Résumé:
Recent years have seen significant changes in architectural practice, where digital technology is widespread and commonplace – a condition referred to as “post-digital”. Technological and ecological disruptions are forcing architects to adapt and re-strategize. This issue features research and education institutions where such explorations are being actively pursued: Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles, Bartlett School of Architecture at University College London, and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. It introduces pioneering projects that push the boundaries in their respective fields, redefining architecture within the post-digital context.

Résumé:
In the postwar era, sidewalk palms grew into symbols of urban Los Angeles. Tall ranks of Mexican fan palm became familiar fixtures on the horizon, generic landmarks, the original skyscrapers of the horizontal metropolis. The entertainment industry magnified their stature. Advertisements, telecasts, television shows, movies, song recordings, and music videos produced in Southern California made ready use of street palm imagery. For ‘Los Angeles Palms’ Marie-José Jongerius revisited the most iconic and historic sights in the Los Angeles area to portray the palms which have all contributed to the iconic image of Los Angeles.

The Southern California architect Gregory Ain (1908–1988) collaborated with some of the most important figures of midcentury design, including Rudolph Schindler, Richard Neutra, and Charles and Ray Eames, and yet remains relatively unknown. Perhaps one reason for this anonymity is that although he designed private homes for wealthy liberals, Ain was more interested in(...)

Résumé:
The Southern California architect Gregory Ain (1908–1988) collaborated with some of the most important figures of midcentury design, including Rudolph Schindler, Richard Neutra, and Charles and Ray Eames, and yet remains relatively unknown. Perhaps one reason for this anonymity is that although he designed private homes for wealthy liberals, Ain was more interested in finding ways to produce high-quality, low-cost houses in well-designed neighborhood settings for working-class families. This is the first book to examine the innovative housing projects that synthesized Ain's architectural and political ideals.

Unconventional juxtapositions allow the viewer to transcend distances and boundaries and to leap from the glacial lake of Jökulsárlón in Iceland to the tropical Indian Ocean; from the Israeli separation barrier to the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River; from the suburbs of California to the plains of Kenya.

On the one hand it maintains its reputation as a sleezy centre for booze, sex and crime, and on the other it aspires to, and is slowly achieving, the sophistication and affluence of California–just a few miles and another world away.(...)

Tijuana is a border-town in all respects. It hovers between Mexico and the United States, not just physically, but psychologically. On the one hand it maintains its reputation as a sleezy centre for booze, sex and crime, and on the other it aspires to, and is slowly achieving, the sophistication and affluence of California–just a few miles and another world away. Divided into three sections, "Here is Tijuana !" deals with the socio-cultural issues, the morality and the urban development of the city. Photographic essays accompany the text and bring the city to life.

Résumé:
Presented by ETH Studio Jan De Vylder, Carrousel Confessions Confusion is a series revealing both the authors’ personal interests and the studio’s own pursuits in the form of confessions. Landscape architect Christophe Girot is the featured personage in this volume. Girot writes about his experiences growing up in England and France, and how the juxtaposition of the regions’ landscapes already happened in his mind, long before he had ever heard or studied anything about it. These contradictory aesthetic and cultural values drove him to study landscape architecture someplace else entirely – Berkeley, California, in the 1980s – where he found his own values challenged anew.
