Résumé:
When the “sharing economy” launched a decade ago, proponents claimed that it would transform the experience of work—giving earners flexibility, autonomy, and a decent income. It was touted as a cure for social isolation and rampant ecological degradation. But this novel form of work soon sprouted a dark side: exploited Uber drivers, neighborhoods ruined by Airbnb, racial discrimination, and rising carbon emissions. Several of the most prominent platforms are now faced with existential crises as they prioritize growth over fairness and long-term viability. Based on nearly a decade of pioneering research, this publication dives into what went wrong with this contemporary reimagining of labor. It examines multiple types of data from thirteen cases to identify the unique features and potential of sharing platforms that prior research has failed to pinpoint. Juliet B. Schor presents a compelling argument that we can engineer a reboot: through regulatory reforms and cooperative platforms owned and controlled by users, an equitable and truly shared economy is still possible.

Résumé:
For his newest project, R. Sikoryak tackles the monstrously and infamously dense legal document, iTunes Terms and Conditions, the contract everyone agrees to but no one reads. In a word for word 94-page adaptation, Sikoryak hilariously turns the agreement on its head—each page features an avatar of Apple cofounder and legendary visionary Steve Jobs juxtaposed with a different classic strip such as Mort Walker’s Beetle Bailey, or a contemporary graphic novel such as Craig Thompson’s Blankets or Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis . Adapting the legalese of the iTunes Terms and Conditions into another medium seems like an unfathomable undertaking, yet Sikoryak creates a surprisingly readable document, far different from its original, purely textual incarnation and thus proving the accessibility and flexibility of comics. When Sikoryak parodies Kate Beaton’s Hark A Vagrant peasant comics with Steve Jobs discussing objectionable material or Homer Simpson as Steve Jobs warning of the penalties of copyright infringement, Terms and Conditions serves as a surreal record of our modern digital age where technology competes with enduringly ironclad mediums.

Résumé:
From Epicentres to the luxury raves of guerilla stores, from minimalist aesthetics to pop editorials. The fashion system expects innovation, flexibility, softness and entertainement from architecture. It wants legitimisation. It wants the values of the brand staged by architecture laden with meaning. Tracing 30 years of architecture for fashion and communication strategies, from Elio Fiorucci to Rei Kawakubo, by way of Calvin Klein and Giorgio Armani, learning the Japanese lesson and overturning communicative logics with Prada, what will the possible future scenario of a relationship between fashion and architecture be? Claudio Marenco Mores, architect, graduated from the IUAV en Venice with a thesis on the use of architecture as a means of brand communication. He specialised in brand design and marketing for luxury goods at the European Institute of Design. He has worked as editor for various fshion magazines and is currently the marketing manager for a company involved in lighting design. MODE is a project by Fondazione Pitti Discovery directed by Maria Luisa and devoted to the ideas and figures of the fashion world.

Résumé:
Helmut Jahn´s latest buildings are the result of interdisciplinary thinking taken a step further: they represent a symbiotic collaboration between architecture, engineering and building technology. The credo of this form of architecture engineering is transparency, openness and inner flexibility, and instrumental in its development are among others, Helmut Jahn, Werner Sobek and Matthias Schuler. This innovative team has taken up the challenge of turning optimum technical solutions into intelligent and resource-saving constructions, creating internationally acclaimed architecture of the very highest technical and aesthetical quality: "Modern buildings make the highest demands of technology. And it is not the architect who fulfils them but the engineer" (Helmut Jahn) This volume documents in detail a large number of recent projects in Europe, the USA and Asia by Helmut Jahn, Werner Sobek and Matthias Schuler including the European Union Headquarters in Charlemagne, Munich Airport Center, the Sony Centre in Berlin, the airport Cologne/Bonn, office buildings for the Deutsch Post in Bonn, Shanghai International Expo Centre, Bishopsgate (London), MANN (Chicago), New Bangkok International Airport, Illinois Institute of Technology Campus Center, and Shenzhen Convention and Exhibit Center.

Résumé:
Offices, as a category of building, have probably faced more challenges and undergone more dramatic changes in the last few years than most other kinds of buildings. Increasing economic globalization, new information and communication technologies, and ecological considerations are all making demands on a branch of architecture which for nearly a century had been marked by the construction norms and standards, and the requirements of office organisation. These old solutions are, however, no longer viable for many modern companies, where flexibility and mobility determine the working day of a new generation of office nomads, and architecture is having to adapt. With some 70 significant international examples taken from the last five years (including examples from Norman Foster, Frank O. Gehry, Thomas Herzog, Morphosis MVRDV, Renzo Piano, SOM), the authors and editors show how the new issues facing architects can be resolved. In addition to introductory texts there are also thematic contributions by experts in various disciplines on related topics including the new models of work organisation, façade technology, climatic regulation, lighting etc. Similar to our enormously successful Floor Plan Atlas, this volume will be a crucial standard work in the design of offices.
