Summary:
In the age of the Anthropocene, in which humanity acts on cycles and systems with all its power and capital, architecture and energy together mean more than operational or embodied energy, active and passive solutions. In the face of the climate crisis, beyond the phase-out of fossil fuels, architecture has a mediating role; it is about socio-cultural rethinking.(...)

Summary:
In the age of the Anthropocene, in which humanity acts on cycles and systems with all its power and capital, architecture and energy together mean more than operational or embodied energy, active and passive solutions. In the face of the climate crisis, beyond the phase-out of fossil fuels, architecture has a mediating role; it is about socio-cultural rethinking. Disquietude addresses the entanglement between architecture and energy in the 20th century, using Portugal as an example. Featuring different local Portuguese voices, the publication identifies the potential for a transition that could be local, sustainable, diverse, and just and be meaningful also in an international perspective.

Summary:
Covering twenty-seven examples, illustrated by newly commissioned drawings and photographs, this volume reflects on the architectural ambitions and lived realities of these quotidian buildings. Architectural and urban designer Karin Templin considers the ways in which the mansion block came to define large areas of the city from Westminster and South Kensington in the nineteenth century to Kilburn and Stratford in the twenty-first. Reflecting London’s development from its consolidation as a metropolis in the high Victorian era to its present efforts to address a longstanding housing crisis, this volume explores the mansion block’s centrality to the capital’s identity and its wider relevance to discussions of housing and urban planning. This book is first in a series on types of London housing, reflecting on the place of the home in the city in the light of its longstanding housing crisis.

Summary:
Forced to find beauty in mediocrity, poetry in pragmatism, history in the absence of monuments and the future in the past, Crimson has been shaped by the experience of living and working in Rotterdam, the city that never thinks. Over the past seven years they have produced research projects, plans and initiatives that range from purely historical studies, book reviews and critiques of contemporary architecture to exhibitions, panoramas and urban planning schemes. For them, history is not a clear-cut period in the past but a total panoramic experience in which mythology, truth, writing, building and demolition intermingle. The Crimson historians don’t keep their distance, they dive right in. Too Blessed To Be Depressed is a coming-of-age book, one that shows the development of a practice and an attitude towards the outside world based not on analysis and simplification but on an endless quest for all the narratives, contradi ctions, and obsessions that make the city what it is. It presents an initial selection of work by Crimson divided among three themes: History (what to make of it, how to deal with it), Obsession (theirs along with those of others) and Top Down (the impact of large-scale infrastructural and other interventions on the city).

Summary:
Everywhere we see evidence of standardisation, the serial production of goods and services, uniformity across the globe, and people are beginning to react against this trend. The wish to alter, modify, improve, and distort the standard model is becoming increasingly apparent, and it applies as much to products, building components or plans for town development, as to cultural commonplaces and rituals. This publication provides reports on some of the rebellious strategies that have been discovered in Paris, Wuppertal, Seoul, and London. Includes interviews with architects in Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Spain, France, and the USA.
