Summary:
OASE 89 explores the production and interpretation of midsize cities--a typically European phenomenon that is contrasted here with the Asian megacity. The midsize city is envisaged as a more durable model for contemporary concerns--one that more successfully preserves historical and geographic identity.

Most literature on the Mediterranean regarding architecture and urbanism has focused on the idea of the Mediterranean city and its history, but the spatial aspect also merits attention. This region, at the intersection of three continents, is one of the most important areas on earth—culturally, politically, and ecologically. New Geographies 5, aims to recast “the(...)

Summary:
Most literature on the Mediterranean regarding architecture and urbanism has focused on the idea of the Mediterranean city and its history, but the spatial aspect also merits attention. This region, at the intersection of three continents, is one of the most important areas on earth—culturally, politically, and ecologically. New Geographies 5, aims to recast “the Mediterranean” as a contemporary phenomenon and spatialize its formation as a larger geographic entity in the twenty-first century. Contributors from a variety of disciplines challenge conventional boundaries between cities and hinterlands and dismantle prevailing geographic, spatial, and cultural meanings.

Summary:
In the last issue, the editorial dealt with how far outside of the generally accepted definition of collage we wanted to go in order to discuss it and to compare it to other art forms. It was written to help our readers understand the project’s whole process and, in practical terms, to help artists to determine if their work would be eligible or considered.

Summary:
Treating cities as laboratories of the modern world, Infrastructures of the Urban examines how they are made and how they should be remade. The contributors— scholars and practitioners from architects and sociologists to physicists— bring to bear empirical analysis, ethnography, eyewitness reflections, cultural critique, and manifestos to explore how improving our material and cultural infrastructure can produce a better society. Topics include the World Trade Center memorial, the planning of the London Olympics, the informal redesign of shanty housing by slum residents in Mumbai and Mozambique, and the more formalized construction of highways and “tech-cities” like Sondgu, South Korea. The contributors show how cities are made and remade daily, as well as how the diverse, unexpected agents involved in the process break down the distinction between experts and laypeople.
