Résumé:
A radical pioneer of Bauhaus textile design, Otti Berger created fabrics that fundamentally changed the understanding of what textiles could be and do. A core member of the textile faculty at the Bauhaus alongside Anni Albers and Gunta Stölzl, Berger also was an entrepreneur in the frenzied culture of early 1930s Berlin. Working closely with architects of the New Objectivity movement such as Lilly Reich, Ludwig Hilberseimer and Hans Scharoun, she designed upholstery, wall fabrics, curtains and floor coverings that explored novel production methods, and thereby redefined the relationship between aesthetics and function.

Résumé:
a+u’s April issue, guided by guest editors Ko Nakamura, Keigo Kobayashi, and Mamiko Miyahara, investigates the interconnection of architecture and food. Food insecurity is a major challenge that cities face in the Anthropocene that architects and urbanists must rise to meet. Presenting more than 20 projects of varying scales, this issue highlights alternative strategies that architecture and urban design may adopt in the urgent effort to address this shared global burden. Five key themes – New Ways of Production, Globalism and National Strategies, In Community, Meeting the City, and Exploring Food Space – organize the projects.

How does Israel extend its control over Palestinian lands? From the tunnels of Gaza to the militarized airspace of the Occupied Territories, Eyal Weizman unravels the mechanisms of control and how they have transformed Gaza and the West Bank into a war zone. This is essential reading for understanding how architecture and infrastructure are used as lethal weapons in the formation of Israel. In this new edition, Weizman explains how the events following the invasion of Gaza in October 2023 bear witness to the continuing policies of oppression. He details how this book became a foundational text for Forensic Architecture.

Résumé:
Room 4.1.3, an Australian landscape architecture firm, is renowned for producing some of the world's most finely tuned design work, striking a balance between theory and praxis, design and planning. The firm's projects engage visitors in a way that few public spaces have before. Founded in the 1990s by Richard Weller and Vladimir Sitta, Room 4.1.3 has received awards in more than forty open design competitions and is currently at work on a new city in Singapore, "fusion-polis." Adopting a new proscriptive approach, the designs exhibit a strong theoretical base that extends into cultural studies, art, geography, anthropology, and psychology. For example, the controversial Garden of Australian Dreams at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra is a veritable playground of meanings, invoking events of such varying cultural significance as the birth of Australia as a nation and the work of Jackson Pollock. This lavishly illustrated volume features many other award-winning Room 4.1.3 designs, including Namesti Miru in Prague, Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, and Gallipoli Peace Park in Turkey. Internationally renowned scholars and critics provide essays that contextualize each project and ultimately argue for the primacy and efficacy of poetic and subversive imagination in the formation of our environment. The works collected here, both built and unbuilt, will introduce Room 4.1.3's iconic style to an ever-widening audience in North America and open up an international discourse on new meanings of landscape architecture.

Résumé:
Today, landscape architecture often stands at the centre of attention – perhaps more frequently than is desirable for its own sake? Designing with “nature”, whether in urban spaces or in company grounds, at horticultural shows or in “temporary gardens” generates an attractive and immediate emotional impact. It is not just architects and artists who incorporate landscape features in their designs today, but also local authorities and well-known companies wishing to promote an image of ecological responsibility combined with innovative design. The result is a kind of landscape-based event culture with popular appeal. “Event Landscape?” describes the current state of this wide-sweeping development. A wide array of recent landscape designs with detailed information are presented, revealing how landscape architecture can play a part in solving major issues of public space: the sustainable renewal of towns, the transformation of farmland into new cultural landscapes, the role of historic gardens and parks.

Résumé:
Le style moghol est la création délibérée d'une lignée de souverains qui, dans l'Inde du XVIe au XIXe siècle, encouragèrent, employèrent et financèrent des générations d'architectes, de calligraphes, de peintres, de tisserands et d'artisans du métal. Puisant au cœur des arts du monde islamique plus vaste, notamment la Perse et l'Asie Centrale, mais solidement enraciné dans les traditions indiennes, ce style imprégna le moindre aspect de la vie des empereurs moghols, de Babur à Aurangzeb, de leur aristocratie et des membres de leur famille. Il influença leurs manières et l'étiquette de la cour, les plats et les coupes à vin qu'ils utilisaient, leurs riches vêtements et leurs somptueux bijoux, les opulents intérieurs de leurs palais ornées de magnifiques tapis et de brocarts, et les majestueux monuments - tel le Taj Mahal ou les Forts rouges d'Agra et de Delhi - qui proclamaient leur richesse et leur puissance.

Résumé:
A protocol drawn up long ago in 1945 by Otto Koenigsberger, adopted in nearly one hundred instances in India and in more than half the world, provides the framework and rules for the planning of the prototypes of planned cities, and tells us that the so-called "participative architecture" aimed at intercultural inclusion, originated in the post-colonial territories between India and Africa. The catalogue, the fruition of a 5-year long Italian-Indian research, illustrates the consequences of democratic choice in independent India, its factual existence and its globalized outcomes, present even today. Presented in the installation, are four examples of Democratic New Towns – Jamshedpur, Bhubaneswar, Faridabad and Chandigarh- outcomes of the interface between the experiences of Frey, Drew and Le Corbusier and the ideas of their Indian counterparts, Varma, Doshi, Correa, Rewal. The cities are analytically described and documented through photographs of their present condition, preserved as the modern protected areas in Europe.
