Summary:
A new manifesto from the Why Factory, “Porocity: Opening Up Solidity” makes a case for the intervention of the public realm into the private sphere of the city. The Why Factory raises a critique of the city as excessively closed off, and offers tools for the prying open and aerating of the city in such a way that is socially, environmentally and economically valuable to its citizens. How can we introduce pockets for encounters, for streams of circulation, for green areas, for tunnels of cooling? What structures can be imagined to allow for this openness? Creating grottos? Splitting towers? Twisting blocks? More than hypotheses, models and examples (as useful as these are), this book even proposes such tools as a computational means of calculating the degree of porosity of architecture, so that urban thinkers and urban doers can turn the critique upon their own cities.

Summary:
The cities and urban societies of America and Europe were subject to dramatic shifts of power in the 19th century: the founding of new nation-states, industrialization and the increased mobility that went along with these developments were accompanied by tremendous social changes. New parties strove to participate in shaping society and urban space. New ways of using the city not only promoted the physical expansion of the developing capitals and metropolises, but also required a new coding of existing urban structures to meet changing requirements and expectations about life and society. ''Recoding the City'' explores the intentions and claims of the protagonists who shaped the cities of the 19th century. Developed from a series of international research initiatives, ''Recoding the City'' examines this decisive moment in the history of the Western city and considers its continuing influence on our lives in the present day.

Summary:
Plants and architecture: two seemingly opposite elements. How can we combine them to plan future cities that are closer to nature? What synergies can we explore? Hortitecture seeks to discover the creative and construction potentials of vital plant material, and explores its applications in ecosystem services and urban food production. Through research at the intersections of architecture, biology and technology, IDAS (Institute for Design and Architectural Strategies) explores this topic with the aim of transferring the knowledge gained to the design of buildings. This book documents the projects, ideas and experiences shared by 33 international experts at symposia held at TU Braunschweig. Their critical reflections advance the awareness and expertise needed to develop a nature-based urban architecture.

Summary:
Kosovo’s Mitrovica is a divided city. The bridge separating the Serb North and the Albanian South is one of the emblematic sites in the ongoing dispute over Kosovo. Beneath this layer of ethno-political division and post-conflict reconstruction, however, lies the fascinating heritage of the city's rapid industrial and urban development under the Socialist Yugoslav ideological premises. "Layers of Time in the Urban Landscape" is a cooperative endeavor at the intersection of photography and history, aiming to document the overlaps in the socialist and post-conflict transformations of the city of Mitrovica.
