Summary:
In the nineteenth century, Marx rejected the notion of homo sapiens, offering instead homo faber to indicate how consciousness follows from the primary activity of making. Against this, a certain ludic tradition has imagined a homo ludens, humans defined through their relationship with games and play. Cabinet 45 features Joshua Glenn on H.G.

Summary:
In the nineteenth century, Marx rejected the notion of homo sapiens, offering instead homo faber to indicate how consciousness follows from the primary activity of making. Against this, a certain ludic tradition has imagined a homo ludens, humans defined through their relationship with games and play. Cabinet 45 features Joshua Glenn on H.G. Wells’ “Floor Games”; D. Graham Burnett on games played by game theorists; Barbara Levine and Jessica Helfand on dexterity games; James Trainor on the lost world of “adventure” playgrounds; Dana Katz on Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt’s “Oblique Strategies”; an interview with Bertell Ollman, inventor of the board game “Class Struggle”; and Jeff Dolven on poems as games. Elsewhere in the issue: Helen Larsson on the history of applause; Wayne Koestenbaum’s legendary “Legend” column; Naomi Muller on eating the zoo animals in Berlin during World War II; Jeremy Crichton on “spite” houses; and much more.

In this issue… Stan Douglas has a fascinating method for producing his series: identification. For “Midcentury Studio”, Douglas dons the garb of a Canadian news photographer and war veteran. In a conversation with Monika Szewczyk, the artist discusses this work and the recent “Disco Angola”. Elisabeth Lebovici converses with Barbara Hammer to retrace the artist’s career and delve into two recent works, one on Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore, the other on Maya Deren, touching on themes of gender, role and discrimination. In Buffalo, in March 1984, Susan Krane and Bruce Jenkins interviewed Hollis Frampton, shortly before his death. The tapes, which Jenkins has retrieved from his archives 28 years later, offer an extraordinary conversation/performance of the American artist in LOST & FOUND. And much more...

Summary:
OASE 87 is dedicated to the work of British architect Alan Colquhoun, situated within today’s debate on architecture criticism. The issue presents not only the different themes that Colquhoun addressed in his work, but also the various positions taken in his career as scholar, critic and practitioner. Alan Colquhoun managed for decades to link his practical experiences with a particular way of thinking about architecture history and theory. Colquhoun’s work illustrates that architecture – even today – needs its own theory and cultural position.

Summary:
The production of architecture, both intellectually and physically, is on the brink of a fundamental change. Computational design enables architects to integrate ever more multifaceted and complex design information, while the industrial logics of conventional building construction are eroding rapidly in a context of increasingly ubiquitous computer-controlled manufacturing and fabrication. A novel convergence of computation and materialisation is about to emerge, bringing the virtual process of design and the physical realisation of architecture much closer together, more so than ever before. Computation provides a powerful agency for both informing the design process through specific material behaviour and characteristics, and in turn informing the organisation of matter and material across multiple scales based on feedback from the environment. In order to effectively introduce and outline the enabling power of computational design along with its inherent relationship to a biological paradigm, this publication looks at formation and materialisation in nature, integrative computational design, and engineering and manufacturing integration.
