Many of these welfare state programmes - housing, schools, new towns, cultural and leisure centres – involved not just construction but a new approach to architectural design, in which the welfare objectives of these state-funded programmes were delineated and debated. The impact on architects and architectural design was profound and far-reaching, with welfare state projects moving centre-stage in architectural discourse not just in Europe but worldwide.

Proposing a new way of understanding the relationship between the city and personal identity, The City is Me argues that there is no longer a distance between the two. The result of extensive research about our notions of the city and the person throughout time, this volume explores the technology, research findings, and new ideas that have made it impossible to sustain conceptions of the city that are based on the criterion of a boundary. Showing how this shift mirrors the decentralization and fragmentation of personal identity in a globalized world, Rosane Araujo confronts the challenge of rethinking urbanism in a way that corresponds to the risk and uncertainty--but also to the possibilities--of today's cities.

Design, atmosphere, and usage can make every new building relate to its local surroundings. As a design process, this contextual expansion does not simply imitate the urban pattern, but also interprets what is already there, to some extent modernizes it, makes the familiar alien by employing unusual atmospheric imagery, and ultimately transforms the accumulated chaos of soloists into an orchestrated whole.

Summary:
In this radical book, architects, historians, and theorists survey the inventive, low cost work being done in obscure places to make architecture into a force for sustainable growth and social justice. The efforts are Utopian not charitable in aim. This new breed of architect-activists is endeavoring to diversify if not reinvent their profession by engaging in an "exchange" of ideas, techniques, and visions of right living with people almost always relegated to silence and invisibility. The book opens with a range of theoretical essays, each specially commissioned, from "the site of the social" in architecture to John Hejduk's legacy, as well as five ways to change the world with Chris Marker's films. Subsequent essays form a field guide to "exchange" projects from Harlem to Port-au-Prince to Serekunda and Indore, a few still unbuilt, all virtually unknown to students of architecture. Jae Cha, Peter Clegg, Simón Vélez, and famed modernist Balkrishna Doshi demonstrate the benefits of easily found and/or scavenged materials, including bamboo. Other essays present varied alternatives to ghettoizing large groups in bleak housing complexes and urban "deserts" in architecture.

Wood was essential to the survival of the Venetian Republic. To build its great naval and merchant ships, maintain its extensive levee system, construct buildings, fuel industries, and heat homes, Venice needed access to large quantities of oak and beech timber.

Summary:
Wood was essential to the survival of the Venetian Republic. To build its great naval and merchant ships, maintain its extensive levee system, construct buildings, fuel industries, and heat homes, Venice needed access to large quantities of oak and beech timber. A Forest on the Sea explores the history of this enterprise and Venice's efforts to extend state control over its natural resources. Karl Appuhn explains how Venice went from an isolated city completely dependent on foreign suppliers for wood to a regional state with a sophisticated system of administering and preserving forests. This publication offers a completely novel perspective on how Renaissance Europeans thought about the natural world. It sheds new light on how cultural conceptions about nature influenced political policies for resource conservation and land management in Venice.

Summary:
Frédéric Metz explique comment le design influence notre vie quotidienne, souvent à notre insu. Pour mieux en saisir la définition, il présente des exemples concrets puisés dans notre environnement. Ainsi, en regardant de près une banale tasse blanche, on découvre qu'il y a 50 ans un designer réputé a pensé à ajouter en dessous trois petites encoches qui facilitent l'égouttement complet de l'eau à la sortie du lave-vaisselle. Une amélioration à peine perceptible qui montre que le bon design repose fréquemment sur d'infimes détails. Ces petites idées ingénieuses, basées sur de la simple logique, font toute la différence. Or, s'il y a de bons designs, il y a aussi de mauvais designs. Qui n'a pas cherché le bouton de sortie dans un ascenseur alors que la marche à suivre devrait être claire au premier coup d'oil ? Partout des indications contradictoires ou indéchiffrables nous font commettre des erreurs. Que ce soit un mode d'emploi, un panneau de signalisation ou un site web, les directives devraient être simples afin de nous procurer une expérience sans souci plutôt que frustrante. Résolument moderne, le design vise le travail bien fait, indémodable, intemporel, car un emballage attirant, un logo remarquable ou un objet conçu intelligemment ne perdent jamais de leur valeur.
