The projects and texts featured in this second issue of the year can be read within the broader framework of contemporary theoretical debates that challenge the prevailing expansionist model of architectural production. Following critical positions formulated, among others, by Charlotte Malterre-Barthes, architecture here no longer appears as a discipline of growth, but rather as a practice of reorganizing what already exists. This shift represents not only a methodological change, but also a transformation of the discipline’s epistemological foundation itself, in which notions of novelty are gradually replaced by concepts of transformation, adaptation, and circulation.
