Summary:
The iF communication design award has long been regarded as a barometer of current trends in communication design - this year, it will be conferred for the seventh time. There is virtually no other industry as dynamic as that of communication design. The task of continuously facilitating access to information, organizing content, and using visual attractions to guide the user through the complexities of everyday life is not always a simple one. Only especially good communication media are capable of fulfilling these expectations and offering assistance. With the help of its jury of international experts, the iF communication design award 2010 once again honors commercials, publications, campaigns, corporate reports, websites, and other communication media which are especially outstanding in their designs. The iF communication design award yearbook 2010 offers an appraisal and appreciation of the winners of the iF communication design award 2010 as well as exciting insights into the world of communication design.

Summary:
In the wake of recent failures in America's urban infrastructure, an emerging group of activist designers are calling on architects to rethink their relationship to the city. For them, the future of the American city lies not in modernism's large-scale master plans or new urbanism's nostalgic community planning. Instead, they favor working with the realities of urban space, finding hidden opportunities in what already exists in our cities; they eschew monolithic, top-down approaches. Fast-Forward Urbanism presents a mixture of essays, opinions, and design projects by well-known architects and theorists including Stan Allen, Will Alsop, Lars Lerup, and Keller Easterling. Equal parts theory and practice, their ideas lay the groundwork for the next American metropolis.

In the book, Boris Brorman Jensen and Jens Thomas Arnfred comment on the firm’s latest proposals, first prizes in international competitions and projects under construction, including the unique ”8 House” or BIG House with both residential and commercial units, which is currently being completed in Ørestad. The book is illustrated with drawings and construction site photographs. The main emphasis of the book is on the studio lab where the ideas are developed, the models are constructed, and geometrically sophisticated drawings see the light of the day.
