Résumé:
Conquering the extremes: LIQUIFER Systems Group, a design and research firm based in Vienna and Bremen, has been addressing the issue of human life on Earth and elsewhere in the universe for two decades. Their work demonstrates how consideration of technology-based design solutions and careful use of available resources can enable us to live in space. Their concepts, feasibility studies, and technological developments all deal with the key issue of scarcity that defines life everywhere: on Mars, on the Moon, in orbit, as well as on Earth. LIQUIFER. Living Beyond Earth is the first book to present the practice’s groundbreaking work.

Résumé:
Video (television, film, the moving image generally) is today's most popular information medium. Two-thirds of the world's internet traffic is video. Americans get their news and information more often from screens and speakers than through any other means. "The moving image" is the first authoritative account of how we have arrived here, together with the first definitive manual to help writers, educators, and publishers use video more effectively. Drawing on decades as an educator, publisher, and producer, MIT's Peter Kaufman presents new tools, best practices, and community resources for integrating film and sound into media that matters.

Résumé:
The House of Memory is the architectural symbol of a historical and civil consciousness characteristic of Milan. Its construction was supported by the municipality in order to provide headquarters for the principal associations involved in keeping alive the memory of the Resistance, the Liberation, and the foundation of the Italian Republic. Comprising essays and numerous architectural drawings, plus photographs by Stefano Graziani, this book describes in detail how a public work was funded using resources deriving from an urban intervention of a private nature while respecting both history and context, and developed and realised through a participatory approach.

Résumé:
Wood has a long history as a building material, and for a while it seemed as if its final chapter ended during the 1950s. But things turned out differently. Today a true renaissance in timber construction is underway, and in many places it is finding expression in urban contexts. Wood buildings are appearing in ever-greater numbers, heights and typologies, from industrial buildings and museums to sports halls. Timber construction has long since liberated itself from the cliché of single-family countryside cottages. Thanks to new technologies and methods, wood has become a popular building material – conserving resources and offering a promising future.

Résumé:
Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, has one of the most important buildings of the 20th century: its parliamentary building by Louis I. Kahn constructed between 1961 and 1982. Little is known, however, about the local architecture scene that has emerged since then. Yet contemporary architecture in Bangladesh exhibits a strong formal idiom that has its roots in tradition and is combined with an innovative handling of local resources such as bamboo and brick. Alongside texts by Andreas Ruby, Niklaus Graber, Kazi Khaleed, Saif Ul Haque and Syed Manzoorul Islam, the special photographs taken by Iwan Baan for this publication capture the imagination.

Résumé:
Presented here are recent collective housing projects - in phase of development or execution through 2007 - that are characterised by their use of densification models in combination with good architecture. Many of the projects incorporate other uses, alongside residential ones in their programmes. This contributes both to density and intensity of use in respective environments, in turn creating new urban nuclei and providing a solution to strained resources. Fully illustrated with plans, diagrams and elevations, ‘Density Projects' includes works from the likes of; BIG, Jean Nouvel, Kohn Pedersen Fox, MGM, No.MAD, Stephen Holl, Studio Gang Architects and VMX architects.

Résumé:
Reflecting daily life in Slovenia, ''Living With Water'' is the catalogue for the Slovenian Pavilion at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition. From rivers, glacial lakes, and waterfalls, to bogs, karst, disappearing lakes, and thermal springs, water is one of the most potent and decisive factors determining both the country's landscapes and its supply of drinking water. A multidisciplinary team of thirteen architects, landscape architects, urban planners, researchers, and strategists rethink water management and the protection of water resources. From site-specific case studies to alternative models, they explore the complexity of natural and artificial water systems.
