Research and publishing in architecture transform ideas into culture, uncertainties into fields of experimentation, the observable into the thinkable and the invisible into a reality. New Moon is an editorial project that aims to open up collective conversations. It engages in technical, theoretical and academic explorations that promote a research-practice approach and critical thinking. It was founded in 2023 by Barrault Pressacco.

Nature and culture of insulation. Building with hemcrete.
Wallness, through technical and cultural considerations, overturns the act of building and opens up a conversation. Insulation is now an integral part of the repertoire of architectural elements, while thermal engineering reveals unsuspected fields of construction. Wallness expands the role of the wall, summoning up all its components and defining a new rationality.
