In Issue 75 Menna Agha resists the disciplinary protocols of maintenance by inviting us into the knowledge-making practice of cleaning her grandmother’s Nubian courtyard; Farzin Lotfi-Jam extends the tragedy of the present moment by interrogating the imperial systems used to wage war against Iran in realtime; Amelyn Ng questions who exactly Ring doorbells are protecting and how the technology deputizes residential space into an ever-expanding field of surveillance; and Cielo Saucedo takes us hiking through Kumeyaay land, reorienting our vision to the diffuse and bloody perimeters of the border wall.

Pre-order | States of Emergency: A Spatial History of the French Colonial Continuum
Léopold Lambert, translated by Lara Vergnaud
This book navigates the states of emergencies linking three distinct French colonial space-times: the Algerian Revolution (1954–1962), the Kanak Insurrection (1984–1988), and France’s banlieues uprisings (2005–2020). Attending to the most recent state of emergency imposed in 2015, it traces the mechanics of this counterrevolutionary legal framework across multiple geographies in order to draw out and fortify key anticolonial solidarities across space and time. In so doing, this book makes the colonial continuum legible: one traversed by the many military actors, agents, immigrants, and revolutionaries working both for and against the shared project of liberation.
Pre-order | Material Variance
Edited by Lola Ben-Alon
Convening material researchers, building scientists, architects, and artists, this book aims to collectively expand architecture and design’s material lexicon and unsettle its disciplinary boundaries. It interrogates the assumptions of refinement, standardization, and technocratic control to advance alternative fabrication practices, alchemical processes, and methods for working with indeterminate matter. From poetic field recordings to scientific analyses, the book opens up a space for thinking across theory and practice, across geological particles and living species, and across various scales, forms, and practices.
Read excerpts of V. Mitch McEwen’s Erasure by Design (CBAC, 2026) and Isabelle Kirkham-Lewitt’s Paths to Prison (CBAC, 2020) online, via the KoozArch library.
Space Between #6: A KoozArch Podcast
CBAC Director Isabelle Kirkham-Lewitt joins AJ Artemel and Cynthia Davidson in discussing the potential for various publication strategies, digital and print, to both challenge and advance architectural discourse across the field and its attendant institutions.
Our recent title is a winner of AIGA Design’s 50 Books | 50 Covers awards of 2025.

“The best book I’ve read in the past year is Deserts Are Not Empty, edited by Samia Henni. It’s an incredible collection of essays, conversations and poems that challenge the portrayal of deserts as barren, lifeless voids. The book explores the geopolitical implications of this narrative, revealing how colonial and imperial powers have weaponised the notion of emptiness to justify exploitation and control.”

Reframing the Stakes of Student Publications” is an open source record and archive of a workshop our office held at the end of July 2022 dedicated to reconsidering the limits and possibilities attendant to printed work. Now available for reading and reference, Why Publish? offers students the space to join us in reconsidering publishing as a collective project with collective consequences.
