■ Each annual update adds new material

■ It includes additional material such as animated renderings and explanatory audios

For the first time, architecture at De Gruyter Brill presents itself as a cohesive whole. The result: greater clarity, more variety, and fresh perspectives—a space for dialogue and resonance.

There is much to discover: architecture as a gift—an expression of connection and belonging within global socialism. In June 2026, Carlo Scarpa would have turned 120. We present his work through the lens of construction and his distinctive relationship with glass. As Scarpa put it, “Il dettaglio è più importante dell’insieme”—the detail is more important than the whole.

Contemporary themes such as building with water or natural stone as a timeless façade material take center stage. Invisible Labour sheds light on what is so often overlooked. Jan Gehl reminds us, “First life, then spaces, then buildings,” while Lucius Burckhardt invites us to see building as an open­ended process.

Discover even more—what will you choose as your personal highlight or gift?

We look forward to an inspiring, book­filled autumn— thoughtfully curated, designed, and printed.

Enjoy reading!

The gifting of architecture during the Cold War was a spectacular means for socialist countries to manifest a new vision of international relations for the decolonizing world. Soviet, Eastern European, Chinese, and Cuban institutions donated factories, schools, hospitals, and housing to newly independent states in Africa and Asia, transforming cities and landscapes in Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania, Mongolia, Vietnam, and elsewhere. This book shows how the moral, temporal, and racial dynamics of gift-giving conditioned the design, construction, and afterlives of these buildings. It debates how the generosity and violence specific to gift exchange, and the social bonds that it creates, shaped and continue to shape everyday urbanism across Africa and Asia. By rereading these encounters, The Gift offers a uniquely differentiated genealogy of global urbanization and its architecture.

En Carlo Scarpa and Carlo Maschietto represent a remarkable dialogue between visionary architecture and masterful craftsmanship. Scarpa was renowned for his poetic approach to materials, detail, and spatial composition. Working closely with skilled craftsmen, he created works of timeless elegance. Among these collaborators, Carlo Maschietto played a crucial role: a master engineer whose technical precision and deep understanding of materials helped translate Scarpa’s complex designs into built reality.

Carlo Scarpa (1906–1978) was an influential Italian architect and designer whose handling of materials, craftsmanship, and detail made him a major figure in 20th-century architecture. Written by Swiss and Italian experts, this book compares Scarpa’s aesthetic experiments with stained glass in Venice during the 1920s and 1930s with the work of several important 20th-century Swiss artists: Edmond Bille, Bodjol, Charles Hindenlang, Felix Hoffmann, Burkhard Mangold, Robert Schär, Otto Staiger, Hans Stocker, and Peter Travaglini, among others. Special attention is paid to Scarpa’s early experimentation with little-known projects for the Venetian glassworks M.V.M. Cappellin & C.: a set of stainedglass windows that reveal key aspects of his emerging approach to the material, light, and craftsmanship.

This anthology approaches water not as a resource to be managed but as a vital condition shaping territories and cultures. Emerging from the paradox of water’s disappearance from everyday awareness even as floods and droughts intensify, the book repositions water as a spatial agent. Rather than advancing technical fixes, it asks a fundamental question: What does it mean for designers to become “Guardians of Water”? Landscape architecture is reframed as an ethical and political practice grounded in reciprocity and long-term stewardship. Structured in three chapters, “Fluid Soils,” “Cloud Forests,” and “Rituals of Care,” the

In recent years, structural stone in buildings has experienced a renaissance. This book offers a critical look at what the choice of stone is doing to contemporary architecture, in terms of both practice and form. Building in Stone Today takes observations of professionals at work—architects, engineers, quarriers, builders but also clients and their advisors—as its point of departure. The themes it addresses are stone’s perceived novelty as a modern building material; the politics of its provenance; the logic of its supply; the expertise it calls upon; the labor involved in its extraction and assembly; its haptic qualities; and finally, its capacity to last. Assembling voices and commentaries from Spain, Switzerland and,

Interest in clay as a building material remains undiminished. Lightweight clay—both low in weight and easy to work with—is a versatile and forward-looking material for modern, computer-assisted timber construction as well as for the restoration of historical timber-frame clay structures. Its balanced building-physics properties, which can be controlled through the mixing ratio, enable climate-appropriate and resourceefficient construction across a wide range of climatic conditions. As a result, heat storage capacity, moisture regulation, sound insulation, and fire protection in conventional timber construction are improved, while structural systems are simplified.

