His work includes homes, hotels, schools, and urban planning, as well as small-scale interventions and exhibition design. In rejecting facile connections between theory and practice, he developed a multidimensional, critical and early postmodern position amid a climate of reformation and avant-gardism. Guest-edited by Christian Kühn of Technische Universität Wien, this issue explores the many facets of Czech’s architectural thought and practice through works ranging from furniture design to urban-scale infrastructure.

By unearthing and presenting the large-scale project of building more than 350 cooperative centres that began 70 years ago, it reveals how these centres have seen changes in the political and economic system, taken on new uses, shaped local communities, and remain relevant today. A closer look at this history provides a better understanding of indoor public spaces as social infrastructure that fosters interaction, communication, and empowerment.

Summary:
Over a period of three decades, from 1958 to 1988, the New South Wales Government Architect’s Office (GAO) in Australia realised nearly a thousand buildings across the state. This enormous production was the direct result of an ideological choice, one that involved a brutal commitment to building architecture that was merely adequate. In terms of scale and ambition, the GAO’s operation resembles the laying out of the Roman Empire. It built the infrastructure that holds the territory together, and in doing so literally constructed the state while obliterating the pre-existing country. Through numerous examples, this volume meticulously documents the phenomenon.

Often using a bird's-eye perspective, the photographer shows us its remote sources, remarkable ancient step-wells and mass bathing rituals, the transformation of desert into cities with waterfronts on each doorstep, the compromised landscapes of the American Southwest. Furthermore, Burtynsky explores the infrastructure of water management: the gigantic hydroelectric dams and terraced rice fields in the heart of China, the vast irrigation systems of America's bread basket and the use of aquaculture.

Summary:
The assimilation and synthesis of digital communications among architects, engineers, fabricators and builders is dramatically altering how we work and our relationship to the tools we use. New digital capacities are restructuring the organization and hierarchy of design from autonomous processes to collective workflows. The historical role of the designer as an author, a sole creator, is being replaced with semi-autonomous, algorithmically driven design workflows deeply embedded in a collective digital communication infrastructure. This is creating a number of pressures on the discipline of architecture to reorganize around the opportunities, and risks, of these changes.

The transformed perception of cities and urban space due to today’s data-oriented society forms a major focus, wherein the mediatisation of the urban landscape plays a significant role. The increasing, hybridising overlap of physical urban space and virtual information space in everyday life is explored through a range of theoretical and artistic positions. Contributors include Sabine Himmelsbach, Dietmar Offenhuber, Mark Shepard, Yolande Harris, Christian Nold and Gordan Savii, among others.
