Résumé:
This book is the first to focus on Ossipoff's career, presenting significant new material on the architect and situating him within the tropical modernist movement and the cultural context of the Pacific region. The authors discuss how Ossipoff synthesized Eastern and Western influences, including Japanese building techniques and modern inspiration from the interplay of indoor and outdoor space as advocated by such architect as Frank Lloyd Wright, applying these to the concerns and vernacular traditions of the tropics. The result was a vibrant and glamorous architectural style, which is captured vividly in this volume in archival images and new photography.

Résumé:
''Indigenous Currencies'' follows dynamic stories of currency as a meaning-making communication technology. Settler economies regard currency as their own invention, casting Indigenous systems of value, exchange, and data stewardship as incompatible with contemporary markets. In this book, Ashley Cordes refutes such claims and describes a long history of Indigenous innovation in currencies, including wampum, dentalium, beads, and, more recently, the cryptocurrency MazaCoin. By looking closely at how currencies developed over time through intercultural communication, Cordes argues that Indigenous currencies transcend the scope of economic value, revealing the cultural, social, and political context of what it means to exchange.

The house is a fertile ground for architectural experimentation: a space for innovation where technical solutions, aesthetic alternatives, and new ways of dwelling are tried out. AV Monographs 276 gathers sixteen projects built in diverse geographical and cultural contexts, organized around for key materials – wood, earth, concrete, and metal – which, when combined, expand the expressive and constructive possibilities of each one of them. From the vernacular to the experimental, from the Alpine cabin to the urban dwelling, these houses show how material becomes an expressive tool, capable of linking up with the context, the climate, and the landscape.
