Summary:
The issue of race in architecture is a com-plicated and often divisive one. Traditional methods of architectural history and theory tend to attribute a city's civic and cultural identity to the dominant culture. Ignored are more marginal cultures without a tradition of public building, often preventing a complete understanding of the city and the forces that shape it. These essays explore the historic and contemporary effects of race upon the development of the built environment, and examine the myths and realities of America's racial landscapes. Its multidisciplinary approach identifies and interprets the black cultural landscape, examining its visual, spatial, and ideological dimensions. Contributors to this collection include Nathaniel Belcher, Felicia Davis, Sheryl Tucker deVasquez, K. Ian Grandison, Bradford Grant, Walter Hood, Lesley Lokko, Mabel O. Wilson, and Amy Weisser.

Throughout the ages architects have attempted to capture the essence of living systems as design inspiration. However, practitioners of the built environment have had to deal with a fundamental split between the artificial urban landscape and nature owing to a technological 'gap' that means architects have been unable to make effective use of biological systems in urban environments. This edition of AD that shows for the first time that contemporary architects can create and construct architectures that are bottom up, synthetically biological, green and have no recourse to shallow bio-mimicry. In the next few decades, synthetic biology is set to have as much, if not more, impact on architecture as cyberspace and the digital. The key to these amazing architectural innovations is the Protocell. Contributors include: Rachel Armstrong; Martin Hanczyc; Lee Cronin; Mark Morris Architects include: Neil Spiller; Nic Clear; IwamotoScott; Paul Preissner; Omar Khan;Dan Slavinsky; Philip Beesley; Neri Oxman

Summary:
Mien Ruys, who worked mostly in the Netherlands for almost 60 years, was one of the most influential landscape architects of the 20th Century. A leading proponent of modernist design, she introduced clean lines, geometric shapes and innovative materials. One of the few women members of CIAM, she collaborated regularly with architects including Aldo van Eyck and Gerrit Rietveld, often on much needed social housing schemes. Uniquely, she combined this modernist approach with an extensive knowledge of plants and planting, which she learnt in her father’ s Royal Moerheim Nursery in Dedemsvaart. At the nursery, she met Gertrude Jekyll - who greatly influenced Mien as she developed her own loose, natural style of planting - and created 30 experimental gardens from which lessons which can still be learnt.
