At once anthropological and historical, and with its sights set on both the official and nonofficial city, on both urban form and urban experience, this book offers a wonderfully textured guide to contemporary Beijing, written with wit and panache. There is simply no other study quite like this. Gyan Prakash, Princeton University

Summary:
Although it is doubtful that the aggressive attitudes exercised during the 20th century for ever faster, more dominant infrastructures can ever be completely tamed, there is already a movement in recent years towards softer, greener, slower infrastructures that can improve social life while addressing ecological offenses. This special issue looks ahead to a brighter future for urban infrastructure through the lens of fifteen recent works. Among these are the Princeton Transit Hall and Market by Rick Joy Architects, Luís Pedro Silva’s Porto Cruise Terminal, Lahti Travel Centre by JKMM Architects, Napoli-Afragola High Speed Train Station by Zaha Hadid Architects, and more.

The newest titles in the Princeton Architectural Press Campus Guide series take readers on an insider's tour of the University of Washington in Seattle, Rice University in Houston, and Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Beautifully photographed in full color, the guides present architectural walks at three of America's finest campuses, revealing the stories behind the historic and contemporary buildings, gardens, and works of public art. The community of Cranbrook, designed by Eliel Saarinen, combines modernism with arts-and-crafts and art deco impulses; more recently, Steven Holl, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, and Rafael Moneo have made contributions to Cranbrook's campus.

Summary:
This book challenges traditional assumptions about the relationship between art and architecture. From 2008 through 2010, David Adjaye, along with Marc McQuade, taught three studios at the Princeton School of Architecture. Each studio focused on a collaboration with three distinguished artists Matthew Ritchie, Teresita Fernandez, and Jorge Pardo on interventions in three vastly different sites: the state of New Jersey, the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, and the city of Merida in Mexicos Yucatan Peninsula. Through an exploratory process of questioning, developing, and testing, each architect and artist reexamines the expectations traditionally associated with the conventions of architectural design and representation.
