Résumé:
Research in and on architecture is as complex as the discipline itself with its different specialist fields, and therefore the results often remain unconnected. This publication combines digital and analog research issues and demonstrates how important cross-disciplinary cooperation in architecture is today. The complexity and increasing specialization are elaborated on in the various chapters and then linked to the core of architecture, i.e. design. Scientists from the theoretical and practical fields present research results in the following subjects: "design methodology", "architectural space, perception, and the human body", "analog and digital timber construction", "visualization", "robotics", "architectural practice and research", and "sustainability".

Résumé:
New approaches in architecture reveal a trend towards “upcycling”. Yet the history of building has also always been a history of recycled and upcycled building materials and components, as well as of building knowledge and styles. Comprehending buildings as part of a process of social change poses a challenge to our modern concept of unambiguity, seclusion, and authorship(...)

Résumé:
New approaches in architecture reveal a trend towards “upcycling”. Yet the history of building has also always been a history of recycled and upcycled building materials and components, as well as of building knowledge and styles. Comprehending buildings as part of a process of social change poses a challenge to our modern concept of unambiguity, seclusion, and authorship in architecture. This volume explores the potential of historical concepts of upcycling, and confronts them with new developments in architectural and building practice. Rather than a matter of idealism, recycling and upcycling present an argument for economy and the quality of structure and design.

Résumé:
This is the dumbest smart book on contemporary architecture. What really is this ''technology'' that we speak of? How do we define ''intelligence''? These are just two of the questions that this book attempts to answer through the unconventional (and seemingly ironic) lens of ''dumbness.'' Historical examples in science, art, and architecture ground dumbness as a means to(...)

Résumé:
This is the dumbest smart book on contemporary architecture. What really is this ''technology'' that we speak of? How do we define ''intelligence''? These are just two of the questions that this book attempts to answer through the unconventional (and seemingly ironic) lens of ''dumbness.'' Historical examples in science, art, and architecture ground dumbness as a means to convey a trajectory to practice ''smarter.'' Instead of a singular authoritative vision, over fifty contributors answer the question, ''What is the dumbest, but smartest thing you’ve done?'' These unique responses provide a vivid lens into the culture of contemporary architecture and the rigor behind it.

Résumé:
Since the turn of the century, the brothers of Lisbon-based practice Aires Mateus have expanded their formal and material repertoire, blurring the limits of the building with the exterior, the topography, or the existing. Such an enrichment of the architectural vocabulary combines the abstraction of their beginnings with many figurative references extracted from the historic and the vernacular. This issue celebrates their innovation with 20 works completed since 2000. The selection features numerous private homes but also the School of Architecture in Tournai (Belgium), the EDP Headquarters in Lisbon, and the Furnas Monitoring and Research Centre, located in the Azores.

Résumé:
Toronto has been called the Estonian capital abroad, because it is where the largest and most active community of Estonian immigrants was located. Revolutionary in its architecture and social aims, modernism’s post-war emergence was at odds with the cautious, evolutionary nature of Canadian culture. But in the context of growing internationalism, a large number of Estonians began to find success in private practice, influencing Toronto’s cultural landscape and new ideas in architectural discourse. The largely untold story of their remarkable impact on the city and their contribution to an emerging Canadian identity has driven the research presented in this volume.

Focusing on the London-based practice founded in 2006 by Kevin Carmody and Andy Groarke, this issue features a selection of around 20 works, including projects published here for the first time. Carmody Groarke has developed an international reputation for its wide range of arts, cultural, heritage, and residential projects. The ingredients which define them are innovation, use of classical forms, and a profound coherence, all boldly manifested in the multifaceted identity of their work. This can be seen in projects such as the 7 July Memorial, Studio East Dining, Hill Box House, and Highgate House.

Résumé:
From the 1960s onward, Allan Chasanoff (1936–2020) maintained a daily photographic practice, producing tens of thousands of images that pushed the limits of the medium and questioned its reliability as a document of reality. Preferring to experiment away from the art world, Chasanoff rarely exhibited his photographs, his art remaining unknown to all but a select circle of friends and collaborators. This catalogue is the first to survey his beguiling work. Artist Mónika Sziládi, who worked as an archivist for Chasanoff, contributes an outline of Chasanoff’s life and practice, tracing the development of his art from his early experiments with light, shadow, and color in his lens-shot photographs to his late-career foray into 3D printing, which he viewed as the latest frontier of photography. Influenced by the ideas of Marshall McLuhan and Jacques Derrida, Chasanoff understood photographic images to be full of multivalent symbolism, and his art highlights the fluid nature of the medium. Using analog optical effects, such as blurring and other distortions, and on-screen tools to cut and layer digital images, Chasanoff created a wide range of pictures, some of which reference or appropriate the work of artists like Henri Matisse, Mark Rothko, or Giorgio Morandi. With nearly 200 plates organized into 7 thematic sections, ''Seeing and not believing'' brings Chasanoff’s contribution to postmodern photography to a wider audience and underlines how the artist’s work challenges our assumptions about believing what we see.
