"This was a journey of nostalgia. I was swept up in memories of first love, first heartbreak, and healing, all within the span of one evening.”—Courtney Peppernell – Author of Pillow ThoughtsI met you at dusk.We loved till midnight.Then, you left me.2am found me at my lowest.When the sun came up, I dried my tears,found my strength,and went on with my day.The poetry of 2am Thoughts condenses an entire relationship with its untamed emotions and experiences to a single day.

Chilean architect Smiljan Radic's career is one of the most unique in the contemporary architecture scene. Although he works mainly in Chile, his work has crossed borders after building the Serpentine Gallery pavilion (London, 2014). This 2G issue features a selection of the houses built by Radic in almost thirty years of his career, from the extension of the Charcoal Burner's House (Cupliprán, 1997-1998) or his Small House (Vilches, 1995-1996) to his last Wooden House (Lake Colico, 2014-2015) and Prism House (Coinguillio, 2017-2018). In addition to the fourteen houses featured, a text by Enrique Walker explains the keys to understanding his domestic work from the Small House, and another by Moisés Puente talks about all the interventions that Radic has built in an estate in Vilches for him and his family. Two texts by the architect himself speak about the tradition of certain Chilean houses of his interest and about the role that repairing has in architecture, beyond the mere restoration or preservation.

The New York architecture office MOS, founded by Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample, is one of the few in the United States that manages to build a quality work from their almost artisanal office structure. Their architecture's intention is not to programmatically experiment with social norms, wanting to use architecture to directly intervene or facilitate interactions between neighbors or occupants. MOS's projects are built through combining and aggregating a multiplicity of architectural elements: chimneys, corridors, courtyards, roofs, windows, etc.Their work is partially self-referential, drawing on a consistent set of elements, ideas, and characteristics from their own architectural catalogue.

Arquitectura-G is a young architectural studio based in Barcelona run by Jonathan Arnabat, Jordi Ayala-Bril, Aitor Fuentes, Igor Urdampilleta that began its professional career in the midst of the economic crisis, when public architecture competitions in Spain were paralyzed and the private initiative for housing construction was frozen. Their first works were apartment renovations in Barcelona, the few opportunities that the market offered at the time, but for a few years they have begun to build new buildings, such as the Luz house, for which they received the Mies van der Rohe Award for Emerging Architecture in 2015. His work moves between references to the local architecture of the 1970s and 80s and a new version of hedonistic Mediterranean architecture. In addition to their works around Barcelona, they have also built four stores for the fashion brand Acne (Nagoya, Stockholm, New York and Paris) and are currently working on a residential project in Portugal.

BAST experimentiert bei jedem Projekt mit verschiedenen Möglichkeiten. In der Entwurfsphase schlagen sie mehrere verschiedene Lösungen vor. Daher folgen sie keiner festgelegten formalen Methode, sondern ihre Projekte durchlaufen einen evolutionären Prozess. Das Architekturbüro BAST hat seinen Sitz in Toulouse, Frankreich. Die Architekten berufen sich auf Ideen der modernen Assemblage und Montage: Die strukturelle Einheit wird durch die Überlagerung von Logiken, Fassadenschichten, kollidierenden Strukturen und Schnitten in Frage gestellt. Die Gesamtlogik ergibt sich aus Ähnlichkeiten, aus Dingen, die wie etwas anderes aussehen, aber nicht genau das sind, was wir erwarten. Diese Elemente werden miteinander vermischt. Die Steuerung der sich daraus ergebenden Kombination erfordert eine sehr klare Vorstellung, denn sonst kann die Baustelle schnell im Chaos versinken. Das Bauprinzip gibt die Logik vor, und die Entwurfssequenz führt diese Elemente zusammen. Ist das Gestaltungsprinzip erst einmal definiert, ist es egal, ob der Fensterrahmen hier oder dort steht, der Katalysator ist bereits vorhanden. Die Fragmente können dann mit Blick auf eine vielversprechende Zukunft zusammengesetzt werden.Gespräch mit Jo Tailleau and Tiphaine Abenia. Fotos von BAST.

