The nineteenth issue of the architectural magazine speech: explores the theme of regulations. This particularly technical and nomenclatural theme has, in fact, at first glance a decisive influence on architecture, largely predetermining both its visual embodiment and all of the main operational characteristics. This issue is focused on regulations in the broadest sense of the word - from the urban norms according to which new areas and cities are built, to energy efficiency standards and fire safety codes, which no architect can omit from their designs.Text in English and Russian.

The 20th issue of speech: magazine will be devoted to the theme of landscape. The topic of investigation will be the harmonious interaction between architecture and nature, both in rural areas and within the boundaries of modern megalopolises. What is a modern park and what structures can be integrated into landscapes? The projects represented in this issue show a wide variety of forms and techniques for creating man-made landscapes for the twenty-first century.Text in English and Russian.

The 21st issue of speech: studies the phenomenon of the community centre. What functions and what forms must community centres acquire today in order to continue to bring people and communities together and help them tackle socially important issues, and how do these change depending on the scale and geography of a settlement?Text in English and Russian.

The media space is one of the most essential architectures in today's society. There are many different kinds of media spaces, including media rooms of any type, exhibition spaces, and TV and communications studios, as well as the various media facades that make the boundary between physical and virtual reality increasingly artificial. How media technologies can enrich architecture and what architectural tasks they make it possible to achieve are two of the most important questions that are looked at in the twenty-second issue of speech:.Text in English and Russian.Also available in the series:speech: 21 community center ISBN 97838685984836speech: 20 landscape ISBN 9783868598476speech: 19 regulations ISBN 9783868598469speech: 18 regions ISBN 9783868598452speech: 17 contrast ISBN 9783868598445speech: 16 vernacular ISBN 9783868598438speech: 15 sport ISBN 9783868598421speech: 14 for kids ISBN 9783868598414speech: 13 subway ISBN 9783868598407

Norway is home to the world’s northernmost aquarium, impressively designed viewing points amid spectacular landscapes, and the Oslo Opera House, which has revitalised an entire district. As in other Nordic countries, architecture is highly valued, and a responsible approach to nature and its resources is evident throughout.This architectural guide showcases 270 buildings, primarily from the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. These buildings are located not only in the largest and most visited cities, such as Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen, and Trondheim, but also in the northern regions of Bodø, Tromsø, and Svalbard. There is also a special chapter devoted to the Norwegian Scenic Routes, which are currently the country’s most important infrastructure project.Norway is already consistently implementing environmental protection measures in construction, not only through innovative technologies, but also through the design of buildings and urban spaces. From pedestrian bridges to office complexes and residential buildings, Norwegian architects face a variety of challenges, but their work always focuses on the relationship between people and nature.
