🎁 During the Cold War, socialist countries used the gifting of architecture to manifest a new vision of international relations in a decolonizing world. Soviet, Eastern European, Chinese, and Cuban institutions donated factories, schools, hospitals, and housing to newly independent states across Africa and Asia, transforming cities and landscapes from Ethiopia and Ghana to Mongolia, Vietnam, and beyond.

The new book "The Gift: Spaces of Global Socialism and Their Afterlives," edited by Łukasz Stanek, traces these buildings from their design and construction to their long afterlives and everyday use. Examining the social, political, and racial dynamics of gift-giving, it offers a new perspective on global urbanization that moves beyond conventional Western-centered narratives.

📖 Featuring contributions by an international group of scholars and a wealth of previously unpublished contemporary and archival images, "The Gift" is available now via the link in our bio.

🏜️ While crises multiply and promises of growth and technology continue to shape our world, "New Rural" proposes a different path: a new relationship with nature and human nature, beyond extractivism, tourism, globalisation, and consumption. The authors call for a fundamental shift in how we think about and inhabit rural spaces, for a “new rurality”.

Urban virtues such as freedom, reason, and intimacy must be rethought and relived with an eye to the forgotten rural spaces. Could a change in our everyday life— decentralized, beyond globalisation and consumption— offer a viable alternative? And what might it look like? "New Rural" is not a conventional anthology. It is a choreography of various essays and positions that invites us to engage with the material realities of everyday life in new ways.

📖 Edited by Albert Kirchengast and Simon Strauß, with a photo series by Ralf Mecke and Elfie Semotan, "New Rural" is the latest volume in Landscript, the publication series dedicated to the aesthetics and design of landscape. Find it now through the link in our bio!

📐 What is the impact potential of interior architecture today?

This new, beautifully designed book explores this question through twelve propositions derived from everyday activities. At its core are fifteen student projects developed in Axel Müller-Schöll’s design class at Burg Giebichenstein University in Halle and accompanied by reflections from teaching staff.

✏️ From precise spatial interventions and freehand drawings to sectional models, axonometric studies, and moving images, the projects reveal diverse approaches to thinking about and shaping the architectural interior. Bringing together artistic research, teaching, and design practice, the book reflects on the development and contemporary relevance of interior architecture over the past three decades.

Offering experimental perspectives and practical impulses for students, educators, and practitioners, this bilingual English/German edition is available now 📖✨ https://www.jovis.de/de/book/9783986123642?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=post

🪨 From cavernous quarries carved by centuries of stone extraction to vibrant public spaces, Stone Voids tells the story of how award-winning Chinese architect Xu Tiantian and her studio DnA Design and Architecture transformed the Huangyan stone quarries in Taizhou, China. Through her approach of "architectural acupuncture," she has returned 20,000 square meters of disused industrial land to the community, combining precise, minimal interventions with a deep engagement in local culture and ecology.

⛰️ This beautiful new book documents Xu Tiantian's latest rural revitalization project through essays, interviews, and richly illustrated project documentation. Bringing together perspectives from architecture, history, ecology, and community, it explores how a once-forgotten industrial landscape has been reimagined as a place for gathering, memory, and renewal, offering an inspiring model for the adaptive reuse of industrial heritage worldwide.

🏛️ Bauausstellungen haben eine lange und überraschende Geschichte. Regine Heß hat sie als architekturhistorisches Forschungsobjekt mit eigener Genealogie und Wirkung untersucht und zeigt, dass Bauausstellungen eine Tradition besitzen, die auf die Welt-, Industrie-, Kunstgewerbe- und Kolonialausstellungen des 19. Jahrhunderts zurückgeht.

✨ Es waren die bekanntesten Vertreter*innen aus Architektur, Design und Landschaftsgestaltung, die die Typologien großer Ausstellungen weiterentwickelten und dem neuen Format der Bauausstellung anpassten.

🏗️ Anhand von 17 teils erstmals erforschten Expositionen bietet "Von der Weltausstellung zur Bauausstellung" eine Architekturgeschichte großer Ausstellungen und zeichnet ihre Entwicklung von der World’s Fair in London 1851 zur Internationalen Bauausstellung in West-Berlin 1957 unter Aspekten wie architektonisch bedingter Repräsentationsmacht, industrieller Architektur oder der rassistischen Praxis des Othering nach.

Amid deepening socio-ecological crises, urban realities are changing fundamentally. Cinema, a medium historically intertwined with the city, has likewise undergone a profound transformation in its modes of representation and visual culture since the late 1980s. Today filmmakers, photographers, and radical artists investigate the distant landscapes and territories of extended urbanization in all their complexity and films like Behemoth (Zhao Liang, 2015), Homo Urbanus (Ila Bêka & Louise Lemoine, 2010), and Leviathan (Véréna Paravel, 2012) exemplify this practice. 🎥🏙️

How do cinema and the representation of the city mutually shape each other? This book stages an encounter between filmmaking and the built environment, as well as film theory and the theory of planetary urbanization, by deploying the notion of the urban sensorium as a conceptual lens. It foregrounds the multifaceted sensory experiences of urban life within and beyond the city and their representation in cinema. 🌍

With a foreword by Neil Brenner and contributions by Nitin Bathla, Silvia Cipelletti, Markus Lähteenmäki, Klearjos E. Papanicolaou, Äsel Kadyrkhanova, Mosè Cometta, Jacqueline Maurer, Sofie Stilling, Søren Nielsen, Hans Teerds, Fred Truniger, Emil Hvelplund Kristiansen, Anne Romme, Lorenzo Tripodi, Adam Jasper, Junia Cambraia Mortimer, Roberto Luís Monte-Mór, Rosa Barba, Joshua Bonnetta, J.P.
