Résumé:
How can architecture deliver on its promises when budgets are tight, tasks are pressing, and resources are limited? A new generation is rethinking the act of building: pragmatic, yet far from simplistic. By concentrating on what truly matters, they achieve unexpectedly inventive outcomes even under austere conditions. Standards, regulations, and established norms can sometimes stand in the way of intelligent ideas – but they can also set them in motion. Building simply remains a complex field. In this issue, we hear from architects who have embraced the discipline of doing more with less.

Résumé:
Les prophéties artistiques ouvrent des perspectives inédites et des brèches dans le temps pour faire tomber les évidences et interroger l’ordre des choses. Les artistes ont ainsi troqué les grandes utopies pour des visions fragmentaires, situées et sensibles. La conscience d’un futur qui se devine et se façonne dans le présent se révèle dans leur regard inquisiteur et dans les formes expressives de leurs pratiques plastiques et médiatiques. Ils et elles prennent ainsi le relais des oracles, des sibylles, des prophètes ou des chamans, à la fois en phase avec le réel et légèrement décalé·e·s, dans un positionnement qui confère à leurs relectures du monde une acuité particulière. Le dossier Prophéties réfléchit aux langages de l’art pour imaginer et pressentir l’avenir, aux rituels déployés pour réécrire l’histoire et à la notion même de croyance.

Résumé:
This issue focuses on how architectural skills are deployed in entertainment to communicate design and form the backdrops for stories to play out. It includes articles on installations, exhibition designs, entertainment architecture, narrative projects, speculations on future human identities, video gaming, and memorial tombs – an international plethora of staged examples of how architectural thinking can bring vitality to situations not usually perceived to be within the realms of traditional practice. The issue engages with popular culture, fictions, art, performance, technology, and architectural history and theory. Exploring the full spectrum of spatial propositions that architects can bring to staging events, the work featured is theatrical and exuberant, and the product of many collaborative architectural voices including curators, artists, performers, digital intelligences, fabricators, and writers.

Résumé:
The first issue of 2026 opens with a tribute to the late Frank Owen Gehry (1929-2025). Larry Wayne Richards looks at how Frank’s legacy intersected with his hometown of Toronto, beyond the AGO and in-construction Forma towers; The editorial parses the news that the Ontario Place Protectors case is heading to the Supreme Court. A coalition is challenging the provincial government’s ability to exempt the waterfront land from environmental and heritage requirements, and to broadly indemnify itself against civil litigation related to the development. This month’s cover story is the redevelopment of Toronto’s Union Station, a 14-year-long project led by NORR Architects & Engineers with heritage architect EVOQ Architecture. Pamela Young examines the comprehensive overhaul, which vastly increases and improves the public realm within Canada’s largest multi-modal transportation hub, equipping it to handle 130 million passengers annually.

Résumé:
"Secular magic," in the words of historian Simon During, is a category designed to differentiate the activity of the modern stage magician from the classical alchemist or occultist. Yet an appraisal of these non-supernatural forms of magical entertainment nevertheless provides the chance to trace the complex network of social and cultural forms to which secular magic owes a debt - from pioneering theatrical devices, novel approaches to stagecraft, and the harnessing of scientific principles in the service of trickery to modes of discourse and performance that draw heavily upon traditional religious, folkloric or shamanic prototypes. Guest-edited by London artist and critic Jonathan Allen, Cabinet 26 features Allen on magic and warfare; Alexander Nagel on the history of images in magic; Yvonne Chireau on the legendary conjuror "Black Herman" and the connections between African-American stage magic and African religious traditions; and conversations between Simon During and scholar and author Marina Warner, and between artist Sally O'Reilly and Ian Saville, the "Socialist Magician." Also : Amelie Hastie on eating at the movies; George Prochnik on Freud's porcupine; Brian Dillon on Albert Bacon's gesture guide for orators; Tim Davis on the color Olive and; a new Implicasphere insert focused on Stripes.

Résumé:
The contemporary public domain, the "free" space where culture is produced and exchanged, is under pressure. The exchange and distribution of cultural products ("content" in the form of music, image or text) is easier in digital society, but increasingly hemmed in by corresponding moves towards greater regulation and control, new copyright laws and intellectual property policy. Instead of enjoying a "free culture," we are watching the emergence of what Lawrence Lessig calls "a permission culture." Simultaneously, as an aspect of broader privatization and regulation processes, private entities are appropriating more and more of public culture, and deciding what is made available or publicly accessible. This issue of the Dutch architectural journal, Open, investigates the root causes of these developments, how they interrelate and what the implications are for the "free" production and practice of culture, as well as for the internal dynamics and balance of power in the public domain.

Résumé:
Laptops in the park, Bluetooth alerts at the bar, microchips under the dog's skin: wireless technologies like WiFi, GPS, and RFID are changing public space. The world is increasingly traversed by an electronic infrastructure and overlaid with the invisible lines of swiftly evolving alternative cultural and social domains. The traditional physical and social public domain is being supplemented by zones, places and subcultures that transcend the local to interlink with the translocal and the global. Open 11: Hybrid Space asks, "How can individuals and groups appropriate, liberate, or sculpt this hybrid, seemingly flexible space? Where is the 'public' now, and whose spatial, cultural and political strategies will shape it?"
