atkinson Architect, which aims to add gentle density to an established neighbourhood. We also tour Anduhyaun, LGA Architectural Partners’ shelter for Indigenous women, which offers a place of nurture and grounding for its clients. And more...

Résumé:
En un demi-siècle, la société paysanne a connu une mue stupéfiante, dont les effets se sont lus rapidement et violemment dans les paysages. Tandis que les remembrements remodelaient les territoires au gré des nouvelles pratiques agricoles, la standardisation gagnait les édifices désormais bien éloignés de la diversité des constructions traditionnelles. Si cet aboutissement est bien connu, les raisons et les modalités qui l’ont produit demeurent opaques. À travers l’évolution des édifices, cet ouvrage révèle les ressorts politiques, économiques et réglementaires de la transformation du monde rural durant la seconde partie du XXe siècle. Portés par des acteurs divers aux motivations multiples, de l’État aux dépositaires d’intérêts privés, en passant par les territoires, ces nouveaux modes d’organisation des campagnes modifient en profondeur et à un rythme soutenu les paysages, mais également la sociologie et l’organisation du monde paysan.

Résumé:
Ce volume réunit les meilleures propositions architecturales pour loger une escapade dans la nature, ou pour un séjour prolongé voire même permanent dans un environnement naturel. Ces abris de forme compacte et simplifiée offrent tous de multiples possibilités fonctionnelles. En appliquant les technologies les plus actuelles, les architectes ont réussi une série de projets de premier ordre, améliorant ainsi l'ancestral concept du refuge rural. Ces projets sont le résultat d'un exercice de réduction très étudié, et présentent une rentabilisation maximale de l'espace et de la lumière exemplaire, garantissant un confort maximum. Les processus mis en œuvre dans la conception de ces maisons sont de grand intérêt pour n'importe quel professionnel ou étudiant en architecture et design. Illustré par de magnifiques photographies et par des plans, chaque projet est expliqué de manière détaillée par ses propres architectes.
