Résumé:
Traditions: The ‘Real’, the Hyper, and the Virtual in the Built Environment is a continuation of Nezar AlSayyad’s engagement with the subject of tradition in the built environment. In it he attempts to unsettle the belief that tradition is simply a product of history and transmission. Without dismissing the parallels between history and tradition, he argues that normative discourses which conceive of tradition as a place-based, temporally situated concept, as a static authoritative legacy of a past, and as a heritage owned by certain groups of people can no longer be sustained in the present moment of globalization.

In this volume, the German architect Oda Pälmke demonstrates that the most expressive sides of houses are not always those that were originally designed as façades. Pälmke has established herself as a connoisseur of the overlooked and the ordinary in architecture, as her previous volume, Quite Good Houses, demonstrates. Here, she asks the viewer to imagine seemingly unspectacular side walls and temporary modifications as the faces of buildings, locating a wealth of possibilities in the marginal and the incomplete.

Résumé:
Internationally acclaimed Dutch architect Herman Hertzberger (born 1932), an early proponent and practitioner of the so-called school of "structuralism" (sustainable buildings that can evolve to meet their users' changing needs), invited colleagues and students to reflect on the future of architecture. In the resulting book, Hertzberger, Anna Heringer, Jean-Philippe Vassal and other contributors champion architecture that is low-impact and adaptable. They call for structures that place human comfort and functionality above decoration and egotistical statements.
