It offers a global perspective on cities from the vantage point of the world's most populous and rapidly urbanizing continent: Asia, which also acts as the base of the laboratory. This volume illustrates the richness and diversity of research at the Future Cities Laboratory (FCL). The book, which is the first in a planned series, describes new processes and types of data that are being used both to understand and improve cities. New approaches pioneered by FCL and its partners offer an important method to bridge the gap between knowledge production and action, with the aim of ensuring the sustainability of future cities. To reach this goal, FCL works closely with stakeholders in government, industry and society. The program has developed many simulation tools to help practitioners visualize the social, environmental or economic consequences of particular planning decisions.

The post-war years were a very intense period of experiments, visions and imagination. The end of such a tragic period for the world enabled intellectuals and architects in particular, but also film-makers to rethink the future and imagine new situations with an optimistic use of technologies.

Summary:

The end of such a tragic period for the world enabled intellectuals and architects in particular, but also film-makers to rethink the future and imagine new situations with an optimistic use of technologies. For some of them, such as Buckminster Fuller, technology was the resource that was to save the world, as in the case of covering Manhattan with a glass dome, almost to preserve it like an ancient ruin. Thus, this new issue of archphoto2.0 is dedicated to the "Visionary Thinkers", to those who turned their minds to imagine new scenarios.

The city is where Italian radical architecture represented and experimented its theories. While the early projects remained theoretical proposals, some contributions by Archizoom, Superstudio, or Strum established an ambiguous relationship with design that became crucial after the international exhibition "Italy: the new domestic landscape", curated by Emilio Ambasz at the Museum of Modern Art New York in 1972. With the exception of Zziggurat, all participants, such as UFO, Gianni Pettena, Ugo La Pietra and 9999, chose the "piazza" - the public space - for their theoretical and practical experimentation as the adequate venue for installations and performances that used the same language as that of artists.

Artista, architetto e design, Pettena fu, alla fine degli anni sessanta, uno dei più prolifici rappresentanti dell'architettura radicale, un movimento europeo nato in Italia che mise in discussione l'identità dell'architettura come arte del costruire, mirando a ridefinire l'intera disciplina e riunendo un gran numero di personalità, da Ettore Sottsass jr. ad Alessandro Mendini, da Superstudio ad Archizoom Associati. Artista che ricorre al linguaggio dell'architettura e architetto che si appropria della logica artistica, Pettena ama passare da un campo all'altro, rifiutando qualsiasi barriera disciplinare e definendosi piuttosto "anarchitetto".

Nati in un fecondo momento di crisi, in un periodo segnato, a Firenze, dalla tragica alluvione del 1966, e caratterizzato, in tutta Italia, da forti tensioni politiche e sociali ma anche da un grande rinnovamento artistico e linguistico, i lavori di Archizoom, Remo Buti, 9999, Gianni Pettena, Superstudio, UFO, Zziggurat sono oggi presenti nei principali musei del mondo. Gli scritti, i disegni e i progetti dei sette protagonisti godono infatti tuttora di una capillare diffusione, e hanno influenzato più di una generazione di architetti, storici, designer e artisti in moltissimi paesi. Questo volume offre per la prima volta la possibilità di conoscerne l’opera teorica e visiva, e, grazie a un’accurata ricostruzione del contesto in cui poté svilupparsi, restituisce uno spaccato unico e in larga parte ancora inesplorato di una capitale dell’architettura del secondo Novecento.

Summary:
The recent collaboration between Gian Piero Frassinelli – founder of the Florentine collective Superstudio – and 2A+P/A an architectural practice based in Rome – relaunched a long-established, yet generally overlooked, debate on the relationship between architecture and anthropology. Moving away from a historical or scientific perspective to embrace the point of view of the project, the exhibition Savage Architecture genealogically reconstructs the ethos of such collaboration in four episodes. The outcome is a journey through the imaginative potential of the anthropological gaze in constructing both meaning and a method for the architectural project as an alternative to the dominant belief in the economic and technological reasons.

Summary:
Rethinking strategies for rural development is a global pressing challenge. To stimulate the international discussion Aedes Architecture Forum Berlin is presenting a remarkable example from rural China. Dynamic urbanization processes shape large parts of the world and China in particular. The young population migrates to the cities, whereas many elderly people and children remain in the rural areas. While in the German hinterland railway lines are shut down and the digital infrastructure is more than inadequate, the rural exodus in China is countered with new high-speed train lines and even the most remote mountain villages are being connected by broadband coverage. But also small-scale architecture creates positive future prospects for cultural, social and economic development.
