Summary:
Paisea, has decided to repeat for the first time a subject, and presents urban park 2, an opportunity to compare and contrast, to extend and to add to the perspectives of June 2007. In this second monographic magazine focused on the urban park, priority is given to large scale projects, in an attempt to highlight the difference between gardens and parks. Equally important has been the park’s location within the urban fabric, with the establishment of three types of project classified according to their position in the city: central parks, perhaps the most classical type of park but also increasingly difficult to find, in which the open space is surrounded by buildings, providing oxygen in the clogged up city; parks on borders where they are spaces of opportunity, transition and absorption between different types of land use; and finally, connecting parks, where the park brings infrastructures and connections together and becomes a new reference point in the urban fabric.

Summary:
Candide is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to exploring the culture of knowledge specific to architecture. It is released twice a year in English and German. Each issue of Candide is made up of five distinct sections. This frame- work responds to the diversity of architectural knowledge being produced, while challenging authors from all disciplines to test a variety of genres in order to write about and represent architecture. "Essay" provides a forum for discussion of architectural knowledge, including both fundamental research into and speculative arguments on its nature. "Analysis" allows for in-depth examination of built form: how can the knowledge embodied in buildings be retrospectively extracted and creatively re-used? "Project" is directed at architects who see design as a theoretical tool: how can a specific design proposal become a model of thought? "Encounters" gives access to the personal knowledge of renowned, unjustly forgotten, or entirely unknown protagonists of architecture. "Fiction" reflects the editors' conviction that sometimes the imaginary may reveal more about architectural knowledge than science.
