In 1995, after hearing Madeleine Albright say on national television that she felt sacrificing 500,000 children to punish Saddam Hussein was “worth it,” Quaker pacifist Joseph Olejak became a political activist. As a form of civil disobedience, he refused to pay income tax, since his tax dollars would go to fund a war he opposed. This was the beginning of a twenty-year journey towards peace–initially by non-compliance with the military industrial complex. Sentenced to 26 weekends in the country jail for failure to pay income taxes, Olejak kept a journal and wrote about his experiences, as well as his growing awareness of peace, justice, and the U.S. prison system.

Auf dieser Karte bilden wir alle Skigebiete des Alpenraums mit einer Gesamtpistenlänge von mindestens 25 Kilometern ab.Grafisch wird die Ausbreitung der Skigebiete begrenzt durch die äußeren Lifte oder Pisten dargestellt.Wir definieren ein Skigebiet als Gesamtheit aller zusammenhängenden Pisten und Lifte, die man auf Skiern erreichen kann. Ist beispielsweise ein Bus nötig, um zu einem anderen Lift zu kommen, handelt es sich für uns um zwei Skigebiete. Daraus entstehen einige wenige Abweichungen zu öffentlichen Zählweisen, etwa im Fall von Sellaronda. Wenn verschiedene Skigebiete zu einer definierten Region, wie z.B. der Zugspitz Arena, gehören, vermerken wir diese in Klammern hinter den Namen der Gebiete.

A NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER <BR>A NEW YORK TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY: TOP TEN<BR><BR>THE POSTHUMOUS MASTERWORK FROM "ONE OF THE GREATEST AND MOST INFLUENTIAL MODERN WRITERS" (JAMES WOOD, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW) <BR><BR> Composed in the last years of Roberto Bolaño's life, 2666 was greeted across Europe and Latin America as his highest achievement, surpassing even his previous work in its strangeness, beauty, and scope. Its throng of unforgettable characters includes academics and convicts, an American sportswriter, an elusive German novelist, and a teenage student and her widowed, mentally unstable father. Their lives intersect in the urban sprawl of SantaTeresa-a fictional Juárez-on the U.S.-Mexico border, where hundreds of young factory workers, in the novel as in life, have disappeared.

A vast literary reckoning with disappearance, obsession and the violence threaded through modern history.Set in Santa Teresa on the Mexico US border, this literary crime novel about missing women unfolds across intersecting lives: European academics in pursuit of a reclusive writer, a journalist drawn into the city's unrest, and a community haunted by a growing list of unsolved murders.What begins as an intellectual quest gradually reveals a deeper and more disturbing pattern. The killings of girls and women recur with numbing regularity, their investigation fragmented and inconclusive. Around them, careers advance, rivalries flare and history presses forward. The search for meaning becomes inseparable from the search for the dead.Shifting between continents and decades, the novel resists easy answers. Its scope is immense, yet its power lies in accumulation: detail by detail, case by case, it exposes the quiet machinery that allows brutality to persist.

Alejandro de la Sota ruft in Spanien wahrscheinlich mehr leidenschaftliche Reaktionen hervor als jeder andere moderne spanische Architekt. Sein Werk ist Gegenstand von vielen Pilgerreisen, die Architekten und Studenten auf der Suche nach der einzigartigen Arbeitsweise des Meisters, nach einer Begegnung mit einer fast magischen Offenbarung unternehmen. Obwohl er in Spanien so überaus geschätzt, ist er im Ausland ziemlich unbekannt. Diese Ausgabe von 2G präsentiert eine Auswahl von Gebäuden und Projekten dieses vergessenen modernen Meisters, von seinen ersten Werken, die nach dem spanischen Bürgerkrieg gebaut wurden, wie das Dorf Esquivel, über seine Meisterwerke, wie die Sporthalle der Schule Maravillas und das Gebäude der Provinzregierung in Tarragona, bis hin zu seinen späteren, weniger bekannten Werken, wie das Postgebäude in León oder die nicht gebauten Häuser am Meer auf Mallorca. Introduction: Kersten Geers, Jelena Pancevac and Moisés Puente. Text: Alejandro de la Sota.

BAST have taken a proactive attitude to research in order to experiment with the diverse potentialities of each project. At each step of the design phase, they propose multiple different solutions. As a result, they do not follow a set formal method; instead, their projects go through an evolutionary process. BAST's architecture practice is located in Toulouse, France. The architects recall ideas of modern assemblage and montage: the structural unit is challenged by the superposition of logics, façade layers, colliding structures, sections. The overall logic derives from resemblances, things that look like something else, but are not exactly what we expect. These elements are mixed together. Controlling the resulting combination requires a very clear idea, because otherwise the building site can soon descend into chaos. The structural principle provides the logic, and the design sequence drives together these elements. Once the design principle has been defined, regardless of whether the window frame is here or there, the catalyst is already in place. The fragments can then be assembled with an eye to a promising future. Conversation with Jo Tailleau and Tiphaine Abenia. Photos by BAST.

