This is one of the few if not the only book in architecture discussing solely the role of the contemporary architecture curator and doing so through a wide range of curatorial practices worldwide. Most discussions usually come from art. The author “unveils the emergence of the ‘new curator’. Instead of exhibiting finished works or artefacts, the rise of ‘performative curation’ provides a space where experimental methods for encountering design ideas are being tested.” For any student, researcher or faculty member working in or with exhibitions.

This bilingual (English/Spanish) book “offers an overview of work by young architects in Latin America, sheds light on practice and aesthetics in contemporary Latin American architecture, and looks at the manifold difficulties and challenges faced by local architects.” The book presents the work of emerging studios in the region through their exhibitions at LIGA, a gallery in Mexico City. It also includes a set of short essays from figures such as Florencia Rodriguez, Anna Puigjaner, Rory Hyde, and Tina Dicarlo.

Our economic system is broken. The climate crisis is accelerating. Inequality is deepening. Public trust is crumbling. Wealth concentrates in fewer hands while governments scramble to fix what markets can’t do, rather than to shape them from the outset.

For too long, economics has treated ‘the good’ – whether public goods or the commons – as merely correcting market or government failures. This economic framing traps us in an endless cycle of being reactive, patching problems rather than proactively building the economy we need.

In The Common Good Economy, Mariana Mazzucato builds on her visionary ideas of the entrepreneurial state and mission-oriented policies to establish a new theory of the common good, one which allows governments and businesses to develop purposeful economic relationships, creating value and building spaces where human flourishing can happen. She argues that how we achieve collective goals – through collective action, participation and reciprocity – matters as much as what those goals are. The book provides a practical ‘common good compass’ to help navigate our economies in a radically different direction.

Un resoconto dettagliato, basato sul lavoro sul campo e su interviste, di come le norme in materia di donne, pace e sicurezza vengono militarizzate e messe al servizio dell’efficacia operativa. Le organizzazioni internazionali e i governi vogliono aumentare la partecipazione delle donne alle operazioni militari e alla costruzione della pace. L’uguaglianza di genere è sempre più vista come l’antidoto ai conflitti, un fattore chiave per raggiungere la stabilità. Sebbene l’attivismo femminista abbia ispirato l’emergere di queste norme su genere e conflitti, esse sono state istituzionalizzate attraverso il programma Donne, Pace e Sicurezza (WPS), con l’esercito in prima linea in tali cambiamenti. Nel suo libro Deploying Feminism, Stéfanie von Hlatky racconta la storia di come all’esercito sia stata delegata l’autorità di promuovere la parità di genere nell’ambito delle proprie attività, affrontando al contempo minacce sempre più complesse. Basandosi sul lavoro sul campo e sulle interviste, illustra come la NATO, la principale alleanza mondiale, abbia addirittura incorporato queste idee nella pianificazione e nell’esecuzione delle sue missioni.
