Résumé:
This volume documents a selection of activities and events at the Harvard Graduate School of Design during the past academic year; bringing together the production of a multitude of designers, authors, and makers. Many of the featured projects reflect the School’s desire to have global impact and transform the built environment for the better. This work has often been undertaken through a combination of individual effort and collaborative practice, with a mindfulness of its reception and consequences for others. We feel compelled to highlight both the autonomy of the output as presented and the performative, circumstantial, and globally responsive conditions of its making. It is very important for us that the work of students and faculty is situated in the world and in the process rethinks and remakes that world.

Résumé:
"Laboratorio de Vivienda" presents the 32 projects selected and built, including research, drawings, and descriptions by the architects. It considers the problem of low-income housing by bringing thoughtful attention and expertise of architects, considering how these proposals, assembled into a collective, would work together toward creating not an estate but a community for Apan, presenting a model of Housing as a Garden. In 2017, Mexico’s Institute for the National Fund for Workers’ (INFONAVIT) Center for Research for Sustainable Development launched a program to solicit new approaches to affordable housing. To better understand the possibilities, and to better educate developers, workers, and students about the research, INFONAVIT engaged with MOS to develop a master plan for a campus of 32 built prototypes and design an education center to promote awareness and study of workers’ housing typologies.

Résumé:
From humble prefabs to the colossal Park Hill in Sheffield, the number of English buildings listed for their special architectural and historical interest is truly staggering; since 1987 alone, more than 300 have received the honor. Every one of them appears here, with 350 color photos, right from the very first post-war residence listed: Sir Albert Richardson's Bracken House, built for the Financial Times in 1955-59 and originally threatened with demolition. Students, architects, tourists, and historians will all find it fascinating to learn about how the process works, its controversial extension to recent architecture, and how the choices are made. Every region in England is covered, with London divided into three areas. The buildings range from traditional works to internationally outstanding modern structures, and include Gibberd's Liverpool and Spence's Coventry Cathedral, the Smithson's Hunstanton School, and Taylor & Green's Norfolk housing.

Résumé:
"The Eyes of the Skin" has become a classic of architectural theory and consists of two extended essays. The first surveys the historical development of the ocular-centric paradigm in western culture since the Greeks and its impact on the experience of the world and the nature of architecture. The second examines the role of the other senses in authentic architectural experiences, and points the way towards a multi-sensory architecture which facilitates a sense of belonging and integration. Since the book's first publication, interest in the role of the body and the senses has been emerging in both architectural philosophy and teaching. This new, revised and extended edition of this seminal work will not only inspire architects and students to design more holistic architecture, but will enrich the general reader's perception of the world around them. Preface by Steven Holl.