The first monograph on b+ reflects their wide-ranging practice, including building projects in Berlin, Minneapolis, fashion shows and furniture pieces.b+ is a collaborative project led by Arno Brandlhuber, Olaf Grawert, Jonas Janke and Roberta Jurcic that understands architecture as an open process, and views buildings as part of larger systems that require a systemic approach and can have a transformative effect. Thus, b+ celebrates the potential of the existing built environment and aims to reveal and activate the latent possibilities within. This monograph includes works such as the towers of the San Gimignano Lichtenberg project in Berlin, the Midway Contemporary Art Garage in Minneapolis, fashion shows for Tussardi, and furniture pieces. The monograph is preceded by texts by Aaron Betsky and Antje Stahl, as well as a reflection by the architects themselves on their practice within the international context.

The National Bestseller One of The Minneapolis Star Tribune's Best Books of the Year A superb book...[Kaplan is] a master biographer, a dogged researcher and shaper of narrative, and this is his most ambitious book to date. Los Angeles TimesFrom the author of the definitive biography of Frank Sinatra, the story of how jazz arrived at the pinnacle of American culture in 1959, told through the journey of three towering artists Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Bill Evans who came together to create the most iconic jazz album of all time, Kind of BlueThe myth of the 60s depends on the 1950s being the before times of conformity, segregation, straightness The Lonely Crowd and The Organization Man. This all carries some truth, but it does nothing to explain how, in 1959, America s great indigenous art form, jazz, reached the height of its power and popularity, thanks to a number of Black geniuses so legendary they go by one name Monk, Mingus, Rollins, Coltrane, and, above all, Miles. Nineteen fifty-nine saw Miles, Coltrane, Bill Evans, and more come together to record what is widely considered the greatest jazz album of all time, and certainly the bestselling: Kind of Blue. 3 Shades of Blue is James Kaplan s magnificent account of the paths of the three giants to the mountaintop of 1959 and beyond. It s a book about music, and business, and race, and heroin, and the towns that gave jazz its home, from New Orleans and New York to Kansas City, Philadelphia, Chicago, and LA. It s an astonishing meditation on creativity and the strange hothouses that can produce its full flowering. It s a book about the great forebears of this golden age, particularly Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, and the disrupters, like Ornette Coleman, who would take the music down truly new paths. And it s about why the world of jazz most people know is a museum to this never-replicated period.But above all, 3 Shades of Blue is a book about three very different men their struggles, their choices, their tragedies, their greatness. Bill Evans had a gruesome downward spiral; John Coltrane took the mystic s path into a space far away from mainstream concerns. Miles had three or four sea changes in him before the end. The tapestry of their lives is, in Kaplan s hands, an American odyssey with no direction home. It is also a masterpiece, a book about jazz that is as big as America.

On 2 March 1998 ten-year-old Natascha Kampusch was snatched off the street by a stranger and bundled into a white van. Hours later she found herself in a dark cellar, wrapped in a blanket. When she emerged eight years later, her childhood had gone. In "3,096 Days" Natascha tells her incredible story for the first time: her difficult childhood, what exactly happened on the day of her abduction, her imprisonment in a five-square-metre dungeon, and the mental and physical abuse she suffered from her abductor, Wolfgang Priklopil. "3,096 Days" is ultimately a story about the triumph of the human spirit. It describes how, in a situation of almost unbearable hopelessness, she slowly learned how to manipulate her captor. And how, against inconceivable odds, she managed to escape unbroken.

On March 2, 1998, 10-year-old Natascha Kampusch was kidnapped, and found herself locked in a house that would be her home for the next eight years. She was starved, beaten, treated as a slave, and forced to work for her deranged captor. But she never forgot who she was--and she never gave up hope of returning to the world. Original.
