Résumé:
Today, tourism is rooted in a model of environmental and cultural degradation. 'AV Proyectos' presents seven alternatives that anticipate a hopeful shift towards community-based rural life, from C733's Jaguar Park in Mexico to Ryue Nishizawa's Shishi-Iwa House in Japan. As Gonzalo Pardo and Andrés Rubio point out in the article accompanying this section, its harmful impact must be confronted by defending local tradition and identity. David Chipperfield has shared his experience and also highlighted the growing difficulty of accessing housing, which has created a social crisis in London and is now surfacing in Galicia. The issue continues with the construction of the French Lycée Library in Madrid by Alberto Campo Baeza, and an introduction to the creative process of designers Muller Van Severen.

Résumé:
Tout à la fois récit, essai, mais aussi témoignage d’une époque et d’un engagement, Des paillettes sur le compost est une exploration sensible et politique du quotidien. Dans un style enlevé – parfois cru, souvent cri –, Myriam Bahaffou montre que c’est dans les replis de situations ordinaires (un rendez-vous chez l’esthéticienne, un déjeuner en terrasse) que se déploie la puissance des écoféminismes. Loin d’être une philosophie désincarnée, l’écoféminisme se révèle en prise directe avec la réalité et la chair. Les mots de Donna Haraway, Audre Lorde et bell hooks se mêlent aux cris des combattantes du Rojava et aux incantations des fées et sorcières… dans ce livre qui, dans la pure tradition écoféministe, laisse joyeusement s’entrelacer les voix et les formes narratives.

Résumé:
Saudi Arabia had been inaccessible to ordinary visitors for about ten years, until fall 2019, thereinafter it has been possible to enter the country with an electronic tourist visa. In the suspended time that preceded this event, the architecture firm Schiattarella Associati invited photographer Giovanna Silva and curator Emilia Giorgi to set off on a journey—both physical and mental—in the country, trying to unearth the often minute and hidden traces of past buildings and historical tradition in the cities of Riyadh and Jeddah, now at the center of vast operations of redefinition, from an architectural, urban and social point of view. "Saudiscapes" is a project initiated by Schiattarella Associati, curated by Emilia Giorgi, and with the photographic contribution by Giovanna Silva.

Résumé:
In 2023, the new Maison de la Chine was opened as part of the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris (CIUP), the French capital’s famous campus of student residencies founded in 1925. Designed by Beijing-based Atelier Feichang Jianzhu (Atelier FCJZ) and realized in collaboration with the French architecture firm Coldefy, the building continues the tradition of national pavilions within the CIUP. The Maison de la Chine’s design bears the DNA of traditional Chinese architecture, yet Atelier FCJZ also clearly acknowledges its inspiration from Le Corbusier. "Maison de la Chine" documents the building and its design process in rich detail through sketches, drawings, plans, and photographs. Architectural historian and curator Martino Stierli places the Maison de la Chine in the context of the evolution of contemporary Chinese architecture.

Résumé:
Légèreté ne signifie plus simplicité : elle exige désormais un équilibre subtil entre innovation et impact, où chaque décision architecturale engage un avenir partagé. Les numéros 83 et 84 de Faces sont consacrés aux thèmes du léger et du lourd. Ces deux notions entretiennent souvent un rapport d'antonymie et d'antinomie ; elles signalent une opposition de deux propositions conceptuelles et pratiques entre lesquelles l'architecte doit en principe opter, en fonction du lieu, de la culture et de la tradition constructive dans lesquels il s'inscrit et en vertu de ses convictions esthétiques, techniques, économiques, politiques ou éthiques. Cette opposition en apporte quantité d'autres à sa suite, parmi lesquelles l'éphémère et le durable, le mobile et l'immobile, la liberté et la contrainte, le fragile et le solide.

Résumé:
Museums are architectural trend-setters. Culture sponsoring and their increasing role as tourist attractions are guarantees for an ongoing boom in museum construction. A tradition and typology developed over the centuries, the planning and practical experience gained in recent decades and cutting-edge technology all contribute to the practice of modern day museum building. History and form, site development, floor plan, air-conditioning and climate technology are just some examples of the subjects treated systematically and contextually in the first section of this design manual. Some 70 international museum case-studies by renowned architects such as Tadao Ando, Stephen Holl, Renzo Piano and Herzog & de Meuron exemplify solutions and emphasize specific museum design issues such as spatial organisation and lighting.

Résumé:
The Portuguese architect Eduardo Souto de Moura was born in 1952. During his architectural studies he worked for Alvaro Siza, and in 1980 he opened his own office in Porto. Today Souto de Moura, with his purist yet atmospheric structures is one of the most well-known architects on the Iberian peninsula. “I began practically at the very beginning and concentrated on the essence of architecture. The most fundamental element is naturally the wall.” Souto de Moura succeeded in combining Portugal´s strong tradition of stone masonry with abstract modern forms, creating an architecture of compelling beauty. Werner Blaser conveys through expressive photography the elemental and timeless nature of Souto de Moura´s buildings focussing in particular on his use of stone as a building material.

Résumé:
The British artist Spartacus Chetwynd (*1973, lives and works in London) is known for her baroque and surreal performances which, with great humor, bring together multiple image quotations from art history and pop culture. In the tradition of the grotesque she draws on elements from Giotto frescoes, characters from works by Hieronymus Bosch, or Yves Kleins "Anthropometries" (1960) together with heavy metal musicians, Michael Jacksons music video "Thriller," or the 1980s television series "The Hulk," and creates a unified whole. As well as performances, Chetwynd, who graduated from the Royal College of Art with an MA in painting, produced a series small canvases under the title "Bat Opera" (2004/2005), which also present quotations from pop culture, but in addition feature more romantic borrowings.

Résumé:
Après avoir été comparé par Adolf Loos à un «crime» et quasi abandonné par l’architecture moderne, l’ornement architectural a fait un retour spectaculaire ces dernières années, souvent en relation avec la montée en puissance des outils numériques. Quel sens donner à ce phénomène? En même temps qu’il semble renouer avec une tradition pluriséculaire, l’ornement architectural contemporain diffère de ses prédécesseurs sur un certain nombre de points clefs. Ce livre commence par explorer ces différences avant de proposer deux fils conducteurs permettant de relier passé et présent, ornement traditionnel et ornement contemporain. L’ornement présente tout d’abord des liens étroits avec la question du ou plutôt des sujets de l’architecture: concepteurs, artisans, clients, spectateurs qui tous contribuent à la production et à la réception de l’architecture.

Résumé:
Dafi Ku¨hne is a Swiss designer who works with analogue and digital techniques to produce fresh and unique letterpress-printed posters. Using very different kinds of tools — from a computer to a pantograph — for his compositions, he pushes the boundaries of design. Never afraid of getting his hands dirty in his creative workshop, Dafi Kühne embraces the labor involved in the entire process of creating a poster, from initial idea to finished product. Fusing modern means with the century-old tradition of letterpress, he forms a new vocabulary for how to communicate through type and form in a truly contemporary way. Never retro, his work is a clever response to the search for new possibilities of graphic expression: true print.
