Summary:
The book focuses on ways to reinvent public housing in New York City through a series of design projects from Yale School of Architecture that integrate form and provide social programs for the residents. The students investigated the relationship between housing, equity, health, and community. The students developed comprehensive frameworks for the Washington Houses, three connected superblocks equivalent to seven New York City blocks. The concepts focused on restitching the project into the city street grid and sought ways to add new built fabric that would allow the Modernist towers- in-the park project to connect with public streets. Some found ways to keep the superblock with interventions to support the community at different scales and family structures. Urban farms and community facilities as well as recreation spaces were included in order to have a range of interventions for care, health, and equity that could reorient public housing.

Summary:
«The Technical Drawing volume is directed at those commencing studies in architecture and civil engineering, and trainees in construction drawing and technical drawing. University courses in particular often require basic knowledge for the preparation of technical drawings, which students have to acquire laboriously for themselves. The difficulty lies in the large number of ISO standards that regulate construction drawings - the German DIN standards were largely the basis for international standards. Regardless of these general rules, however, there is no one correct way of preparing and creating a design or working drawing. Construction drawings always an act of self-expression by the person preparing them; they have a personal touch. This book therefore provides the fundamentals required for the various plan types and drawings in the planning process - so that students are enabled to present their designs and ideas quickly and confidently through construction drawings.» Bert Bielefeld, Foreword

Summary:
Kristy Balliet and Brennan Buck are architects and have both worked as assistants to Greg Lynn. This is their 'visual catalog' of the Lynn Studio's work over the last five years. It is a project-based visual catalog of design innovations that were created with Lynn's students. Each chapter describes an exactly defined formal, aesthetic or atmospheric building block and its cultural context. The descriptions comprise introductions, reference images, theoretical contributions and the student's projects for the studio. The Visual Catalog offers a unique insight into Greg Lynn's design and teaching practice. Since the 1990s, Lynn has been considered the pioneer of a new generation of architects whose primary tool are computers. Going against the trend towards reduced, minimalist renderings in current architecture publications, the Studio Lynn Visual Catalog is a high-gloss monograph overflowing with graphical material that can be understood as an inspiring manual for students and practicing architects.
