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.
