Summary:
Throughout the ages architects have attempted to capture the essence of living systems as design inspiration. However, practitioners of the built environment have had to deal with a fundamental split between the artificial urban landscape and nature owing to a technological 'gap' that means architects have been unable to make effective use of biological systems in urban environments. This edition of AD that shows for the first time that contemporary architects can create and construct architectures that are bottom up, synthetically biological, green and have no recourse to shallow bio-mimicry. In the next few decades, synthetic biology is set to have as much, if not more, impact on architecture as cyberspace and the digital. The key to these amazing architectural innovations is the Protocell. Contributors include: Rachel Armstrong; Martin Hanczyc; Lee Cronin; Mark Morris Architects include: Neil Spiller; Nic Clear; IwamotoScott; Paul Preissner; Omar Khan;Dan Slavinsky; Philip Beesley; Neri Oxman

Summary:
Prefabricated, refurbished or built on site, the dozen houses featured here adopt different technological solutions, expressed with special rigor through the construction details viewed as an intelligent synthesis of architecture and industry, of drawing and thought. Centred on these aspects of the project, this issue goes from the bare and strict concrete of the 1+1=1 House in Madrid to the wavy and folded one of the House in San Vicente del Raspeig; from the abstract purity of the Moliner House in Zaragoza to the material eclecticism of the Zafra-Uceda House in Madrid, the Never Never Land House in Ibiza, or the House for a Swimmer in Murcia. Architects included in this issue are Eduardo Arroyo, Alberto Campo Baeza, Izaskun Chinchilla, Ferrater & Martí, Juan Herreros, Andrés Jaque, Martín Lejarraga and others.
