Résumé:
For more than thirty years, aerial photographer Alex S. MacLean has portrayed the history and evolution of the American land, from great desert spaces to agricultural patterns to city grids. Trained as an architect and having a close involvement with landscape heritage protection issues, MacLean’s pictures record the universal history of town and countryside, and raise the issue of the landscape’s future. Here he turns his camera on the colourful, exhilarating world of America at play. From the beauty of perfectly symmetric sports stadiums to the spaghetti-like tangles of theme parks to picnickers on a stretch of splendid beach, he illuminates how we inhabit the land and the potential for modern planning to create spectacular environments. Susan Yelavich contributes the telling introduction.

Résumé:
"In China, we like to sit around a big round table for dinner. We place our dishes on a big spinning disk in the center of the table so that we can all reach the food. Everyone, whether or not he or she has anything to say, and every discussion, whether it is important or not, has an equal place around the table. We hope to have such a dinner and to invite to our table(...)

Résumé:
"In China, we like to sit around a big round table for dinner. We place our dishes on a big spinning disk in the center of the table so that we can all reach the food. Everyone, whether or not he or she has anything to say, and every discussion, whether it is important or not, has an equal place around the table. We hope to have such a dinner and to invite to our table those who don't usually come together in real life to share their experiences, opinions, and observations. Their concerns are really also our concerns." Mad Dinner MAD is a Beijing-based studio that has won numerous international design competitions, including the Absolute Tower in Toronto. Divided thematically, the book looks at MADs designs to illustrate the freedoms and limitations of the worlds fastest growing urbanization. It explores idealism and free market realities, the role of the media and cultural icons, enacting change in Chinas political landscape, and projects for environmental protection. A journalistic approach with a series of interviews reconnects architecture to the daily cultural landscape: A taxi driver speaks on China's economy, a doctor describes his ideal architecture.

Résumé:
This book presents innovative examples of hidden architecture: buildings that are designed to disappear into their surroundings or hide in plain sight. In the city, hidden buildings are often designed to provide the occupants with privacy and protection from the busy world outside or they can be incorporated into the streetscape to free up space for public use. In the countryside, buildings should not spoil a scenic landscape, so they can be designed to become a part of it. Buildings can be buried underground, hidden amongst trees, covered with greenery or even sunk into the sea. They can be clad in mirrors to reflect their surroundings, disappear beneath an urban plaza or be hidden from view on top of another building. Each of these imaginative solutions offers a way for architecture to blend in rather than stand out. ''Hidden architecture'' tells the stories of projects from around the world that are cleverly disguised but still beautifully detailed and outstanding in their execution.
