Résumé:
For the past three centuries, urban dwellers and planners have imagined future cities that would be radically different from those of the past. Planners pursued progress, whether focused on flying vehicles above, sewage systems below, or daily life in between. Yet, as Bruno Carvalho shows in this original and wide-ranging history, which features some sixty illustrations, modern cities continuously defied predictions. Visionary designs and technological innovations created dramatic, unforeseen outcomes, and the ongoing urban boom is a story of continuity as well as rupture. A compelling history of imagined futures and the transformation of urban life, The Invention of the Future also suggests what we might learn from the stories of our cities as we shape them for the twenty-first century.

Résumé:
The ''Subjective Atlas of Groningen'' brings together a diverse group of Groningers mapping the province and what it means to be “at home,” in order to share and make visible the personal, but often invisible, experiences of various resident groups in Groningen. Created through participatory workshops and public activities – including exhibitions, events, and participatory sessions across the province – the project invites local communities to share their stories, becoming visible both physically and online. In seven workshops organized by the partner organizations, approximately 80 participants explored their vision of “being at home” in Groningen. Through creative sessions, they reflected on personal themes and developed visual contributions, fostering interaction and providing space for diverse perspectives and stories.

Résumé:
Where are the Arctic cities, who inhabits them, who shaped their development, and how might they evolve in the future? This book explores the history, planning, and design of urban settlements across the Arctic, tracing how they have been formed by colonial expansion, Indigenous cultures, resource extraction, and welfare-state ambitions. It examines the complex relationships between landscape, infrastructure, and community, while considering the challenges and opportunities facing northern cities today. Against a backdrop of climate change, globalisation, and shifting geopolitical interests, the book reflects on how Arctic urban communities can navigate an uncertain future and reimagine their role in a rapidly changing world.

Résumé:
"Architecture of invention" explores the experimental side of architecture through an architecture of books. It brings together ten experimental bibliographies conceived as a dialogue between expanded, spatial art and a critical, relational architecture that reflects on its own status. An intertextual and generative framework structures the project, producing narratives and cross-references among books and publications that are not necessarily contemporaneous or disciplinary. The ordering maps multiple cultural trajectories along a non-linear timeline marked by epochal leaps, ranging from avant-garde architecture to conceptual, radical, experimental and hardcore architecture. These constellations address themes such as construction and deconstruction, image and media, the body, the city, crisis, and critical practice.

A persistent narrative portrays the ocean as an uninhabited space.

Résumé:
A persistent narrative portrays the ocean as an uninhabited space. However, centuries of commercial trade and an expanding network of infrastructures above and below the water’s surface have long challenged this view, prompting researchers to conceptualise the sea as an urbanised environment. While the sea is a global arena where architecture, ecology, infrastructure, and politics intersect, its spatial dynamics remain largely uncharted. In a time of planetary urbanisation, ''The Ocean as Ground: An Offshore Theory on Urbanisation'' explores oceans as urban spaces by unveiling forgotten histories, projects, and narratives. How might we understand land urbanisation starting from the oceans? Through the conceptual lens of “ground”, the book invites readers to rethink how we perceive, design, and inhabit the spaces of both land and sea.

Résumé:
What aesthetic practices have Palestinians been employing throughout their revolutionary anti-colonial tradition, both historically and in contemporary times? How can we read the performative gestures, image-making techniques, and singing replete inPalestine’s streets as ones embedded within a collective psychosocial and material experience and not as arbitrary isolated events? In An Echo in Search of its Shadow, Aesthetics of the Repressed Adam HajYahia and Haitham Haddad formulate an aesthetic theory of revolt by examining anti-colonial praxis. Unfolding through analysis, image-making, and poetics, HajYahia and Haddad assemble a new framework from which to understand dialectics between the visual and the audial, body and soul, form and content.

Résumé:
Over the past thirty years, the number of architectural laboratories has surged from a handful to hundreds across the globe. Yet the term remains elusive: What defines an architectural lab? And why has it become so compelling to architects today? "The Architectural Laboratory" is the first volume to critically address these questions, assembling a series of essays that examine some of the most remarkable architectural labs of the twentieth century. While scientific laboratories have long been the subject of scholarly inquiry, architecture labs remain underexplored. This book situates them within their specific architectural-historical contexts, revealing how they have operated both metaphorically and materially.

L’exposition « Un monde en commun » sous le commissariat Julie Belisle et Josianne, aura lieu du 2 mai au 26 juillet 2026 à la Fondation Grantham du 5 septembre 2026 au 2 mai 2027 à la Biosphère |'Espace pour la vie. L’exposition rassemble les œuvres des artistes Maude Arès, Geneviève Chevalier, Hannah Claus, Jim Holyoak, Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens, Fre´de´ric Lavoie, Angela Marsh, Kimberly Orjuela, Taqralik Partridge & Miranda Smitheram. En tentant d’adopter la perspective de l’hirondelle, du mulot ou encore du pissenlit, les œuvres réunies dans cette exposition décentrent notre regard. Elles nous enjoignent à considérer comment le territoire nous accueille et comment nous le partageons avec d’autres espèces, nous invitant à nous engager envers un monde pluriel, solidaire et profondément relationnel. Par des gestes de soin, des approches collaboratives de la création et une attention à l’éthique interspécifique, elles offrent une compréhension étendue de la notion d’hospitalité et nous encouragent à repenser nos manières « d’habiter ». Ensemble, elles explorent la possibilité d’« un monde en commun » où tous les vivants pourraient s’épanouir.
