Here are uncanny, imaginative and downright blasphemous visions from the very guts of the Soviet atheist apparatus: sinister priests rub shoulders with cross-bearing colonial torturers, greedy mullahs, a cyclopean Jehovah and a crypto-fascist Jesus; Russian cosmonauts mock God from space while vigilant border guards nab American Bible smugglers. "Godless Utopia" is the occult grimoire of a lost socialist anti-theology.

Summary:
Architects on Architects is a collection of essays and interviews rooted in one fascinating premise: What do the architects of today have to say about their predecessors? Based on a series of lectures organized by the Department of Architecture at the Technical University of Munich, this volume explores how architects from previous generations have influenced present-day professionals in the field. The essays touch on the relevance of historical concepts as they have been transmitted across generations and the ways in which today’s architects have used—and at times reshaped—those concepts to suit contemporary needs. The stimulating discussions involve, among others, Arno Lederer on Sigurd Lewerentz, Hans Kollhoff on Oswald Mathias Ungers, Tom Emerson on Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Mario Botta on Louis I. Kahn and Carlo Scarpa, and Donatella Fioretti on Walter Gropius and László Maholy-Nagy.

Summary:
More high-rise residential buildings have been built in the last two decades than at any other time before. Even in Europe, where historically a typical city’s most prominent vertical accents came from chimneys and church steeples, towering buildings are increasingly shaping the urban landscape. In Vertical Europe, Andrea Glauser looks at new architectural trends in London, Paris, and Vienna, as well as the promises, desires, and fears associated with them in the minds of these cities’ residents. Her book is the first full-length sociological examination of the recent skyward growth in urban Europe, bringing together debates on high-rise architecture from fields including urban planning, geography, and art history. She contextualizes this vertical construction as an area wrought with tensions between these European cities’ desire to keep pace with global competition while still retaining the specific architectural qualities that have defined them for centuries.

We tend to think of war as being fought in specific, bounded places—war zones. But since the end of World War II, warfare has taken different forms, with the wars themselves often undeclared and their battlegrounds ill-defined. This book addresses that shift. ''War Zones'' examines the people, landscapes, and built environments that are subject to both the civil and(...)

But since the end of World War II, warfare has taken different forms, with the wars themselves often undeclared and their battlegrounds ill-defined. This book addresses that shift. ''War Zones'' examines the people, landscapes, and built environments that are subject to both the civil and military aims and control of armed conflicts today. From colonial or total war, asymmetric war or counterinsurgency to barricaded or besieged cities, refugee camps or borderlines, to nuclear bunkers or ''war ghosts,'' to states of emergency and drone warfare, these texts disclose the complicated spatial aspects and process of formation of war zones past and present.
