Résumé:
"The City, Seen As a Garden of Ideas" is a survey of Cook’s career-long project to reinvigorate the city as we know it. A series of meditations on contemporary urban conditions in cities as diverse as Tokyo, Edinburgh, and Santa Monica, this volume also functions as an informal memoir in which Cook reveals the influences and motivations behind his works and recent projects. Included among the projects are housing at Lutzowplatz, Berlin; the winning competition design for the museum at Bad Deutsches Altenberg, Austria (both in collaboration with Christine Hawley); and the winning competition design for the Kunsthaus, a museum in Graz, Austria (in collaboration with Colin Fournier). Finally, a collection of projects and texts created especially for this monograph completes this presentation of Cook’s work.

Résumé:
Issue 10 of ''TOO MUCH: Magazine of Romantic Geography'' takes a deep dive into the idiosyncratic oeuvre of Schemata Architects. Founded in 1998 by Jo Nagasaka, Schemata is a Tokyo-based practice that works across architecture, interior and furniture design. Jo Nagasaka, the creative force behind Schemata Architects, introduces the concept of “pluralistic architecture,” emphasizing spaces continually shaped by diverse perspectives. Nagasaka’s deliberate embrace of open-ended designs allows for adaptation and even “misuse” of spaces, challenging traditional notions of architecture. This issue invites readers on a captivating tour of Schemata’s projects, both past and present, examining how Nagasaka’s pluralistic philosophy transforms preexisting spaces. The essence of “semi-architecture,” as manifested in Schemata’s intentionally understated works, starkly contrasts conventional architectural norms.

Résumé:
"Landscapes of play: A collection of imaginative spaces in Japan" is a self-published book exploring Japan’s unique and influential approach to outdoor play design, beginning with Mitsuru Senda’s pioneering of the “play apparatus” concept of the 1960s and extending to more contemporary play environments at the Showa Memorial Park in Tokyo. Through a combination of photography, research and personal reflections, it documents how these environments invite children and adults to play in ways that transcend conventional designs. The book also features a conversation with Norihiro Kanekiyo from Takano Landscape Planning —the office responsible for several of the projects in the book— which offers deep insight into their design approach to play and the role of nature in the conceptualization of these spaces.

Résumé:
Urban Toys chronicles Nadim Karam and Atelier Hapsitus’s recent creations of relief and rebellion in the city. Working out of Beirut, they make their own rules for urban art with work that is, in the words of Peter Cook, “unnervingly original.” Projects include groundbreaking work in post-war Beirut and post-Communist Prague, sculptures for the sidewalks of London and Tokyo, a poetic project in Todaiji temple in Nara, and the Sandridge Bridge project on the Yarra River for the opening of the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne in 2006. Their work in the creation of “dream pockets” has grown in importance, given the increasing number of cities that have to add violence and terror to the pressures of urban life.

The Winter 2017 issue features incisive commentary by critics and historians on recently completed buildings – from BIG’s VIA 57 West and WORKac’s 93 Reade Street in New York to Herzog & de Meuron’s Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg to Archi-Depot, a museum dedicated to architecture models in Tokyo. In addition, Michael Meredith, Valéry Didelon, and Eric Owen Moss contribute writing on the aesthetic of indifference, the history and future of OMA’s 1989 Euralille masterplan, and a pseudo-scripture for architects. In a special section, practitioners, critics, and activists address the possibility of architecture in the age of Trump.

Résumé:
Seeing cities around the globe in their larger environmental contexts, we begin to understand how the world shapes urban landscapes and how urban landscapes shape the world. Authors Karen Seto and Meredith Reba provide these revealing views to enhance readers’ understanding of the shape, growth, and life of urban settlements of all sizes—from the remote town of Namche Bazaar in Nepal to the vast metropolitan prefecture of Tokyo, Japan. Using satellite data, the authors show urban landscapes in new perspectives. The book’s beautiful and surprising images pull back the veil on familiar scenes to highlight the growth of cities over time, the symbiosis between urban form and natural landscapes, and the vulnerabilities of cities to the effects of climate change.

Résumé:
Although architecture alone cannot solve the problem of homelessness, the question arises: What and which roles can it play? How can architecture collaborate with other disciplines in developing ways to permanently house those who do not have a home? This volume seeks to explore and understand a reality that involves the expertise of national, regional, and city agencies, nongovernmental organizations, health-care fields, and academic disciplines. Through scholarly essays, interviews, analyses of architectural case studies, and research on the historical and current situation in Los Angeles, Moscow, Mumbai, New York, São Paulo, San Francisco, Shanghai, and Tokyo, this book unfolds different entry points toward understanding homelessness and some of the many related problems. The publication accompanies the exhibition “Who’s Next” by the Architekturmuseum München in Munich, Germany.

Résumé:
Surveillance cameras ensure our safety, antennae and sensors track the speed of our cars, while electronic gates decide who is to be granted access to an increasing number of delimited zones. The book charts this international trend, using case studies in Shanghai, Tokyo, London and Rio de Janeiro, as well as cities in the Netherlands. What are the consequences of an ultra-monitored society? When does the technology aid us and when does it restrict us? Who wields control over the technology? And who sits behind the contraptions that are tracking us? Expert authors tackle these questions and make recommendations for the future. Incorporating digital media into the book's design, tags make it possible to download supplementary information and videos via an Internet-capable mobile device.
