Internationally renowned and award-winning historian Dr. Robert Jan van Pelt's 'The Evidence Room' is a chilling exploration of the role architecture played in constructing Auschwitz-arguably the Nazis' most horrifying facility. 'The Evidence Room' is both a companion piece to, and an elaboration of, the upcoming exhibit at the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale and at the Canadian Center for Architecture, based on van Pelt's authoritative testimony against Holocaust denial in a 2000 libel suit argued before the Royal Courts of Justice in London.

Architects today do not use the glossy photographs of magazines in the same way that nineteenth-century architects mobilized the drawings in the grand folios.

Résumé:
'The Portfolio and the Diagram' is about the changing ways architects see, read, and use the words and images of architectural publications. Architects today do not use the glossy photographs of magazines in the same way that nineteenth-century architects mobilized the drawings in the grand folios. The images have changed, and so have the ways in which they are used. The discourse of the diagram provided a new range of possibility in the architect's relation to words, images, and buildings.

Résumé:
The Tower of Babel is known for its absence. A landmark of architectural self-doubt, it has survived not as a physical object but through its representation in text and image.

Résumé:
The Tower of Babel is known for its absence. A landmark of architectural self-doubt, it has survived not as a physical object but through its representation in text and image. But over the last century, the Tower has rematerialized in an enigmatic array of projects that invite reassessment. From Robert Koldewey’s excavations in Mesopotamia, to full-scale reassemblies in Berlin, surrogate reconstructions by Saddam Hussein, and mock ruins built in upstate New York for the US Department of Defense, Dugdale plots this story against the background of recent conflict in Iraq, presenting Babel as a vital challenge to the politics of architecture’s material presence.

Résumé:
Jonathan Crary's "Techniques of the observer" provides a dramatically new perspective on the visual culture of the nineteenth century, reassessing problems of both visual modernism and social modernity. This analysis of the historical formation of the observer is a compelling account of the prehistory of the "society of the spectacle."

Résumé:
In this series of overlapping essays on architecture and art, John Rajchman attempts to present theory in a new way that takes off from the philosophy of the late Gilles Deleuze. Starting from notions of folding, lightness, ground, abstraction, and future cities, he embarks on a conceptual voyage whose aim is to help "construct" a new space of connections, to "build" a new idiom, perhaps even to suggest a new architecture. Along the way, he addresses questions of the new abstraction, operative form, other geometries, new technologies, global cities, ideas of the virtual and the formless, and possibilities for critical theory after utopia and transgression. With a foreword by Paul Virilio.
