Summary:
Research in and on architecture is as complex as the discipline itself with its different specialist fields, and therefore the results often remain unconnected. This publication combines digital and analog research issues and demonstrates how important cross-disciplinary cooperation in architecture is today. The complexity and increasing specialization are elaborated on in the various chapters and then linked to the core of architecture, i.e. design. Scientists from the theoretical and practical fields present research results in the following subjects: "design methodology", "architectural space, perception, and the human body", "analog and digital timber construction", "visualization", "robotics", "architectural practice and research", and "sustainability".

Summary:
Educated in England, David Adjaye’s lifelong dream was to return to Africa as an architect to document the continent’s built environment. Over a decade, he tirelessly documented these dynamic, colorful cities, photographing thousands of buildings, sites, and public spaces, and letting each building speak for itself. The fifty-three cities featured in this study are grouped according to the terrain in which they are set: the Maghreb (north Africa); Desert; Sahel (the semi-arid transitional region between the Sahara and the south); Forest; Savannah and Grassland; and Mountain and Highveld.

Summary:
Directed by Paolo Portoghesi, the Second Venice Architecture Biennale raised questions about a postmodernity through realms extending south and east from the Mediterranean, where modernity and decolonisation were converging. Translated here for the first time for an English-speaking audience are selected texts by Mehdi Kowsar, Udo Kultermann, and Portoghesi from the original exhibition catalogue, accompanied by additional commentary. Furthermore, Esra Akcan reflects on the historical and socio-political contexts of the exhibition, while Asli Çiçek and Véronique Patteeuw consider the catalogue itself from the perspective of architectural history.