Insights into an architectural practice that combines art and technology, building and new ideas on buildingBaukunst's architectural practice has always maintained a high level of abstraction. Projects begin as theoretical propositions and remain so, regardless of their realisation on site. Built or unbuilt, they all exist within some kind of Platonic space to which the architects keep returning. The selection of works featured in this issue is not an archive of their work, but rather a research atlas in which the montage of architectural drawings, site photographs, models, and digital images speaks of the latent ideas germinated and tested across their projects.

Bangkok Tokyo Architecture is an architectural studio founded by Wtanya Chanvitan and Takahiro Kume in 2017 between Tokyo and Bangkok. The studio is fascinated by open-ended structures and the thoughtful assembly of everyday elements, blurring the lines between the ordinary and the exceptional. Their practice explores ways to liberate architecture from the realm of experts and professionals, aiming to discover potential models of continuity. Bangkok Tokyo Architecture has gained internatinal recognition; the studio was Highly Commended at the Architectural Review Emerging Awards 2023, Winner of the 2024 Rice University Spotlight Award, and Finalist for the 2025 Lisbon Triennale Millennium bcp Debut Award. Wtanya and Takahiro contribute to architecture both as educators and practitioners across a range of cultural and institutional contexts.

After studying architecture at the Porto School of Architecture, spending a year in Delft, completing a scholarship in Ahmedabad, and teaching for several years in Bangkok, Nuno Melo Sousa returned to his hometown of Penafiel, a 40-minute drive from Porto. From there, working with local clients, he built a career based on small projects, mostly single-family homes, which gradually evolved into larger buildings. Working under these conditions allowed him to distance himself from the noise of architectural centres, while also fostering a close connection with his clients on meticulously crafted projects that, although incorporating certain features of contemporary Portuguese architecture, depart from local tradition. His work testifies to a highly personal, yet distinctly contemporary, approach.

The first monograph on the SOS studio founded by Olafur Eliasson and Sebastian Behmann presents some of their joint works as well as architectural works by Studio Olafur Eliasson. <BR><BR> Studio Other Spaces (SOS) connects architecture and art through interdisciplinary and experimental building projects and artworks for public space. They use each project as a vehicle and tool to dive into topics, into locations, and into the intricate relationships between people and spaces. Featured works include the façades of the Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre in Reykjavik (Iceland, in collaboration with Henning Larsen Architects) and the famous installation "Your rainbow panorama" at the Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Denmark.

The first monograph on b+ reflects their wide-ranging practice, including building projects in Berlin, Minneapolis, fashion shows and furniture pieces. <BR><BR> 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 award-winning Mexican architect analyses two centuries of evolution of the built element with the greatest impact on the planet: the house. Including 110 coloured illustrations. In this study, Fernanda Canales analyses the evolution of the house over the last two centuries through projects, exhibitions, and books. My House, Your City expands the meaning of "house" by dismantling three erroneous assumptions - the house as a place of rest separate from work, the house as an object of private property and the house as a sanctuary for the nuclear family - in favour of other formats of belonging, coexistence and use.

The first time Junya Ishigami made himself known in Europe, with his proposal for the Japan Pavilion for the Venice Architecture Biennale 2008, he was a young an almost unknown architect who had worked for several years with Kazuo Sejima and had not long with his studio junya.ishigami+associates, founded in 2004. In the Venice pavilion, Ishigami filled all the interior walls of the pavilion with delicate a somehow naïf drawings of gardens and decided to build several greenhouses with real gardens in the outdoor gardens of the building. The following year, he finished the Kanagawa Institute of Technology Workshop, and with only two works he was acclaimed as one of the most innovative proposals of the recent Japanese architecture. Forcing the limits of transparency and lightness in the beginning, his latest works explore in a conceptual way the relationships between the built matter and the nature, in works such as the Botanical Farm Garden in Tochigi, a multi confessional chapel in China or the house and restaurant for a chef in Japan, where the exploration of the tectonic merges with the telluric and the nature.

Ensamble Studio is a cross-functional team founded in 2000 and led by architects Antón García-Abril and Débora Mesa, both architects by the Madrid School of Architecture (ETSAM), with studios in Madrid and Boston. Balancing imagination and reality, art and science, their work innovates typologies, technologies and methodologies. Currently, through their startup WoHo, they are invested in increasing the quality of architecture while making it more affordable by integrating offsite technologies. Their new research and fabrication facility in Madrid, Ensamble Fábrica, has been built to support this endeavor. Antón and Débora are committed to sharing ideas and cultivating synergies between professional and academic worlds through teaching, lecturing and researching.
