Summary:
The conversion and revitalisation of old industrial premises is a construction task which is increasingly important in the transition from an industrial society to a service society. The architect Michael A. Landes converted the site of the Union brewery in Frankfurt into a new urban district for the investor Ardi Goldman by cautiously supplementing the existing substance with a new building. This ensemble situated in Hanauer Landstrasse, Frankfurt's centre for creative people of all kinds, is convincing in the power of its architectural language and in its urban quality. A fine balance of access space and open spaces makes it into a city which is open for a wide range of uses.

Summary:
The cities and urban societies of America and Europe were subject to dramatic shifts of power in the 19th century: the founding of new nation-states, industrialization and the increased mobility that went along with these developments were accompanied by tremendous social changes. New parties strove to participate in shaping society and urban space. New ways of using the city not only promoted the physical expansion of the developing capitals and metropolises, but also required a new coding of existing urban structures to meet changing requirements and expectations about life and society. ''Recoding the City'' explores the intentions and claims of the protagonists who shaped the cities of the 19th century. Developed from a series of international research initiatives, ''Recoding the City'' examines this decisive moment in the history of the Western city and considers its continuing influence on our lives in the present day.

Studying the relation of architecture to society, this book explains the manner in which the discipline of architecture adjusted itself in order to satisfy new pressures by society. Consequently, it offers an understanding of contemporary conditions and phenomena, ranging from the ubiquity of landmark buildings to the celebrity status of architects. It concerns the period spanning from 1966 to the first years of the current century – a period which saw radical change in economy, politics, and culture and a period in which architecture radically transformed, substituting the alleged dreariness of modernism with spectacle.

Now, over twenty years after its original release, this landmark work has been updated with a new translation by Denyse Beaulieu and a new foreword by the author. Where does our current obsession for interactivity stem from? After the consumer society and the communication era, does art still contribute to the emergence of a rational society? Nicolas Bourriaud attempts to renew our approach to contemporary art by getting as close as possible to the artists' works, and by revealing the principles that structure their thoughts: an aesthetic of the interhuman, of the encounter, of proximity, of resisting social formatting.
