Summary:
The High Line, a new park atop an ele-vated rail structure on Manhattan’s West Side, is among the most innovative urban reclamation projects in memory. The story of how it came to be is a remarkable one: two young citizens with no prior experience in planning and development collaborated with their neighbors, elected officials, artists, local business owners, and leaders of burgeoning movements in horticulture and landscape architecture to create a park celebrated worldwide as a model for creatively designed, socially vibrant, ecologically sound public space. In this book, David and Hammond tell how they relied on skill, luck, and good timing: a crucial court ruling, an inspiring design contest, the enthusiasm of Mayor Bloomberg, the concern for urban planning issues following 9/11.

Summary:
Nature has always furnished stimulating ideas for the design of architecture, both vernacular and in the work of major architects. Inspired by Nature: Plants looks at how the plant world serves as a useful source of inspiration, whether intentional or inconscious, for great contemporary architecture. Accompanying the images of built examples, ranging from houses to hotels, schools, and commercial and industrial projects, are botanical drawings and an explanation of why natural forms make good models for structure. The visual analogies underline how architects can find elegant solution and create new, sustainable, and efficient architectonic forms by the close and unsderstanding observation of nature.

Summary:
Famous for its transparency, the Philip Johnson Glass House--the icon of modernism that Vincent Scully called "the most conceptually important house of the century"--has nonetheless proven vexingly opaque to interpretation. Its architect, Philip Cortelyou Johnson, has been equally elusive, a polarizing and influential cultural figure on whom no psychological character study yet exists. In her new book, Adele Tutter addresses both enigmas. ''Dream House: An Intimate Portrait of the Philip Johnson Glass House'' reveals how this superficially nonrepresentational physical structure encodes aspects of its architect’s aspirations, motivations, and conflicts--how it acts as a veritable self-portrait of his inner world.

Batia Suter's work intuitively situates found images in new contexts to provoke surprising reactions and significative possibilities. This volume follows on from the first Parallel Encyclopedia, published in 2007.

This volume follows on from the first Parallel Encyclopedia, published in 2007. Underlying themes of Suter's practice are the "iconification" and "immunogenicity" of old images, and the circumstances by which they become charged with new associative values. "In my work, I collect groups of images based on various themes and characteristics, and I investigate how they can manipulate each other, depending on where and how they are placed. In the process of making this book, narrative lines unfolded before my eyes as I shifted images around."

Beginning with an interrogation of what it means to fight fascism, Natasha Lennard explores the limits of individual rights, the criminalization of political dissent, the myths of radical sex, and the ghosts in our lives. At once politically committed and philosophically capacious, ''Being numerous'' is a revaluation of the idea that the personal is political, and situates as the central question of our time—How can we live a non-fascist life?

First, it investigates their work together with two design-focused consulting firms, endeavour (Antwerp) and Denkstatt (Basel), wherein all three explore the boundaries of architecture, advocating openness and dialogue with clients and users as opposed to autonomy and monologue. The book’s second part examines the hidden presence of this 'design in dialogue' approach in a wide range of European architecture firms and their projects, illustrating how this can create productive momentum and foster engagement.

By unearthing and presenting the large-scale project of building more than 350 cooperative centres that began 70 years ago, it reveals how these centres have seen changes in the political and economic system, taken on new uses, shaped local communities, and remain relevant today. A closer look at this history provides a better understanding of indoor public spaces as social infrastructure that fosters interaction, communication, and empowerment.

These many and various times do not merely exist in parallel with one another, simultaneously. Rather, they interconnect and are brought to bear on the same present, forming a sort of planetary present, and—at least in principle—a global sharing of time, although one not shared equally. Jacob Lund explores how the conditions for politically engaged art and aesthetic practice, for questioning the present, have changed in recent decades, while considering how our historical present and its temporal quality differ significantly from previous presents.