The municipal depot has traditionally been the hub of local government services: it is where organization, technology, and operational readiness come together. Whether it’s a storage area for building materials, road maintenance, landscaping, or winter services—the building yard ensures that towns and municipalities function on a daily basis. Building on this, this site—now as a conversion yard—could also play a central role in the reuse of building components and the reduction of construction waste.

In a pilot project by Architektur Raumburgenland and asphalt / Kollektiv für Architektur, these possibilities were put to the test in practice through temporary pop-up conversion yards. The book documents this practical trial and demonstrates the potential of this infrastructure for resource-efficient building practices. Supplemented by guest contributions, it brings together diverse perspectives and presents the conversion yard as a

How can architectural education respond meaningfully to the climate crisis? And how can we let students feel the limitations and potentials of working directly with reclaimed building materials? Positioning architects as key agents of change, this book argues for a fundamental shift from extractive design thinking toward availability-based design—starting not from abstract form or resources, but from what already exists. By placing students in direct contact with reclaimed materials and real construction constraints, Crafting Circularity shows how learning-through-making can embed circular thinking at the core of the design studio.

Concrete is a highly transformative building material. Its story begins in the ancient world, where early builders discovered that mixing lime with volcanic ash created a remarkably strong substance. The invention of Portland cement in the 19th century, and concrete’s systematic reinforcement with steel in the 20th, further revolutionized modern construction. While concrete remains a hard-to-replace material, the huge carbon footprint and environmental impact of its production have become the focus of much recent research and concern. This volume looks at the future of concrete from different perspectives, investigating how its sustainability will draw from innovative research and from past solutions.

Post-war Modernism’s most defining element—the glass and aluminum curtain wall—is also its greatest vulnerability. Designed as thin, industrialized systems, these systems now face failure and potential demolition due to aging materials, poor performance, obsolescence, and rising environmental demands. Preserving them requires balancing building physics, heritage conservation, and real estate pressures. Following a concise history of the modern curtain wall, this publication presents selected case studies—from 100 Park Avenue (Charles Luckman, 1949) and the Pfizer Building (Emery Roth & Sons, 1963) in New York to Great Arthur House in London (Chamberlin, Powell and Bon, 1962) and the Rotterdam Library in the Netherlands

At the book’s core lies a quiet but radical idea: matter does not merely serve human thought; it participates in how we think, build, and understand our environments. Fibers, surfaces, and tools—from tree bark, fungi, and wool to digital data and clouds—become active partners in perception and design processes, co-producing knowledge across laboratories, workshops, studios, and archives, and opening new pathways for human–material interaction. Emerging from the Berlin-based Matters of Activity Cluster of Excellence, this volume assembles case studies, essays, and material experiments conducted across the natural sciences, humanities, and design. The underlying collaborative research rethinks materiality as relational, historically situated, and actively shaping the world we inhabit.

Herman Hertzberger, more than almost any other European architect, engaged with the urban planning and architectural issues of Berlin from the early 1980s until the turn of the millennium. Yet most of this decadeslong engagement remained unbuilt: only two of the sixteen planned projects were realized, while others were abandoned as a result of the historic event of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Inken Baller, who at the time served as the local architect for Hertzberger’s Berlin projects, together with architectural historian Brigitte Jacob, documents for the first time all of the Dutch architect’s buildings and projects developed for Berlin. In conversation, Hertzberger reflects on his work for the capital, which still offers responses to contemporary issues such as social isolation and adaptability. His collages address essential questions of spatial formation and, as tools for thinking within his body of work, represent a novelty in his oeuvre.

ALBUM traces four decades of work by Vienna-based architect Martin Kohlbauer, whose competition-driven projects have shaped a precise and at times sculptural architectural language. Beginning in the 1980s, the book invites readers on a walk through residential, educational, office, and utilitarian buildings, exhibition designs, distinctive proposals, and unbuilt projects. It highlights Kohlbauer’s ability to merge bold gestures with spatial refinement, creating places where people genuinely enjoy spending time. Isabella Marboe presents this multifaceted body of work with clarity and rich visual depth.

