Résumé:
How can our urban jungles be transformed into skyscraper forests that help our cities provide new forms of sustenance, from urban farms to breathing buildings? The topic is increasingly in the public eye, and the answer is already cropping up on our streets. Garden City captures the growing global movement among contemporary architects for biodesigning buildings that are less structure and façade, more living entities, capable of being ecologically autonomous, horticulturally productive, and both pleasing to the eye and relevant to our day-to-day lifestyles.

Résumé:
If there is something in architecture that is difficult to describe then it is space, but it is in the spatial quality of architecture and its use that its essence is encapsulated. There is, however, surprising little evidence of this in current architectural debate, because of all the consideration for visual appearance. In "Revisions of space", architect Dick van(...)

Résumé:
If there is something in architecture that is difficult to describe then it is space, but it is in the spatial quality of architecture and its use that its essence is encapsulated. There is, however, surprising little evidence of this in current architectural debate, because of all the consideration for visual appearance. In "Revisions of space", architect Dick van Gameren shows how the spatial quality of architecture is connected with densification and programmatic diversity: in buildings, around buildings and in the urban context. He does this by using a selection of unusual historic examples and his own work. The book could be described as a manual for architecture - how one can look at architecture and how, as a designer, to deal with it - as well as a personal appeal for more consideration for one of the essential components of architecture. Thanks to the choice of historical examples, this book can also be read as an unconventional cross-section of the history of architecture.

Résumé:
Sounds belong to the City. They determine spaces and identities. For years, artists have been using city noises as a material to stage or to question urban space - new territory, however, for most architects and planners within the routines of functional planning rocedures. Tuned City: Between Sound and Space Speculation searches for a new evaluation of architectural spaces from the perspective of acoustics. This volume presents various positions of architects, artists and theorists to expand the architectural discourse with the dimension of listening.

Résumé:
For the first time, this book gives a comprehensive account of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s urban projects. It presents preparatory drawings, collages and models for many little-known works from the artists’ early career, some of which were never carried out, such as the planned wrapping of several New York City skyscrapers, as well as the spectacular large-scale projects of later years, such as the wrapping of the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris in 1985, the wrapping of the Reichstag building in Berlin in 1995 and the 2005 installation The Gates in New York’s Central Park. In two detailed essays, the authors of the book explore Christo’s extraordinary talent for drawing and investigate the artists’ ambivalent perspective on urban space, which oscillates between a powerful critique of the city’s impersonal modernism and a tribute to the liberal, democratic use of urban areas.
