Summary:
Architecture photographer Takeshi Yamagishi’s first monographic collection presents his recordings of virtually every aspect of the collisions between architecture as the edge of artificiality and various forces of nature. The extensive series covers a period from the immediate aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 to the ongoing restoration efforts today, including measures against future catastrophes. It contains roughly 200 ultra-high-resolution images captured using 4 x 5 film, rather than digitally, and forms an impressive homage to the resilience and tenacity of the Japanese people, expressed through the built environment and augmented landscapes.

Summary:
Urbanisation is the driver behind China's economic, political and social advances, with the Chinese media reporting that 183 Chinese cities now aim to develop and present themselves as modern international metropolises. Via interviews, reports and photographs, the authors examine the characteristics and potential of these cities. The book examines what constitutes a contemporary world city, where skyscrapers and big populations must blend with an international reputation, a lively cultural life, and ethnic diversity. The authors investigate the extent to which these criteria are already being achieved in China, and how they impact on the country's vision of its urban future.

Someone who doesn’t experience or understand pleasure re-invents poetry for the 21st century conflicted ego, viewing life as a political problem that no amount of startling emotional turmoil or insight can solve. The texts here range from confessions of conflicted feelings to theories of obsolesce, from the desire for a fluffy towel, to possible dialogs for a future detective novel. Freely mixing a calm, straight-forward voice with fragmented shades of hysteria and polemic, the book lays bare the unsettling disappointment of youthful hope, the utopian dream, and energy lost somewhere between a party and a political action.

It provides reflections on the possibility of bringing forth new communities and new collaborations in spite of differences and in spite of people's individual interests. The themes of the book share an urban affinity in terms of the urban environment's inherent diversity and potential for offering different meeting places.
