Summary:
Are metropolises really the “manifest destiny” of humankind? Is the environmental predicament calling for more concentration and incorporation? Or is it conducive to some kind of urban exodus? By and large, what might be the principles and ethics of design in such a condition? These are some of the issues that this book addresses.

Summary:
The Architecture of Neoliberalism pursues an uncompromising critique of the neoliberal turn in contemporary architecture. This book reveals how a self-styled parametric and post-critical architecture serves mechanisms of control and compliance while promoting itself, at the same time, as progressive.

Summary:
The Architecture of Neoliberalism pursues an uncompromising critique of the neoliberal turn in contemporary architecture. This book reveals how a self-styled parametric and post-critical architecture serves mechanisms of control and compliance while promoting itself, at the same time, as progressive. Spencer's incisive analysis of the architecture and writings of figures such as Zaha Hadid, Patrik Schumacher, Rem Koolhaas, Greg Lynn and Alejandro Zaera-Polo shows them to be in thrall to the same notions of liberty as are propounded in neoliberal thought.

Summary:
In the next few years, emerging practices in interactive architecture are set to transform the built environment. Whereas 'smart' design was once regarded as the preserve of museum exhibit or Jumbotrom advertising screens, 'multi-mediated' interactive design has now entered every domain of public and private life. As a spatial medium, interactive design is revolutionising and reinventing our homes, as well as our work and leisure spaces. Essays and interviews by international commentators Lucy Bullivant, guest editor of the issue, Ole Bouman, Antonino Saggio, Stefano Mirti and Walter Aprile and Mike Weinstock on the cultural issues raised by the emergence of interactive architecture will be complemented with features on acclaimed practitioners Christian Moller, Tobi Schneidler, Ron Arad and Jason Bruges. Benchmark interactive projects in this issue evolving new models of interdisciplinary teamwork include The Media House, led by Metapolis, IaaC and the MIT Media Lab and projects conceived at the Interactive Institute, Ivrea, Italy. New work is also featured by KDa/Toshio Iwai; realities: united, Usman Haque, Adam Somlai-Fischer, Ben Rubin and Mark Hansen, Lars Spuybroek and the Institute of Neuro-Informatics, ETH, Zurich, Kitchen Rogers Design; IDEO, and Tom Barker, b consultants/SmartSlab.

Summary:
London has always been known for its iconic buildings, but the city has recently witnessed an explosion of new architecture from the world’s most acclaimed architects. This breathtaking volume offers a fascinating look at the city’s rapidly changing skyline and celebrates the enormous array of styles, materials, and cutting-edge technology that have been employed by today’s leading architects. The projects profiled here—brought to life by photographer Richard Schulman—range from dance and aquatic centers to world-class museums and global office headquarters. The book includes Rafael Viñoly’s “Walkie-Talkie” and “The Gherkin” by Foster + Partners, as well as Renzo Piano’s mixed-use skyscraper, “The Shard,” across the Thames. Tucked into a medieval alley, OMA’s New Court Rothschild Bank nimbly juxtaposes contemporary features with more traditional ones. Meanwhile, alongside St. Paul’s Cathedral, Jean Nouvel’s One New Change cleverly plays off its storied environs with an ingeniously constructed glass block that allows for multiple views of the iconic church. From the Tate Modern extension to the Emirates Airline tram, and from the Peckham Library to the US Embassy building, no new stone is left unturned or unremarked upon. This book demonstrates how one of the world’s oldest cities manages to feel eternally new and exciting.

Summary:
Au début des années soixante, des revues internationales d’art et d’architecture consacraient plusieurs articles aux travaux du jeune architecte André Jacqmain. Sous le titre "Une maison pour des tableaux", L’Œil d’avril 1962 présentait la maison du couple de collectionneurs d’art moderne Bertie et Gigi Urvater. Demeure baroque conçue comme un parcours labyrinthique qui égrenait sur ses murs les Magritte, Ernst, Klee, Matta, Bacon, Riopelle… "Une maison", écrit l’auteur du texte, "qui ne ressemble à aucune autre", mettant ainsi le doigt sur ce qui caractérise l’originalité de Jacqmain. Toujours produire, au risque de ne pas faire école, des œuvres différentes nées de son imaginaire de latin du Nord et souvent soulignées par un tréfonds stylistique : réminiscences des élancements gothiques, des pagodes chinoises, de l’art déco... Après des études à l’Académie des beaux-arts de Bruxelles pendant les années de guerre, on le retrouve en 1950 aux Ateliers du Marais où il côtoie Pierre Alechinsky et Christian Dotremont. À 46 ans, en 1967, il fonde l’Atelier d’architecture de Genval, s’entoure d’une équipe, une pépinière d’idées qui fouettent l’imagination, qui lui permet d’aborder la grande échelle. Ce solitaire qui n’aime pas la solitude a toujours su s’entourer d’amis fidèles et d’artistes comme le créateur de meubles Jules Wabbes, les frères Strebelle, les photographes Gilles Ehrmann et Fabien de Cugnac, l’architecte Nicole Beeckmans qui l’a assisté dans la réalisation de ce livre où il retrace à travers des dessins son parcours, de sa naissance à aujourd’hui.
