Summary:
BIG is an internationally operating creative group of architects, designers, urban and landscape planners, interior and product designers, researchers and inventors. The architecture of BIG is created on the basis of an observation of the environment and is suitable for a contemporary form of living. The secret of their architecture lies in the combination of utopia and pragmatism. This monograph shows how this can work. From small projects to a gigantic housing block, from urban space to museum – everything that makes urban architecture fascinating is included. This monograph presents 19 exciting projects from BIG’s creative workshop. It invites to a new experience of architecture.

Summary:
Demonstrating how cartography is a valuable instrument for urban research, this cartographic book reveals the impact of infrastructure on a region's development in an original manner. Bieke Cattoor has mapped and analysed the roads, railways and communications network of Belgium's Kortrijk region, overlaying them with historical and topical information. With this perspective, the varied elements in an infrastructural network are clarified, and Cattoor identifies how roads and railways form related patterns and lead to nodes. The book reveals the complexity of our layered urban landscape with a new and simple representational method, and suggests how this method can be deployed in urban research as a whole.

Summary:
Best known as the firm chosen to work on the World Trade Center Memorial, the landscape architecture projects of Peter Walker and Partners vary both in scale and program: urban design and planning, corporate headquarters and university campuses, parks, plazas, museums, and gardens. Exploring the relationships of art, culture, and context, Walker and the members of the firm re-form the landscape, challenging traditional concepts of design. Through drawing, model-making, computer graphics, and full-size mock-ups, the office moves from defining the program to experimenting with materials and forming the space. The design process, therefore, faithfully reflects the constant exchange occurring with clients, architects, and consultants. A knowledge of history and tradition and an understanding of contemporary needs and patterns of living allow the firm to produce landscapes that are both timeless and unique. This extensive monograph opens with a short essay about the organization and history of the office, the importance of apprenticeship in landscape architectural education, and the particular way that PWP artfully practices the craft of landscape architecture. It features nearly 300 images (with 3 gatefolds) of the firm’s work since 1997, including 16 built landscape projects in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Seven projects in progress include the American Embassy in Beijing, several university campuses, and the World Trade Center Memorial. The 10 site-planning and urban design projects include Millennium Parklands in Sydney, Australia, and the Novartis Headquarters in Basel, Switzerland. Each section begins with a brief introduction by Walker, and the book concludes with four competition entries, including one for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Shoei Yoh's design philosophy is based on the idea of energy, fluidity and dynamism in a determined effort to harness the changes that permeate our urban society and to satisfy new demands as they gradually emerge. He firmly believes that we must be as quick to change as the late-modern cultural landscape we inhabit.

Price:

Summary:
"Chandigarh rethink" captures the rich, ongoing discourse on radically transforming urbanities within the Global South with specific reference to India's social, historical, economic and cultural repositioning. It examines urban edge 'figures' and their rural 'grounds', relevant not just to Chandigarh, but also to cities in general, while suggesting narrative strategies via provocative design studio design work. These introspections are framed within themed contributions from a globally recognized group of scholars who represent the diverse disciplines of architecture, planning, urban design, landscape ecologies and the humanities. As a topical publication on global urbanities transforming a 'signature' urban project, "Chandigarh rethink" anticipates the Buildings-Landscapes-Cultures (blc) program and SARUP's efforts to uniquely aligning urban research, pedagogy and critical design practice towards examining global urbanities that continue to defy normative urban analysis. Beyond serving as an exemplar for globally aware architectural schools nationwide and beyond, it is also directed to serve as an instructive primer for design students and instructors examining global urban sites.

Alors que les animaux ont longtemps été effacés ou minorés des récits dominants, l’histoire que nous campons tente de mettre en lumière ce que la présence animale a généré dans la capitale. D’autre part, en menant cette enquête sur le temps long, en observant les lieux de partage entre l’humain et l’animal, qu’ils soient l’expression de tension, de collaboration ou de domination, il s’agit de dégager des indices pour imaginer ce que pourrait être un Paris à même de créer une altérité avec l’animal ; pour reprendre les mots de la philosophe Donna Haraway : « Nous devons apprendre ainsi, au coeur d’un présent épais, à bien vivre et à bien mourir, ensemble. »
