"The labyrinth of rooms" is a story about how the shape of architecture can change the way we think, and how the shape of our thoughts can change the way we see architecture. Stated otherwise, the story conceives of the human life as a series of settings that stage the coevolution of mental space and physical space. Human, the story’s protagonist, can be any one of us, and their journey from the first room to the last room is the journey of a lifetime: it has its ups and downs, moments of clarity and moments of confusion, but overall it bends toward greater knowledge and wisdom.

Résumé:
Si notre aujourd’hui est bien un temps de ruines, ces dernières ont une saveur nouvelle. « Ce que peuvent les ruines » fait l’hypothèse d’un devenir ruine comme projet. Il ne s’agit pas d’esthétiser la destruction. Nous souhaitons dépasser la tentation romantique de la contemplation d’un monde finissant et le tragique vaniteux de la célébration des ruines comme formes. Des ruines de quoi ? Des ruines de Rien, s’étonne Bouvard face à la construction faussement détruite de Pécuchet. La ruine, pensée comme une structure qui se déforce et qui, dans un équilibre précaire, laisse advenir l’imprévu, l’indéterminé, se tourne alors vers un avenir radieux. L’architecture y est instable et de second plan. Les ruines de ce numéro, comme les ruines de nos quotidiens, sont examinées pour leur capacité d’agir, ou de laisser agir.

Résumé:
Aggressively rebounding after recessions and the pandemic, sprawling landscapes of tourism in the Mediterranean continue to build upon the iconic spatial typology of sea & sun vacationing: the beach. But behind the leisurely scattered bodies and the quiescent summer shores, beachfronts are assembled as intensely ordered infrastructures for the heavy machineries of tourism. Approaching the beach as an operational socio-technical landscape, this book unpacks stories of construction, programming, and maintenance: from traces of moving sands in Lefkada island to mirror postwar developments in Delos and Mykonos islands, and from historic and bodily excursions to workings of the Athenian riviera to rituals of eco-certification under Blue Flags. The texts frame the beach as a machine, one with protocols of function and metabolic needs, studying how it directs the capture of land and bodies, while establishing forms of environmental control.

Résumé:
In their new book, the international CARTHA network engages with the question of forming identity in society and the role that architecture plays in this process. Inspired by Jacques Lacan’s approach from psychoanalysis, CARTHA’s members break down the identity-formation process into four sub-steps, which they explore in interviews: Maarten Delbeke, professor of history and theory of architecture at ETH Zurich, talks about ''Assimilation''; Frederike Lausch, researcher at TU Darmstadt’s Department of Architecture, about ''Appropriation''; Rob Krier, Berlin and Liguria-based architect and sculptor, about ''Denial'', and Jonathan Sergison, London-based architect, about ''Reconciliation''. These conversations make up the cornerstones for a new, experimental design methodology, which has been tested in practice by architecture firms Bruther (Bordeaux), Bureau Spectacular (Los Angeles), Conen Sigl (Zurich), Made In (Geneva / Zurich), Monadnock (Rotterdam), Studio Muoto (Paris), and Sam Jacob Studio (London). ''CARTHA—Building Identity'' features a variety of buildings—houses, cottages, apartments—designed in the context of these insights.

Résumé:
"Art monster" takes readers to the margins of the professional art world, populated by unseen artists who make a living working behind the scenes in galleries and museums while making their own art to little acclaim. Writing in a style that is by turns direct and poetic, personal and lyrical, Marin Kosut reflects on the experience of dedicating your life to art and how the art world can crush you. She examines the push toward professionalization, the devaluing of artistic labor, and the devastating effects of gentrification on cultural life. Her nonlinear essays are linked by central themes—community, nostalgia, precarity, alienation, estrangement—that punctuate working artists’ lives. At once ethnography, memoir, tirade, and love letter, "Art monster" is a street-level meditation on the predicament of artists in the late capitalist metropolis.

A towering figure in the worlds of literature, cinema, and visual art, Jean Cocteau was one of the most influential creative artists of the twentieth century. In this collection of brief--often aphoristic--meditations, he reflects on the nature of beauty itself. Ranging over painters, poets, and musicians, Cocteau offers brilliant insights into the essential loneliness of the artistic vocation. As well as throwing new light on the author's own creative achievement, "Secrets of beauty" is a vital contribution to aesthetic theory.

Résumé:
À partir de sources écrites et visuelles inédites, ce livre montre comment Louis-Auguste Boileau (1812-1896), menuisier devenu architecte et promoteur de premier plan de l’utilisation du fer, conçoit l’invention. Sa trajectoire contredit les préventions qui associent les artisans à la préservation des traditions, au travail manuel ou au rejet des innovations. Elle le montre au contraire à la recherche de perfectionnements, usant de son savoir de menuisier, autant que de la culture tirée de sa fréquentation des cercles intellectuels, pour imaginer de nouvelles combinaisons architectoniques. De l’hybridité du savoir de Boileau, où s’entremêlent connaissances pratiques et théoriques, naît un rapport original et singulier à la question du progrès.
