Summary:
Architecture built for the purpose of living out a fantasy or for pure pleasure is multiplying at a breathtaking pace. The Mall of America, Dubai's The Palm, and Brandenburg's Tropical Island are all examples of architecture that do not fit into the traditional realm of buildings and function. Dream Worlds traces the idea of architecture and entertainment from its earliest incarnations, such as the Colosseum, to the late twentieth century, when examples of "architainment" have proliferated. It examines the post-modern desire for escapism and considers the future of this trend. Florian Holzherr's photographs capture each site as architectural structure, while complementary photographs by the author illustrate the sites in daily use.

Summary:
Forecolosed: Rehousing the American Dream is an exploration of new architectural possibilities for American cities and suburbs in the aftermath of the recent foreclosure crisis in the United States. During the summer of 2011, five interdisciplinary teams of architects, urban planners, ecologists, engineers and landscape designers were enlisted by The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and MoMA PS1 to envision new housing infrastructures that could catalyze urban transformation, particularly in the country’s suburbs. Drawing on ideas proposed in The Buell Hypothesis, a research publication prepared by the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture at Columbia University, each team focused on a specific location within a “megaregion” to come up with inventive solutions for the future of housing and cities. This publication presents each of these proposals (exhibited at MoMA in Spring 2012) in detail, through photographs, drawings and renderings as well as interviews with the team leaders. Foreclosedexamines the relationship between land, infrastructure and urban form, exploring potential futures for America’s extended metropolises.

Summary:
Joseph Eichler was a pioneering developer who defied conventional wisdom by hiring progressive architects to design modernist homes for the growing middle class of the 1950s. He was known for his innovations, including "built-ins" for streamlined kitchen work, for introducing a multipurpose room adjacent to the kitchen, and for the classic atrium that melded the indoors with the outdoors. For nearly twenty years, Eichler Homes built thousands of dwellings in California, acquiring national and international acclaim. Eichler: Modernism Rebuilds the American Dream examines Eichler's legacy as seen in his original homes and in the revival of the Modernist movement, which continues to grow today. The homes that Eichler built were modern in concept and expression, and yet comfortable for living. Eichler's work left a legacy of design intergrity and set standards for housing developers that remain unparalleled in the history of American building. This book captures and illustrates that legacy with impressive detail, engaging history, firsthand recollections about Eichler and his vision, and 250 photographs of Eichler homes in their prime.

Summary:
For the fourth issue, SUKO focuses on the theme Deferred Dream, a term coined by Langston Hughes’ poem of the same name. The idea came from the shared feeling of working toward a future that will not necessarily be realized in our lifetime, and the resolution to work towards it anyway. Through interviews, biographies, and features, artists share how they connect to their own dreamworlds and in-between places. Artists in this issue confront and challenge their uncertainties, while others draw from sources of hope and protest inspired by past generations.
