Summary:
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(...)

Summary:
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

This issue of AD explores the resurgence of ecological strategies in architectural imagination. As a symptom of a new sociopolitical reality inundated with environmental catastrophes, sudden climatic changes, garbage-packed metropolises and para-economies of nonrecyclable e-waste, environmental consciousness and the image of the earth re-emerges, after the 1960s, as an(...)

Summary:
Dès sa parution en 1849, "Les Sept lampes de l'architecture" de John Ruskin a fait événement à la fois par ses illustrations et par ses thèses. Les premières sont reproduites ici telles que Ruskin les fit graver d'après ses propres dessins et les secondes sont de nouveau accessibles dans une traduction entièrement nouvelle et complète qui montre l'ampleur du projet animant un jeune homme à l'époque davantage connu pour ses analyses picturales et sa défense du peintre Turner. Pour Ruskin, l'architecture est avant tout d'ordre sensible, elle s'adresse à l'homme auquel elle a chargé de donner un lieu au-delà du simple abri. Elle est donc symbolique, elle est matérielle et elle est historique, se déployant à travers tous les « domaines de l'homme » pour conduire :celui-ci à la pleine réalisation de ses potentialités créatrices et politiques.

This book is for anyone who enjoys engaging visually with the city.

Summary:
Our home is now in the city which is compacted and mixed up, which grows inwards and is renewed. We are returning to the historic city, to the modern city, to the post-industrial city, we are re-densifying the expansive city of the last decade. We are regenerating the narrow plots of the medieval urban grids, the 19th century urban extensions and the new-old cities of the 60s. We are returning to the built-up city driven by the need to save on resources, but this return cannot be a reluctant one. Density is Home echoes these types of city -dispersed, expansive, modern, the core of the city and the recycled city- through 37 projects on collective housing. 14 case studies have been extracted among them in order to analyze the desirable home.
