In the spirit of this restful, quiet time, this issue has a bit of a focus on such tasks. This, today, comes well in line with the trend to a sustainable wardrobe, and making your own takes it to unknown heights. Ultimately it is a very satisfying task to create something by ones own effort and to be able to wear or work with this creation. In this issue we share some inspiring stories about handicrafts of old that are not quite as dormant as one may have thought and these great authors share inspiring stories that may coerce you too to take up a craft, if you are not doing so already.

For a foster child, navigating the often tumultuous waters of an ever-changing living situation can be both confusing and disheartening. In such challenging circumstances, a "Life Book" becomes an invaluable source of guidance, security, and a beacon of hope. A Life Book is more than just a collection of pages; it's a personalized, tangible lifeline for foster kids, offering them a sense of continuity, belonging, and self-worth. Here's why having a Life Book is essential for a foster child: 1. Providing Identity and Stability: Foster kids often face a series of disruptions, moving from one home to another, with changing caregivers, schools, and communities. A Life Book offers them a constant, a place to store their memories, achievements, and essential documents. It serves as a mirror reflecting their identity, connecting the dots of their life story, and reminding them of who they are and where they come from. 2. Preserving Memories: A Life Book is a treasured archive of memories, capturing the milestones, experiences, and relationships that shape a child's life. It includes photographs, mementos, and written records of their journey, helping them hold onto the positive aspects of their past, no matter how turbulent it may have been. 3. Building Self-Esteem: The process of creating and maintaining a Life Book empowers foster children to take ownership of their narratives. It encourages them to recognize their strengths, interests, and accomplishments, fostering a sense of pride and self-worth. This newfound confidence can be a springboard for future success. 4. Connecting with Roots: For many foster children, the absence of a stable family and community can leave them feeling adrift. A Life Book can help them establish and maintain connections with their biological family, culture, and heritage, ensuring they never lose sight of their roots. 5. Fostering Emotional Expression: Life Books provide a safe space for foster kids to express their thoughts, feelings, and questions. They can document their fears, dreams, and aspirations, which can be instrumental in developing emotional resilience. In summary, a Life Book is not just a book; it's a lifeline for foster kids, offering them a sense of guidance, security, and belonging. It provides them with the tools to preserve their identity, memories, and achievements while helping them navigate the challenges they face. By giving foster children the opportunity to tell their own stories, a Life Book can empower them to shape their future with strength, resilience, and a renewed sense of self.

Identity is the distinguishing sense of self, providing continuity of personality or character over time. It is an equation, the sum of values or beliefs of an individual, acquired through a lifetime of experiences. The good behaviors, habits and skills add to this equation. Bad behaviors, habits and skills detract from it. What’s left over, is the essence of you.

This piece symbolizes stability and continuity, bringing a harmonious energy into any space it occupies.

During the 1980s and 1990s, German-Swiss architecture gained worldwide acclaim on account of its constructional and aesthetic coherence. Its precision, rigour and sobriety were however only outer manifestations of a deeper ethical orientation, reacting against formal arbitrariness and postmodern relativism. Swiss architects resorted to the discipline of concepts and formal reductionism in order to recover a sense of stability, normality and cultural continuity. In Forms of Practice, Irina Davidovici provides an in-depth analysis of their work during the last decades of the twentieth century, discussing its cultural and theoretical conditions as facets of one artistic and cultural phenomenon. Richly detailed case studies and conceptual frameworks are brought up to reveal, behind the seductive appearance of Swiss architecture, the implicit conflicts between shared values and individual expression, artistic integrity and economic interest.
