Résumé:
The fourth edition of the Chapters series by Belgian architecture firm 51N4E proposes a fresh approach to urban design, using infrastructure as a spark for collective thinking about what we value and invest in as a society. Developed with Newrope, it blends research and practice to explore how infrastructural boundary objects – elements that both structure space and encourage new uses – can play a key role in shaping cities. Drawing on eight 51N4E projects in Central Europe and four design themes from Newrope (intimacy, pattern, performance, togetherness), the book examines how each project responds to its local context, creating spaces that are stable yet adaptable over time.

Résumé:
Le changement climatique n’est pas seulement une crise environnementale : c’est un risque existentiel pour notre planète. Canicules extrêmes, sécheresses prolongées, inondations soudaines : l’adaptation n’est plus une option, mais une condition de survie collective. Nourri d’exemples concrets venus du monde entier, cet essai propose une nouvelle grammaire de l’adaptation. Il développe quatre concepts fondateurs – One Climate One Risk, le Minimax climatique, Net Positive et l’Éthique climatique – pour transformer la sidération en action. À la croisée de la science, de la stratégie et de la philosophie politique, il trace la voie d’une Europe capable non seulement de se protéger, mais de retrouver un rôle actif dans les grands équilibres du vivant.

Résumé:
At the dawn of the era of global trade, an extraordinary range of illustrated books, prints, and maps not only afforded Europeans glimpses of imperial China's cultural and material riches but also brought Western science, religion, and art to Chinese scholars and emperors. Produced in an atmosphere of mutual curiosity and collaboration, these works proposed China and Europe as similarly distant and exotic civilizations with parallel histories and at least some values in common. China on paper opens a window on these vibrant and largely unexamined exchanges whereby the denizens of two vast regions created visions of themselves and each other in a newly expanded world.

Résumé:
Prefabricated housing has long since ceased to mean the disfigurement of the urban landscape with monotonous grey boxes. Particularly in Central Europe and Russia, modern assembly methods and 100 years of experience in planning prefabricated buildings and constructing with large panels are experiencing a renaissance. This construction manual examines the potential of prefabricated housing on structural, historical and architectural grounds. In addition to an insight into the methods of production and assembly, roughly twenty selected examples are presented in large-format photographs, detailed plans and diagrams, providing a contribution to the discussion on affordable housing. 2 volumes in slipcase: Vol. 1: Technologies and Methods, Vol. 2: Buildings and Typologies

Résumé:
What is “good” architecture? This seemingly simple question is connected to a wide range of criteria—just like the radical quest for “good” food, which has produced a wealth of insights over the past few decades. This book showcases buildings whose construction has been based on simple technology, good craftsmanship and careful choice of local and natural materials, as well as local development initiatives that demonstrate excellence in building quality, landscape restoration and community revitalization. The selection of case studies is broad and definitely unconventional: it encompasses Europe and Japan, and privileges lesser-known authors, unobtrusive works and marginal localities where radically fresh attitudes have been able to develop.

Résumé:
''De architectura'', written by Vitruvius in the first century BCE, is revered as the first treatise on architectural theory. Since its Renaissance resurrection, the enigmatic text has been adapted, refined, and redefined in subsequent iterations. ''Vitruvius without text'' bypasses critical interpretations to focus on the material history of the printed editions that appeared throughout Europe. It surveys over 100 editions from 1486 to the present, tracing the power of the printed page in establishing the Roman author as an authority. By focusing on the impact of the physical objects of the Vitruvian canon, it highlights how the history of printing and architecture intersect to form a symbiotic relationship.

Résumé:
In "The Polyhedrists", Noam Andrews unfolds a history of the relationship between art and geometry in early modern Europe, told largely through a collective of ground-breaking artisan-artists (among them, Luca Pacioli, Albrecht Dürer, Wenzel Jamnitzer, and Lorentz Stöer) and by detailed analysis of a rich visual panoply of their work, featuring paintings, prints, decorative arts, cabinetry, and lavishly illustrated treatises. But this is also an art history of the polyhedra themselves, emblems of an evolving artistic intelligence, which include a varied set of geometrical figures—both Platonic, or regular, like the simple tetrahedron, and Archimedean, or irregular, like the complex yet beguiling rhombicosidodecahedron.
