City planning is a concept which usually covers the wide range of events, processes and developments taking place in our cities, but individual plans and designs cannot do justice to the complex realities of the city. In "Induction Cities" the author aims to take the reader beyond our traditional understanding of city design to redefine our perception of design in this(...)

Summary:
City planning is a concept which usually covers the wide range of events, processes and developments taking place in our cities, but individual plans and designs cannot do justice to the complex realities of the city. In "Induction Cities" the author aims to take the reader beyond our traditional understanding of city design to redefine our perception of design in this context. With the assistance of computers, a dynamic mechanism will be created which generates a result corresponding to the specific conditions and requirements stipulated. By this form of "meta-design" a greater degree of freedom is obtained than the conventional design methods provide. In this publication, this new theory and process is analysed, looking at the first computer-generated architecture in the world, the underground station "lidabashi" in Tokyo.

Une Américaine à Paris, Gertrude Stein (1874-1946), entend nous apprendre la meilleure façon de flirter au Bon Marché... De la part de cette observatrice aussi lucide qu'acide de son temps, également inventrice du " cubisme littéraire ", on ne s'étonnera pas de recevoir une leçon tout à fait particulière ! Figure majeure des bouleversements esthétiques du XXe siècle, la femme de lettres évoque avant tout dans ce recueil d'audacieux inédits l'œuvre des artistes qu'elle accueillit en son salon de la rue de Fleurus (Satie, Apollinaire...) et celle des peintres dont elle fut l'amie et la mécène : Matisse, Juan Gris et Picasso, qui fit d'elle l'un de ses grands chefs-d'œuvre, le célèbre portrait de 1906.

Summary:
Architects Nannette Jackowski and Ricardo de Ostos have developed a unique form of experimental architecture that reinvigorates its strength as an agent of political and societal change. Ambiguous Spaces, the newest installment in the Pamphlet Architecture series and a return to Pamphlet’s own progressive roots, features the architectural fictions "The Pregnant Island" and "Nuclear Breeding." These two projects develop alternative urban concepts that address the challenges presented by the specific situations and social dynamics described in controversial locations such as the Brazilian Tucurui dam, the Three Gorges dam in China, and former English nuclear test sites.
