BRUTHER is the Paris-based architectural studio launched by Stéphanie Bru and Alexandre Theriot in 2007. Describing architecture as a “combat sport”, the duo rose to international prominence in 2014. Competitions, experiments, and investigations, are all part of a work process they see as a strategic game, a balancing act between abstraction and function, diversity and uniformity, opacity and transparency. This edition presents the full extent of their work through 29 projects, ranging from collective housing and cultural and educational institutions to pavilions and exhibitions. While many are small in scale or unbuilt, they nevertheless allow an in-depth look at the practice.

Publisher Avisa
Idea code 22107

In the fertile formal laboratory of Juan Carlos Sancho and Sol Madridejos, the fold is an instrument with great potential in their quest to attain structural, spatial, and material coherence in a single sweeping gesture. Arquitectura Viva presents a selection of four Spanish works, from a small chapel to a large educational complex, concluding with a recent international project. The magazine’s dossier features two museums that officially opened in recent months and which illustrate the trend of displaying collections in ‘visitable storehouses,’ free of exhibition criteria: the Musée de la Romanité in Narbonne, by Foster + Partners; and the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, by MVRDV.

Started in 2003 by Gilles Delalex and Yves Moreau, the practice is guided by geometric rigour and an intelligent combination of precise elements. This issue examines how Studio Muoto’s work expresses their concern for ethical responsibility and attention to social and economic contexts in a variety of programmes and typologies, and is designed to evolve over time. Selected projects include the École des medias in Brussels, Laboratoires in Basel, and Groupe scolaire in Versailles. The issue also features domestic experiments in Japanese suburbs and an update on the Public Library of Córdoba.

Log 53: Why Italy Now? Fall 2021
Isbn 9781736500712
Publisher Anyone Corporation
Idea code 22252
€ 18.95
'Log 53' asks the simple yet provocative question “Why Italy Now?” The responses are as diverse and multifaceted as the country itself. Exploring this seemingly well-trodden ground, one discovers that because of its historic centrality – and its precarity – Italy remains relevant to the challenges facing architecture today. As contributor Giulia Amoresano writes: “Amid calls today to challenge the Eurocentrism of canonical histories of architecture’s modernity and to work on decolonizing its theories and practices, work needs to be done on what we think canonical spaces are.”
