Summary:
Cuttings [Supplement] is produced in association with Starling's solo exhibition at The Power Plant in 2008. The exhibition features the newly commissioned work Infestation Piece (Musselled Moore) (2007-8), a piece that collapses the history of Henry Moore's sculpture, Warrior with Shield (1953–4), with the zebra mussel infestation in Lake Ontario.

Summary:

Summary:
What might Gianbattista Piranesi (1720-1778) contribute to today’s architectural debate? Could his vision of a pensile city inspire the city of tomorrow? Archescape is a new concept based on a reading of Piranesi’s Campo Marzio, his sublime reconstruction of ancient Rome. Archescape, a fusion of the words architecture and escape into a new ‘scape’, addresses two issues: the city flight that tends towards the destruction of what it looks for, and the sprawling urban footprint that is unsustainable and blocks escape. It also conceives a way out: the creation of flight lines inside a dense city.

Summary:
Ella Briggs (1880–1977) was a talented architect, designer, and writer whose influence was felt on both sides of the Atlantic. She trained with the Viennese Secessionists and brought their radical ideas to Gilded Age New York. She designed modernist housing for the masses in Austria, was jailed as a suspected spy in Mussolini’s Italy, and thrived in Weimar Germany before suffering persecution under the Nazis. Fleeing to London, she contributed to England’s postwar reconstruction. Yet despite a long and prolific career, her name is largely forgotten today. "Finding Ella Briggs" restores Briggs to her rightful place in the history of modernist design.
