Summary:
In the Netherlands, climate change has brought more frequent and extreme rainfall causing pluvial flooding. Though the Dutch have dealt with water for centuries, since the Industrial Revolution urban water systems have become very inflexible and are now unable to deal with these new conditions.

Summary:
In the Netherlands, climate change has brought more frequent and extreme rainfall causing pluvial flooding. Though the Dutch have dealt with water for centuries, since the Industrial Revolution urban water systems have become very inflexible and are now unable to deal with these new conditions. Despite the long tradition of building in wet and soft soil conditions, there has been little systematic research on building-site preparation and its relation to urban development and design. This book addresses this issue by investigating the relation between the available technology, the attitude towards the natural conditions and the urban design.

Summary:
Forget revolution – it’s time for reform. As the authors of this essay collection argue, sometimes the most effective path to meaningful change is to work within existing institutions and slowly, surely, push for it. This is all the more relevant for architecture, which by definition is entrenched in larger social, economic, and political contexts. Four essays on diverse(...)

This is all the more relevant for architecture, which by definition is entrenched in larger social, economic, and political contexts. Four essays on diverse topics like urban planning policy in Mumbai, unconventional city forms in Detroit, municipal housing in Diyarbakir (Turkey), and collaborative design processes in Tirana (Albania) attempt to challenge and shift the way we understand and implement reform in the design disciplines.

Urban design, housing and other built provision all require rethinking and redeveloping to accommodate this ever-expanding ageing population. The design of our urban centres will also need to be transformed to accommodate a more integrated way of living.

Summary:
Forty years after Michel Foucault's groundbreaking 1975 study, Discipline and Punish, the available tools of scrutiny, supervision, and discipline are far more capable and insidious than Foucault dreamed, and yet less effective than Bentham hoped. Public squares, container ports, terrorist holding cells, and social networks all bristle with cameras, sensors, and trackers.(...)

Summary:
Forty years after Michel Foucault's groundbreaking 1975 study, Discipline and Punish, the available tools of scrutiny, supervision, and discipline are far more capable and insidious than Foucault dreamed, and yet less effective than Bentham hoped. Public squares, container ports, terrorist holding cells, and social networks all bristle with cameras, sensors, and trackers. But, crucially, they are also rife with resistance and prime opportunities for revolution. The Inspection House is a tour through several of these sites — from Guantánamo Bay to the Occupy Oakland camp and the authors' own mobile devices — providing a stark, vivid portrait of our contemporary surveillance state and its opponents.

Many of the major works of the early twenty-first century would have been difficult to build or even conceive without the contribution of firms like Ove Arup and Partners, Buro Happold, and Mutsuro Sasaki and Partners, to name just a few. Support and Resist is the first book to focus on the revolution in engineering culture in which structure shares the stage with design.

Covering a range of art movements, and thinkers such as Foucault, Deleuze, Adorno, Barthes, Lyotard and Greenberg, Rancière argues that contemporary theorists of the image are suffering from religious tendencies. He suggests that there is a stark political choice in art : it can either reinforce a radical democracy, or create a new reactionary mysticism. For Rancière there is never a pure art : the aesthetic revolution will always embrace egalitarian ideals.

The Albertina’s unique collection sheds light on the complex topic of historical color photos. Photography’s various coloring processes opened up a radiant new cosmos. This publication includes works ranging from early colorized one-offs to the emergence of mass-produced color photographs on a positive-negative basis. The numerous techniques, many of them little-known, and the resulting diverse applications reveal a revolution across our entire visual culture.
