477 – Italian review. New synergies between architects and builders

january-february 2021
The projects presented in this issue, together with the winners and honourable mentions from the 2020 edition of the InArch/ANCE awards, present an appeal for new synergies between architects and builders. From this principle and from the idea that architecture projects must be not only speculative but truly centred on quality and the common good, the world of architects and the system of builders must set out together to restore actions intent on transforming our habitat to coherent trajectories of development, respectful of people and the environment.

476 – Italian review. Building atop the built

november-december 2020
In recent years the interpretation and rewriting of existing buildings has become the prevalent activity for a rather large group of architects operating within the panorama of Italian architecture, a typical expression and field of research, perhaps more laborious, but also more stimulating. This issue wants to investigate different fields of action tied to this way of working, to understand its strategies and languages, to discover its multiple and variegated expressions.

475 – Urban metabolism and recycling practices

september-october 2020
The construction industry, as we know, produces the greatest damages to the environment in all of its phases: from the preparation of raw materials and components to the construction site to the use and operation of what is built. The projects selected for this issue present a vast range of situations in which the principles of recycling are applied not only to buildings, dilapidated areas or entire landscapes. They also demonstrate the ability to trigger virtuous processes of regeneration extended to the broader physical, social and economic context. Furthermore, this logic assigns the architect a determinant role in controlling the diverse phases.

474 – Water and architecture

july-august 2020
Water as a symbolic factor, an integral part of architectural composition; water as infrastructure innervating the city and
territory with which it establishes relations of reciprocal interaction; water as a resource for re-establishing environmental
equilibriums in anthropic territories: these are just some of the principal themes explored in the selection of projects presented in this issue. United with functional questions and necessities linked with aesthetic suggestions bound to water, these aspects are offering important occasions for experiments, prefiguring new and more sustainable urban scenarios.