Eckhard Gerber and and his firm Gerber Architekten are among the most renowned representatives of German architecture. For six decades, he and his team have realized a large number of public and private buildings that meet the highest architectural standards through their conceptual clarity. The third volume of the Baukunst series once again showcases the firm’s broad spectrum. The projects from 2016–2026 range from corporate headquarters and business parks to student residences, residential and hotel complexes, research laboratories and institutes, and conversions of valuable existing buildings. Since the construction of the King Fahad National Library in Riyadh 15 years ago, Gerber Architects has also made a name for itself internationally. This is evident in projects in China and on the Arabian Peninsula, including a museum, a subway station, a science center, and the spectacular large-scale project of King Salman Park in Riyadh. When completed, King Salman Park will not only be the largest urban park in the world, but also a symbol of Saudi Arabia’s post-fossil fuel transition—and a significant research project on how to create an oasis world as a new city center in an arid climate.

An outstanding example of postwar architecture, the School of Fine Arts in Kassel, designed by Paul Posenenske, is characterized by its differentiated spatial structure, high degree of variability, and an atmosphere of lightness. This comprehensive monograph, featuring previously unpublished documents, plans, and photographs, traces its development—from the architect’s biographical influences and the institutional and cultural-political context, to the design and construction process and an analysis of the project, completed in 1968, including the associated furniture and lighting. The subsequent history of its use

is followed by a sketch of possible futures— from the challenges of the planned energy-efficient renovation to dystopian visions.

In southern Mali, between Siby and Kalassa, several facilities for the CAAS development aid project have been built since 2018. A campus provides training for young women in small-scale farming techniques, while an agricultural enterprise supports both production and hands-on learning. The buildings are complemented by individual measures for school education, sports, medical care, and infrastructure. The publication documents the project by the Munichbased firm Wieland Schmidt Architekten in detail—from urban planning to constructiondetails—and explains how responds to the climatic conditions of the Sahel.

Konrad Wachsmann’s Local Orientation Manipulator (LOM) was a visionary step toward the automation of architectural construction. Developed in 1969 with John Bollinger and Xavier Mendoza at the University of Southern California, the LOM was conceived as a mechanical system capable of positioning and orienting building components freely in space, enabling their precise assembly.

More than a machine, the LOM represented Wachsmann’s radical belief that architecture could evolve through industrialized processes and intelligent systems.

Structures, Systems and Voids offers the first comprehensive monographic study of Leonardo Mosso and Laura Castagno-Mosso in more than forty years, highlighting their distinctive position beyond Italy’s dominant postmodern narratives. Their work forms an original synthesis of emerging computer technologies, philosophical and political inquiry, and a linguistic exploration of structural nodes. Far from being limited to its historical moment, their research anticipates today’s discussions on digital tools in architecture, often constrained by efficiencydriven approaches. Central to their contribution is a dual commitment to computational experimentation and a radical vision for social and political transformation. Their relevance extends well beyond national boundaries, as demonstrated by exchanges with Nove Tendencije, Alvar Aalto, and Konrad Wachsmann, underscoring the European and international scope of their architectural thought.

Between standards, technology, and cost pressures, building threatens to become purely functional. But when do we feel comfortable in spaces? Why do the walls of some new buildings remain bare? How does one actually design? And is there a hell for architects? This book seeks answers to big and detailed questions about contemporary architecture. Contributions from practitioners, craftsmen, and residents provide insights into everyday design and planning. The focus is on the work of roedig.schop architekten + partner, who have been shaping residential construction in Berlin for 25 years with a consistently user-oriented approach. Their simple but radical claim is that every apartment must be designed in such a way that the designers themselves would want to live in it.

The urban courtyard and its far-reaching significance for the development of neighborhoods was the focus of the 15th Konferenz zur Schönheit und Lebensfähigkeit der Städte (Conference on the Beauty and Viability of the City). The division of the city into public and private spaces is a fundamental quality of urban planning, as it provides residents with open spaces, gardens, and courtyards on their properties, which they can take care of together. This selforganized arrangement strengthens social interaction and promotes democratic behavior in daily negtciations within the residential community. In lectures and discussions, experts examine social, urban planning, transportation, ecological, and architectural aspects of urban courtyards.

