This illustrated catalogue presents the work of @Lab, a research laboratory based in Halifax, Canada. This group has created crafted textiles transformed with electronics, in an intellectually chanllenging proposition to make spaces respond to human inhabitation.

Résumé:
This book focuses on the ephemeral architecture built for festivals and shows how these constructions played a role in the development of Western architectural and urban theory. Festival architecture has allowed architects to experiment with new ideas, new forms and new spatial arrangements. The book is arranged in historical periods from Antiquity to the modern era. The analyses of specific festivals are set in relation to contemporary ideas and theories in architecture and urban design and essays focus on either architecture or urban design. The wealth of illustrations depict many unusual and rarely seen images from European festival tradition. The contributors are well-known architectural historians and art historians.

Résumé:
The exhibition Resurgence of Organicism originated as a graduate seminar taught by Sarah Bonnemaison at Dalhousie University’s School of Architecture. In Fall 2018, graduate architecture students investigated the history and theory of organicism—through a close reading of Caroline van Eck’s seminal book on the topic— to understand its architectural manifestations over the course of centuries, and created an exhibition and accompanying catalogue.
