Résumé:
In Architecture or Techno-Utopia, Felicity Scott traces an alternative genealogy of the postmodern turn in American architecture, focusing on a set of experimental practices and polemics that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Scott examines projects, conceptual work, exhibitions, publications, pedagogical initiatives, and agitprop performances that had as their premise the belief that architecture could be ethically and politically relevant. Although most of these strategies were far from the mainstream of American architectural practice, Scott suggests that their ambition-the demonstration of architecture's ongoing potential for social and political engagement-was nonetheless remarkable.

Résumé:
In her painting, American artist Amy Sillman (born 1955) expands the standards of abstraction using material and conceptual interventions in the painting process. She destabilizes purported dichotomies and hierarchizations between figuration and abstraction, intimacy and clumsiness, ability and self-negation, process and completion. Now the serial drawings and paintings are multicolored, now monochrome, now they show complex forms, now figures or body parts. And they are always filled with delight in the process. The publication "Amy Sillman: Oh, Clock!" highlights her critical exploration of the history of painting and conveys her complex and sophisticated painterly practice on canvas and beyond.

Résumé:
"Decolonising the built environment: process, product, and pedagogy" provides an important and much-needed comprehensive overview of how decolonisation is shaping the built environment in theory, in practice, and as a process/project today. The contributors provide an inclusive and trans-national conversation between a diverse set of academics, design practitioners and thinkers, and activists. This book is structured around three thematic and practical categories: Part 1 studies decolonisation conceptually; Part 2 studies decolonisation as a process; and Part 3 studies the products of decolonisation as materialised in the form of buildings, urban design, planning, policy, and social practices.

Une série d'études de maisons réalisées à l'aquarelle par l'artiste suédois, imprimées en risographie. « Over time, I have collected shapes—in this case all in the form of houses. I study their details closely: the tilt of a roof, the rhythm of windows, subtle shifts in proportion. My fascination with unique structures is endless, whether it's a simple shed or a complex architectural form I hadn't considered before. Communicating through built forms has become central to my practice. A house can carry memories, emotions, and ideas all at once—offering space for the viewer's own interpretation. » Andreas Samuelsson

Résumé:
''Ordinary Beauty'' — by combining two seemingly antithetical values—aims to foster a generation of architects who, on a daily basis, dismantle the wall separating the ordinary from beauty, construction from architecture. A generation that begins with people and life itself, reclaiming the ordinary and elevating it to a common practice of architectural quality—first imagining a new way of living, then designing the very spaces that will house that new life. A generation that recognizes the responsibility of re- storing beauty to ordinary themes, because every day architec- ture can reveal the invisible power of beauty.

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. 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.

Résumé:
"Feminism. Art. Capitalism." calls for a revolutionary rethinking of the feminist struggle and its relation to art. Championing Marxist feminism and focusing on the layers of capitalist hegemony, the book considers the exploitation of enthusiasm in art’s promise of a self-determined subject, the ideological capture of feminism, modernity’s attachment to technology (and its magic), the historical context and impact of postmodernism, and the question of class and social reproduction. Provocative and uncompromising, Feminism. Art. Capitalism. offers an indispensable guide for art history, theory, and practice – inviting readers to confront what claiming art and feminism as sites of resistance actually entails.
