The Archives of New Traditional Architecture (ANTA) is dedicated to traditional architecture and urbanism, the journal advocates for beauty, moderation, and common sense in building design amid the challenges posed by our deteriorating built and natural environments. The fifth issue continues ANTA's mission by presenting alternative arguments against prevailing attitudes that prioritize idiosyncratic design over tradition. The publication serves as a wake-up call to the architectural profession and a reminder to those involved in building planning, development, and legislation that a civic vision for the built environment exists. The showcased projects range from masterplans for new towns and neighborhoods to urban interventions, academic campus buildings, reconstructions of urban edifices, and new buildings housing cultural institutions. Essays cover topics such as architectural precedent, the impact of sympathetic reconstruction on urban spaces, and reflections on the manifesto for urban development in Berlin-Brandenburg. The issue also includes historical perspectives, conversations with industry professionals, critiques, and insights from voices of the past. ANTA remains a crucial instrument in promoting understanding of classical and traditional architecture while showcasing exemplary new work.

Over the last 85 years, the Institute of Design's pioneering approach has brought about three distinct design eras--experimentation, systems design, and human-centered design--and each of these eras build on the strengths of previous ones. The history of ID, then, is synonymous with the history of design. The larger impact of our fourth and current era is yet to be determined, but this book acts as a blueprint for where design might go next.Design is a catalyst. We cannot speculate, create, and implement on our own. For too long, designers have lived with the misguided belief that only we can do what we do -- the false idea that, somehow, designers are unique. In this current phase, ID is powering a new generation of design leaders willing to release the hubris and openly embrace collaboration. In the spirit of collaboration and dialogue, this book assembles six conversations with ID faculty about the issues facing contemporary design and how ID is thinking through them as a community.

How can design be used to challenge the status quo, to interrupt the jargon, to disrupt and redirect ecological and socio-economic flows? LA+ Journal's fourth international design ideas competition invited designers to take an established place and design something to productively interrupt both its cultural and spatial context. What does this mean? It means injecting something different into a given context to effect new meanings and new functions. It means questioning what design does, who it's designed for, what it looks like, and what it means. Issue #17 brings you the results of the LA+ INTERRUPTION design competition. As well as showcasing the award-winning designs and a comprehensive Salon des Refusés, LA+ INTERRUPTION features interviews with jurors Fiona Raby, Martin Rein-Cano, Mark Raggatt, Rania Ghosn, and Jason Zhisen Ho, and an essay by Katya Crawford, coauthor of the The Design Competition in Landscape Architecture(forthcoming).

The Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers is an annual competition, series of lectures, exhibition, and publication organized by The Architectural League of New York. For more than thirty years, the League Prize has recognized outstanding and provocative work by up-and-coming North American architects and designers. The 2018 competition theme, Objective, suggested that the topic "implies an action" and that "how we act, what our actions achieve, and how we argue for a design speak to our values as a discipline and as a society." The winners' work exemplifies the diverse ways young architects and designers are pursuing multiple "objectives," from projects that insightfully address social, economic, and political agendas to material and structural experimentation that inspires innovative design at every scale. Young Architects 20: Objective presents the work of the six winners of the 2018 Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers competition.

Kanner Architects have created their own approach to designing Modernist buildings and interiors that relate to their environments and exhibit distinct personalities. The firm works internationally, applying the optimism and adventurousness of its Southern California roots to the conditions indigenous to each site. Stephen H. Kanner, president and director of design, guides his staff in a fusion of structure, volume, material and color that results in buildings that are light, both in sense of weight and in their ability to find and exploit natural light. In this survey of 11 projects, Kanner Architects demonstrate the harmony of proportion and easy flow of space that marks the firm's aesthetic. Stephen Kanner speaks with a distinctive language, solving problems with an approach always mindful of context.
