Italian Edition. This book, with texts by Cesare Maria Casati, Francesca Cerruti, Guido Musante and Giorgio Tartaro, documents the conception and construction of the modern Headquarters of the AB Medica industrial group in Cerro Maggiore, designed by architect Giuseppe Tortato 10 years after its construction. Inspired by the hulls of super-fast boats, the project for the new AB Medica Headquarters expresses the dynamism and innovation of a group at the forefront of research, combined with attention to energy saving and the psychophysical wellbeing of its workers. A ‘fast’ and functional building that, at the same time, represents the activities it contains with its forms. Eco-sustainability, industry, creativity and experimentation, sun exposure, elimination of motorway noise pollution, and workers' wellbeing are the main points of the project tailor-made for the client.

Today, the huge power station with its extraordinary, light-filled hall can be rented for events and film production, but its future is not secure. Power and Energies reutilization plans, which were conceived for a contest sponsored by Vattenfall Europe AG, come from architects, planners and conservationists alike, and are full of creative architectural solutions and innovative ideas. This volume combines essays on the history of the building with the entire range of plans submitted, including detailed documentation of prizewinning designs. Its models and ideas will entrance anyone considering the conversion of large historical buildings or examining the phenomenon.

Résumé:
Over the past decade, people have learned about oil contamination in the Ecuadorian Amazon through toxic tours in which a guide brings participants – students, lawyers, environmental activists, journalists, and foreign tourists – to visit contaminated sites. These toxic tours combine personal experience and local knowledge to convince visitors of the immediacy of environmental issues. Drawing on extensive research and fieldwork, ''Toxic'' takes the reader on a visual toxic tour through the Amazon. Following the story of three fictional participants, this graphic novel paints a visceral picture of the waste pits, gas flares, and precarious lives of people in this region. The book challenges the reader to consider what it means to live in a place and historical moment where victims of industrial toxicants are continually required to prove that harm has occurred.

The aim of this work was the desire to investigate a new theory of reuse at a time when space is corrupted by traces of the recent past resulting from speculation and ‘easy building’. The paradigm of architecture’s function is changing and the project must be in dialogue with the possibility of architecture having many more lives than what it was imagined for, perhaps returning to being what it has always been, an organism ready to be everything and composed of layers of time, just as the history of architecture has taught us by building on the built without fear.

Architecturally and aesthetically, they are still impressive, but technical and economic progress has made many such works redundant today. Consequently, innovative concepts are needed to uncover the huge potential of these materpieces of industrial architecture for new scenarios of use. New Power presents more than 20 buildings that are available for re-use. Besides well-known transformer stations designed by Franz Heinrich Schwechten and Hans Heinrich Müller, high-quality architectural projects from the 50s and 60s are also introduced here. In addition, examples of successful re-use during recent years indicate the diversity of projects that can secure the buildings of the Electropolis a rewarding future.

Résumé:
All urban dwellers have seen them: vacant apartment blocks, blighted business districts, destitute streets, industrial wastelands. Exurban growth has led to shrinking cities, a perennial problem. Grappling with this change, both philosophically and practically, is the purpose of this illustrated collection of essays, a rich resource for the generation of architects, engineers, and urban planners who must face the decay. The contributions by a range of politicians, scholars, and planners arose out of the series of "Tatort Stadt" ("Work Place City") events, conferences, and exhibitions sponsored by the German government and the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation (the research and design center carrying forward the Bauhaus legacy). Exploring both current and proposed projects, these approaches recognize the need for structural change, acknowledging that urban redevelopment requires much more than demolition.

A lasting symbol of this time in history remains today: the imposing coaling towers that pepper the country and which once held the coal that powered steam locomotives. Over the course of five years and 20,000 miles, photographer Jeff Brouws documented these towers. "Silent Monoliths" tells their story. The towers, built of concrete, a modern material with historical roots traceable to the Roman aqueducts, were constructed to replace aging (and less fire-retardant and less efficient) wooden coaling wharves and chutes. As the railroads transitioned from steam to diesel in the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s, most of these coaling towers slipped into obsolescence—some demolished, others "retired-in-place" and left standing.

In the postwar era, Ponti and his associates Antonio Fornaroli and Alberto Rosselli shaped the architectural image of Milan but were also active across the globe from Caracas to Tehran, Denver, Islamabad and Eindhoven. "More than one: Gio Ponti" delves into the many components of Ponti’s creative contribution to the 20th century and traces his enduring influence in Italy and across the globe.

It starts in full conviction that the current project on the United States has to focus both on the countryside and on an attenpt to introduce some kind of commons. We feel the best way to illustrate this is to start where the commons have dissolved, in what used to be called 'The Village'. Here in this booklet, two tracks are presented: a set of projects in agricultural Iowa that rethink co-op into small village centers, and another in post-industrial Ohio, where in the post-Hoover restart, fragments and islands are formalised as micro-urban organisms.
