Résumé:
Jorge Silvetti looks back on a long career as both a designing architect and as an architectural teacher and theoretician. Born in Argentina he was educated in music, the visual arts, and architecture amidst the vibrant culture and political turmoil of Buenos Aires in the 1950s and 60s. Silvetti continued his studies and began teaching at the University of California Berkeley after 1967, where his professional association with Rodolfo Machado began. Their work together continues until today as Machado Silvetti Associates, with offices in Boston and Buenos Aires. Silvetti’s teaching, projects, and writings have significantly shaped contemporary architectural discourse.

Résumé:
The woven/Intersected/Reciewed series, gathering preparatory material, documentation on the works, and essays by critics or the artists themselves, these volumes contribute a discussion around commissioning, the notions of public vs. private collection, and the relationship between artists and patrons. Liam Gillick’s book shows the realization of his designs in conference rooms, corridors, and offices, coinciding with his sustained interest in the negotiation of a middle ground between corporate culture and contemporary art. The volume is accompanied by an artist’s essay discussing the dissolution of the public/private dichotomy into a grey zone of semi-public/semi-private spheres.

Résumé:
Based in Luanda, Angola, the office of COSTALOPES is headed by Alexandre and António Falcão Costa Lopes. One of the most distinguished offices in Angolan architecture today, its portfolio includes numerous projects reflecting both the architects’ heritage and the strong Portuguese and Brazilian influence that marks the region. This monographic issue details works of all scales and materials, from an urban waterfront revitalisation to city centre high-rises, each realised in the dense and sprawling capital. The architects’ belief in open projects, anchored in local cultures and rooted in collective life and public space, leads to a globally connected, critical practice.

Résumé:
This edition presents two themes: wood and small-scale residential solutions. The first addresses wood as an age-old construction material, focusing on its ‘biotechnology’ aspects and intrinsic characteristics. It features eleven recent wood buildings by offices such as Ateliers Jean Nouvel, White Arkitekter, and Graham Baba Architects. The second theme looks at designs for smaller housing spaces and dwellings that are somehow related to the notion of temporary use, in answer to today’s urban lifestyle and introducing flexibility, new sharing systems, and a more communitarian way of life. It highlights projects by Pereda Pérez Arquitectos, EZZO, Arqmov Workshop, and more.

Résumé:
With increasing intensity, CAAD (Computer Aided Architectural Design) is determining the daily work of today's architectural offices. Computers allow complex designs to be visualised and altered with great speed and accuracy; three-dimensional models can be created with simulation and animation possibilities, and links to the World Wide Web provide access to a flow of information. The author develops his thesis that these aspects do not just enable the creative process to be optimised in a quantitative sense but also qualitatively. Alongside the spatial and time dimensions, the new electronic possibilities provide a fifth dimension in architecture.

Résumé:
The new generation of Mexican architecture is represented by Taller Héctor Barroso and Estudio Macías Peredo, two offices whose work emerges in harmony with the surrounding site, generating spaces with an emotional content that evoke memory and highlight the habitable quality of their architecture. Projects by the former, established by Barroso in Mexico City in 2011, often take advantage of the natural resources of each place, including local materials and construction methods. Estudio Macías Peredo was launched in 2012 in Guadalajara, with a special focus on the local context. This developing interest has become the central theme of their approach.
