Summary:
This small architectural guide provides a representative overview of the built environment in the north Indian metropolis of Ahmedabad. In addition to covering the city’s notable legacy of modernist architecture, the work also treats diverse forms of informal urban arrangements: from architecture without architects (to borrow from Bernard Rudofsky) to ephemeral structures sprouting up on streets and plazas, everything is fair game. Clear axonometric drawings and short texts providing cultural and historical context make this idiosyncratic travel guide an accessible introduction to decoding Indian urbanism for the architect and layperson alike.

Summary:
This publication provides a new perspective on the cultural landscapes of mining across the province of Asturias in north-west Spain. These areas, after undergoing an intense process of industrialisation, have changed considerably within just a few decades. What were once natural valleys with rural economic and social structures came to host bustling, dense urban agglomerations. As a result, hybrid architectures have emerged, mutating artefacts which, despite the invisibility of their inevitable marginality, can offer interesting lessons in architecture today. Richly illustrated with photographs and diagrams, it features contributions from noted artists and architects.
