    AR Reads: The Invisible Women

    How female architects were erased from history: published in AR March 2017, The Invisible Women by Eva Álvarez and Carlos Gómez traces how architectural discourse and history has favoured the sole (male) starchitect, erasing collaborative realities and the work of women as it does so.

    AR Reads: Housing the dead

    Published in AR November 2016, Housing the dead, by Ken Warpole is about the environmental, economic and cultural factors that have shaped funerary architecture throughout the ages. Following on from the publication of our April 2021 issue on the underground, this piece burrows into the underground as not something that is hollow and empty – infinitely filled and extracted from, but a site full of stories, meaning and imaginaries. In the AR underground issue, Phineas Harper explore alternative funerary practices at Soulton Long Barrow in Shropshire, accompanied with poetry by Merlin Fulcher. The following piece looks at how we make space for the dead and the architectural legacy of the grave.

    AR Reads: A losing game

    Harnessing failure: on this Earth Day, we have chosen to revisit this essay Keller Easterling wrote for our Failure issue, published in February 2019, about the catastrophic failures of our contemporary world, from climate crisis to financial crashes to the apparent inability of global infrastructures of space to adequately accommodate refugees. In the face of such failure at such scale, Easterling sets forth a question of new possible ecologies to make use of a broken system.
