Summary:
The subject of the book is an architectural encounter with the psyche, the starting point being an intervention in a solitary confinement cell of a psychiatric clinic in 1997. Crumbling edges, shifting perceptions, a world of confinement and liberated space, ... a network of thoughts and illusions, ... "sequences" describes the development of architectonic structures in an in-between world of unstable equilibrium. Architecture, art, psychiatry, psychology and philosophy are all linked by perception. By means of pictures, drawings and (thought) models, the different layers are exposed. The book has no beginning and no end, it offers an insight into various sequences involved in the design process

Summary:
A new council office, designed by Squire and Partners, opened in Nairobi in November 2004. The design utilises the local climate and orientation to passively control the building’s environment and has evolved from Squire and Partners’ ethos of contextual modernism. The practice works hard with site locations, aspect and orientation to develop proposals that are both appropriate and culturally of their 'place’. The design responds specifically to both the culture of the British council in East Africa and the site context of central Nairobi to create a dramatic, beautiful space. The British Council’s Visual Arts Department commissioned a site specific work for the new building from artist David Tremlett who was invited to contribute wall drawings to the front and back elevations and to the main corridors leading to the teaching areas within the building. The drawings of rubbed pigment and varnish highlight accentuate the flat planes of the building and the colours harmonise with the vibrant richness of the Kenyan soil, vegetation and sky.

Summary:
With a title that refers to the development of ideas through one’s own initiative, "Marble Fairbanks : bootstrapping" is an examination of the techniques of pattern and performance in the speculative and built work of the New York architecture firm. This book approaches those organizational issues with pictorial and written documentation of three recent architectural projects: Marble Fairbanks' proposal for the Fashion Institute of Technology Campus Extension in New York, Housing Ecologies, an urban housing scheme, and their award-winning entry for the Chicago Public Schools Competition. The complexity of these issues is also examined in a thought-provoking conversation with Marble Fairbanks and Reinhold Martin, editor of the journal Grey Room and author of The Organizational Complex. "Bootstrapping" concludes with architect Michael Bell’s essay on subjectivity, urbanism, and architecture in Marble Fairbanks' work, and is the latest addition to the Michigan Architecture Papers publication series of Charles and Ray Eames lectures given by contemporary architects.

Summary:
The Lentos Kunstmuseum in Linz by Weber + Hofer is a striking example of volumetric clarity and an ideal spatial concept. With a length of 130 meters and a width of 30 meters, the oscillating three-story glass cube fits in perfectly with the surrounding architectural landscape along the Danube, where it lies like a "glass ship" at anchor in Linz. The structure provides 8,000 square meters of space for internationally renowned art, from the classical modern period to the present, along with an underground library, a museum shop, a restaurant, a café, and a bar. In the Kunstmuseum Lentos, the award-winning Swiss architect team of Jürg Weber and Josef Hofer have realized an outstanding architectural design that meets the highest structural, technical, and aesthetic standards.

The experimental and partly realized work of Sotirius Kotoulas, an architect living in New York City, has often attracted attention in the USA, being written about and awarded prizes. He is, however, less well known in Eurpoe. He is presently working on a design for a house in Seriphos, Greece. Lebbeus Woods on Kotoulas’ work: “… This is not an inhabitable site-specific architecture but one that is translatable, a numerical transference outside the material realm of building as an architecture about architecture.”
