Résumé:
Throughout the ages architects have attempted to capture the essence of living systems as design inspiration. However, practitioners of the built environment have had to deal with a fundamental split between the artificial urban landscape and nature owing to a technological 'gap' that means architects have been unable to make effective use of biological systems in urban environments. This edition of AD that shows for the first time that contemporary architects can create and construct architectures that are bottom up, synthetically biological, green and have no recourse to shallow bio-mimicry. In the next few decades, synthetic biology is set to have as much, if not more, impact on architecture as cyberspace and the digital. The key to these amazing architectural innovations is the Protocell. Contributors include: Rachel Armstrong; Martin Hanczyc; Lee Cronin; Mark Morris Architects include: Neil Spiller; Nic Clear; IwamotoScott; Paul Preissner; Omar Khan;Dan Slavinsky; Philip Beesley; Neri Oxman

This issue of AD explores the resurgence of ecological strategies in architectural imagination. As a symptom of a new sociopolitical reality inundated with environmental catastrophes, sudden climatic changes, garbage-packed metropolises and para-economies of nonrecyclable e-waste, environmental consciousness and the image of the earth re-emerges, after the 1960s, as an inevitable cultural armature for architects; now faced with the urgency to heal an ill-managed planet that is headed towards evolutionary bankruptcy.

Résumé:
Prefabricated, refurbished or built on site, the dozen houses featured here adopt different technological solutions, expressed with special rigor through the construction details viewed as an intelligent synthesis of architecture and industry, of drawing and thought. Centred on these aspects of the project, this issue goes from the bare and strict concrete of the 1+1=1 House in Madrid to the wavy and folded one of the House in San Vicente del Raspeig; from the abstract purity of the Moliner House in Zaragoza to the material eclecticism of the Zafra-Uceda House in Madrid, the Never Never Land House in Ibiza, or the House for a Swimmer in Murcia. Architects included in this issue are Eduardo Arroyo, Alberto Campo Baeza, Izaskun Chinchilla, Ferrater & Martí, Juan Herreros, Andrés Jaque, Martín Lejarraga and others.

Résumé:
Architects’ offices are environments where new architecture is born. Especially now, many architects are trying new approaches in response to developments like environmental requirements, improved construction technology, and the acceleration and diversification of communication and design technology, all of which have led to a search for new design styles. An architect’s office, where these trends can be seen in concentrated form, is an expression of an attitude taken toward architecture. Offices include Studio Mumbai in Alibag, Peter Märkli Architects in Zurich, Atelier Bow-Wow in Tokyo, WOHA Architects in Singapore, SeARCH in Amsterdam, Import. Export Architecture in Antwerp, junya.ishigami+associates in Tokyo, Mass Studies in Seoul, Tryptique in São Paulo, Kerry Hill Architects in Fremantle, BIG in Copenhagen and others.

Résumé:
The idea of the pluriform city seems more current than ever. Society was still homogeneous 50 years ago; today highly divergent modes of life and culture are all seeking a place within our cities. DASH 5. The Urban Enclave is the product of an investigation into large-scale housing projects in the inner city, both historical and contemporary. This calls for a city with differences of its own, distinctive parts in which like-minded people can find one another, connected to the greater whole, but without imposing anything on others. The recent focus on regeneration within the existing city – especially on a mass scale – offers perspectives in this regard. In many cities in the Netherlands (and elsewhere) abandoned industrial and commercial premises or outmoded residential areas are being redeveloped. The usually sizable scale of these areas creates a (housing) construction challenge that can contribute to the needed differentiation within the city In DASH 5 The Urban Enclave Dirk van den Heuvel and Lara Schrijver examine divergent ideas related to large scales and the city in their essays, based on the work of Piet Blom and Oswald Matthias Ungers, respectively. Dick van Gameren and Pierijn van der Putt look into the underlying typologies of the urban enclave. Elain Harwood analyses the evolution of the notorious Barbican in London, and Christopher Woodward charts the creation, in the same city 200 years previously, of the Adelphi, often cited as the inspiration for the Barbican. In an interview, architect and urban designer Rob Krier expounds on the historical models he uses for his urban renewal projects. DASH stands for Delft Architectural Studies on Housing Design. The series aims to make an international contribution to residential design from a Dutch perspective. DASH is published twice a year in association with the Chair of Architecture and Dwelling at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft).

Résumé:
In recent decades models have made a contribution to architectural discourse that should not be underestimated. Christophe Van Gerrewey considers the models in OMA’s oeuvre and ascertains that OMA’s models always take on a life of their own, turning into ‘a realisation of what architecture promises, yet can never attain itself’. For example, the two plaster models of the Très Grande Bibliothèque in Paris afforded new insights into a space that can be read both as mass and as counter-mass, while the model of the cruise terminal in Zeebrugge exemplified the power of the iconic form. OASE 84 devotes considerable attention to (architectural) models that play an important part in the work of various artists as well, like in the work of Mike Kelley and Thomas Demand. These models are hardly ever meant to be realised on a different scale elsewhere; they work with the dualistic connotations of the model directly. Although the two disciplines have markedly different motives for using models, we are confident that the cross-pollination brought about here will generate novel insights about the model’s significance and possibilities. With contributions by Jacob Bil, Adam Caruso, Thomas Demand, Job Floris, Kersten Geers, Christophe Van Gerrewey, Anne Holtrop, Christian Hubert, Junya Ishigami, Krijn de Koning, Véronique Patteeuw, Bas Princen, Hans Teerds, Milica Topalovic and Stefaan Vervoort OASE is an independent, international journal published in Dutch and English that features architecture, urban design and landscape design. Each issue is devoted to a topical theme and thus makes a significant contribution to international discourse within these fields. OASE is published three times a year
