Summary:
"TransUrbanism" describes how our cities enter a new 'atmospheric phase.' The city and its borders blur ; it is no longer a material object of which one can easily situate. The city's substance is hardly material/architectural anymore. Public squares, market places, the layout of streets seem irrelevant to how the city is experienced. "TransUrbanism" aims at a conscious(...)

The city's substance is hardly material/architectural anymore. Public squares, market places, the layout of streets seem irrelevant to how the city is experienced. "TransUrbanism" aims at a conscious practice : how can writers, artists and urban developers define new methods for inventing our future cities? "TransUrbanism" contains interviews, essays and art projects by : Arjun Appadurai, Rem Koolhaas, Knowbotic Research, Scott Lash, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Brett Steele, Edward Soja, Lars Spuybroek, Roemer van Toorn and Mark Wigley.

Summary:
As defined by the great art writer John Ruskin more than 150 years ago, "vital beauty" denotes an aesthetic of "sympathies"--that is, a beauty that embodies and demonstrates affinity with sentience in all its forms. Ruskin effectively liberated beauty from classical perfectionism by envisaging a world of currents and forces, rather than immobile ideals, and by celebrating(...)

Summary:
As defined by the great art writer John Ruskin more than 150 years ago, "vital beauty" denotes an aesthetic of "sympathies"--that is, a beauty that embodies and demonstrates affinity with sentience in all its forms. Ruskin effectively liberated beauty from classical perfectionism by envisaging a world of currents and forces, rather than immobile ideals, and by celebrating nature's abundant diversity. Today, this wonderful conception requires some rethinking, since sentience now encompasses technological as well as organic entities--raising the question of how we should design our environments, our objects and even our lives. In "Vital Beauty," leading philosophers, anthropologists, theorists and artists Thierry Bardini, Joke Brouwer, Gustav Fechner, Mark Frost, George Gessert, Tim Ingold, Arjen Mulder, Daniel N. Stern, Lars Spuybroek, Caroline Van Eck, Wendy Steiner and Ruskin himself examine what this idea of beauty might mean for their respective disciplines.

Summary:
In the next few years, emerging practices in interactive architecture are set to transform the built environment. Whereas 'smart' design was once regarded as the preserve of museum exhibit or Jumbotrom advertising screens, 'multi-mediated' interactive design has now entered every domain of public and private life. As a spatial medium, interactive design is revolutionising and reinventing our homes, as well as our work and leisure spaces. Essays and interviews by international commentators Lucy Bullivant, guest editor of the issue, Ole Bouman, Antonino Saggio, Stefano Mirti and Walter Aprile and Mike Weinstock on the cultural issues raised by the emergence of interactive architecture will be complemented with features on acclaimed practitioners Christian Moller, Tobi Schneidler, Ron Arad and Jason Bruges. Benchmark interactive projects in this issue evolving new models of interdisciplinary teamwork include The Media House, led by Metapolis, IaaC and the MIT Media Lab and projects conceived at the Interactive Institute, Ivrea, Italy. New work is also featured by KDa/Toshio Iwai; realities: united, Usman Haque, Adam Somlai-Fischer, Ben Rubin and Mark Hansen, Lars Spuybroek and the Institute of Neuro-Informatics, ETH, Zurich, Kitchen Rogers Design; IDEO, and Tom Barker, b consultants/SmartSlab.
