Résumé:
The city of Mumbai in India is undergoing dramatic transformations and the forces driving these changes in the city are forcing new modes of urbanism and urbanization to be realised. In particular, social, economic and political forces are aggressively pushing the evolution of an urban form in which local architects and planners are struggling to qualitatively intervene.

Résumé:
Hurricane Sandy was a fierce demonstration of the ecological vulnerability of New York, a city of islands. Yet the storm also revealed the resilience of a metropolis that has started during the past decade to reckon with its aqueous topography. In Fluid New York, May Joseph describes the many ways that New York, and New Yorkers, have begun to incorporate the city's archipelago ecology into plans for a livable and sustainable future. For instance, by cleaning its tidal marshes, the municipality has turned a previously dilapidated waterfront into a space for public leisure and rejuvenation.

Résumé:
The rhythmograms of Heinrich Heidersberger (1906-2006) are intricately curved compositions of pure light that weave together abstract figures, organisms and space. The artist created these complex light patterns during the 1950s and 1960s, capturing the invisible and elusive worlds of time and motion in a single frame. Widely known as an architectural photographer of postwar modernism, Heidersberger's little-known rhythmograms serve as a fascinating bridge between the work of early modernists and the future of algorithmic art and architecture. This is the first critical study of these rhythmograms in all their delicate detail.

Résumé:
This instalment investigates two main themes: Live/Work Hybrids and Recovering Wood. In the first, seven small office projects are examined that raise questions about how working space will be organized in the future. With advancements in communications technology, Fraher Architects, Carlo Bagliani, Akitoshi Ukai and others demonstrate the office block’s possible demise. Also, wood is back in fashion. Projects by Shigeru Ban, Gensler, HAMR and more show its recovery as a contemporary building material, revealing the motives for this renewed interest, like technological discoveries and softening the encounter between our natural and built environment.

Résumé:
Never Built Los Angeles explores the “what if” Los Angeles, investigating the values and untapped potential of a city still in search of itself. Through text and more than 400 color and black-and-white illustrations drawn from archives around the U.S., authors Sam Lubell and Greg Goldin explore the visceral (and sometimes misleading) power of architectural ideas conveyed through sketches, renderings, blueprints, models and the now waning art of hand drawing. Many of these schemes--promoting a denser, more vibrant city--are still relevant today and could inspire future designs.
