Résumé:
The third volume in a four-part series on ALICE's teachings, ''Beyond the Object: The Imagination of Space'' follows up on ''The House 1 Catalogue'' and ''The Invention of Space'', proposing an alternative cultural history of architecture derived from the notion of spatial design rather than technical engineering and construction. Among the topics discussed are the common and scientific understandings of space and how they can be applied to contemporary architectural practice. Using Zurich as an exemplar of urban planning and development, the new volume combines fact with fiction to broaden the view upon future scenarios.

Résumé:
Led by Edward P. Bass Distinguished Visiting Architecture Fellow Marc de La Bruyère and Claire Weisz founding principal of WXY Architecture Students of the Yale School of Architecture sought to investigate and propose history-conscious proposals for housing in Edmonton, Canada, a city poised for future economic growth. The students assessed how climate, economic forces, and urban contexts impacted the composition of housing typologies over time in various contexts and then focused on “Gateway Sites” in Edmonton. The students created proposals that utilized innovative housing schemes and applied socially responsible real estate development to form solutions for local ecological, social, and marketing challenges.

Résumé:
Faced with environmental, social, and political precarity, what are our supports? Five artist groups inhabiting an in-between public space in downtown Vancouver offer a response to these questions. Their projects made forms of connection, self-organisation and mutual aid, friendship as a medium, and collective, critically engaged pleasure activism visible. ''What are our supports?'' looks at the frameworks artists propose in working to create change in a city rampant with urban development and regulation. It chronicles documentation from each project and presents critical essays, poetry, and reprinted texts by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson and Celine Condorelli.

Résumé:
Presented here are recent collective housing projects - in phase of development or execution through 2007 - that are characterised by their use of densification models in combination with good architecture. Many of the projects incorporate other uses, alongside residential ones in their programmes. This contributes both to density and intensity of use in respective environments, in turn creating new urban nuclei and providing a solution to strained resources. Fully illustrated with plans, diagrams and elevations, ‘Density Projects' includes works from the likes of; BIG, Jean Nouvel, Kohn Pedersen Fox, MGM, No.MAD, Stephen Holl, Studio Gang Architects and VMX architects.
