Learning and unlearning should become part of an ongoing educational practice. We need new proposals for how to organize society, how to structure our governments, how to live with, not against, the planet, how to sift fact from fiction, how to relate to each other, and frankly, how to simply survive.

Summary:
Gleaned from texts written from the 1970s onwards, this volume collects practical information on the construction of roofs and shelters that were intended to meet the material needs of impoverished peoples in the Global South. It is representative of architect Yona Friedman’s foresight in those years, as he had already decided to focus his interventions on how to include the inhabitants in the design of their habitat and dwellings. Besides being tested for UNESCO, Friedman’s manuals include essential 'blackboard' sketches. Ultimately, ''Roofs'' highlights the fact that the various issues facing modern cities are the result of irresponsible attitudes towards our planet.

Summary:
Buckminster Fuller was one of the most revolutionary technological visionaries of this century. As an architect, engineer, entrepreneur, and poet, he was the quintessential American self-made man. But he was also an outsider, a technical expert with a poet's imagination who by the 1930s had already developed theories on environmental issues and anticipated the rapid globalization of our planet. This visual reader documents and examines Fuller's theories, ideas, designs, and projects. It also takes an analytical look at his ideology of technology as panacea. It contains numerous illustrations, many published here for the first time, as well as texts by Fuller and the editors.

Summary:
Seoul - one of the most densely populated urban areas on the planet. The tremendous pressure this megacity exacts on architecture in terms of spatial intensification, verticalization and amplification, challenges architectural stereotypes and promotes innovation. Megacity Network presents 32 projects by 16 representative Korean architects from the last ten years. Being more like mixtures and hybrids of conventional typologies, these projects range from traditional timber-structure houses to commercial and sports buildings, each one of them meeting the demands of Seoul´s electric urban landscape in its own way. Essays on the urban and architectural background complete the book, making it an exciting overview on the largely unknown new Korean architecture.