Following economic reform in 1978 and continuing until 1992, modern lay-built houses emerged in rural regions and villages of the People’s Republic of China. The one- tofour- story structures were constructed from reused materials salvaged from disassembled traditional houses, with timber framing and masonry infill rearranged within a new concrete frame. Organized as a building manual, including a catalog of house types, the book provides retroactive documentation of architecture from a period of dramatic change.

Housing Greece offers a critical perspective on state housing through the lens of emergency. Examining key episodes in Greece’s modern history, the book reveals how turbulent factors—such as migration flows, warfare, natural disasters, political instability, and economic crises—have shaped state housing policy from its early developments to the present, often as ad hoc interventions. Drawing on extensive archival research and fieldwork, each chapter is anchored in a specific emergency, from the 1922 refugee crisis following the Asia Minor Catastrophe to the 2008 economic meltdown and the 2014 Mediterranean refugee influx.

Twelve indicatives referring to everyday activities form the central theme of the book and argue for the potential impact of interior design, which this discipline has developed over the past 30 years. Fifteen projects by students, created in Axel MüllerSchöll’s design class at Burg Giebichenstein in Halle and reflected upon by staff members, are presented. The positions range from precise spatial settings to lectures on case studies. A foray through ideas that address the interior of architecture in very different ways—as freehand drawings, sectional models, axonometric concentrates, or with the help of moving images.

These days, housing is the subject of intense debate economically, due to the acute shortage of affordable housing; sociologically, because our society is changing rapidly; politically, because the allocation of space raises questions of justice; ecologically, because housing requires resources and generates emissions—and, of course, architecturally as well. This edited volume examines the processes of transformation in housing from a transdisciplinary perspective and focuses on two areas of tension: “Adequacy and Entitlement Mentality” raises questions about affordable construction, new standards, and sufficiency-oriented strategies. “Individuality and Community” addresses societal challenges, collective approaches to thinking and problem-solving, as well as alternative housing models.

The second volume of the Fundamente Ökologisches Bauen series offers insights into around 50 historical and current anti-demolition campaigns in Germany and Europe. For the first time, the editors systematically structure strategies for building preservation, ranging from knowledge production and conversion concepts to media attention, political influence, artistic actions, and legal means—as well as unconventional forms of resistance such as squatting or the protection of endangered species. The book reveals a wide range of options for stakeholders with diverse motivations and backgrounds. Häuser retten adopts the perspective of activism and civil society, highlights a previously neglected aspect of architectural and urban history, and raises the question of how participation in planning and spatial production is possible today.

Respect for nature has long shaped Bhutan’s forest management. Since the 1990s, community forestry has expanded steadily, placing large areas of state forest under local stewardship. Based on shared responsibility and mutual benefit, this model underpins Bhutan’s development as the world’s first carbon-negative country. Bauhaus Earth explored this context as a testing ground for regenerative building practices that meet national housing needs while sustaining forest health. Working alongside them, artist Bas Princen traces through his lens the wood’s transformation across time and space. Both a photographic journey and a conversation, the book presents regenerative construction in Bhutan as an interconnected system of landscapes, materials, and people.

From the US–Mexico border to coastal Colombia, from Nigeria to Bangladesh, scholarship on displacement and climate has grown in recent years, reframing climate change not as the sole driver of migration but as part of a complex matrix of economic, social, and political forces. Against this backdrop, this book addresses the climate–space–displacement nexus by foregrounding spatial imaginaries that inspire hopeful futures. Bringing together interdisciplinary contributions from geography, planning, anthropology, sociology, and architecture, it explores resistant and emerging spatialities of displacement. Structured around three sections—Shifting Grounds, Erratic Waters, and Lines of Flight—the volume offers transversal lenses across contexts, concluding with a visual analytical synthesis that invites reflection on

Moving across three scales—data, environment, and construction—it uncovers the human effort behind design, from the masons of Brunelleschi’s dome to the “Harvard Computers” who mapped the stars, and from managed forests to the collaborative making of postwar housing. Through original essays and curated archival material, the book offers a new way to understand design in an age shaped by climate pressures and digital systems. It argues that the future of architecture depends on recognizing, valuing, and caring for the labour—both technical and social—that already sustains the spaces around us. By bringing this unseen work to light, Invisible Labour invites readers to rethink how buildings come to be and what it takes to keep them standing.

