"The theses included herein are [...] a collective discursive space framed by the idea that the work may be able to bridge those disciplinary traits that are deemed autonomous with the social, political and economic phenomena that is impacting the world today. [...] What [the students] demonstrate through their projects is the urgency and seriousness with which they consider world transformations-in viewing the environment, the speed of urbanization, protocols of manufacturing,

Summary:
This issue features DnA, the Beijing-based firm led by architect Xu Tiantian. Since 2004, DnA has been designing public buildings that bridge culture, industry, and infrastructure in rural China.

Summary:
Current policies in planning emphasise the importance of rejuvenating neighbourhoods. This guide seeks to bridge the gap between rhetoric and reality, promoting an interprofessional and collaborative approach to making localities work. The objective is to design neighbourhoods that are healthy, safe, friendly and attractive for residents and users, whilst being more self-sustaining in terms of water, energy, local services and work. Social inclusion, accessibility and the quality of the public realm will be central tenets. The guide is distinctive in showing not only what should be done but also how it could be done. The book provides a practical guide with illustrations and case studies.

Summary:
A fully revised, updated and expanded edition of this survey of the projects that define the architectural renaissance of Britain’s capital at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Illustrated in colour throughout are not just the headline-grabbing works such as the British Airways London Eye, Tate Modern, the Millennium Bridge and the Swiss Re tower (winner of the Stirling Prize in 2004), but also a wide variety of smaller-scale projects such as schools, libraries, shops and private houses. New London Architecture remains one detailed and authoritative portrait – indispensable to professionals and the public alike – of a world city avid to embrace the best of the new.

Summary:
Architecture depends — on what? On people, time, politics, ethics, mess: the real world. Architecture, Jeremy Till argues, cannot help itself; it is dependent for its very existence on things outside itself. Despite the claims of autonomy, purity, and control that architects like to make about their practice, architecture is buffeted by uncertainty and contingency. (...)

Summary:
Architecture depends — on what? On people, time, politics, ethics, mess: the real world. Architecture, Jeremy Till argues, cannot help itself; it is dependent for its very existence on things outside itself. Despite the claims of autonomy, purity, and control that architects like to make about their practice, architecture is buffeted by uncertainty and contingency. Jeremy Till offers a proposal for rescuing architects from themselves : a way to bridge the gap between what architecture actually is and what architects want it to be. Mixing anecdote, design, social theory, and personal experience, Till's writing is always accessible, moving freely between high and low registers, much like his suggestions for architecture itself.
