Summary:
This follow-up to Kate Nesbitt's best-selling anthology Theorizing a New Agenda collects twenty-eight essays that address architecture theory from the mid-1990s, where Nesbitt left off, through the present. Kristin Sykes offers an overview of the myriad approaches and attitudes adopted by architects and architectural theorists during this era. Multiple themes—including the impact of digital technologies on processes of architectural design, production, materiality, and representation; the implications of globalization and networks of information; the growing emphasis on sustainable and green architecture; and the phenomenon of the "starchitect" and iconic architecture—appear against a background colored by architectural theory, as it existed from the 1960s on, in a period of transition (if not crisis) that centers around the perceived abyss between theory and practice. Theory's transitional state persists today, rendering its immediate history particularly relevant to contemporary thought and practice.

Summary:
''LBA Architecture and Planning'' is an architectural practice based in Macau, co-founded by architects Rui Leão and F. Carlotta Bruni. The firm specializes in designing projects that integrate contemporary architecture with the historical and cultural context of the region. LBA has contributed to shaping Macau’s urban and architectural identity during the past 20 years of rapid urbanization. The intellectual contributions of LBA are further evidenced through their spatial narratives that integrate complex urban contexts with culturally sensitive design strategies. The firm emphasizes the importance of creating spaces that harmonize with their surroundings while addressing the functional needs of modern urban living. This approach is particularly relevant in Macau, where the juxtaposition of old and new is a defining characteristic of the city. Their work in Macau serves as a testament to their capacity for thoughtful integration of historical contexts and innovative design, contributing significantly to the evolving identity of the city.
