Résumé:
When departments within an organisation fail to share information with each other, the popular term is “silo mentality”. Universities also suffer from this phenomenon, with learning and research in one field literally walled off from others. But architecture can create a very different environment: transparent, flexible, interactive. The magazine examines ''UCL East Marshgate'', designed by Stanton Williams, and the Faculty of Arts at Warwick University by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios as excellent examples. Also in this issue, a special feature on the Chilean practice of Pezo von Ellrichshausen and new work by Snøhetta, Wallmarkers, Peter Pichler Architecture, Atelier FCJZ, and more.

Résumé:
The company town, source of so much of Canada's wealth, was-and is-a place with nowhere to hide. First published in 1971, Rex Lucas's Minetown, Milltown, Railtown is a groundbreaking study of what it's like to live in such communities. Today, with the oil-sands boom and rising commodity prices affecting everything from the value of the Canadian dollar to the balance of power within Confederation, single-industry towns remain as central as ever to the country's economic and social life. Minetown is a compelling portrait not just of Canada's past, but of its present and future, too.
