I am proud to present AA Files 78, which I have worked on as Technical Editor, and which was published just before the winter break.
It includes thematic sections on the Body, Cinema, Community, Environment, Home, Public and Territory, as well as a special feature on Jorge Otero-Pailos’ installation Ethics of Dust in Westminster Hall. Looking at a range of building typologies and histories from Pyongyang to Lusaka and beyond, it examines some of the broader contexts informing architectural practice, including timelines of ecological rupture, ways of measuring the human body and the emergence of privatised public space.
AA Files is edited by Maria Shéhérazade Giudici and designed by Sascha Lobe of Pentagram.
