Environmental Activism by Design This book by architects and educators Coleman Coker and Sarah Gamble challenges designers to actively engage the environmental crisis through their work, while articulating an optimistic, tangible means to pursue community good and environmental justice through design activism and engagement. The authors assert that in addition to greener buildings, cheaper housing, and technological fixes, we must rethink pedagogy and praxis so that every single architecture graduate can define equity and transform the profession.

OUT NOW: The Metabolism of Settlement Coexistences With the onset of the Anthropocene Era, concern for the metabolism of various kinds of settlement has risen appreciably. Of particular concern in the study of architecture and urban design are metabolic contributions of flows of stocks that go into the construction and operation of settlements of one kind or another. This book visualizes a methodological approach that allows urban settlement patterns to be re-written, as it were, into water, energy, and other material flows emanating from original sources in the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and so on, through various stages of transformation during settlement construction and operation, and then on to end-of-life activities. Authors: Peter G. Rowe, Claire Doussard and Carlos Arnaiz Publication date: Fall 2025 Format: Softcover Size: 9” × 11.5” Landscape 200 pages Publisher: ORO Editions ISBN: 978-1-961856-17-2 Typeset in Inter and Darkmode Mono Book design by @pablo.f.mandel and @circularstudio @cazarch @oro_editions #bookdesign #landscapearchitecture #architecturebooks #urbandesign

"Impossible and Hyperreal" is a book project by Carl Lostritto, with contributions by Viola Ago, Julie Kress and Hans Tursack. The book addresses how and why architects, artists and designers manipulate reality. Carl writes: "The book is written for the reader who wants to make and theorize at the same time. In that spirit, the guest contributors and I aim to provoke and demystify at the same time. We write from the perspective of practice—as creators who want to influence and enable others to create—but we offer something different than tutorials. Instead, we set the stage for discourse with a series of elements that have a slippery way of existing in new or varied forms of reality. Because these elements are intertwined with (and sometimes created wholly through) the representational media that convey them, the act of unpacking, explaining, and sharing these elements is itself a project. Our methods are exposed including (and especially) those that are strange, weird, messy, extravagant and obscene. We posit that representation is speculative, and that speculation is more than a matter of what to build, but how we see and affect the world." @lostritto @violaago @kress.julie @hanstursack Designed by @pablo.f.mandel and @circularstudio Publisher: Applied Research & Design, an imprint of ORO Editions Publication Date: April 2023 Format: Softcover 288 pages Size: 8″ × 10” ISBN: 978-1951541552 Typeset in TT Norms Pro, Frauen, and Ogg #bookdesign #architectureanddesign #reality @oro_editions
