Résumé:
This double issue of TC Cuadernos explores two decades of Kengo Kuma & Associates' prolific production, focusing on their urban architecture between 2006 and 2024. Through a careful selection of projects, the monograph offers a comprehensive overview of KKAA's evolution and its constant interplay between the rural, explored in TC 158, and the urban. The work is organised around five key strategies: attract, mimetize, hide, occupy and organise. These categories reveal how Kuma approaches urban design in complex contexts. Projects such as the V Dundee Museum in Scotland and the 1550 Alberni Street Tower in Vancouver demonstrate his ability to create architectural landmarks without resorting to traditional monumentalism, prioritising materiality and the environment. On the other hand, the Asakusa Tourist Information Centre in Tokyo and the Nezu Museum show how his architecture is subtly integrated into the urban landscape.

Résumé:
Africa’s population and economic growth make it the world’s fastest urbanizing continent. While some might still associate Africa with rural development, the future of Africa is, in fact, very urban. This urbanization is a huge challenge in areas with fragile institutional frameworks and chronic poverty. Many migrants moving to the city end up in self-organized settlements without basic services. ''Urban Africa'' brings together authors from various academic, political, and design backgrounds: as well as case studies on new towns in Ghana, Egypt, South Africa, Angola, Morocco, Kenya etc. In this way, the book provides a critical narrative about contemporary ''Urban Africa'' and the western world’s role – if any – in the radical transformations happening today.

Résumé:
Landscape architecture creates and shapes open spaces for human beings. It combines nature and architecture and links grown and planned environments. It depends on local factors such as the climate, type of soil, as well as varying local traditions much more than structural design.

Résumé:
Landscape architecture creates and shapes open spaces for human beings. It combines nature and architecture and links grown and planned environments. It depends on local factors such as the climate, type of soil, as well as varying local traditions much more than structural design. This book presents the whole wealth of this fascinating sector featuring projects from around the world–from the classic fields of horticulture and park design, to LandArt and urban outdoor design, which make do without grass and trees entirely, up to the current ecological themes of interior gardens and façade greening.

Résumé:
This book presents Balmori’s vision of the theory and practice of urban landscape design as a discipline that combines the science of ecology with the formal aspects of aesthetics. Here, Balmori advocates a new formal language that reflects a philosophical shift in our traditional understanding of nature, along with “realignments” in how humans relate to nature and live(...)

Résumé:
This book presents Balmori’s vision of the theory and practice of urban landscape design as a discipline that combines the science of ecology with the formal aspects of aesthetics. Here, Balmori advocates a new formal language that reflects a philosophical shift in our traditional understanding of nature, along with “realignments” in how humans relate to nature and live in our world today, changes that will shape the livable city of the future. A Landscape Manifesto includes discussions of urban ecology, environmental conservation, and environmentally beneficial building techniques.
