This fact drew his attention to the endless variety of doors that seemed to act as a boundary between the familiar and unfamiliar. The fruits of his investigation are(...)

Résumé:
Haraji's travels as a professional photographer across Iran meant that he invariably had to ring a doorbell, sound a knocker, or pass through a hotel entrance to take up his accommodation for an evening. This fact drew his attention to the endless variety of doors that seemed to act as a boundary between the familiar and unfamiliar. The fruits of his investigation are presented in this photographic essay which depicts approximately 100 doors, or elements thereof – each characteristic of the proprietor's poverty or opulence, some plain and simple, others decorated with exquisite motifs and designs.

Résumé:
After decades spent sensitizing his own field of work to themes concerning people’s respect for nature, Mario Cucinella has collected his memories of ten journeys to cities and other places. Each one of them provided him with food for thought that was neither exotic nor ''stylistic,'' but rather pragmatically environmental, and helped him to reflect on the rational exploitation of available energy resources – a common practice in the vernacular traditions of every culture, from Iran to China, and from Maghreb to Ireland. These ten stories about architecture project us forward.

Résumé:
At a time marked by the climate crisis and violent conflicts, an increasing number of architects are turning to impermanence and adaptability to show an alternate path to tackle the fragility and scarcity affecting our planet. Counter to the neoliberal appetite for abundance and the delirium of indefinite growth, this issue explores the relationship between nature and economy. It examines the social construction of scarcity, finding in certain communities signs of resilience and adaptative intelligence. Case studies in Thailand, India, Iran, Rwanda, Niger, Colombia, and Ecuador serve to illuminate this new path. Also in this issue, an interview with Mexican architect Fernanda Canales.

Résumé:
An ancient Persian proverb says, ''Isfahan is half the world,'' referring to the city's influence at the crossroads of 16th century trade routes. This city in present-day Iran is still known for its paradisiacal garden landscapes and fascinating buildings, including Naghsh-e Jahan Square, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Eminent Swiss architectural photographer Werner Blaser has captured the beauty of Isfahan in photos that present the masterworks of Persian architecture and horticulture from the 16th to 18th centuries, Isfahan's heyday under the Persian Safavid dynasty. He paints a picture of boulevards, covered bridges, palaces, mosques and minarets.

Résumé:
After an issue dedicated to the persistent structures of colonial domination and racialization in western and northern European societies, The Funambulist 55 (Sep-Oct 2024) Asian Imperialisms intends to decenter Europe, and examine historical and present processes of imperial and/or colonial domination by seven arguably ethnocratic Asian states, namely, Japan, the People’s Republic of China, the Russian Federation (and the Soviet Union), India, Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey (alongside Azerbaijan). This “Asian” denomination chosen for this issue’s title follows historic examples of solidarity at this massive continental scale, the most famous one being the 1955 Afro–Asian Conference in Bandung. The cover is an artwork by Korean artist Kyungmi Shin

Résumé:
Many bulbous plants have been dubbed "heralds of spring", but none is more recognisable than those carrying actual megaphones to spread the word: daffodils. Throughout history, painters, poets, and writers all over the world have been inspired by the flower’s various symbolisms. An introduction to the genus ‘Narcissus’ by Lou-Lou van Staaveren, with photographs by Elspeth Diederix, sets the tone for this issue. Other contributors include philosopher Christopher F. Julien, who reflects on how scent mixes with memories, and artist Tina Farifteh, who digs into her personal archive and writes about her memories of growing up in Iran, where daffodils are a symbol of hope.
