ALEKSANDAR DURAVCEVIC – Totah Born in 1970, Aleksandar Duravcevic lives and works in New York, NY. His sculptures, installations, and drawings focus on the world’s dualities–between cultures, within history, and between life and death. His works are based on anatomical and anthropological diagrams. Through these images he establishes a dialogue–a continuous investigation that stems from a personal need to open, to dissect, to catalog, to make a mark. Duravcevic’s works have been included in exhibitions in prestigious museums around the world, including The Uffizi in Florence and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where they are part of the permanent collection. Queers, Feminists & Interiors - THE FUNAMBULIST MAGAZINE Queers, Feminists & Interiors presents a critique of the normative violence of gender in the specific context of indoor architectures. It engages a dialogue between trans perspectives on public bathrooms (Paul B. Preciado and Myka T. Johnson & Jamie Marsicano) or the capitalist workplace (João Gabriell), the demagogic blindspot of femonationalism when violence against women is deployed in domestic spaces (Sara Farris), the clandestine alternatives to white “gayborhoods” for queer Arabs in France (Mehammed Amadeus Mack), the impossibility for young Hong Kong lesbians or, to an even higher degree, female migrant domestic workers to access “a room of one’s own” (Sonia Wong and Tings Chak), the violence of the norm in the design of all rooms and furniture (Léopold Lambert), or the far-from-neutral space of the coming out (Paola Paredes). 2 | THE YEAR OF THE SHARK: RECOGNIZING THOSE WHO RETERRITORIALIZE HAWAI’ILaurel Mei-Singh

Moving away from architecture's traditional focus on the look and making of buildings, Spatial Agency proposes a much more expansive field of opportunities in which architects and non-architects can operate. It suggests other ways of doing architecture. In the spirit of Cedric Price the project started with the belief that a building is not necessarily the best solution to a spatial problem.
How To Build an Earth-Sheltered Greenhouse - Natural Health I had a dream once. - I am standing in a vast green summer field looking down into the earth. The ground is a large glass roof in the shape of a cross. I can see tropical plants and seedlings flourish in the warm, light flooded space beneath. There is a sacredness to the space that is breathtaking. - I woke up and remembered both the beauty and impossibility of the vivid dream. Plants growing happily underneath the earth?

The architecture of violence Filmmaker: Ana Naomi de Sousa On a journey across the settlements and roads of the West Bank and along the Separation Wall, Israeli architect Eyal Weizman demonstrates how architecture is central to the Israeli occupation of Palestine. "Architecture and the built environment is a kind of a slow violence. The occupation is an environment that was conceived to strangulate Palestinian communities, villages and towns, to create an environment that would be unliveable for the people there," says Weizman.

Edouard François: Eden Bio Eden Bio was a study of the densification of a typical suburban block on the east side of Paris. Three ideas guided the project. The first idea was to respect the surroundings and its history "à la Doisneau". There were pre-existing buildings, full of life and devoid of pretension, some low, others tall. Long and narrow alleyways that are remnant of the area’s agricultural history interrupt the street alignment and spatially define the plot, while vegetation-filled corridors lead the eye into the sun-filled core of the block. The program quickly became clear: to avoid building directly on street alignments, to maintain the disparate suburban alignments, and to respect the alleys as connections that serve the whole complex.

Les Bains Des Docks - Wikipedia Les Bains Des Docks (The Bath by the docks) is an Aquatic Center in the city of Le Havre, France. It was designed by award winning architectural firm Ateliers Jean Nouvel as part of an effort by Le Havre to revitalize its docks and warehouse district. About[edit] The overall design was inspired by the Roman thermal baths as people can go to congregate in most of the various pools year round. About « 2012Architecten From Superuse to Recyclicity 2012Architecten is a Rotterdam based architecture office that utilizes the contextual potential for design. A design is not considered as the beginning of a linear process but as a phase in a continuous cycle of creation and recreation, use and reuse. The latent properties of used materials and products offer an added value to new products and buildings. Our office views re-use as an integrated design strategy called ‘superuse’. The reuse concept applies to building materials as well as to energy supplies, human resources, water, traffic and food cycles.
Studio Mann Spatial Design – Design of installations and exhibitions, with a focus on developing coherent and inspiring stories and translating them into a 3Dimensional environment. Working with various parties – curators, art directors and academics – makes it important to thoroughly understand both content and design intent before creating the experience.My approach has a strong emphasis on routing, intelligent combination of storytelling elements, color and material use, and the effects of acoustics and light. Textile Design – Design of fabrics and curtains that vary between interventions in a simple plane or that become spatial objects in themselves; creating rooms within the existing architecture. Aim is to improve the quality of space by reacting to light and acoustic conditions.
