Résumé:
This volume presents the projects of Rural Urban Framework, the non-profit collective of architects based at the University of Hong Kong and led by Joshua Bolchover and John Lin, whose work starts from a careful analysis of the recent urbanization triggered by villages and rural collectives in China to found a procedural and participatory work where architecture can never be considered a finished product (as we are often used to in the West) but a relational element open to the context in which it operates.

Résumé:
A pioneer of "Water Urbanism" and the "Sponge City" model, Kongjian Yu is not only one of the most important living landscape architects, but also a keen observer of the present. His project proposals and his reflections on urban planning in China are a practical-conceptual reference with which to attempt to unravel the emerging questions of a planet threatened by environmental catastrophes, hydrogeological risks and a water crisis. Taking the foundational geometries of rural landscapes as a model, Kongjian Yu proposes very low technology water infrastructure works which, by activating an adaptive behavior, recompose intermediate landscapes between city and nature, concrete representations of the partnership between man and the element that, more than any other, generates and protects life and water.

Résumé:
Moore, Lyndon, Turnbull & Whitaker was established in Berkeley, California, in 1962. Soon after, the architects began working on The Sea Ranch, a large development on the northern California coast that runs from the ocean’s edge, with its protected beaches and cliffs, to a coastal meadow stretching the entire length of the acreage. The firm was charged with developing a master plan for The Sea Ranch that would be aesthetically refined and have minimal impact on the surrounding natural landscape. Local materials such as redwood timber were used in the construction of the residential units and recreational buildings, which together express the era’s particularly Californian modernism.

Résumé:
Comment concevoir un musée et son contenu ? Comment façonner cet outil de médiation de l’art et des savoirs ? Des années 1920 aux années 1960, Le Corbusier s’interroge, échangeant avec des conservateurs, des responsables politiques et des artistes. Outre la création d’une forme à « croissance illimitée », il défend un « musée de la connaissance » et l’utopie d’une version « électronique » pour l’Inde, inspirée par la cybernétique. En s’appuyant sur ses écrits et ses archives, ce livre examine les positions de Le Corbusier et en analyse les ressorts, entre pragmatisme et opportunisme, fascination technologique, paternalisme néocolonial et convictions humanistes. Hybride, mobile et démultipliable, son modèle idéal tient à la fois du livre et du spectacle, et ses intuitions visionnaires entrent étonnamment en résonance avec les réflexions d’aujourd’hui sur le musée.

Résumé:
They come in all shapes and sizes, and somehow the phenomenon is especially prevalent in Switzerland: homemade cat ladders. Taking the city of Berne as an example, photographer Brigitte Schuster shows the variety of ways humans facilitate the comings and goings of their feline friends in the context of the surrounding architecture. From a simple wooden plank to complex, scaffold-like constructions rising up to four storeys in a zigzag fashion, they express sociological, architectural, and aesthetic peculiarities, which are further developed in accompanying texts. As such, the book serves as both a guideline and source of inspiration in creating your own cat ladders.

Résumé:
"Archives" is a magazine developed for a paper format; it seeks to fill a gap in the sphere of architecture and other areas to which our particular view of the world relates. It was conceived as an abject that one would want to read employing both eyes and hands, and with the idea of becoming an archive that orders and clarifies the diverse ways of working and the projects of a series of architects. "Archives" presents monographic issues dedicated to architects with built work that can be visited and photographed, so as to offer a real look at their architecture. A continuous look through the eyes of the same photographer, Juan Rodriguez, with the idea of establishing a relationship between all that may be shown in the different issues of the magazine. This second issue shows the work of Bearth & Deplazes.

Résumé:
We live in challenging times. There is overwhelming evidence that massive change is required in order to survive impending environmental collapse. Yet this fifth volume in the Archifutures series takes the position that the "apocalypse" is not an imminent event, but an insidious process that is already happening. Communities everywhere are facing it on a day-to-day basis. Many are already resisting and adapting. Despite the implied drama of the word "apocalypse", the reality is actually far more mundane: surviving it is not about building bunkers, it is about building resilience - everywhere and in all kinds of ways.

Résumé:
La question du logement se pose aujourd’hui avec une acuité nouvelle dans de nombreux pays. Cet ouvrage aborde les difficultés relatives à l’accès et au maintien dans l’habitat en croisant des enquêtes conduites dans des villes des hémisphères Nord et Sud. Interrogeant la notion de « vulnérabilité résidentielle », les auteurs identifient les risques associés au mal-logement, au non logement et à l’expulsion, ainsi qu’aux déplacements contraints ou forcés. Ils décrivent les inégalités structurant les rapports sociaux résidentiels, mais aussi les ressources individuelles ou collectives permettant aux habitants de « rebondir ». Il s'agit ainsi d’objectiver la complexité des vulnérabilités résidentielles contemporaines, marquées par un regain de ségrégations et de mécanismes spéculatifs.
