Summary:
While the function of a building may change over time, its architecture remains. In lessons, EAST examines the aspects of construction that determine the use, morphology, and spatial structure of buildings. The history and change of these aspects serve as a basis for analyzing the design of new buildings as well as for reusing and transforming existing buildings. Urban settlements are thus a laboratory for architectural ideas, which are further developed using the technical means and spatial concepts of our time. The joint project work in the studio spacefacilitates a continuous discussion of different design approaches and helps the students to develop their own ideas.

Summary:
The book is designed to give a stimulating idea of the current direction of international interior design. Nigel Coates has selected approximately 30 international designers whose work he thinks is especially interesting. The book presents a selection of work by these designers in such a way that the relations between different designers are brought out as well as broader themes in current interior design. While each selected project is featured over a series of pages, the same project may crop up at various other points through book. The purpose of this is to draw comparisons between each project by letting them cross over into one another’s territory. Hence the title: ‘Collidoscope’. As such, it works both as a sourcebook with reference to current tendencies in design and to the ideas that underpin them. It foregrounds the designers while raising challenging differences and overlaps between them.
