Summary:
Taiwan has the highest density of convenient stores in the world, many of which belong to the American chain 7-Eleven. The phenomenon of these stores were taken as the point of departure for a architectural workshop that developed a series of projects that question utopia, embrace globalisation and explore a mode of service that is closely linked to the life of a city’s residents and their community. A collection of works, projects and writings, produced over the course of the one-week workshop, is explored here.

Magnago Lampugani’s slender Fabrikstrasse 12 construction gleams in the rays of sunlight without any glare. The white Carrara marble, blue awnings and delicate window parapets radiate lightness and joie de vivre – a style which also infuses the Dodici – the restaurant included in the project, whose colour scheme, furnishings and wall’s hanging with old photographs, greet its guests. The architect’s refined design for the Novartis Campus which also includes office spaces is thoroughly examined here. Colour photographs are presented alongside detailed plans, elevations, and essays written by specialists on specific aspects of the building, including signage, building services and work places.

Mexico is full of great public spaces, especially the plazas that form the heart of most cities. But modern Mexico has also fallen in love with the shopping mall. This book examines the work of Grupo Arquitech, a Mexican architectural firm with a unique vision of the shopping mall as a new public space. A series of large-scale projects undertaken since the early nineties give shape to a new way of understanding this typology as well as to the task of resolving the complex issues of designing such multi-faceted spaces. Features an engaging essay on the firm’s projects, and another on the history of shopping centers from the nineteenth century to the present.

Summary:
The Quarter at the “European Embankment” was an invited competition for the development of one of the most important development areas in central St. Petersburg, with the result being decided in March 2009. The 9.9 Hectare land, centrally located in the „Naberezhnaya Ewropy“ - „Europaufer“ industrial wasteland, lies on the small arm of the Neva River. Opposite the hermitage, stock exchange and directly downstream from the Peter-and-Paul fortress, the historical centre of the former Zarenstadt, the planned development is situated in a very prominent neighbourhood amongst almost all of the city’s landmarks. The renewal of the European-oriented city development and the adoption of typically local characteristics in the brief, ensured acceptance by the St Petersburg residents who recently demonstrated their concern for the city’s history by protesting plans for a high-rise in the world heritage area.
