Volume VII of Ark Journal explores the interaction of architecture, design and art over time, and looks at history as a constant source of inspiration for creating new ideas. This issue presents detailed examinations of architecture from some of the greatest masters, including an early building by Frank O. Gehry and a modest Marcel Breuer house that is not only a home but, for the most recent owners, also a long-standing lesson in how to live well. The Belgian architect Glenn Sestig discreetly transforms a radical concrete masterpiece by Ivan Van Mossevelde, while collector and designer Frederick Hooft simply leaves an avant-garde 1960s villa largely as he found it. A minimalist Scandinavian house in an untamed coastal landscape and a solitary Nordic villa enveloped by nature; the heritage of craftmanship, especially Latin American practitioners using materials from the past; a visit at Mexico City-based Esrawe Studio and online platform Unno Gallery; a special insert is dedicated to designer and artist Marcin Rusak and his reworking of history, nature and craftmanship – this issue looks at the dialogue between the present and the past. Comes with different Covers.
