Summary:
Investigating the current groundswell of experiments and creative work that utilises design as a method to explore and manipulate actual biological material, Neoplasmatic Design presents the impact of emerging and progressive biological advances upon architectural and design practice. The rapid development of innovative design approaches in the realms of biology, microbiology, biotechnology, medicine and surgery has immense significance for architecture, being as important for their cultural and aesthetic impact as for their technical implications. Featured architects include Peter Cook, Tobias Klein, Kol/Mac, Make, R(n), Neil Spiller and VenhoevenCS. Longer contributions from medical practitioners, architects and artists: Rachel Armstrong, Marcos Cruz, Anthony Dunne, Nicola Haines, Steve Pike, Yukihiko Sugawara, and Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr/SymbioticA. Features international research projects undertaken at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, the Royal College of Art in London, the University of Western Australia and the Nagaoka Institute of Design in Japan.

Summary:
Ce troisième titre de la série présente une centaine de bâtiments du début du XXIe siècle. Certains sont l’œuvre d’architectes célèbres comme Renzo Piano, Jean Nouvel, Foster + Partners, l’OMA, Herzog & de Meuron, Frank Gehry, d’autres ont des auteurs plus récemment apparus sur la scène internationale, tels Jamie Fobert et Sou Fujimoto. Les projets sont abordés à partir des stratégies de plan mises en œuvre par leur concepteur : plans centrés, plans linéaires, maisons en bandes, plans superposés, plans orthogonaux avec cour, plans décentrés avec cour, intégrations urbaines et, enfin, greffes et extensions. Ces typologies, issues le plus souvent d’une longue tradition architecturale, se trouvent aujourd’hui réinterprétées pour donner naissance à des projets véritablement contemporains. Pour chacun des bâtiments, le parti, le fonctionnement et les principaux procédés architecturaux sont décrits. Les plans de niveau, les élévations et les coupes ont été redessinés spécialement pour ce livre à partir des sources les plus à jour. La qualité et la multitude de ces dessins techniques – tous repris dans le CD joint – permettent une compréhension détaillée de l’ensemble des réalisations.

Summary:
Young architects practicing today are working with diversified tools as a result of technological advances in building methodologies, expanded communication networks, and cross-fertilization from other disciplines and industries. Competition entrants were asked to consider whether this increased the potential for architectural ideas to resonate with issues and concerns outside of their discipline. The competition winners—Gage/Clemenceau Architects, PellOverton Architecture R + D, Easton + Combs, Xu Tiantian, Project Open, and RVTR—each incorporated variations of the "resonance" to frame their portfolios and demonstrate the necessity for architecture to look outside its disciplinary boundaries for solutions to the global challenges facing the world today.

Summary:
This work presents numerous buildings of architectural significance against the background of general developments in architecture with reference to the works of over 200 architects. Although this book covers the whole of Finland in geographical terms, the main focus is on the Helsinki Metropolitan Region where construction was more active. Alongside public building activities, such as administrative buildings, churches, hospitals, traffic terminals, and sports, cultural and educational facilities, there are numerous examples of architecture for business and industry. Housing development is discussed from whole suburbs and sections of cities to individual apartment buildings and summer villas. Most of the colour photographs of this illustrated book belong to the photographer Simo Rista's significant collection of transparencies, which the Museum of Finnish Architecture acquired in 2005.
