Summary:
In December 2006, close to Zurich airport, Opfikerpark was completed after a construction period of 79 weeks. Central element of the park is a concrete sculpture, over 500m-long, accommodating a lake surrounded by sandy beaches and a reed belt. The idea for the design of the park was the result of an international competition initiated in 2001 and won by Berlin practice Kiefer. As the second exhibition at gallery AedesLand, this project will be introduced in June 2007. Contrary to the usual approach, the exhibition does not aim to present an already completed construction but rather make transparent the process of creation and realization of the building project ‘opfikerpark’. The efforts and challenges to create a complex and outstanding structure, which were faced by client, planners, engineers as well as executing contractors, shall be recorded in a commented illustration of the construction work. Building sites are temporary production sites involving a multitude of disciplines and trades which need to be coordinated. The exhibition reflects the progressing technological, organizational and design process as well as the objective and subjective influences in effect and thus aims to convey a realistic image of the building activities. Photographer Hanns Joosten has documented the construction progress at regular intervals. His high-quality, large-scale images communicate the special aesthetics of a building site in all its diversity and affect the atmosphere of the exhibition. The whole exhibition space will be part of the exhibition, even floors and ceilings. In addition, a media installation explains the progress of constructing Opfikerpark where viewpoints of diverse disciplines and participants meet. The players get a chance to speak and express their personal perspective on the building process with spoken commentaries. How is a large park constructed? How does a building site work? What do you need so many planners for? And how do they work together? Based on these questions, spontaneous contributions shall throw a critical and ironic light on the expert discourse.

Summary:
East is an award winning architecture, landscape and urban design practice established in London since 1995. "We are interested in places, uses and the way they come about. By places we mean cities, spaces within them, buildings, and landscapes. Our work has come to be internationally recognised for a patient and innovative role in adjusting and improving the urban fabric and its uses. A careful understanding and documentation of places as they are found, their spatial relationships, colour, smell, materiality help our development and judgement of design." Illustrated with drawings and photographs, the 14 projects described in the book vary in many ways. Architecturally they may have little in common, but what they share is an engagement with their place, and demonstrate that our primary motivation as architects is not to design architecture, but to discover, prescribe and give shape to the need for it. With an introduction by Jonathan Sergison, the book includes essays by Kieran Long, Julian Lewis, Dann Jessen and Judith Losing. http://www.east.uk.com/

Summary:
American cities underwent seismic transformations in the 1960s and '70s, from shifting demographics and political protests to reshaping through highways and urban renewal. Amid this climate of upheaval, photographers, architects, activists, performance artists, and filmmakers turned conditions of crisis into sites for civic discourse and artistic expression. The City Lost and Found explores photographic and cinematic responses to the changing fabric of New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles that contributed to a reconsideration of cities in popular media and urban policy during this period. This book raises timely questions about the role of art within the social, political, and physical landscape of cities. Featuring contributions from more than 20 noted scholars in fields including art history, urban planning, architecture, and cultural studies, this is the first publication to address an important shift in photographic, cinematic, and planning practices based on close observations of streets, neighborhoods, and seminal events in the country's three largest cities.
