An urban research on how Pyongyang, the capital of nORTH korea, was reconstructed from the Korean War based on the idea of socialist urbanism and how the socialist urban spaces will transform when it

"Le idee dell’architetto Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926), raccolte dai suoi discepoli e colleghi, ci aiutano a comprendere e apprezzare meglio le case, giardini e templi che eresse a Barcellona, conferendo

Unconscious City: conversations with Arets navigates and questions the future of the modern metropolis, and how largely invisible, unsconscious forces, increasingly lead by interconnected technologies- as artificial intelligence-shape and influence the world

Modern Architecture articulated itself in specific centers of propulsion, revision and critique during the 20th century. The case of Milan is exemplary:terragni anbd Razionalismo, the reconstruction (Ponti, Rogers, Moretti, Viganó, etc..)the Tendenza of Rossi, product design, up to the current research. MCM traces this history from several contributors´points of view.

Who gets to be where? The Arsenal of Exclusion & Inclusion examines some of the policies, practices, and physical artifacts that have been used by planners, policymakers, developers, real estate brokers, community activists, and other urban actors in the United States to draw, erase, or redraw the lines that divide. The Arsenal inventories these weapons of exclusion and inclusion, describes how they have been used, and speculates about how they might be deployed (or retired) for the sake of more open cities in which more people have access to more places. With contributions from over fifty architects, planners, geographers, historians, and journalists, The Arsenal offers a wide-ranging view of the forces that shape our cities. by Interboro (Tobias Armborst, Daniel DOca, Georgeen Theodore)

La comunidad científica asume hoy sin reparos que el tiempo y el espacio no son magnitudes independientes y absolutas como establecía el paradigma Newton-Kantiano, sino variables de una nueva entidad de cuatro dimensiones denominada "continuo espacio-temporal".Como quiera que siempre se ha entendido la arquitectura como un arte del espacio, asi como la musica lo ha sido del tiempo, es precisamente esa condicion esencial de la disciplina la que se ha visto mas profundamente alterada.La otra gran revolucion cientifica, y mas aun me atreveria a calificar de filosofica sobrevenida -pues tiene consecuencias profundas en una revision epistemologica radical que afecta incluso a la clasica condicion determinista de las llamadas "ciencias duras"- ha sido la incorporacion del concepto de "probabilidad" como materia esencial del paradigma cientifico contemporaneo en sustitucion del criterio de "certeza" que regia el pensamiento ilustrado del paradigma newtoniano.En este estado de cosas, las dos grandes teorias fisicas que se ocupan hoy de estos temas y representan, segun creemos muchos, la mayor revolucion del pensamiento humano acaecida en la historia, la Teoria de la Relatividad y la Mecanica Cuantica -y precisamente esta ultima, entendida ademas como madre de todas las revoluciones tecnologicas y sociales de los ultimos tiempos- deberian ser consideradas, aunque solo fuera en su condicion de indudable potencial heuristico conceptual, para la construccion de un pensamiento teorico-critico contemporaneo que permita un analisis mas riguroso de las expresiones artisticas de nuestro tiempo, y, en particular, de algunas arquitecturas relativamente recientes.Este seminario de investigacion trata de aproximarse en lo posible a estos grandes temas desde la disciplina cientifica mas proxima, la Geometria, que a partir de ahora denominaremos siempre en plural, GEOMETRIAS -euclidianas y no-euclidianas, planas, hiperbolicas, esfericas, elipticas, proyectistas, n-dimensionales, "topologicas", etc.- y, por otro lado, y utilizando ahora esa inseparable pareja conceptual que establecen tanto E.L. Boullee como Louis Kahn entre el Orden y la Arquitectura, revisar los fundamentales conceptos de ORDEN y SIMETRIA desde esta nueva perspectiva.

Cada vez son más los interioristas que se inspiran en la filosofía del diseño nórdico basada en muebles y objetos atractivos, prácticos, asequibles y funcionales. Esta práctica guía muestra cómo dec

Esta obra se centra en las relaciones arquitectónicas y urbanas entre la ciudad de Sevilla y sus sedes universitarias históricas

Water Index highlights critical design projects from around the world that radically engage the fragile issues of drought, flooding, and contamination, revealing opportunistic, adaptive design strategies in response to the mounting global crisis.