Meteora Studio approaches architecture as a practice of architectonic thinking, where ideas develop through imaginary dialogues that weave together reflection and deliberate action. This mode of inquiry moves fluidly across scales, uncovering subtle conditions while outlining broader frameworks for what is yet to emerge. Writing becomes a tool for shaping principles and motifs without reducing them to personal authorship. In this embodied yet abstract practice, diverse forms of intelligence find a hospitable ground, enabling a shared and continuously evolving understanding of design. Meteora is the design studio of the Chair of Digital Architectonics, led by Prof. Dr. Ludger Hovestadt at ETH Zurich’s Department of Architecture, and conducted by Jorge Orozco, Adil Bokhari, and Miro Roman.

En Architecture is a fundamentally future-oriented discipline that seeks to reconcile today’s visions with the realities of tomorrow. Futures, understood as evidence-based spatial projections, are materialized in imaginaries. As collectively and socially con structed frameworks of concepts, models, representations, and narratives, they constitute imaginary worlds within which societies seek to position themselves in the world. They lend meaning to our stories and influence the ways in which challenges are perceived and opportunities are articulated and implemented. At the intersection of architectural practice and academic research, this publication examines the significance of imaginaries and bridges

New Age by Design reveals the twenty-year master-planning history of the University of California, Irvine, built on a Southern Californian ranch in the early 1960s. Envisioned as an educational experiment by bureaucrats and designed by modernist architect William Pereira, this carefully orchestrated vision blends the aspirations of cybernetic science, political ambition, and the promise of an ever-new frontier to be conquered. At the dawn of the turbulent cultural era later dubbed the “Age of Aquarius,” the campus was intended to revolutionize the way students would live

What part did processes of abstraction play in modern architecture in the context of cultural, technical, and social developments? Anselm Treichler explores this question by analyzing and re-evaluating modernist designs and buildings. His reflections focus on the close links between, on the one hand, new materials and constructions made of iron, steel, concrete, and, glass, and on the other hand, technical innovations and design concepts. Amid such changes came the exciting emergence of a new architectural language, which is presented on the basis of selected works by Schinkel, Berlage, Loos, Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, and Le Corbusier.

Large and small cities, as well as urban landscapes, are faced with the challenge of developing the built environment in harmony with natural processes. The Europan 18 competition calls on young architects and planners in Europe to explore new design strategies and develop projects that make clever use of existing resources rather than relying on demolition and new construction. At the German locations of Regensburg and Speichersdorf, as well as the Austrian location of Bregenz-HardFussach-Höchst, projects were developed along the thematic lines of “Natural elements as design partners,” “New ways of living, different spaces,” and “Building with what is already there.” These highlight the existing building stock as a starting point for inclusive municipal transformation processes.

Sociologist Lucius Burckhardt and architect Walter Maria Förderer may seem an unlikely pair, yet their 1968 book Bauen ein Prozess reveals a shared vision: architecture as an ongoing political, and cultural negotiation. By shifting attention to the phases before construction and after completion, they challenge the idea of new buildings as “clean solutions” and highlight flexibility, conflict, and user agency. In ten concise chapters, they question preservation dogmas and argue for hybrid, adaptable architectures. This new edition underscores their lasting insight: the future of sustainability lies in cultivating a culture of transformation. For the first time, the book is now available in English.

Lucius Burckhardt, 1925–2003), Dr. phil., Basel, worked from 1955 as a research associate at the Social Research Center of the University of Münster in Dortmund. After a visiting lectureship at the Ulm School of Design in 1959, he held teaching appointments and later visiting professorships in sociology at the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich from 1961 to 1973. At the same time, he served as editor-in-chief of the journal Werk from 1962 to 1972. From 1976 to 1983, Burckhardt was Chair of the Deutscher Werkbund. From 1973, he taught as Professor of Socioeconomics of Urban Systems at the University of Kassel, where he had a lasting influence on the Department of Architecture, Urban Planning, and Landscape Planning. His work also benefited from close exchange with fellow faculty, students, and external collaborators.

