Summary:
Monograph dedicated to the new Intermodal Station Logroño, Spain by Iñaki Abalos and Renata Sentkiewicz, tells how the authors started from the intention to exploit the underground of the tracks and the train station to create a memorable urban event. Under a single encompassing gesture, it doesn''t only contribute functional benefits to the city of Logroño (a new high-speed railway and bus station), but specially allows to create a large pedestrian space, a park or artificial hill, culminating with uninterrupted pursuit of a new urban green ring where the tracks would separate the city in two.

Pourquoi est-ce que les (bons) tabourets ont trois pieds ? Pourquoi est-ce que la canne de Charlot se plie lorsqu’il s’appuie dessus ? Pourquoi conserve-t-on mieux son équilibre dans un bus en écartant les pieds ? Des questions assez simples dont la réponse permet cependant de comprendre des procédés de construction en apparence très complexes, tels que les ponts suspendus ou la tour Eiffel. Discussions à bâtons rompus de l’élève et du professeur, croquis illustratifs, encadrés historiques et techniques dédiés aux chefs d’oeuvre en matière de conception, exemples humoristiques... Le lecteur est invité à voyager de façon très didactique « au pays des structures ».

Summary:
Abandoned shopping carts are everywhere, and yet we know so little about them. Where do they come from? Why are they there? Their complexity and history baffle even the most careful urban explorer. Thankfully, artist Julian Montague has created a comprehensive and well-documented taxonomy with ''The stray shopping carts of Eastern North America''. Spanning thirty-three categories from damaged, fragment, and plow crush to plaza drift and bus stop discard, it is a tonic for times defined increasingly by rhetoric and media and less by the plain objects and facts of the real world. Montague’s incomparable documentation of this common feature of the urban landscape helps us see the natural and man-made worlds—and perhaps even ourselves—anew.

Summary:
How can architecture exist as an art form in an increasingly technocratic world? How can architects convert their designs into cost-efficient and economic buildings? In eight uncompromising projects, Gert Wingårdh presents his personal answers. The range of projects starts with simple tasks, such as a water tower and a bus stop. These are contrasted by the artistically designed Aula Medica of the Karolinska Institutet and the Naturum museum and visitor center in Gällivare in the north of Sweden, the renovation of the National Museum and the extension to the Liljevalchs Konsthall. An afterword by Mårten Castenfors, Director of Liljevalchs Konsthall, rounds off the personal comments by the architect on his projects, which are illustrated in great detail with hand sketches, photographs and drawings.
