Blueprint for a Hack
Over five days, some 60 residents of a northern village teamed with designers from southern Quebec to conceive and build an outdoor community pavilion that activates a central recreational area. “Blueprint for a Hack” aims to reimagine community spaces. Faced with extreme housing shortages, physical isolation, and a challenging climate, outdoor public spaces in northern communities remain largely undesigned and underused. These ‘in-between’ spaces are strewn with stuff. Most housing and civic buildings in the communities emerge from and stand like physical markers of Euro-Canadian values. The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada has begun a discourse on design in northern Canadian...
Domestic Space in France and Belgium
Domestic Space in France and Belgium offers a new addition to the growing body of work in Interior Studies. Focused on late 19th and early 20th-century France and Belgium, it addresses an overlooked area of modernity: the domestic sphere and its conception and representation in art, literature and material culture. Scholars from the US, UK, France, Italy, Canada and Belgium offer fresh and exciting interpretations of artworks, texts and modern homes. Comparative and interdisciplinary, it shows through a series of case-studies in literature, art and architecture, how modernity was expressed through domestic life at the turn of the century in France and Belgium.
Blueprint for a Hack
Over five days, some 60 residents of a northern village teamed with designers from southern Quebec to conceive and build an outdoor community pavilion that activates a central recreational area. "Blueprint for a Hack" aims to reimagine community spaces. Faced with extreme housing shortages, physical isolation, and a challenging climate, outdoor public spaces in northern communities remain largely undesigned and underused. These 'in-between' spaces are strewn with stuff. Most housing and civic buildings in the communities emerge from and stand like physical markers of Euro-Canadian values. The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada has begun a discourse on design in northern Canadian communities, but discussions continue to dwell on housing and civic buildings. A strong need exists to open conversations about design and the public realm in northern villages, which this project tries to address, creating a unique experience in which northern and southern groups could apply a "hacking mindset" to reimagine community spaces.

Ostrov pokrytců
Jeden z nejaktuálnějších a sociálně nejvýznamnějších románů velkého anglického kritického realisty (1867-1933), jehož dílo cenil A.M. Gorkij jako "odraz typických procesů, jež se tehdy odehrávaly ve společenském životě Anglie": krise viktoriánské společnosti, rozklad a úpadek buržoasní kultury v epoše imperialismu, převaha "majetnického pudu" a pokrytectví. Hlavní hrdina románu je Richard Shelton, typický představitel anglické privilegované společnosti, který je zasnouben s dívkou ze zámožné aristokratické rodiny, a celý děj se rozvíjí v průběhu několika měsíců jejich zásnub. Shelton náhodou pozná svět vyděděných a utlačených...
