Résumé:
In the wake of recent failures in America's urban infrastructure, an emerging group of activist designers are calling on architects to rethink their relationship to the city. For them, the future of the American city lies not in modernism's large-scale master plans or new urbanism's nostalgic community planning. Instead, they favor working with the realities of urban space, finding hidden opportunities in what already exists in our cities; they eschew monolithic, top-down approaches. Fast-Forward Urbanism presents a mixture of essays, opinions, and design projects by well-known architects and theorists including Stan Allen, Will Alsop, Lars Lerup, and Keller Easterling. Equal parts theory and practice, their ideas lay the groundwork for the next American metropolis.

Résumé:
In 1988 Design Gallery Milano started its business by displaying the exhibition “Bharata” by Ettore Sottsass (with exhibition planning by Michele De Lucchi). Since then, Design Gallery produced hundreds of objects – few of which in more than some dozens copies – that had in common the aim of going beyond the conventional standards of the market circulation. Even if autonomous and independent from the classic industrial market, Design Gallery is a structural phenomenon in the dynamic system of design, since it represents its complementary avant-garde. Through its interpretation of design, conceived as a discipline rather than a profession – research rather than product – Design Gallery marked in fact a story of radical creativity and unbroken experimentation. This book presents through images and words the history of Design Gallery and outlines the philosophy of its development over the past twenty years. The first part of the book features photographs of the Design Gallery warehouse, taken by Michele De Lucchi in the Autumn of 2009. Published in the second part are the texts gathered together during a lunch at Michele De Lucchi’s office on 30th October 2009 with Andrea Branzi, Michele De Lucchi, Brunella and Mario Godani, Alessandro Mendini. The photographs of the objects were chosen from Design Gallery’s historical archives, and are the work of photographers who have followed and encouraged the Gallery’s work. Lastly, the chronology at the end of the book gives the fullest possible details of the Gallery’s annual collections, produced by groups or individual designers and artists.

Résumé:
German artist Kitty Kraus applies a Minimalist formal vocabulary to humble, elegiac materials that suggest an active engagement with alchemical transformations. Utilizing household glass, light bulbs, cloth and ice, Krauss explores a trajectory of dissolution in contemporary materials, finding a melancholic beauty in the literal and symbolic failure of form.

Résumé:
A massive reduction in population and collosal overhaul of economic structure have presented enormous challenges for the people of east Germany over the past 20 years. As part of the International Building Exhibition Urban Redevelopment 2010, 19 towns and cities in the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt have implemented a series of innovative projects and formulated proposals as to how the ever-shrinking towns and cities of east Germany could be redesigned to accommodate their present status. This book provides a general view of the methods, methodology and results of this investigation. A historical review of the urban developments of the last two decades show the causes of urban reduction and the IBA's earliest solutions, and three scenarios on the themes of town, landscape and climate outline questions and possible developments for Saxony-Anhalt up to the year 2050. With the IBA, Saxony-Anhalt has also instigated a laboratory for the city of tomorrow, to sustain this project well into the future.

Résumé:
In San Francisco many theaters built between 1910 and 1950 are still standing, and some even remain in operation, serving as poignant reminders of Hollywood's Golden Age and the social interactions that once came with movie-going. R.A. McBride's lush color photographs--made with film cameras, of course--showcase these temples to celluloid in all their threadbare grandeur. Photographed empty, the buildings' architectural qualities, from rotunda chandeliers and warmly glowing walls to drab lobbies and worn armrests, come to the fore. Essays by scholars and film exhibitors including Rebecca Solnit, Julie Lindow, Eddie Muller, Chi-Hui Yang and Gary Meyer cast light from personal and scholarly perspectives, examining the movie houses' roles as characters in the cultural drama of the city.
