Summary:
Housing for the people: what opportunities exist for this democratic ideal now that the scope for publicly funded architecture is being curtailed in so many countries by the free market? Who are breaking the boundaries to create innovative housing stock? Are attitudes changing towards what is possible? How are the employment of pre-fabrication techniques, materials and information technologies being harnessed? Or could the new alliances that are being hammered out between designers and housebuilders signal the onset of a new era of design-conscious private mass housing? With contributors writing on six distinct geographical areas –Australia, Japan, The Netherlands, Sweden, the UK and the UK – as well as emergency dwellings, a worldwide perspective is established. Contents : Agrest and Gandelsonas; Alsop Architects; Architectenbureau Marlies Rohmer; BKK-3 Architektur; Brunnberg & Forshed Arkitektkontor; Caples Jefferson Architects; Kerry and Lindsay Clare; de Rijke Marsh Morgan (dRMM); Design Inc; FOB Homes; Gans & Jelacic; Alexander Gorlin Architects; Vicente Guallart; Hanrahan + Meyers Architects; Haworth Tompkins Architects; Kazuhiro Kojima; Marpillero Pollak Architects; Mecanoo Architecten; Mikan-Sei Homes; NL Architects; Oldhausen DuBois; Pasanella + Klein Stolzman + Berg; Proctor and Matthews Architects; Pugh Scarpa Kodama Architects; Sergison Bates Architects; Ken Smith; Stanisic Associates and Turner Associates; Stephenson Bell; Jens Th Arnfred; Thanhauser Esterson Kapell (TEK; Architects; Urban Affairs and Joep Mol Architects; Weiz + Yoes.

The development of the countryside has generally been conceived of from an urban perspective: the country as producer of food for the urban population, as development area, or as recreational area. Even the development and protection of nature in the countryside are undertaken in service of city dwellers, so that they can experience scenic beauty as a compensation for the(...)

Summary:
The development of the countryside has generally been conceived of from an urban perspective: the country as producer of food for the urban population, as development area, or as recreational area. Even the development and protection of nature in the countryside are undertaken in service of city dwellers, so that they can experience scenic beauty as a compensation for the pernicious urban life. Oase #63 questions existing approaches which view the countryside as the empty or "negative" part of the contemporary urban condition, and consequently reduce the countryside to what remains after the positive urban shape has been thought or carved out. Here the perspective is reversed: neither the city nor urbanization but rather the countryside and the agrarian industry constitute the starting point of this study. Thus "Oase #63" asks: Is it be possible to consider an alternative future for the countryside based on its intrinsic qualities? To what degree is the countryside capable of absorbing contemporary practices and processes? Does the countryside count at all as a bearer of political economy?

Organization space : landscapes, highways, and houses in America

Price:

Summary:
The dominant architectures in our culture of development consist of generic protocols for building offices, airports, houses, and highways. For Keller Easterling these organizational formats are not merely the context of design efforts. They are the design. Bridging the gap between architecture and infrastructure, Easterling views architecture as part of an ecology of interrelationships and linkages, and she treats the expression of organizational character as part of the architectural endeavor. Easterling also makes the case that these organizational formats are improvisational and responsive to circumstantial change, to mistakes, anomalies, and seemingly illogical market forces. By treating these irregularities opportunistically, she offers architects working within the customary development protocols new sites for making and altering space. By showing the reciprocal relations between systems of thinking and modes of designing, Easterling establishes unexpected congruencies between natural and built environments, virtual and physical systems, highway and communication networks, and corporate and spatial organizations. She frames her unconventional notion of site not in terms of singular entities, but in terms of relationships between multiple sites that are both individually and collectively adjustable.
