Summary:
Ryuji Fujimura questions Japan’s modernist post-war architectural paradigms in his work, repositioning architecture within its urban, economic and social forces. His design background has roots in both social and building engineering, and has come to define his own practice based on the notion of “architecture as critical engineering-ism”. The projects featured in this volume are carefully tailored to their contexts, clients and environmental conditions. In his design process, Fujimura studies a series of prototype models, each improving upon the last, until satisfaction with the form is reached. Here he describes and illustrates this narrative process of embryonic development.

Summary:
An endling is the last known individual of a species; when that individual dies, the species becomes extinct. These "last individuals" are poignant characters in the stories that humans tell themselves about today’s Anthropocene. In this evocative work, Lydia Pyne explores how discussion about endlings draws on deep traditions of storytelling across a variety of narrative types that go well beyond the science of these species’ biology or their evolutionary history. It provides a useful and thoughtful discussion of species concepts: how species start and how (and why) they end, what it means to be a "charismatic" species, the effects of rewilding, and what makes species extinction different in this era.

Summary:
Bridging histories of technology, media studies, and aesthetics, ''Electrographic architecture'' forges a critical narrative of the ways in which illuminated light and color have played key roles in the formation of America's white imaginary. Carolyn L. Kane charts the rise of the country's urban advertisements, light empires, and neoclassical buildings in the early twentieth century; the midcentury construction of polychromatic electrographic spectacles; and their eclipse by informatically intense, invisible algorithms at the dawn of the new millennium. Drawing on archival research, interviews, and visual analysis, Electrographic Architecture shows how the development of America's electrographic surround runs parallel to a new paradigm of power, property, and possession.

This hybrid essay involves theory, history and building design. The narrative thread places very particular emphasis on the period between 1850 and 1950, a time at which new techniques and aesthetic rules came to the fore, leading to the development of a concern with turning the roof into an habitable space.
