Résumé:
This book is based on a conference sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts with the Woodrow Wilson Center concerning strategies for the reuse of dead malls in America's first-ring suburbs. Originally celebrated as community centers, the substantial commercial success of the early suburban shopping center was fleeting, as subsequent generations of ever-larger malls have left behind a landscape of struggling and boarded- up shells. This pervasive condition is presented in the context of the history of public space and the shopping mall. The book includes essays by Robert Fishman, Benjamin Barber and Margaret Crawford and innovative projects for the strip and mixed-use developments by such architects as RoTo, Lewis, Tsurumaki, Lewis, ShoP and Gary Handel + Associates. A roundtable with developers and bankers on obstacles to the redevelopment of failed shopping centers is also included. The review of case studies and projective work is intended to foster a more serious examination of new models for making and using public space.

Résumé:
City planning is a concept which usually covers the wide range of events, processes and developments taking place in our cities, but individual plans and designs cannot do justice to the complex realities of the city. In "Induction Cities" the author aims to take the reader beyond our traditional understanding of city design to redefine our perception of design in this(...)

Résumé:
City planning is a concept which usually covers the wide range of events, processes and developments taking place in our cities, but individual plans and designs cannot do justice to the complex realities of the city. In "Induction Cities" the author aims to take the reader beyond our traditional understanding of city design to redefine our perception of design in this context. With the assistance of computers, a dynamic mechanism will be created which generates a result corresponding to the specific conditions and requirements stipulated. By this form of "meta-design" a greater degree of freedom is obtained than the conventional design methods provide. In this publication, this new theory and process is analysed, looking at the first computer-generated architecture in the world, the underground station "lidabashi" in Tokyo.

Résumé:
With increasing intensity, CAAD (Computer Aided Architectural Design) is determining the daily work of today's architectural offices. Computers allow complex designs to be visualised and altered with great speed and accuracy; three-dimensional models can be created with simulation and animation possibilities, and links to the World Wide Web provide access to a flow of information. The author develops his thesis that these aspects do not just enable the creative process to be optimised in a quantitative sense but also qualitatively. Alongside the spatial and time dimensions, the new electronic possibilities provide a fifth dimension in architecture.

Résumé:
This palm-sized book presents two of the most innovative structures of the modern age (and two of the most important art museums)in one package. The book highlights the New York Guggenheim, Frank Lloyd Wright's crowning achievement, and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, recently designed to high acclaim by Frank O. Gehry. One half of the book contains 30 duotone photographs of the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. These images were taken in 1959, shortly after the building's completion, by Ezra Stoller, one of the pre-eminent architectural photographers in the world and the founder of the renowned Esto architectural photography studio. Flipping the book over reveals the other half, which consists of 34 colour images of the Bilbao Museum, taken by Jeff Goldberg, an Esto architectural photographer and winner of the 1999 Institute Honors for Collaborative Achievement from the American Institute of Architects.
