Résumé:
The magazine takes a moment to reflect on the point of connection between water, architecture, and people. Spanning six Nordic countries, the nineteen projects featured in this issue explore diverse pursuits, from the rehabilitation of industrial ports into lively urban centres, to questions of accessibility and the extension of habitable space onto and into bodies of water. Examples such as Lonna Sauna in Helsinki by OOPEAA and Bademaschinen in Oslo by ACT! and Borhaven Arkitekter continue the region’s historical wellness practices, while urban-scale developments like Copenhagen’s Nordhavn by Cobe tackle the challenge of designing for a future marked by climate change.

Résumé:
In the Netherlands, climate change has brought more frequent and extreme rainfall causing pluvial flooding. Though the Dutch have dealt with water for centuries, since the Industrial Revolution urban water systems have become very inflexible and are now unable to deal with these new conditions. Despite the long tradition of building in wet and soft soil conditions, there has been little systematic research on building-site preparation and its relation to urban development and design. This book addresses this issue by investigating the relation between the available technology, the attitude towards the natural conditions and the urban design.

Résumé:
This publication deals with a number of major topical issues brought together on an installation called the "Suburban ark". The theme of this installation was "The flood", which was also the theme for the 2nd international architecture biennal held in Rotterdam from May 26 through June 26, 2005. In a series of lectures, excursions, and workshops taking place during the Biennal, innovative possibilities were developed for the supply of energy and water. The Suburban ank functioned as a floating lab with test rigs for wind energy, freshwater-saltwater energy, and energy from digestion. The Suburban ark opposes the fact that house building on water is subject to comfort-focused facilities of house building on land, and investigates new parcelization typologies for water dwellings. The Suburban ark objects to the relentless consequences of parcelization brought about by the installation of the infrastructure. To point out the direction in which to look for solutions, a number of items of furniture have been developed that are self-contained and capable of operating without the use of existing energy sources, pipes and cables.

Résumé:
In the spirit of David Macaulay’s ''The way things work,'' ''I love my city'' is a treasure trove of information for middle-grade readers who want to know the how and why of cities. Why did cities start appearing in the first place, or become what we know today? How do urban planners know where to place fire stations, schools, and parks? What’s a water tower, and how does it fill the pipes of thousands of people? How about roads and highways, communications and energy, water treatment and waste? The answers to these questions and more can be found in this illustrated global guide to everything urban.

Résumé:
Based on his experiences teaching, researching and practicing in India, Henrik Valeur discusses some of the problems related to the urban transition of India, including air pollution, contamination and depletion of fresh water resources, its precarious food situation, the lack of proper housing, and various environmental and human health problems related to motorized transportation. He proposes a number of possible solutions, including the use of plants and natural ventilation to create clean indoor air, the revitalisation of an existing system of water canals, the creation of vertical kitchen gardens, a strategy for making an entire neighbourhood car-free and a design for self-designed, low-cost housing.
