Résumé:
In this new volume of the CCA Singles presenting the Meanwhile in Japan conversations, Toyo Ito sat with a group of young architects and academics to discuss how his early work of the 1970s and 1980s took a radical approach to intervening in a newly emerged consumerist culture in Tokyo. As architects elsewhere in the world sought to break through the conventions of modernism, Ito attempted to bring new significance to architecture in a rapidly transforming city, with particular attention to the lives of women in urban society. Led by Koji Ichikawa, the conversation included Mikio Wakabayashi, Kozo Kadowaki, Yutaro Muraji, Leo Tanishige, Mariko Terada, Naohiko Hino, Erika Nakagawa, and Tomoharu Makabe.

Résumé:
What role can history play in contemporary architecture practice? ''Besides, History: Go Hasegawa, Kersten Geers, David Van Severen'' invites three architects to reread, redraw, translate, and appropriate from the past and from each other in order to construct relationships between and meanings out of a constellation of references. In their conversations, history becomes a tool that can be used in production, rather than just an object of study. The book features newly produced plans, sections, models, and perspectives for projects by Go Hasegawa and OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen, juxtaposed with reference material chosen from the CCA Collection. Introduced and annotated by the architects, these images form a visual manifesto for a unique relationship to history.

Résumé:
The publication features essays by twelve authors grouped in four parts. It represents a major advance in the study of nineteenth century photographic representations of Indian architecture and a benchmark in the study of post-colonial history. Collectively, the authors demonstrate how photographs can be read not just as records of an architectural past, but as complex artefacts of the cultural and political forces shaping colonial India. Contributors include CCA Associate Curator Maria Antonella Pelizzari; art historian Stephen Bann; historians of photography Julia Ballerini, John Falconer and Janet Dewan; historical anthropologist Nicholas Dirks; political theorist Partha Chatterjee; colonial historians Tapati Guha-Thakurta and Peter H. Hoffenberg, Narayani Gupta and Thomas R. Metcalf; and anthropologist Christopher Pinney.

Résumé:
Addressing the pivotal role played by speed in modern life – from art, architecture, and urbanism to graphics and design, to economics and the material culture of the eras of industry and information – Speed Limits presents a multifaceted view that is both a defence of speed and an implicit denunciation of its detrimental effect on contemporary life. Along with the essays, the book includes an anthology of nineteenth- and twentieth-century statements on speed and slowness from writers such as Charles Dickens, Friedrich Nietzsche, Marcel Proust, J.G. Ballard, Italo Calvino, and Marshall McLuhan, among others. Dividing these two sections is a visual essay by Jeffrey T. Schnapp that draws images from the archives of the CCA and the Wolfsonian.

Résumé:
Published in concert with a major exhibition at the CCA in 1995, ''Scenes of the World to Come'' analyses the global structures and thematic strategies according to which American architectural forms and urban models migrated to the Old Continent, bringing the promise of a new architecture and, along with it, the threat of a dissolution of European identity. The text traces the assimilation of American models in the various countries of Europe: in Germany, where the discipline of urban planning was founded; in futurist and fascist Italy; in France, where the Beaux-Arts tradition was profoundly shaken by contact with America; in avant-garde and Stalinist Russia; and in Great Britain after 1945.
