Summary:
Utopia Forever is a collection of current projects and concepts from architecture, city planning, urbanism, and art that point beyond the restrictions of the factual to unleash the potential of creative visions. In contrast to the largely ideal-theoretic approaches of the past, today s utopias take the necessity for societal changes into account. The projects in this book explore how current challenges for architecture, mobility, and energy as well as the logistics of food consumption and waste removal can be met. Whether created by established architects and artists or new talents, the projects in Utopia Forever are radically shaping our notions of life in the future.

Summary:
Alors que la crise économique conduit parfois à renoncer à des projets grandioses faits pour durer, une nouvelle vague de bâtiments et de créations architecturales temporaires déferle sur le monde, que ce soit pour loger de toute urgence des refugiés ou accueillir des spectacles. Autre secteur: celui des expositions et des foires, véritable mine de projets fascinants au service de la mode, de la joaillerie ou du design, mais qui apparaissent et disparaissent en quelques jours. Les défilés de mode ou les expositions d’art bénéficient aussi de cette nouvelle tendance dynamique qui intéresse les plus grands noms de l’architecture contemporaine - comme Zaha Hadid ou Rem Koolhaas -, mais aussi de très nombreux architectes, à découvrir dans cet ouvrage.

Summary:
As building materials and technologies advance, architects are creating new kinds of urban environments. Among the innovations showcased in this book that are contributing to new architectural forms are parametric modeling enabled by computer-aided technology, environmentally friendly building skins, and HOPSCAs - a hybrid building type - that can house hotels, offices, parking, shopping, a convention center, and apartments under one roof. The dream buildings in this book reflect a changing architectural and cultural environment, and the processes that turn these concepts from vision to reality will open a new chapter in architectural history.

Summary:
PARKitectOUR, is a book which documents the three student workshops held in Italy and Switzerland by the University Of Applied Sciences of Bern. The task was to show Parkour and architecture within urban projects. Parkour is a new sport that was created in the suburbs of Paris. A ‘Traceur’ (the runner) moves smoothly, acrobatically and quickly through impenetrable, typically urban terrain. The Traceurs motion creates the "urban free flow." This urban free flow is what the students had to trace in their designs. This was completed along with urban planning tasks in the surroundings of a Luigi Nervi building in Turin. The workshop was organized in cooperation with the Politecnico di Torino. The other two workshops are part of the freshman curriculum at the university where Guy Lafranchi is the dean of studies of the architecture department.
