Résumé:
Perennial challenges for urban planning include the problems and the potential of old urban neighborhoods in large cities. This second volume of Design Academy Eindhoven's smartly edited new urban design journal takes on the Dapperbuurt neighborhood in Amsterdam - which has a well-known public market, but needs a face-lift and public safety improvements - as a case study. Urban design students have come up with a constellation of interesting proposals to give Dapperbuurt a new identity. The perfect-bound journal includes texts by experts on the theme of urban space, research materials, photos of the neighborhood and its residents, schematics and drawings, and scale models.

Résumé:
Change is an inherent feature of any city. As the wide-reaching and complex research conducted for this publication illustrates, this can challenge the rational distribution of functions in the urban space and provide temporary occupation for all sorts of purposes and activities. Here, ‘Occasional Urbanities’ refers to change brought about by the growing complexity of urban societies which sees new forms or urbanism and urban aesthetics arising that at the same time pose new problems for a city. While the term, ‘Post-it’ highlights the moveable aspects of the contemporary urban terrain that gives rise to these mutations – fleeting occupations, accumulation and re-location of objects and travelling micro-communities.

Résumé:
Consumption stands at the intersection of different spheres of everyday life : between the public and the private, the political and the personal, the individual and the social. It is considered to be a means and motor of social change; as an active ingredient in the construction of space and place, and in constructing subjectivity and social selfhood. Providing a(...)

Résumé:
Consumption stands at the intersection of different spheres of everyday life : between the public and the private, the political and the personal, the individual and the social. It is considered to be a means and motor of social change; as an active ingredient in the construction of space and place, and in constructing subjectivity and social selfhood. Providing a critical review of the ways in which urban development has been conceptualized, "Cities and Consumption" critiques urban regeneration initiatives, examines ordinary and spectacular consumption and describes the relationship between consumption and development of the modern and post-modern city. Consumption is understood to have multiple roles as a political, economic and cultural touchstone, and to be an active ingredient in the construction of place and space.

Résumé:
With the evolution of digital and material technologies, Japanese designers and architects are seeking ways to reverse the wholesale destruction of traditional public space in Japan brought about by industrialisation, automobiles, and Western-style concrete and steel interventions. Japanese public spaces (hiroba, or wide open areas), human-scale spaces traditionally fashioned of warm and renewable materials, are making a comeback thanks to technological breakthroughs in glass and non-flammable woods that allow the expression of highly refined and delicate qualities. Includes an essay by Kengo Kuma and numerous exemplary projects.

Résumé:
EUROPAN, founded in 1989, and supported by thirteen countries in the European Union, runs a competition every two years and invites young architects to submit innovative and experimental models in urban development. The 2019 EUROPAN competition focused on the topic productive cities and involved more than nine hundred planning teams from all over Europe, who prepared proposals for forty-seven towns. This book features the twelve winning submissions to the 2019 edition for the Austrian cities Graz, Innsbruck, Villach, Weiz, and Vienna. They are presented in impeccable detail through photos, drawings, and visualizations, along textual commentary. The projects focus on architectural and urban planning interventions and processes. They offer innovative concepts for the use of public space, models for cross-functional use of space, and holistic solutions for sustainable construction. Taken as a whole, the book is a rich source of trendsetting ideas about our future cities and the development of a new urban lifestyle.

Homa Farjadi's recent work reveals a consistent, reflective grasp on the role of design in shaping public space within our changing cities. In these projects, there is a sense of public space where citizens or users of the sites construct their own spaces while experiencing them. These architectures and landscapes incorporate spatial vectors, tensions, lines of flow, all interwoven within the historic and current urban context, resulting in design that appears as a still snapshot within a complex system of movement.

Résumé:
In this book, Edwin Heathcote looks at the cultural impact of street furniture using photography as a measure of how these things have become indispensable components of the cityscape. Based mainly in and on London – but including New York, Paris and Budapest – Heathcote uses history, personal reflection and the lenses of photographers to examine the status of these urban artefacts in both the contemporary imagination and the city streets themselves. It looks at the changing landscape of the cityscape and the way in which street furniture has been adapted to address new technologies, the culture of surveillance and shifts in taste, orthodoxy and material culture. On the Street looks at the language of street furniture reflected through the gaze of photography and contemporary culture. It is a book about the elements of the streetscape which can exert an increasing impact on our interaction with the cities we inhabit.

Résumé:
Working collaboratively for the past ten years, Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber focus on the field of architecture and urbanism, exploring the conditions of urban life in relation to the distribution of power. They investigate the possibility of visually interpreting and critically commenting on urban and architectural structures in terms of their potential for extensive social change. In "Caracas, Hecho en Venezuela" Bitter and Weber question the way in which the modernist promise of shaping the city and social space has been transformed due to shifts in urban, national, and global economies and politics. They examine how architecture, urban structures and entire territories in Caracas have been appropriated, "reterritorialized", and transformed by the people who live in them.

Résumé:
Danish artist and urban activist Jakob Kolding makes collages that ask: "Who built your neighborhood? For whom was it built? Who uses the space?" This is a visual and verbal dialogue on the dense urban landscapes familiar throughout the globe. Through essays, poignant collages of appropriated comic book images and black-and-white photos with text, Kolding makes it clear that urban planning has failed miserably, creating concrete corridors that are veritable holding tanks for the masses. But he also finds the spark of human spirit rising through youth street culture, pop music, and skateboarding. A definite reality check on architecture and urban planning! Essays by Stephen Graham, Simon Marvis, Iain Borden and Doreen Massey.
