Résumé:
This book presents the work of artists, curators, collectives and scholars who address contemporary art as a site of learning in the 21st century. Building on earlier histories of education as civic service for the common good, it focuses on the last 25 years, as well as the question of the future of art education—as a practice that unfolds both in and beyond school. The book constructs an impressionistic constellation of case studies to see how innovations in education have had a dynamic relationship with artistic practice, alternative arts organizations, universities and museums.

Résumé:
For the fourth issue, SUKO focuses on the theme Deferred Dream, a term coined by Langston Hughes’ poem of the same name. The idea came from the shared feeling of working toward a future that will not necessarily be realized in our lifetime, and the resolution to work towards it anyway. Through interviews, biographies, and features, artists share how they connect to their own dreamworlds and in-between places. Artists in this issue confront and challenge their uncertainties, while others draw from sources of hope and protest inspired by past generations.

Résumé:
In "Tower and office", Spanish architects Inaki Abalos and Juan Herreros look at the role and impact of advanced building technologies in American architecture since World War II. The war, they claim, marked the end of the first cycle of modernism, challenging the belief that technological progress alone could produce a perpetually better future. At the same time, the war was the source of powerful new structural models and construction methods. The authors examine the ways these technologies have been inflected over the last half century by more subjective and integrated processes of spatial organization.

Résumé:
Developed in 1989, the software Form*Z has become an important digital tool for architects when exploring three dimensional objects, in particular when designing spaces which have complex shapes and multiple curved surfaces, which do not adher to Cartesian geometry and cannot be depicted by traditional CAD programs. This book outlines the development, qualities and the future potential of this ingenious program, and the genuine contribution it has made to architectural design is illustrated by projects from Roto Architects, Skidmore Owings & Merrill, Siegel Diamond Architecture, Stanley Saitowitz Office, Form 4 amongst others.

The deceptively simple supermarket choice echoed in the title symbolizes the dilemma of a society on a collision course with the planet's life-support systems. About one-third of America's municipal solid waste is packaging - at least 300 pounds per person each year - and the "upstream" costs in energy and ressources used to make packaging are even more alarming.

Résumé:
The deceptively simple supermarket choice echoed in the title symbolizes the dilemma of a society on a collision course with the planet's life-support systems. About one-third of America's municipal solid waste is packaging - at least 300 pounds per person each year - and the "upstream" costs in energy and ressources used to make packaging are even more alarming. In this book, author Daniel Imhoff unwraps the packaging problem and gives consummers, product designers, and policymakers the information they need to take steps toward a more sustainable future.

Résumé:
In the form of a dystopian fable describing the world after the advent of AI, "The third atlas" goes beyond the astonishment or rejection aroused by these images of a new kind. It is a reflection on the way in which artificial intelligence calls into question our way of seeing and, beyond that, our perception of the real, leading us to formulate the hypothesis that this modified vision will shape the future forms of architecture, but also of design, sculpture and painting, perhaps even more than those of photography.

Résumé:
The expression “low-rise high-density” refers to the ensembles of grouped housing units that maintain characteristics of the individual home, but whose compactness facilitates collective services and amenities, thereby reducing land consumption. These hybrid projects also generate a variety of housing typologies and forms of agglomeration, opening up more sustainable and ecological alternatives. In this atlas of 50 projects from across the United States, Florian Camai and Mathilde Luguet present their observations alongside essays by French and American researchers specialised in suburban areas – an open reflection on the future of suburban living.

Résumé:
Mass housing and prefabrication shaped global modernist architecture like no other aspect of industrialised construction. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of how both conventional and experimental prototypes and series gave rise to an architecture for all, often responding to crises, the imperatives of nation-building, and housing shortages by rapidly developing, distributing, and assembling structures. The authors scrutinise the cultural impact of mass housing and prefabrication, tracing this influence through exhibitions, memory culture, and typologies, ultimately concluding with an outlook on the preservation and repair of structures and their adaptation for the future.

Logotopia: from the Ancient Greek logos, meaning 'word' and topos, meaning 'place' is a multi-disciplinary exhibition and publications comprised of architecture, art and the written word in almost equal proportions. Logotopia explores the library, or 'word place,' as both a concept and a built form through four distinct categories- the Universal Library, the National Library, the Public Library and the Private Library. Logotopia also provides a glimpse into the future of the library in the information age, as well as the changing image of the libarian in pop culture and as cyber avatar.
