Résumé:
Made up of eight different muscles, Tongues are the focus of Safar’s forthcoming eighth issue. From speaking in tongues to translating them to tasting with them, the tongue is central to human connection, be it through language and communication, food and sustenance, or sex and intimacy. This eighth issue of Safar seeks to explore the tongue-in-cheek moments that get lost (and sometimes found) through translation; to map tastes and taste buds on the tip of the tongue; to chew over when and where to hold one’s tongue, and when not to; to consider slips of the tongue and tongue twisters; to visualize and engage with a lost mother tongue; and more.

Résumé:
The great Russian modernist painter and theorist Wassily Kandinsky was one of the pioneers of abstraction in Western art. Few documents provide more insight into his evolution from figural to abstract art—or into the development of abstraction in the early twentieth century—than the pages of his sketchbooks. Featuring previously unpublished drawings, "Wassily Kandinsky: The sketchbooks" is a comprehensive selection of hundreds of sketches from twelve notebooks Kandinsky kept between 1889 and 1935. Beginning with early figure studies, architectural sketches, and landscapes, the notebooks reveal a process of exploration that would lead Kandinsky from his first experiments in geometric abstraction to paintings that reshaped modernism.

Résumé:
In the decades preceding World War II, professional architecture schools enrolled increasing numbers of women, but career success did not come easily. "Women architects at work" tells the stories of the resilient and resourceful women who surmounted barriers of sexism, racism, and classism to take on crucial roles in the establishment and growth of Modernism across the United States. Mary Anne Hunting and Kevin D. Murphy describe how the Cambridge School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture in Massachusetts evolved for the professional education of women between 1916 and 1942. While alumnae such as Eleanor Agnes Raymond, Victorine du Pont Homsey, and Sarah Pillsbury Harkness achieved some notoriety, others like Elizabeth-Ann Campbell Knapp and Louisa Vaughan Conrad have been largely absent from histories of Modernism. Hunting and Murphy describe how these innovative practitioners capitalized on social, educational, and professional ties to achieve success and used architecture to address social concerns, including how modernist ideas could engage with community and the environment.

Dans le cadre du programme Mondes nouveaux du Ministère de la Culture, la romancière Colombe Boncenne en association avec l’artiste/designer David Enon, et cinq autres artistes-auteurs, le sculpteur Julien Berthier, la chorégraphe Julie Desprairies, le musicien Charles Dubois, l’architecte Laure Dezeuze et la sociologue Livia Velpry, ont été invités à venir poser et croiser leurs regards sur cet événement et ses stigmates. Après deux temps de résidence à Saint-Martin Vésubie, ils y ont créé et produit ensemble un événement de trois jours en s’inspirant du conte populaire traditionnel « La soupe aux cailloux » qui a servi de terreau à une fiction écrite collectivement.

Résumé:
L'architecte et urbaniste Claire Schorter, Grand Prix de l'urbanisme 2024, revendique un «art des tracés», et s'engage pour une ville complexe, dont la profondeur historique permet d'en développer la dimension sensible et humaine.Le nom de l'agence qu'elle préside, l'agence LAQ, ''L'Amour des Quartiers'', donne le ton. Son objectif est d'utiliser la dépendance fragilisante des métropoles pour repenser les systèmes de réciprocité avec leurs territoires vitaux périphériques. À cet égard, la restauration et la préservation des sols nourriciers, porteurs de biodiversité, sont au cœur de son approche de la ville. Une pratique tout en nuances, en exigence et en attention aux détails qui invite à sortir des logiques sectorielles et à repenser les approches, publiques comme privées, pour mieux répondre aux enjeux climatiques. Cet ouvrage explore les trois principaux axes de sa démarche : un art précis de la composition urbaine s'appuyant sur des méthodes originales, la priorité faite aux usages, qui porte à dessiner une ville pacifiée, dont le confort des espaces publics et privés résulte d'une articulation soigneuse entre forme urbaine et architecture, ainsi que le souci écologique des sols, de la biodiversité et de la nécessaire réparation des territoires.

What does such a voice capacitate in times of crises and uncertainties? In ''Building a Voice: Sound, Surface, Skin'', Zeynep Bulut explores these questions. She examines the multi-sensory and collective forms of voice making in experimental music, sound and media art in conversation with the use of voice in creative interventions for environmental crisis, experiences of voice hearing, and digital technologies of artificial and tactile speech.

American homes are typically made of lumber and plywood delivered by a global system of ruthless extraction, or of concrete and steel, which are even worse for the planet.

Résumé:
American homes are typically made of lumber and plywood delivered by a global system of ruthless extraction, or of concrete and steel, which are even worse for the planet. Wood is often the most sustainable material for building, but we need to protect diverse forests as much as we desperately need more houses. Brian Donahue addresses this modern conundrum by documenting his experiences building a timber frame home from the wood growing on his family farm, practicing “worst first” forestry. Through the stories of the trees he used (sugar maple, black cherry, black birch, and hemlock), and some he didn’t (white pine and red oak), the book also explores the history of Americans’ relationship with their forests.

Résumé:
In the 1920s, the Gulf of Naples was a magnet for European intellectuals in search of places as yet untouched by modernity. Among the revolutionaries, artists, and thinkers drawn to Naples were numerous scholars at a formative stage in their journeys: Walter Benjamin, Siegfried Kracauer, Alfred Sohn-Rethel, Asja Lacis, Theodor W. Adorno, and many others. While all were indelibly shaped by the volcanic Neapolitan landscape, it was Benjamin who first probed the relationship between the porous landscape and the local culture. But Adorno went further, transforming his surroundings into a radical new philosophy—one that became a turning point in the modern history of the discipline.
