A documentation of a seminal and internationally recognised re-naturalisation project for a river in Switzerland.

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.

An urbanist research project on concepts of social space rooted in land domestication and landscape idolatry; and an exploration of the role agriculture played in modern Israel's urbanisation processes, creation of a national narrative, and changes in local climate.
