Résumé:
In ''Making Dystopia,'' architectural historian James Stevens Curl tells the story of the advent of architectural Modernism in the aftermath of the First World War, its protagonists, and its astonishing, almost global acceptance after 1945. He argues forcefully that the triumph of architectural Modernism in the second half of the twentieth century led to massive destruction, the creation of alien urban landscapes, and a huge waste of resources. Moreover, the coming of Modernism was not an inevitable, seamless evolution, as many have insisted, but a massive, unparalled disruption that demanded a clean slate and the elimination of all ornament, decoration, and choice.

The selection of 24 works reflects commitments to sustainability, materialised in buildings which use resources more efficiently. This includes refurbishments like Ombú for Acciona by Foster + Partners in Madrid and Palace-House by Tuñón & Albornoz in Cáceres. Nieto Sobejano and Alcolea, Ercilla, and Tárrago promote sustainability through courtyards and building orientation in university buildings, while other projects rely on low-impact, recyclable, or locally sourced materials like wood or ceramic.

Résumé:
Rejecting outdated paradigms of endless linear growth, technocratic fixes, and the separation of humans from nature, '‘Architecture Is Climate’' argues that architecture must be fundamentally rethought – not as the design of objects, but as a practice entangled with climate, politics, history, and social justice.

Rejecting outdated paradigms of endless linear growth, technocratic fixes, and the separation of humans from nature, '‘Architecture Is Climate’' argues that architecture must be fundamentally rethought – not as the design of objects, but as a practice entangled with climate, politics, history, and social justice. Through eight key themes (knowledge, economy, land, resources, infrastructure, work, policy, and culture) it explores how climate breakdown reshapes every aspect of architectural thinking and doing. Drawing on diverse voices and grounded examples from around the world, it offers a critique but also a vision of other possible architectures already in the making.

Our housing crisis means that we need usable buildings now more than ever, but architect and critic Aaron Betsky shows that new construction—often seeking to maximize profits rather than resources, often soulless in its feel—is not the answer. Whenever possible, it is better to repair, recycle, renovate, and reuse—not only from an environmental perspective, but culturally and artistically as well.

For her new book, she traveled to Bangladesh with Iwan Baan to visit the buildings created there as well as her women's empowerment project, Dipdii Textiles. Dutch photographer Iwan Baan is best known for his images that show life and interactions in architecture. In Bangladesh, he created intense and sensual images that, between documentation and art, bear witness to what architecture can achieve when it is not about representation but about social benefit.

He illustrates his macroscopic idea to integrate the two through his architectural works. Naka’s detailed speculation includes the live/work house, places for spontaneous activity, landscapes of grouped houses, realising possibilities for fusion, and dynamic programme theory. He proposes intermediate areas as spaces for interaction with the outside, giving visibility to the social cycle, or as thermal environments, allowing the ecological cycle to become visible as well.
