Summary:
For millennia, architects and builders have attempted to rationalize cities into well-functioning and liveable places. While many aspects of a city evolve naturally, other facets result from human interventions and radical imagination. "Future city" celebrates the visionary urban schemes that have preoccupied architects trying to create a better world from the 1950s to the present. This publication assembles several generations of utopian architecture in a single volume. With the city serving as the context and catalyst for the works, the book provides resource for contemporary architectural and urban development and innovation in the third millennium. It features hundreds of seminal works by some sixty architects, ranging from the groundbreaking experiments of Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid, Peter Cook, Daniel Libeskind and Coop Himmelb(l)au, alongside a new generation of rising stars, including Asymptote, NOX, UN Studio and Greg Lynn.

Museums of contemporary art are expanding and in crisis. They attract ever-larger audiences; architects constantly redesign them; and the ever-swellling ranks of artists are producing a greater quantity of art than ever before. Meanwhile, museum funds are dwindling amid economic crisis and an overheated art market. The question of which art is to be collected has also become a more openly discussed topic. How do curators meet these challenges? How do artists view their relationships to museum? How do practitioners navigate between ideas, ideals and realities? This publication gathers interviews with artists, architects and curators of the contemporary art world, such as John Baldessari, Ute Meta Bauer, Suzanne Cotter, Bice Curiger, Chris Dercon, Charles Esche, Liam Gillick, Michael Govan, Jacques Herzog, Thomas Hirschhorn, Philipp Kaiser, Rem Koolhaas, Lars Nittve, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Thierry Raspail, Tobias Rehberger and Beatrix Ruf, among others.

Summary:
After the Seagram Building in New York, the Toronto-Dominion Centre in Toronto, the New National Gallery in Berlin and the Lake Shore Drive Apartment Buildings in Chicago, architect Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) designed a gas station near Montreal in 1968. This simple and utilitarian building reflects the divergent views held by experts and laymen regarding "everyday" structures, which most of us tend to ignore. In addition to exploring the interplay of form and function in the works of Mies, this film gauges our awareness of architectural language and the role of the architect in society. Observations from some superstars of the world of architecture, including Rem Koolhaas, Elizabeth Diller and Phyllis Lambert, are interlaced with anecdotes from regular people who come into daily contact with the eminent architect's work. Original soundtrack is composed by acclaimed Ramachandra Borcar (a.k.a. DJ Ram). Format: DVD.

"Smaller Architecture" rejects the Larger Architecture that has come to dominate in the last thirty years, with the globalization of architecture, with what Rem Koolhaas celebrated as "Bigness," and with the embrace of new forms of large-scale finance and corporate management. Against the speculative financial models that define Larger Architecture and its rapacious mechanisms of real estate development, Meredith's vision for a "Smaller Architecture" proposes economic and social forms along the lines sketched out by the economist E. F. Schumacher and the urban theorist Jane Jacobs, and inspired by the philosophical writings of Emanuele Coccia, Edouard Glissant and Cornell West. Against the abstract and hierarchical business management models of large corporate firms, "Smaller Architecture" imagines local, radically inclusive, and anarchist forms of organization in smaller practices.

Summary:
Architecture and Authorship comprises 17 essays, encompassing a variety of contemporary and historical case studies, which explore issues of authorship, ownership and "copyright" in architecture. The book documents how, from the fifteenth century onwards, individual architects and movements have endeavoured to maintain their status by defending what they see as their own unique territory -- the origins and intentions of their work, and their signature style. Written contributions from international experts in architecture and art history cover a variety of fascinating topics, including domestic space; eighteenth century landscape gardens; the Berlin of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century; and postmodernism and the "Death of the Author;" as well as exploring the work of luminaries from Ernst Neufert and Cedric Price to Rem Koolhaas. Architecture and Authorship is a lavishly illustrated alternative look at the history and culture of architecture, and the thought processes and ideas behind a variety of architectural "practices."
