This volume presents the projects of Rural Urban Framework, the non-profit collective of architects based at the University of Hong Kong and led by Joshua Bolchover and John Lin, whose work starts from a careful analysis of the recent urbanization triggered by villages and rural collectives in China to found a procedural and participatory work where architecture can never be considered a finished product (as we are often used to in the West) but a relational element open to the context in which it operates.

"R.

Drawing extensively on his archive and with over 300 images, the book follows Fuller’s explorations of geometry, language and intellectual property in their relation to design principles and pedagogy, organizing its survey of Fuller’s work through parallel conceptual threads rather than in a linear chronology of his career.

Rather than focusing on an analysis of an ostensibly universal emotion or general state of affairs, the contributions look into the concrete and diverse practices of engagement with loss and grief as a continual challenge to society.

Résumé:
The twelfth instalment of the ‘Contemporary Architect’s Concept Series’ focuses on cartographer and landscape architect Hajime Ishikawa, who structures his ideas around the keyword “scale”. The topics in each chapter are therefore ordered from a wide to a local scale. Variations of the perception of scale allow for a more flexible conception of, for example, what defines a garden, or what can be made visible through both a wider context and closer examination. Using these methods, the chapters investigate topography, maps, time, boundaries and gardens.

Résumé:
The Rationalist Reader incorporates the first documentary collection of writing on rationalism in twentieth century architecture, providing an accessible introduction to the subject, direct insight into the thinking of individual architects and their critics, and a current re-evaluation of the context from which they emerged. German architectural historian Thilo Hilpert and Dutch architect and critic Henk Engel, provide introductions to the two periods, while Cambridge historian Nicholas Bullock contributes a linking piece focused on French experience post-war. A postscript samples retrospective views.
