Summary:
This comprehensive catalogue accompanies the exhibition 'Sociópolis: Project for a City of the Future' at the Architekturzentrum Wien. Sociópolis was created to develop "a living place with a sense of solidarity" to explore how to promote better social interaction between residents in the city of Valencia and to propose new ways of living that are typical for the social, technological and ecological conditions of our time. In the words of Dietmar Steiner, ”for the first time in the new millennium the Sociópolis project is designing a truly integrative and hybrid vision of the European town for the future. Sociópolis is setting new standards by realising a dream of social balance where all people potentially have the same opportunities – a dream of lifting all the borders between town and country by farming within the town limits. Sociópolis does this employing all-new technology and has engaged some of the most talented and interesting architects in the world to provide their contribution.” The publication presents comprehensive coverage of the projects submitted by the invited teams with a focus on architecture/social interaction/nature and new technology.

Summary:
In the 1960s art fell out of time; both artists and critics lost their temporal bearings in response to what E. M. Cioran called "not being entitled to time." This anxiety and uneasiness about time, which Pamela Lee calls "chronophobia," cut across movements, media, and genres, and was figured in works ranging from kinetic sculptures to Andy Warhol films. Despite its(...)

Summary:
In the 1960s art fell out of time; both artists and critics lost their temporal bearings in response to what E. M. Cioran called "not being entitled to time." This anxiety and uneasiness about time, which Pamela Lee calls "chronophobia," cut across movements, media, and genres, and was figured in works ranging from kinetic sculptures to Andy Warhol films. Despite its pervasiveness, the subject of time and 1960s art has gone largely unexamined in historical accounts of the period. Chronophobia is the first critical attempt to define this obsession and analyze it in relation to art and technology. Lee discusses the chronophobia of art relative to the emergence of the Information Age in postwar culture. The accompanying rapid technological transformations, including the advent of computers and automation processes, produced for many an acute sense of historical unknowing; the seemingly accelerated pace of life began to outstrip any attempts to make sense of the present. Lee sees the attitude of 1960s art to time as a historical prelude to our current fixation on time and speed within digital culture. Reflecting upon the 1960s cultural anxiety about temporality, she argues, helps us historicize our current relation to technology and time.

Summary:
In the very near future energy-efficient building will cease to be the exception but will be the rule. Whether insulating glazing, multifunctional facades or organic solar cells, there have been important new developments in the areas of solar thermal technology, photovoltaics, heating and ventilation technology which can make a significant contribution to the conservation of natural resources in sustainable building. They are suitable for a wide range of uses from large-scale urban-planning projects, to individual single family houses. This publication contains carefully selected articles which cover such essential topics as passive and active systems, the development of new insulating materials, and concepts for entire residential estates. They take into consideration all areas of solar building, providing information on planning methods and techniques which will enable the user to assess and apply the individual measures correctly. The essays are complemented by a selection of examples which demonstrate the technical and creative possibilities in realized projects. Solar energy can be successfully used in all kinds of projects – single family housing, office buildings, industrial buildings, and residential concepts, and this volume presents innovative solutions with full plans and large scale details, revealing the significance of an integral planning process.
