Résumé:
Uneternalcity is a multiplicity of projects performed by a dozen architects from around the world, some of them local, some from far away, that provoke a revelation of what Rome is and always has been, and what Rome has become and continually is becoming. If it is possible to figure it out and to re-imagine and reimage Rome the way it appears in our mind’s eye when we think of city, then we can make sense of any post-city urban landscape that is our new home in the world.

Résumé:
For this book, the Netherlands Architecture Institute selected 22 Dutch architecture firms with genuinely innovative ideas on these seven imperatives and the will to do something about them. The result is an agenda for the future of our living environment and a proof that designers have the creative power to make it happen. Architecture of Consequence proves that any notion that architecture should be an “expression of its time,” or should do no more than express the vanity of its commissioners, pales into insignificance when compared to its tremendous potential for resolving urgent societal problems.

Résumé:
For the tenth edition of the experimental magazine, a casually unspecific number of individuals were invited to describe their collaborative processes. The exact number is unknown, as contributors likely involved other guests as well in the process, or played multiple roles themselves. The focus is therefore on the behind-the-scenes moments implicit in any given collaboration, such as simultaneous improvisation due to long-distance communication among several people, and reveals experiences, anecdotes, decisions, results, negotiations, and so forth. Contributors include Yair Barelli, James Langdon, Anu Vahtra, Janna Meeus, Triin Tamm and many others.

Résumé:
The third volume in the series of urban readers centres around the term synergy and uses the internet as an artificial urban space connecting the makers and the contributors. This issue is team work. People who live in different cities, countries, and even continents work together without meeting in person. Synergies exist when different elements interact and produce a result that any individual part could not achieve alone. This book, as a combined whole aims at supporting the assumption that the generated synergy is more than just the sum of its parts.

As managing director of the London Underground in the 1920s and the first chief executive of London Transport, Frank Pick (1878–1941) had more influence than any other individual on the look of 20th-century London.

Résumé:
The medieval city of Braunschweig, in Germany s picturesque Hanz Mountains, received a utopian redesign during the new city movement of the 1930s. This abrupt change in the city s organization proved a starting point for photographer Bettina Lockemann's newest project. Lockemann's photographic images reveal streets too broad, disrupting the flow of space for any use other than driving, restricting the natural interaction of foot traffic and public contact. From the Periphery is a challenging body of work that explores architectural norms and stimulates the rethinking of our urban environments.
