What if home wasn’t just a place—but a dynamic space that adapts to our evolving lives? In an era shaped by pandemics, shifting social structures, and new ways of living, the concept of family and shared spaces is being redefined. No longer limited to the nuclear household, “family” now extends to co-living communities, workspaces, and resilient support networks. ?? Intimate Spaces, by mladen jadric, explores adaptive living spaces that respond to contemporary challenges—where privacy and community coexist in balance. Through three architectural projects, this book examines: ?? How design can create flexible, resilient homes for changing social dynamics ?? The interplay between private and shared spaces in modern living ?? Architecture’s role in enhancing well-being and fostering support networks ?? Real-world case studies from Texas to Austria, showcasing diverse rhythms of life More than a book, Intimate Spaces is an invitation to rethink the way we live—challenging us to design homes that evolve with us, rather than confine us. Essential reading for architects, urbanists, and policymakers shaping the future of living spaces. ?? Published by Actar Publishers ??

?? What if architecture wasn’t just a cultural artifact—but an extension of the Earth itself? For centuries, we’ve shaped the land to fit our needs, often separating nature from the built environment. But what if we saw buildings as iterations of nature rather than artificial objects? ?? Geospaces, by Alper Derinbogaz, rethinks architecture through the lens of evolution, geology, and ecology—arguing for a hybrid approach to making that bridges past, present, and future. Through stunning visuals and critical essays, this book explores: ?? The deep connections between topography, genetics, and construction ?? The crisis of disconnection caused by modernity’s break from the vernacular ?? How new fabrication technologies can create architecture in tune with the planet ?? The author’s own projects as experiments in empathetic design with Earth More than a study of form, Geospaces is a manifesto for an architecture that emerges from nature, rather than imposing upon it. A must-read for architects, designers, and thinkers shaping the future of our habitats. ?? Published by Actar Publishers ??

How do we learn, and where should learning take place in a world shaped by ongoing disruptions? This question is at the heart of What About Learning?, a studio led by Deborah Saunt (DSDHA) at Yale School of Architecture. Set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, this book explores how architectural education evolved, touching on disembodied learning, civic participation, and the role of the built environment in shaping knowledge exchange. Through collective analysis of YSoA’s shifting physical and virtual conditions, along with research into alternative learning models like The University of the Underground and the The London School of Architecture, students questioned traditional pedagogies and reimagined spatial possibilities for learning. Their projects—shaped by lockdown experiences—proposed new ways of engaging with personal and communal learning spaces. ?? This book also includes insights from a cross-disciplinary symposium featuring voices from activism, planning, and pedagogy, fostering deeper conversations on the future of education and the built environment. Authors ?? Deborah Saunt with Jane Wong and Timothy Newton Editors ?? David Grant, Saba Salekfard, and Nina Rappaport Contributors ??
