Summary:
The Bartlett School of Architecture at University College London is one of the world’s leading schools of architecture, with a substantial impact and presence worldwide. "Bartlett Works" covers the major achievements of former Bartlett architecture students and current staff, celebrating the diversity of different types of architectural activity and exploring the role of the architect generally and in specific aspects of architectural practice, the construction industry, academia and public discourse.

Summary:
Five iconic installations: one mobile and four fixed “Arteplage” locations; 500 individual structures in transition from experimental architecture to scenographics; 45 international designer teams. Illustrations, detailed plans, and instructive texts portray the architecture of the Expo in all its complexity: from Pipilotti Rist’s "Laboratory of Ideas" (Ideenlabor), visionary models of 1998 and the international competition, through to its fulfilment. The project concepts are explained by the authors in their own words: Coop Himmelb(l)au and GLS, Jean Nouvel and GIM, J. Sbriglio, and Extasia with T. Kobler/Vehovar + Jauslin, West 8/Diller + Scofidio.

Implying always a beginning, teaching is about initiating excitement.

Summary:
Implying always a beginning, teaching is about initiating excitement. It entails the deployment of pleasure, the built-up of passion, and obsession vis-à-vis a particular field of endeavour, the grounds on which a discipline operates, and its intellectual as well as physical practices. Notwithstanding the optimistic implications of such a claim, teaching inevitably involves a contradictory bias both in favour as well as against the discipline at issue, promoting an understanding of its regulating principles while at the same time questioning the seemingly secure bases on which it is presumed to stand. Whereas teaching is affirmative, it simultaneously introduces a distancing from the very subject matter that it promotes.

Summary:
"Old Europe" is beginning to show strong signs of renewed vitality, to judge from the results of this latest edition of the European Union prize for contemporary architecture - Mies van der Rohe award 2003. And not only because 269 works were selected, or because the number of competing countries (particularly those of Eastern Europe) is steadily increasing, bit also by virtue of the high average standard of the entries, particularly of the winning projects and 40 runner-up featured in this catalogue. In the end, the winning project encompasses all this : Zaha Hadid's tram station in Strasbourg is at the same time a strategy, open-ended, imperfect, intelligent and playful. But it also resolved and unafraid to identify with conventional architectural qualities.
