Summary:
"The Hypospace of Japanese architecture" pushes past clichés of an exotic Japan to confront the modernity of an island nation whose habit of importing foreign ideas is less about assimilation than transformation, less a process of indigenization than one of cultural invention. The realization that buildings are dynamic events—phenomena of space-in-time, not inert objects(...)

The realization that buildings are dynamic events—phenomena of space-in-time, not inert objects outside time—continues to inform Japanese architecture and suggests how we can rethink the history, theory, and practice of architecture more generally.

Summary:
This volume documents and illustrates 60 projects, past and present, that key into a libertarian ethos and desire for diverse self-organised ways of building. They are what this book calls an ‘anarchist’ architecture, that is, forms of design and building that embrace the core values of traditional anarchist political theory since its divergence from the mainstream of socialist politics in the 19th century. These are autonomy, voluntary association, mutual aid, and self-organisation through direct democracy. As the book shows, there are a vast range of architectural projects that can been seen to reflect some or all of these values, whether they are acknowledged as specifically anarchist or otherwise.

Summary:
This illustrated collection features designers and projects that push the boundaries of art and architecture. "Architecture : art" explores the disparate ways in which contemporary artists and architects handle the blurring lines between their disciplines. Contemporary art often oversteps the limits of its traditional concepts and modes of presentation, increasingly moving into virtual and actual spaces. Similarly, many of today's architects depart from the principles of classical modernism and historical models to integrate artistic concepts into the design and construction of their buildings. The book highlights the most exciting examples of these interdisciplinary activities, from Zaha Hadid's Guggenheim Museum in Taichung, Taiwan to Richard Meier's Jubilee Church in Rome, Italy, and from Hiroshi Sugimoto's Go'o Shrine to Richard Serra's Torqued Ellipses. Profiles of the featured artists and architects are included, along with an introductory essay elucidating the historical foundations from which architecture and art have coevolved to the present day.

Summary:
This project began with an essay on the "McMansion" phenomenon, and it grew to become a meditation on the assorted different building types that are found in every American city and suburb. While it’s true that good buildings do exist for each of those categories, they are very much the exception, these buildings more typically ranging from dull to assertively ugly. The book is meant to be a fairly pitiless and revealing look at this "vast wasteland," with an architect’s hat on but without resort to the profession’s fads and verbiages. Several natural categories inform the organization of the contents, including commercial, residential, and institutional, even including cars and other manifestations of "architecture on the move" that have also lost their way in stylistic terms. The writing includes capsule histories of many of the building types included, plus some lesser-known facts and some sidebars on sociocultural aspects which make up much of one’s experience of these places. Stylistically, a bit of an acerbic tone makes for diverting as well as informative reading.
