Résumé:
This book provides a diverse range of responses to New York's PlaNYC, the first strategic plan for the city since 1969 released by Mayor Bloomberg in 2007. The Notebook includes presentations by local policymakers explaining the approach to the plan and responses by local urban enthusiasts from a symposium held in November, 2007 by the Institute for Urban Design. These help to put the plan into some context, and precede a section of critical and analytical responses by prominent authors, designers, and theorists commissioned since. Contributors include Richard Sennett, Michael Sorkin, James Wines, Sharon Zukin, Marshall Berman, Winka Dubbeldam, Teddy Cruz, and Stephen Witherford alongside a number of other distinguished figures.

Audio CD, 24:43 Minutes. Originally released by Mass Art in 1966, the record never saw thorough distribution as the publisher went bankrupt shortly after its release. Later, in 1968, How to Make a Happening was distributed on a limited basis through Something Else Press—A laminated and silk-screened cover by Alison Knowles distinguished this edition from its predecessor. Simple in construction, yet profound in context, How to Make a Happening is Allan Kaprow delivering 11 rules on how, and how not, to make a Happening, a movement begun by Kaprow in the late fifties that is known for its unpredictability, open scores, and constantly-evolving form.

Résumé:
These essays show Angela McRobbie reflecting on a range of issues which have political consequence for women, particularly young women, in a context where it is frequently assumed that progress has been made in the last 30 years, and that with gender issues now 'mainstreamed' in cultural and social life, the moment of feminism per se is now passed.

Résumé:
These essays show Angela McRobbie reflecting on a range of issues which have political consequence for women, particularly young women, in a context where it is frequently assumed that progress has been made in the last 30 years, and that with gender issues now 'mainstreamed' in cultural and social life, the moment of feminism per se is now passed. McRobbie trenchantly argues that it is precisely on these grounds that invidious forms of gender -re-stabilisation are able to be re-established. Consumer culture, she argues, encroaches on the terrain of so called female freedom, appears supportive of female success only to tie women into new post-feminist neurotic dependencies.

Gehry, Steven Holl, Hans Kollhoff, Morger & Degelo, MVRDV, Jean Nouvel, Kas Oosterhuis, illustrate the subjects discussed. "Housing" and "Single-Family Housing" were previously published separately.

Résumé:
Using New York as an example, the photographic project "EndCommercial" deals with the urban space, dissecting it into its semantic components. Picture for picture, photograph for photograph, the inner grammar of the urban context reveals itself. Collected in and on the streets, the principles of order and life signs of biotopes at the bottom end of the economic process are documented: writings on the wall, signs on the street, codes, symbols, fragments, authorship of the anonymous, wear and tear of the public living space and the people who use it. The surprise the book holds is the sudden perception of what has frequently been seen but seldom registered.

Résumé:
From their Dublin-based studio, Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara – Grafton Architects – rethink urban landscapes and study the relevance of contemporary architecture. Over more than forty years of practice, the studio has completed, in Ireland and internationally, a body of work that has merited the most prestigious architectural distinctions. Coherent and essential, bold and vigorous, the buildings by Grafton Architects are born of critical reflection and sensitive dialogue with the existing context. This approach is reflected in the sixteen works and projects included in this monograph, organized into four sections and preceded by a text in which the architects themselves express their interests and concerns.

Résumé:
What started as an easy solution – trawling through the magazine’s archives in search of interviews and conversations to bundle and reprint – turned into a complex analysis of “datedness”. Blind spots were revealed, old trends came to light, instances of amnesia emerged, and sometimes it seemed like nothing had changed. The editors decided to give the original interviewees and writers a chance to reflect, perhaps redeem themselves, even decades later. Some were unable and others were no longer reachable. So they asked respected colleagues and experts to comment or give their own context instead. The result is illuminating, a truly layered celebration of the space in between.

Résumé:
The fourth edition of the Chapters series by Belgian architecture firm 51N4E proposes a fresh approach to urban design, using infrastructure as a spark for collective thinking about what we value and invest in as a society. Developed with Newrope, it blends research and practice to explore how infrastructural boundary objects – elements that both structure space and encourage new uses – can play a key role in shaping cities. Drawing on eight 51N4E projects in Central Europe and four design themes from Newrope (intimacy, pattern, performance, togetherness), the book examines how each project responds to its local context, creating spaces that are stable yet adaptable over time.

Résumé:
Ulrich Franzen was born in 1921 in Düsseldorf and studied architecture with Marcel Breuer and Walter Gropius at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. From 1950-55 he worked for I.M. Pei before opening his own architectural office in New York in 1955. His encounter with Modernism had a determining influence on his work, and Franzen soon developed his own individual architectural language. Reference to context and collage, the bringing together of different elements in free composition are typical themes in his work. The spectrum of his architecture spans elegant, generous residences and severe, rigorous buildings for industry and research. He has also worked on projects in urban development.
