Summary:
Want to keep up with emerging design thinking and issues worldwide? "Design Studio" is a new thematic series that distils the most topical work and ideas from schools and practices globally. The first volume launches with a statement: "Everything needs to change". Exploring architecture and the climate emergency, editors Sofie Pelsmakers (author of Environmental Design Sourcebook) and Nick Newman (climate activist and Director at Studio Bark), are channelling the message of Greta Thunberg to inspire, enthuse and inform the next generation of architects. Featuring articles, building profiles and case studies from a range of leading voices, it explores solutions to climatic, environmental and social challenges. It urges readers to radically rethink what it means to be an architect in an era of climate crisis, and what the role of the architect is or can be. Discover how using local materials, working with nature, radical design processes, transformative learning and activism can help us find hope in the burning world. This first volume is produced in four unique fluorescent colours – green, red, yellow and purple – to be your own poster for change.

Summary:
The islands of Naoshima, Teshima, and Inujima in Japan's Seto Inland Sea are places of pilgrimage for friends of contemporary art and architecture. Alongside works in public spaces as well as site-specific installations, the islands are also full of numerous museums and collections of contemporary art. This publication offers a comprehensive documentation of this unique cultural landscape surrounded by Japan's Inland Sea. The photographs by the Dutch photographer Iwan Baan, ranging from tiny details to giant panoramas, create a comprehensive portrait of the islands with their fluid transitions between nature, art, and architecture. Numerous texts introduce readers to the individual areas and projects that are either permanently on display on the islands or have taken place there temporarily. In addition, other essays deal with the island as a cultural concept and phenomenon. Among others, the book presents buildings by Kazuyo Sejima, Ruye Nishizawa, Tadao Ando, and Hiroshi Sambuichi.

Summary:
An architectural view of one of the world's most dynamic and exciting cities. Shanghai's explosive development since the early 1990s has provided students and fans of architecture with myriad examples of superlatives: from the world's tallest buildings to its longest bridges. As timely as it is comprehensive, this collection of essays confronts the broader concerns of Shanghai's role as a harbinger of China's future and a global testing ground. The essays cover the socio-political, cultural, and historic aspects of the city as well as offer more pointed topical analyses of urban design, preservation, and the developments of the city's waterfronts. Throughout the book, color photographs and illustrations examine thirty ongoing and completed projects. The resulting overview presents a vibrant city of tension and contradiction, one that both mirrors and drives China's struggle to break free from economic constraints while adhering to its political ideals.

L'architecture flexible s'adapte aux nouveaux usages, répond au changement plutôt que de le rejeter, est mobile plutôt que statique. C'est un concept innovant, interdisciplinaire et multifonctionnel qui, par conséquent, se situe au cœur des questions de création contemporaine. Analyser comment elle est conçue, dessinée, faite et utilisée nous permet de comprendre sa capacité à résoudre les problèmes actuels et futurs, liés aux évolutions techniques, sociales et économiques. Flexible : une architecture pour répondre au changement explore dans son ensemble ce genre architectural établissant son arrière-plan historique, son potentiel dans le cadre de différents environnements domestiques ou urbains, ainsi que la conception, l'esthétique et la réalisation d'exemples contemporains significatifs. Traversant les frontières entre architecture, design de produits et architecture d'intérieur, cet ouvrage est le premier à traiter la totalité de ce champ de plus en plus dynamique et vital de la pratique architecturale.