He is regarded as the founder of promenadology. He was a corresponding member of the German Academy for Urban and Regional Planning, a Chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, a member of the founding advisory board of the Saar College of Fine Arts (1987–1989), and Founding Dean of the Faculty of Design at Bauhaus University Weimar (1992–1994). His work was recognized with the Hessian Culture Prize (1994) for outstanding achievements in the fields of science, ecology and aesthetics, with the German Design Promotion Award (1995), and the Swiss Design Prize (2001). Lucius Burckhardt died in Basel in 2003. Annemarie Burckhardt, whom he married in 1955 and with whom he collaborated closely, died on July 15, 2012. Their joint work was featured at documenta 14 in Kassel and Athens in 2017.

Walter Maria Förderer (1928–2006) was a Swiss architect, sculptor, academic, and politician. His buildings include the Rosenberg Campus of the University of St. Gallen and the Church of St. Nicolas in Valais.

How can the transition to circular construction be organized at the territorial scale? Focusing on the Eurodelta region, which spans parts of the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, the book examines how cities, regions, and infrastructure systems can collaborate to support the circular transformation of the built environment. Based on the findings of the ASSET project, it demonstrates how spatial planning, policy, and infrastructure can reduce waste, reuse materials, and rethink urban development. Addressing both opportunities and limitations, the volume provides insights into real-world challenges such as housing demand, resource scarcity, and fragmented governance. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, it promotes practical, place-based approaches to circularity. By fostering more coordinated regional strategies, it offers valuable insights for planners, policymakers, and researchers engaged in circular transition processes.

While everyone is talking about multiple crises, the economy continues to grow (green), AI promises to reduce complexity, and wars rage, this book takes a stand: it calls for a new relationship with nature and human nature—beyond extractivism and tourism. The authors argue for a fundamental change in mentality, 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 tinvites

us to engage with the material realities of everyday life in new ways.

20 Imagined Landscapes explores how physical models shape creative thinking in landscape architecture, architecture, and art. Through essays centered on individual models, contributors reflect on how working with materials such as wood, clay, and metal—alongside emerging fabrication tools—generates ideas, tests spatial relationships, and communicates design intent. The book examines the embodied and iterative nature of model-making as a process grounded in touch, observation, and experimentation rather than linear problemsolving. At a time when digital tools dominate design practice, these essays reaffirm the enduring value of tactile exploration and craftsmanship, revealing physical models as powerful instruments of discovery and storytelling.

A persistent narrative portrays the ocean as an uninhabited space. However, centuries of commercial trade, along with expanding networks of infrastructure above and below the water’s surface, have long challenged this view, prompting researchers to conceptualize the sea as an urbanized environment. While the sea is a global arena where architecture, ecology, infrastructure, and politics intersect, its spatial dynamics remain largely uncharted.

In a time of planetary urbanization, The Ocean as Ground explores oceans as urban spaces by unveiling forgotten histories, projects, and narratives. How might land urbanization be understood from the vantage point of the ocean? Through the conceptual lens of “ground,” the book invites readers to rethink how we perceive,

For a long time, the goal of landscape architecture was to achieve a stable landscape image. This static perception of nature was, for example, immortalized in countless paintings of the ideal pastoral landscapes of the 18th-century English parks, or in glossy photographs of postmodern garden compositions. A pictorial approach required the strict control of ecological processes such as erosion, decay, emergence, and changes in plant populations—phenomena were considered unfavorable to the aesthetic experience of the landscape. Today, in the context of sustainability, ecological

Early 19th-century Siam enjoyed vigorous maritime trade with China that coincided with an influx of Chinese migrants to Bangkok, reshaping the city’s culture. The wealth and prestige of the Qing Empire attracted admiration even from Thai royalty, who became fond of Chinese literature and decorative art. As this publication highlights, these two strands converged in the creation of a new artistic style, a kind of Siamese chinoiserie, that became fashionable among court-affiliated elites. Known as “the royal preference,” this style was applied to numerous temples that were built or renovated during the Third Reign (1824–1851). It did not reproduce Chinese art and

This book examines design as a mode of philosophical inquiry, proposing that design gains critical relevance when it engages withthe material and technological structures that shape everyday life. Rather than offering solutions, it foregrounds design as a practice of questioning—one that reframes problems, visualizes tensions, and materializes ideas to make them thinkable. Through this lens, design becomes a method of understanding the world rather than transforming it through predetermined visions. The
