The author of "The Death and Life of Great American Cities," she uncovered the complex and intertwined physical and social fabric of the city and excoriated the urban renewal policies of the 1950s. As the legend goes, Jacobs, a housewife, single-handedly stood up to Robert Moses, New York City's powerful master builder, and other city planners who sought first to level her Greenwich Village neighborhood and then to drive a highway through it. Jacobs's most effective weapons in these David-versus-Goliath battles, and in writing her book, were her powers of observation and common sense.

Résumé:
The contributors to this volume trace cinema in Iceland from the 1979 establishment of the Icelandic Film Fund — before which the country’s film industry barely existed — through today. In a series of scene reviews, they show how rapidly the city has changed over the past thirty years. In thematic spotlight articles, they go on to explore such topics as the relationship between Iceland and its capital city; youth culture and night life; the relationship between film and the local music community; cinematic representations of Scandinavian crime; and filmmakers’ response to the 2008 banking crisis. Together, these varied contributions show how films shot in Reykjavík have been shaped both by Iceland’s remoteness from the rest of the world and by Icelandic filmmakers’ sense that the city remains forever on the brink of desolate and harsh wilderness.

Résumé:
We walk in cities with no postcards, only to collect postcards from home. We close our eyes to move our bodies through dense tourism and rising floods. We drive through the past, holding on to occult rituals to stay rooted. We taste the city on the go, misled by its disguised façades and concealed staircases. We bring home wild plants, only to forget them, and choose to(...)

We drive through the past, holding on to occult rituals to stay rooted. We taste the city on the go, misled by its disguised façades and concealed staircases. We bring home wild plants, only to forget them, and choose to live beside volcanoes despite the risk. We switch off the lights to walk under the stars, and to hear the echoes of suppressed rivers. In this issue, we sense all kinds of flows. Issue 08 will take you to TIRANA – ATHENS – MUSCAT – LISBON – BENIDORM – MADRID – NEW YORK CITY – NAPLES – ISTANBUL – VALLETTA – PARIS – OAXACA – YEREVAN, with a city guide on VENICE.

Résumé:
Nicholas Howe contemplates how places create and gather their stories and how, in turn, a sense of place locates the stories of our own lives. Howe begins with a description of Buffalo, that city on an inland sea where he grew up. He gives us a fresh Paris, viewed from the river below. And he depicts Oklahoma as a site of open lands and dislocation--a place of coming(...)

Résumé:
Nicholas Howe contemplates how places create and gather their stories and how, in turn, a sense of place locates the stories of our own lives. Howe begins with a description of Buffalo, that city on an inland sea where he grew up. He gives us a fresh Paris, viewed from the river below. And he depicts Oklahoma as a site of open lands and dislocation--a place of coming and going. Howe then turns to Chartres, a traditional location of pilgrimage, to ask what other sites might still be capable of compelling visitors in secular time. He portrays Berlin as a scene of twentieth-century history--and a city that helped him make sense of his American life. Finally, he writes about Columbus, Ohio, as home. Vividly rendering the places he has known, Howe meditates on the weight of home, the temptations of the metropolis, the fact of dislocation, the unraveling of history, the desire to remake ourselves through voyage, and the wonder of the familiar. In ways that too often elude travel writers, it is place that holds our imagination, that inspires much of our art and literature. Across an Inland Sea evokes the various senses of place that can fill and haunt a life--and ultimately give life its form and meaning.

Résumé:
A “partition” (score) is a special representational form. It is linked to instructions for action and looks forward rather than backward: to the planning of a forthcoming event. The “open score” goes one step further: it articulates the process of producing new realities and their indeterminacy. In his latest publication, Christopher Dell sketches an “open-ended city(...)

Résumé:
A “partition” (score) is a special representational form. It is linked to instructions for action and looks forward rather than backward: to the planning of a forthcoming event. The “open score” goes one step further: it articulates the process of producing new realities and their indeterminacy. In his latest publication, Christopher Dell sketches an “open-ended city score.” The term does not refer to a representation of urban sound texture, nor is the city interpreted in an aestheticizing or musicprogramming sense. Instead, urban processes are rendered visible in a new form, by deploying a musical mode of spatial conception as a filter and perspective. For temporality and the dimension of action are vital components in unveiling the visual structures of phenomena in urban practice.

Beginning in the 1970s, Tokyo participated in this trend. However, repeated destruction and rapid redevelopment left the city with little building stock of recognized historical value. Late twentieth-century Tokyo thus presents an illuminating case of the emergence of a new sense of history in the city’s physical environment, since it required both a shift in perceptions of value and a search for history in the margins and interstices of a rapidly modernizing cityscape.

Résumé:
Performative Urban Design identifies emerging trends in urban design as they are reflected in a city's architecture and spatial design. A 'cultural grafting' of the inner city is taking place, and urban development is pursuing an intense city life in which architecture and art are playing a catalytic role. On the one hand, this development has focused on massive investments in 'corporate architecture.' On the other hand, cities have invested heavily in new cultural centers and performative urban spaces that can fulfill a growing desire for entertainment and culture. This anthology addresses these issues through the three lenses of: Sense Architecture, Place Making, and Urban Catalyst. The articles identify the relevant theoretical positions within architecture, art, and urban strategies, and they demonstrate the concepts and methodological approaches drawn from practical experience.