Architects build in and for a system that is not only pathological, but toxic. It is ruining the only planet we have, and we are clearly at the end of what is still possible within this ecology.The architecture presented in this book is a form of resistance one which actively engages in the societies and territories it is inscribed in and which presents an antidote to the accelerating banalization of our everyday environments. The search for singularity is not a search for formal distinction or a fetishism of the architectural object, but instead the desire to inscribe oneself into a unique territory and moment in time.

Landscape Tunings maintains that landscape is more than ecology and technical performance; it is also an environment of paramount importance to ones dispositions and wellbeingan emotional space of social relevance, tuned with and for its communities. In this book, OFICINAA examines the design potentials of the Danube River as a civic anchor, a bioclimatic medium, and a space for collective imagination in the city of Ingolstadt, Germany.

Colliding modern architecture, theatrically informed photography, and surreal poetry and prose.

SOUPERgreen!--Souped Up Green Architecture features projects and essays that offer a critique of the prevailing approach to "green" architecture by interrogating the architectural discipline's fairly narrow expectations for "environmental performance," which are predominantly evaluated through scientific calculation and quantifiable measurement. In contrast, SOUPERgreen! re-examines the very nature of the environment as a human construct rather than a given condition--as a manifestation of philosophy's long-recognized epistemological gap between reality and its appearance. The book therefore addresses the manner in which the constructed nature of the environment both problematizes the assumption of humanity's ability to objectively calculate and measure it, and also leads to habits and behaviors that are detrimental to the environment. It also argues that aesthetic "performances" are necessary to reveal new forms of environmental engagement, and that architecture's unique aesthetic and spatial expertise might therefore be leveraged for valuable types of environmental performances that profoundly alter, enhance, and transform the public's understanding of and actions toward the environment.

The New Localism provides a roadmap for change that starts in the communities where most people live and work.In their new book, The New Localism, urban experts Bruce Katz and Jeremy Nowak reveal where the real power to create change lies and how it can be used to address our most serious social, economic, and environmental challenges.Power is shifting in the world: downward from national governments and states to cities and metropolitan communities; horizontally from the public sector to networks of public, private and civic actors; and globally along circuits of capital, trade, and innovation.This new locus of powerthis new localismis emerging by necessity to solve the grand challenges characteristic of modern societies: economic competitiveness, social inclusion and opportunity; a renewed public life; the challenge of diversity; and the imperative of environmental sustainability. Where rising populism on the right and the left exploits the grievances of those left behind in the global economy, new localism has developed as a mechanism to address them head on.New localism is not a replacement for the vital roles federal governments play; it is the ideal complement to an effective federal government, and, currently, an urgently needed remedy for national dysfunction.In The New Localism, Katz and Nowak tell the stories of the cities that are on the vanguard of problem solving. Pittsburgh is catalyzing inclusive growth by inventing and deploying new industries and technologies. Indianapolis is governing its city and metropolis through a network of public, private and civic leaders. Copenhagen is using publicly owned assets like their waterfront to spur large scale redevelopment and finance infrastructure from land sales.Out of these stories emerge new norms of growth, governance, and finance and a path toward a more prosperous, sustainable, and inclusive society. Katz and Nowak imagine a world in which urban institutions finance the future through smart investments in innovation, infrastructure and children and urban intermediaries take solutions created in one city and adapt and tailor them to other cities with speed and precision.

An unique guiding model that seeks to adress the relationship between the economic meldown and the built environment in Iceland using ecological approaches.After a period of extraordinary economic growth at the turn of the twenty-first century, the economy of Iceland collapsed into the deepest and most rapid peacetime fiscal crisis ever recorded. Seeing the development of the capital area through the lens of scarcity, triggered new urban and regional questions and ecological approaches to design. This book considers both the crash and its aftermath as an opportunity to distil an intense snapshot of how ecological and human systems are interrelated, and how different ways of wiring those systems might lead to better and more resilient solutions. This publication derives from a case study on the built environment in the Reykjavik capital area in the light of the financial meltdown in October 2008. It is the work of the participants in the case study and a number of invited contributors from different fields; researchers, artists and activists that offer different perspectives on the case. The case study is a part of a larger European project, Scarcity and Creativity in the built Environment (SCIBE), funded by HERA (Humanities in the European Research Area). The work presented suggests a new spirit of development applicable to various cultures and climates beyond Iceland.
