AV Proyectos 122 deals with material scarcity, a topic on the agenda of several academic publications analyzed by Luis Fernández-Galiano, and illustrated here in a journey through seven projects in the Global South that stand out for their creativity in contexts with limited resources. In relation to this concern, the magazine includes an interview with Fernanda Canales, in which she talks about how this challenge has influenced the architectural designs of her recent projects on the Mexican border. The issue also features the competition for the extension of the Gothenburg Museum of Art, publishing the winning proposal of Barozzi Veiga along with the shortlisted ones. The ‘process’ chapter is dedicated to the refurbishment of Las Atarazanas in Seville, by Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra. The cultural section opens with the latest intervention of the Korean artist Kimsooja, who has covered the Rotunda of the Bourse de Commerce in Paris with mirrors, and closes with an image extracted from Megalopolis, Francis Ford Coppola’s new film.
