Summary:
Promiscuous Encounters, a day-long event organized by Francisco Díaz, Nina Valerie Kolowratnik, Marcelo López-Dinardi, and Marina Otero Verzier and held at the GSAPP in March 2012, examined the interplay between the critical, curatorial, and conceptual capacities of architecture by asking a diverse group of theorists and practitioners to discuss their modes of promiscuous practice. Challenging the way in which a symposium is commonly recorded, for the discussion between Keller Easterling, Andrés Jaque, Reinhold Martin, Mitch McEwen, Markus Miessen, Felicity D. Scott, Pelin Tan, Rodrigo Tisi, and Mark Wasiuta, neither audio nor video recordings were made.

Summary:
Cette exposition réunit quelque douze artistes vivants en Chine continentale, issus de différentes générations et choisis parmi la scène artistique. Investissant un large éventail de techniques et d'outils, relevant aussi bien d'une tradition et d'une culture locale que des nouvelles technologies internationales les plus pointues, ces artistes qui sont tout à la fois spectateurs et acteurs révèlent les contradictions et complexités d'une société en permanente mutation. Leurs oeuvres témoignent notamment de la transformation des rapports ville/campagne, manifestée par la nouvelle donne sur le terrain de l'économie, de l'écologie et par les questions d'identité. L'exposition propose ainsi un regard inédit sur la société chinoise contemporaine

Summary:
A beautifully illustrated book with distinctive maps dating back to the 16th Century, when New York was known as New Amsterdam and founded by the Dutch as a commercial trading post, right up to the present day. Mapping New York provides a pictorial history of the city – both documenting it as a leader in commerce and as one of the most built up urban areas in the world. This book focuses on maps from the 20th and 21st century, thematically arranged with maps on population, military, water, transport, commerce, crime, as well as planning and developing maps, and boundaries of the five boroughs. Featuring well known graphics such as the New York City subway map, artists’ representations include Claes Oldenburg’s Soft Manhattan #1: Postal Codes from 1966 and the poem, “Manhattan,” in the shape of the city by Howard Horowitz.

Summary:
In The Dutch Urban Block, Susanne Komossa uses typomorphological research to analyse the development of the Dutch urban block as an architectural model for the past four hundred years. The urban block is the link between city dwellers' everyday lives and the urban public realm. This amply documented study calls for the small-scale urban economy and the public realm to be treated as essential components of the city when new urban plans and models are developed.
