In the meeting between the imaginary and real life, architecture comes into being. In this issue of the Architectural Magazine B, Australian architects, writers and artists discuss the thin and porous line between the imaginary and the real, expressing their visions of the Australian reality. The projects here present a selection of contemporary Australian architecture, from Darwin in the north to the large cities in the south, Melbourne and Sydney, from the wastelands in the west around Perth, to Queensland’s sunshine coast in the east. The projects have primarily been created by the younger generation of architects who, working from small firms for private clients, constitute niches in Australia’s tough and commercialized construction sector. It is important for architects to study how settlements in the new culture-landscapes are formed, how the architecture is defined in these spaces and how new connections can be created in a meeting between old architectural ideals and new surroundings.

A compendium of lectures from the international architecture conference in 2005, Architecture + Art looks at the fertile overlap between two competing (and complementary) disciplines. Published by the Alvar Aalto Academy, the essays explore the history of the border between art and architecture, from Aalto to Gordon Matta-Clark. What role did art play in the history of modern architecture? How did architecture influence art? What's the current state of the balance between the two fields? Illustrated with color photographs and black and white reproductions, with a foreward by Aalto Academy Professor Eeva-Llisa Pelkonen, the thought-provoking essays strive to illuminate the mystery of overlap, from Le Corbusier to Donald Judd. In a world where Frank Gehry claims architecture is art against Richard Serra's wishes, it's refreshing to learn there's more than one viewpoint at the table. The most recent publication from the Academy s forward-thinking conferences held every summer in Finland.

Seven artists with their respective roots in crafts, visual art and architecture were invited by the exhibitions conceptualizer and coordinator, weaver Gudrun Pagter, to explore the two themes of history and space, including space’s narratives and construction. The artists did not make up any particular group. Each one was invited to participate especially on the basis of their crea†ive practice. The two themes converge in the exhibition’s title Making the Architectonic Rounds- articulating a kind of circulating inspection or overhaul. The historical dimensins dwell there as sources of inspiration, and establish, within the context, a kind of sounding board for some of the artists’ works, while others have chosen to place their emphasis on the more comtemporary examination of spatial relations and spatial significance. This catalog presents a richly illustrated documentiation of the character of the exhibiting artists’ pieces and working procedures, both concretely and in a a general sense.
