Summary:
Baudrillard has become incredibly popular in architecture in recent years and this is the first time that the work of one of the world’s greatest philosophers has been pulled together to present a complete assessment and understanding of it. In Baudrillard's terms, architecture could be seen as the supreme medium of contemporary visual culture, especially in its potential to influence the individual's perception of reality as a component of the massmedia system. This type of cultural analysis of the built environment is a relatively new idea in architectural criticism and this book provides the first invaluable directory for the reader. Proto uses extracts from Baudrillard's very own work, including previously unpublished material. Proto's style makes Baudrillard's work easy to read and easily accessible to readers in cultural studies, geography and art, as well as sociology and social theory.

Summary:
An architecture book in a radical new format, ‘'MANGARCHITECTURE'’ comprises seven short manga stories by seven artists, each based on a different project by Tokyo-based architect Yasutaka Yoshimura. The manga creators use Yoshimura’s work as a springboard for wildly imaginative interpretations that simultaneously hint at new possibilities for architecture. In addition to the manga stories, the book presents building drawings, designs, and data, as well as commentary on each project by Yoshimura. Completing the volume is an essay by the architect and a thought-provoking dual chronology of the history of manga and architecture in Japan.

Summary:
Together the authors of this edition, Heather Woofter and Sung Ho Kim, have over 20 years of experience teaching architecture. Based on the premise that architecture is a critical practice framed by the conditions of history, material production, representation, and space-making. Creative imagination is seen as a fundamental component to research, evaluation, and documental production. They address a set of basic ideas that build critical questions in architecture, including those emergent from professional practice, or that focus on personal directions and expressions, and cover technique, design flexibility, problem solving, methods of representation, and much more.

Summary:
This book sheds light on the contemporary status of phenomenological discourse in architecture and investigates its current scholastic as well as practical position. Starting with a concise introduction to the philosophical grounds of phenomenology from the points of view of Husserl, Merleau-Ponty and Heidegger, it presents a critical reading of the works of some leading figures of architectural phenomenology in both theory and practice, such as Christian Norberg-Schultz, Kenneth Frampton, Juhani Pallasmaa, and Steven Holl. Highlighting the main challenges of the current phenomenological discourse in architecture, this book formulates a more articulated method of 'phenomenological interpretation' – dubbed 'phenomenal phenomenology' - as a new and innovative method of interpreting the built environment. Finally, using Tadao Ando's Langen Foundation Museum as a case study, it investigates the architect's contribution to phenomenological discourse, interprets and analyzes the Museum building using the new heuristic method, and thus provides a clear example of its applicability.

Summary:
The Space Reader provides a highly pertinent and contemporary understanding of space for a new generation of students and architects. It espouses a definition of space that is heterogeneous (an object or system consisting of a diverse range of different items). An example of heterogeneous space, for instance, is Manhattan where complex and multiple social and technological conditions are overlaid. (This is to be contrasted with highly centralised and ordered Modernist cities.) With the onset of globalisation and the Web, heterogeneneous space, with its emphasis on differentiation, is more relevant to the contemporary condition, which encourages the mixing of space, than a much more static conception of Modernist space.
