Résumé:
Exponential population ageing is changing how we coexist in urban spaces. Improving discourse on “care” is high on the agenda in our globally ageing world. The task of densifying cities with hundreds of apartments in single buildings reminds us that we are responsible for incredibly sophisticated social structures. In designing these projects, de Architekten Cie. has accumulated significant experience, understanding the challenges on both architectural and urban scales, as well as their societal and emotional dimensions. ‘The Architecture of Ageing’ shares the experiences of their long-term collaborative project on housing, ageing, and care in the city.

Résumé:
"Ground rules" is the first comprehensive, fully bilingual survey charting the career of the prolific photographer Alejandro Cartagena. Celebrated for his photobooks Carpoolers (2014) and "A small guide to homeownership" (2020), Cartagena is known for his formally engaging and socially incisive images that span the politics of the US-Mexico border, suburban sprawl, and the increasing wealth disparities in North America. "Ground rules" deploys a diverse array of photographic formats, from documentary and collage to the appropriation of vernacular photographs and AI-generated imagery, all unified by Cartagena’s commitment to addressing Mexico’s most pressing social and environmental issues with humor and pathos.

Résumé:
Since 2008, there has been a renewed search for alternative forms of housing production that can move beyond speculative interests and are based instead on models of co-ownership, co-production, and co-management. Hence the concept of the cooperative has experienced a true renaissance in recent years. This book explores how cooperative housing construction and forms of self-determined building production might offer effective solutions to the global housing crisis, moving us closer to a more equitable and sustainable future through systematic change. With case studies from Germany, Switzerland, Brazil, Uruguay, Ethiopia, and China, as well as a glossary of important terms.

Résumé:
Somewhere in the borderlands between academia and journalism, Robin Kinross has made a case for typography as a matter of fine detail and subtle judgement, whose products concern all of us, every day. This selection of his shorter writings from the past 25 years, including a number of previously unpublished essays, brings his major themes into focus: the unsung virtues of editorial and information design, the fate of modernism in the 20th century, the work of dissident and critical modernist designers, the contributions of émigré designers from Europe, and the virtues of a socially oriented design approach.

Résumé:
Donald Judd was one of the most important exponents of American Minimal Art. Among the lesser-known aspects of his work are the numerous built architectural projects in which he explores the relationship between architecture art, furniture, and landscape. One particular location was of great significance to Judd’s architectural work: Fort D.R. Russell, a former US military base in the Chihuahuan desert on the southern edge of the pioneer town of Marfa, Texas. Judd acquired the fort and other structures in Marfa which he systematically converted into one of the largest ensemble collections of contemporary art in the world.

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(...)

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 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:
The people and things we want feel very far away. Everything else feels far too near. Daily life is incorrectly calibrated. This is causing many of us to simply withdraw from the public sphere, wandering off into our own private worlds. Those who remain are struggling to maintain the illusion of critical mass. In reality, politics, culture, commerce and social media have all lost heir drive, falling forward on inertia alone. Everyone wants the same thing. We all crave spaciousness. We all feel too close, without any closeness. This issue of “Real Review” is dedicated to the paradoxical sensation of “absolute proximity”.

Résumé:
This is the first introduction to the key concepts and ideas of Bruno Latour that are relevant to architects. Drawing on many lively examples from the world of architectural practice, the book makes a compelling argument about the agency of architectural design and the role architects can play in re-ordering the world we live in. Following Latour’s philosophy offers a new way to handle all the objects of human and nonhuman collective life, to re-examine the role of matter in design practice, and to redefine the forms of social, political and ethical associations that bind us together in cities.
